Information

Auld Lang Syne

The True nature of the mysterious entity called Father Time is unknown. Is he an ancient god? An extra-dimensional being? A stage in the life-cycle of a chrono-entity? A personification of time manifested out of the collective human sub-conciousness? No one knows for certain, and it will likely remain a subject of debate long into the future.

Badge Mission

Rescue Baby New Year from Snaptooth!

Briefing

I am Old Father Time, and as this year comes to a close, I must pass my mantle onto the Baby New Year, so that time may continue to flow. But that scoundrel, the Red Cap Snaptooth, has kidnapped the Baby New Year, and plans to take him to the Fey lands! If that happens, time will grind to a halt. Heroic hopes and villainous plans, all will come to naught! So, I ask the mightiest of mortals, whether they be hero or villain, to help me and rescue Baby New Year!

What's more, heroes and villains may work together on this mission, such is its grave import!

Mission Acceptance

You will have to fight your way through a cold and wintry realm. Snaptooth has gathered Tuatha, the Winter Horde, and other Red-caps to him. You will have to defeat the Winter Guard in order to open the icy caverns where Baby New Year is being held. Once you have him, bring him back to the fairy ring to make your escape.

And do not forget that heroes and villains may work together in this task!

Unnecessary Solicitation

Baby New Year is still a captive of Snaptooth! Perhaps you should find some more allies?

We've gone and done the greatest crime, We've captured little Baby Time! We'll hold him 'till he's old and ill, To keep the world in winter's chill! So shiver, witches, in the cold, And pumpkin-heads will rot with mold! The human world will freeze and slow, And people will be filled with woe! For human time will be like Fey, Unchanging! Always time to play!, They'll know that this was Snaptooth's plan, We'll terrorize the world of man! We've gone and done the greatest crime, We've captured little Baby Time!
