Before Text:

After enduring a long winter of mining underground for gold, spring has finally come for three little gnome brothers. The brothers load up what gold they have collected into their wagon and can finally go home. As the tired gnomes carry the last of the gold out of the mine they notice their bounty being stolen by monkeys! Stop that grand theft wagon!!!

After Text:

Good job gnomes, you put an end to that monkey business! However, one of the monkeys threw something that hit you and oh my it stinks! Alright no more monkeying around, head home and get some rest.

Spoiler: Hints

Tall Beech Trees have long limbs that can only hit targets that are at range, get in there you tree-hugger!

Spring Cleaning - (Map Two)

Before Text:

The three fatigued little gnome brothers head home to get some well-deserved rest. But wait... what is this? In the gnomes' absence their humble gnome-home has been overrun with dennisons of the forest! Gnome more mister nice guy, time for some good old spring cleaning.

After Text:

Whew.. that was no fun, although spring cleaning never is! Now that the work is done these little gnomes can finally get some rest in their lovely gnome-home. Like Mama-Gnome always said, there's no place like gnome.

Gnome Sweet Gnome:
Keep Lore Elves - (Map Three)

Before Text:

The three exhausted gnomes open the front door to their gnome-home, eager to get their well-deserved rest. Unfortunately, the gnome brothers quickly notice that something is not right. What is that smell? Why it smells like... cookies?! It appears that elves from the nearby stronghold of Keep Lore have commandeered the hollow tree to bake delicious treats! To arms gnomes, to arms! Teach those filthy Keep Lore elves a lesson.

After Text:

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen! Never mess with a gnome when he's in his home or he will turn you into loam... Those Keep Lore elves sure do make a good cookie though and the gnomes couldn't have asked for tastier spoils of war. And like Mama-Gnome always said, that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Spoiler: Hints

Gnomes are magical creatures and some have even developed the ability to teleport!

The Abandoned Mine
By: Potatus

Prologue: There where once a mine, a mine filled with precious stones. Many job opportunities opened. You where one of the many workers...
One day kobolds and roaches came to the mine. The workers did their best to repel the attack... They...YOU where outnumbered...
Seeing that you where clearly no match for them you fled... Soon afterward two of your co-workers caught up to you...
You and your friends went to the Elder Mind house and asked him for help...
The only price you and your friends had to pay was to become his servants.
You then followed him and his other servants to the once lustrous mine.

PS: Go in option and turn on the "pause new cards only" option.



Epilogue: After many years working for The Elder Mind you've finally collected enough money to rebuild the mine...
When you went to the newly renovated mine you saw a shiny object in front of you, upon closer inspection it was a chest...
Now you are opening the chest.

A 4-part Adventure
By SpaceDoubt

Part 1: "Witch's Hovel"

Prologue:
"The Guardians of The Forest have reported an overwhelming number of undead wandering in from from the south. I suspect someone is practicing the dark and highly ILLEGAL PRACTICE OF NECROMANCY AND I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT!!!"

The king slams his fists on the table in rage.

"..Ahem.. Excuse me. Where was I? ..Ah, yes. I need you three to venture into the forest. Locate and DESTROY the source of this disturbance. Check Withering Falls, Lundmeer's Nook, and that godforsaken Witch's Hovel... Move quick! Be discreet! Best not be seen lest we cause panic!"

Your party disappears into the shade of the southern forest.



Epilogue:
As the circle is broken, a massive puff of thick, black smoke explodes from the ground engulfing the witch and then the entire party. The smoke clears and your party begins to feel a bit strange. The witch is nowhere in sight. Before you go after her, you decide to ransack her place in search of TREASURE!!


Part 2: "Cellar of Disciples"

Prologue:
Still a bit woozy from whatever was in that smoke, your party has now eaten all of the leftovers from the witch's icebox and Ming won't shut up about how huge his hands are. Suddenly, Lothar begins sniffing as if, perhaps, he smells something. He jumps up and begins frantically searching for the source of the smell. He sniffs up high. He sniffs down low. Finally, Lothar runs out the back door to the side of the hovel. Ming takes notice and quickly flies out to join him. He rounds the corner to see Lothar straightening his tail and pointing his nose at the cellar door--Wait. What?!



