Game Premise

Every year the Gods have a picnic to relax, put aside their differences, and meet up with old friends. Seeing as how so many of the Gods also have children, this day is also the busiest day of the year for the God's babysitter. Now the babysitter is a very watchful God, but sometimes can be overwhelmed by the sheer power and number of some of these godly toddlers. As the God's Picnic gets into full swing a few of these babies have crawled away and wandered into the human realm. OH NO!

Back on Earth, a small human village has just witnessed a falling star over the nearby swamp. A hunter returning from the swamp spotted a glowing infant and altar in a forested clearing and hurried to tell the village elders.

Across the swamp in the kobold tribal camp, returning kobold scouts saw the same falling star. The kobold king ordered his tribe to retrieve this sign from the heavens and so sent a group of kobolds and some of the tribe's allies to investigate. Perhaps something tasty awaited them. When the scouts returned with news that it was a glowing child that had fallen from the sky the kobold king was not pleased with the news.

After much deliberation, the leaders of both camps decided that the best thing to do is move this bad omen far away from their villages as quickly as possible to avoid the fickle wrath of the gods. A group of volunteers in each camp assembled to head into the swamp.
