+[[:Jules]] is a player character [[:Elf|Wood Elf]] ranger. She was born on another continent in the city of [[:Havenspass]] and notably has two moms. A Wood Elf birth mom by the name of [[:Nix]], and a Tiefling step mom by the name of [[:Kess]].
 ====Uncle Lugo====
-[[:Wyrd Uncle Lugo]] is a demon far back in the bloodline of Jule's step mom. Tieflings basically trace their ancestry to some infernal bloodline, and this is his connection. He hasn't been known to appear to anyone in his Tiefling bloodline for many generations, but suddenly he appears and introduces himself to Jules, who is only even in his family by default of a second marriage since she's an elf type and not a tiefling. Jules finds her life has the oddity of Lugo appearing whenever he sees fit and doesn't really know why he's chosen now to appear or even why he'd appear to her.

 ====The Painting====

   * IF Lugo won the bet then Skip would forfeit all rights and bonds to Lugo and related services.
-The actual bet, as both of these guys are very familiar with Jules, is to see if she can re/create The Painting (noted above) of herself, in Ancient Crompse, with 4 smiling bandits, while wearing noble clothes. As the painting already exists in the future and Jules has it, it is a known ancient item. A very improbable one. Lugo bet on her creating the painting in the first place.

 ====Party To The Past====
-Lugo returns to Goldvale chronologically a day after him and Skip vanished off to Ancient Crompse. The Party is wandering about enjoying a generic game session getting caught up on random quests, and Lugo tells someone he knows they will speak with that he's going to be over in the [[:Rusty Cave]]. A very changed Skip is present in the future, wandering around apologizing to those he's wronged, but there's no interaction between him & Lugo for the moment in the present. Lugo goes to the Rusty Cave knowing Jules will lead The Party there out of curiosity about all things Wyrd Uncle Lugo related. Sure enough she does. Lugo informs the party that he's made a bet with Skip and that he can't give them any details per the terms of the bet, but that they can "paint their own picture" of what's going on for themselves. He transports them directly into the past of Ancient Crompse.

 ====Ancient Crompse====
@@ Line 44: / Line 44: @@
 The Party doesn't know where they are at first, or even that there's been a time change. It certainly isn't their familiar Goldvale. It isn't even the same time of year since it is snowing outside as they arrive unceremoniously in a horse stable and there was no cold weather for them moments before standing in the Rusty Cave.
-In quick time they find themselves immersed in an ancient town dominated by the minions of a Bandit Queen, start spotting some of the bandits that are shown with Jules in the painting, and realize they are in the past. This is further made official by encountering both Skip & Lugo at the Gin Giant Tavern. Skip isn't portrayed as the guy who's trying to make apologies and amends though, he's pointedly cranky and hostile about everyone. Lugo can't give any hints about the bet at this time either. So the party starts exploring Ancient Crompse, trying to find the people in the painting and some noble clothes for Jules, as well as a painting to execute the thing. Armed with paranoia about changing history accidentally, and needing certain bandits alive, they navigate many situations to try to round them all up.

 ====Lugo Ruins Skip's Life====
-Lugo keeps Skip liquored up and getting him into all sorts of shenanigans with the loose wenches of the Gin Giant Tavern. Bandit towns are great for that. Skip, the Dark Elf, drunkenly has sex with a Wood Elf. Lugo set that up.
+Lugo keeps Skip liquored up and getting him into all sorts of shenanigans with the loose wenches of the Gin Giant Tavern. Bandit towns are great for that. Skip, the Dark Elf, drunkenly has sex with a Wood Elf who's name he wouldn't even catch, but it was "[[Ancient Crompse|Mynt]]". Lugo set that up.
 Skip has spent much time in his recent life (in the present, not the past) fretting over Ema, fertility, and becoming the drunkard since it all seems out of his grasp to fix. He's blamed just about anyone for his woes. Lugo, frustrated that he's been bound to Skip, gets Skip really drunk and a little high on some euphoric stew served at the Gin Giant Tavern. He convinces Skip to go see the local fortune teller who happens to be a Hag. Maybe she can shed some light on what it'll take for him to have a child with Ema in the future? A drunk Skip naturally manages to make the hag mad while they're there, and she curses him that after his first child, he shall never have another.
-The catch? Skip has already unknowingly knocked up the Wood Elf from the tavern. Chronologically this happens before Ema even exists. So the curse has been the actual reason he could never breed with Ema! Therefor with all the blame out there, it was Lugo who actually set in motion that which ruined Skip's life. DO NOT FUCK WITH A DEMON!

+Lugo over the years in setting this all up took some actions, which included:
   - Eventually guiding his own tiefling descendant into the love life of Jule's mother.
-  - Guiding the offspring of Skip's drunken hookup toward being in the blood line of Jules. It was determined that Jules is 1% Dark Elf (via Skip's DNA) and real world science would declare that it would take 6 to 8 generations for that to happen as the DNA was watered down. Given an elvish lifespan averages 800 years and a variable of 6 to 8 generations was in play, this is how we reverse engineer the time frame of Ancient Crompse. More amusingly it means Skip & Jules are related.