Epilogue:
Okay, so she turned you into animals and unleashed her cult on you. Not good.
But look on the bright side... TREASURE!!


Part 3: "The Rift"

Prologue:
So your party; Dog, Bug, Plant Thing; travels deeper still, because, well, what else are you gonna do?

"Shh! Shutup!"

Wait. Who, me?

"SHHH! SHUT UP!"

You can't shush the narrat--

"Shutup! There she is...THE WITCH!!"

The witch holds up her hand, as if to offer a treaty.

"Please, listen... I am not a witch. My name is Andengal. I am a seer. I sometimes have visions. Visions of what may come. Here in this ancient dwarven temple, there has been a tear."

"ARF! ARF! RRUUFFFF?!" Lothar asks.

"A tear in reality," Andengal replies, "Your king, the one who sent you after me, did he not? Your king wishes to exploit this tear for his own selfish gain. For profit! I was amassing an undead army to protect this tear--this rift--from evil men such as he. But then you guys came and now--
Anyway. Sorry I had to turn you into animals..."

She casts a spell, returning you to your original forms.

"..and I hope my disciples didn't give you too much trouble."


So... Shall we?



Epilogue:
Andengal disappears into the portal and in a flash of white light so intense it knocks all but Lothar off their feet, the rift closes, leaving your party to be all like... "Whaaat?!"

...

Suddenly, the portal rips back open, but only partially. A hand reaches through the opening and tosses some treasure onto the ground. A fading voice shouts "Thanks again, guys!" as the portal slams out of existence.


Part 4: "My Father, My King"

Prologue:
Andengal tunnels through an infinitude of dimensions; her truest form revealed.
Her father, formless at first, greets her warmly but silently.

"Father," cries Andengal, "You have not been a good king. You have not used your power well."

Her father, The King, replies,

"I know."


Slowly, the chaos is made concrete by your mind and the final battle ensues.



Epilogue:
As he fades from existence, the king has one last message for his daughter:

"Andengal, you must know this before I'm gone. It's about Lothar... He's your brother. Lothar is the true and rightful heir to my throne... and Ande..."

"Yes, father?"

"..I'm proud of you."


With a tear in her eye, Andengal travels through time and space to return with the news of how she pretty much saved the whole kingdom single-handedly.

Nobody cares though, because they're too busy opening their TREASURE!!

 

Dragon Differences
By: Potatus
Prologue:
At a "casual" dragon meeting.
Mr.Blizkenrriper:Attack of the artifact is the best expansion, just look at those adventurers trying again and again to complete the Black Plume Mountain 1 HP quest... "Insert Evil laughter" ... The basic modules are so easy to beat no challenge at all.
Mr.Greenfang :Attack of the artifact ruined Cardhuntria reputation by introducing items like Blue Destruction, Staff Of A Millions Embers and the worst of them all "Insert Dramatic Music": Searing Pain....
Mr.Blizkenrriper: "Cough" "cough" Skull Of Savage Iljin "cough" "cough" plus the basic adventures last battle was lame.
Mr.Xanthicius: Me lame???? Insolent AotA fool! To arms!



Epilogue:
Mr.Blizkenrriper: Well now that I'm the only dragon left might as well take all the treasures.

1000 years later Mr.Blizkenrriper became a associate with a certain company called: Acquisition Inc. ......

 

Ghostly Getaway

Pre-Battle Text
The legendary Three Kings of Ancient Cardhuntria have just woken up - after a millennium of lying mummified in a coffin. But there's no time for them to ponder their predicament, for their former slaves and servants have also awoken, and they want revenge! The Kings must make a quick escape up the staircase and out of the pyramid... but when you've been dead for a few thousand years, it's hard to move at all, let alone run!

