Horribly injured during the final events of the Undying Horror, the Warlord of The Brotherhood of Rhomb Anton Varla’s mangled body was taken back to the town of Whysburg barely alive after being crushed by the flailing tentacles of the Elder God Ubbo Sathla.
Over long months his bones were melding with ancient arcane metals, his muscles healed by a combination of weird science and bizarre regenerative chemicals, and special weapons and enhanced battle armor was fused into his tortured frame by the doctors, mystics and weaponsmiths of the Brotherhood. But his powerful body lacked the energy to do anything other than command his warriors from an iron bed. That was until it was infused by the surging elemental energy they had drained from captured Primordial prisoners! Now glowing with purpose, Varla rose, the first of a new team of surgically enhanced fighters he would dub Frankenstein’s Troopers due to their overwhelming power and hideous appearance.
Led by the massive flesh golem Cronus, originally a creation of the NETHERWORLD, now a servant of the Brotherhood, this new team was unfortunately exceedingly few in number, and even they began to fall along with their fellow human warriors to the massive onslaught of Undead that were attacking from below the mountain.
The entire town was in the final stages of war, desperate to finish building the massive missile known as Carcosas Bane and launch it into the mountain to destroy the primary gate to the NETHERWORLD. Could they complete the missile before Whyshburg was overrun, and the captured elemental energy fed upon by the greedy dead of the corpse army?
Help came in the form of the sometimes friend sometimes foe, The Alchemist, Gehard Dorn.
Seemingly a shriveled mummy yet somehow still alive he offered a potion containing the Werewolf Virus, that when energised with Primordial energy would allow regular troops to become battle frenzied Werewolves! But the price was high, the return of certain artifacts relating to the Gorgons that Varla had acquired in recent years.
Varla agreed, he had no choice as his army was falling! Volunteers stepped forward and as promised were transformed into savage Lycanthropes, leaping directly into the fight, ripping the dead into still crawling pieces! The Wolves could not be contained however and were as likely to attack friend as foe. Fortunately their natural hatred for vampires sent them howling into the woods to attack the Colber Mansion where the biggest vampire nest was hiding.
The tide of battle was now turning in favor of Whyshburg, until a new wave of horrors approached. The Hideous Undying, giant things that could not be killed had come forth from the mountain. The ancient spawn of evil gods and humans, each one more horrible than the last marched slowly towards the town crushing everything in their path. Varla then pulled out his last weapon, huge Warbots created by the Brotherhood to battle the undying and sent them against the giant nightmares!
Now the battle was at hand. Frankensteinian creations, Savage Werewolves, and Massive Warbots against a seemingly unlimited army of the dead aided by Vampires and the gigantic unstoppable Undying! Worse still, the ancient serpent god of the dead Apophis had just emerged from the NETHERWORLD to take command of the undead army!
The Brotherhood’s cause seemed hopeless… All they needed was just a little more time to complete Carcosas Bane and launch it to destroy the NETHERWORLD gate forever!