Post-Battle Text
The Kings stumble out of their pyramid, the groans and cries of their long-dead servants chasing them away. But as soon as they step into the sunlight, their bone-dry robes catch on fire, and all three of them promptly burn to cinders. After fighting through hordes of undead, to be bested by a bit of light... how un-phar-aoh!

Teamwork

Pre-Battle Text
Kiki the Psi-Cat is enjoying her morning bathe in the stream. No adventurers ever explore this dungeon, so she has set up home here, and although it can be cold and damp, it's safe. Suddenly, the ceiling cracks, and two troll warriors fall with a crash into the room! Another troll charges down the staircase in front of Kiki and starts bellowing commands - it must be the leader. Summoning her cockroach friends with a sonorous 'meow!', Kiki prepares her psychic powers. She'll need all the help she can get to defeat these intruders before they achieve whatever they came here for!

Post-Battle Text
The troll crumples and disintegrates in a flurry of psychic energy, leaving only a few assorted weapons smoking on the floor. Kiki returns to her bathing - she needs to relax after straining her powers like that! One thing's for sure; nothing will ever separate her from her home.

Customised

Pre-Battle Text
A new module has arrived in the post featuring skeletons and zombies, but Gary, Melvin and Karen find it too boring. They decide to customise it by including some extra 'terrain', reusing some old figures and letting you play as a group of Armoured Skeletons.
'Battle Tvericus for the Cardstock ticket! Be careful of the zombies and marksmen, too!', Gary says with a grin. This should be interesting.

Post-Battle Text
With the Cardstock ticket won, the group lets out a cheer. You all celebrate by sharing a pizza and rewarding yourself with some extra items.

Dual Duel

Pre-Battle Text
In the realm of Cyberspace, duels between supercomputers are enacted by controlling a pair of mutants in separate arenas. This is one such battle, but your opponent has cloned both of their mutants just before you start fighting. How unfair! Can you still emerge victorious?

Post-Battle Text
You finally defeat the last of your opponent's mutants and let out a cybernetic roar of delight. You truly are the greatest supercomputer ever to be built! Laughing in the virtual face of your fallen foe, you claim your prize of powerful technology.

From y0uthpast0r
Pre-Battle text:
I, Xanthicus, have discovered what I have long sought in the cold dark depths of soul contemplation. I have found how to continue the race of wyrms. As I contemplated the problem of infecundity, my eye turned inward: to scale and bone, sinew and synapse, cell and strand. Through consciousness of my being I have learned how to change genders. I enfolded Greenfang into my plan and our desires for a dragon age were one. Our clutch is nearly ready to hatch. There is only one who can stand in our way to a new world in Cardhuntria, the White Wyrm. Behold, he comes spewing out his cold scorn for our "aberration," our hope. He thinks our shame must die in the depths, but it is he and his henchmen who shall die.
Post-Battle text:
I, Xanthicus, declare this year "one" of the new dragon age, the beginning of our ascendancy. After we raise this hatch we will nest in the halls of the White Wyrm. His treasure horde is now ours and our seeds' even as all of Cardhuntria and its treasure shall be ours.


edit: facing fixed

 

Edit: I forgot to check the AI box in this one.

Intro to Scenario: The Troll King was walking alone on a stroll one day, when he saw a small home protected by the 2 Dragons Greenfang and Blitzkenripper. He walked up and asked them what they were guarding, and they responded "Who are you?" The Troll King, infuriated, stormed off and came back with a group of trolls. "You shall die for insulting the Troll King!" Said one of the trolls, right before charging...

After Scenario: With the dragons dead, the Troll King opened the door to the house, and saw another door. He tried to go inside, but he was too big and instructed another troll to do so. The troll opened the door and said "It's just a wall! The dragons were guarding a wall!"

Sprite Strife

Pre-Battle Text
With a deafening 'pop!' and a hiss of arcane magic, you complete the long-range teleportation ritual to Lord Stafford's treasure vault and find yourself standing in a damp, musty dungeon. This must be one of the antechambers - once you find the vault, the Illoth will be the richest sect in the whole of Cardhuntria! Your thoughts are interrupted by the appearance of an Acid Sprite from the corner of the room, probably a low-level guard - you'd better kill it before it gets away and tells anyone you're here! Casting a cave-in to block the door behind it and summoning a curse idol to help, you ready your magic in preparation.

Post-Battle Text
Oh no! It appears the sprite used your own powerful anti-magic blocks against you in order to escape - oh well, maybe next time you'll get the treasure. Sprinkling some magical powder on the ground and uttering a few rites, you teleport away and back into your temple. Outsmarted by a mere Acid Sprite... maybe your brainpower isn't all it used to be...

Spoiler: How to Win

Use telekinesis on the Elder Mind when it has either a Reflecting Block or Reflect Missile and when you're next to the cave-in, so you can telekinesis yourself over to the victory terrain.

Garden Aggression

Pre-Battle Text
While staying at her holiday home in Rookwood forest, Sylvia the Sorceress is woken in the middle of the night by a terrible groaning coming from the forest outside her garden. Oh no... it appears the trees are growing restless again - they obviously don't like the fact that her cabin is made mostly of wood. Stepping out onto the balcony, she quickly brings to life a few of her garden gnomes using her magical powers before retreating to hide in the basement. Hopefully they'll be able to defend her house and defeat enough of the attackers to pacify them for now.

Post-Battle Text
With the trees and spiders expelled from her property, Sylvia returns to the balcony to ponder over the remains of her assailants. Hmm... those garden gnomes sure did put up a good fight. Perhaps if she were to create more of them - a whole army, perhaps...

Irate Interview

"I'm sorry, Mr Igneous, but you just don't have the skills required for Sales Executive in my company. Although you're certainly headstrong and persuasive, I'm afraid that our customers would find you too frightening... erm, what are you doing? Mr Igneous, please sit down again. Mr Igneous! Are you threatening me? Guards! Guards! Somebody, please! Help! Aaargh!"

Post-Battle Text
"Phew... thank you, Cardob. I'll make sure you get a raise for that excellent performance. My, my... I knew it! All boulders are the same - you tell them something they don't want to hear, and they start trying to flatten you! Cancel my three o'clock appointment, Cardob, I need to sit down for a while after that..."

Title: Culinary Contest!

Screenshot:


Name of Account: Maniafig

Pre-battle flavour text:

The finals of the hundredth annual cooking competition - Cardhuntrian Culinary Contest C - are here!

In the south corner, representing the Gastronomers Guild, it's Chef Ramses! A seasoned chef, with even more seasoned food, some say a bite of his food is as a bite of the divine ambrosia of the gods! Others claim his food prefers to bite than to be bitten! Regardless, it's a sight to see and to taste!

In the north corner, representing Lord Cadford & Co. Catering, it's the Garcotto Quintuplets! What they lack in proper hygiene and adherence to kitchen maintenance protocol they more than make up for in hotheaded brawn and numbers! What scheme have these crooked cooks cooked up this time?!

Why, it seems one of the Garcotto Quintuplets has issued a challenge and stepped past the cordoned area, a clear violation of the rules!

Post-battle flavour text:

Culinary Contest? More like Culinary Conquest! The quality of properly prepared food will always win out over a quantity of chops and lunges! Certainly the demonic seasonings had nothing to do with it.

And to the victor go the spoils! The sweet taste of victory, a chance to prepare some Garcotto Filet au Mignon and a chest bearing this year's first prize!

Pre-Battle text: Every weekend they bring food to your front porch. They lay out a blanket, pop some casks of bubbly, sing a happy song, and cut the cake. Then you march in to clean up the mess, slurp up the spills, eat the leftover food. Something's different though. Your spidey-sense is tingling and it tells you that this time, the leftovers might like to eat you.
Post Battle text: Food that you have to fight for somehow tastes more satisfying than when it just sat there and let you eat it.
