The Mencheck Household

**The Mencheck Household** is 3 people, 2 children named **Glint** and **Mike**, and their father **Barlog**. The three of them live in a house on the outskirts of town, and have a miniature paintball arena in their backyard.

Glint and Mike Mencheck are brothers of 10 years old. Glint is essentially mute, and his brother speaks for him most of the time. Both of them are avid paintball fighters, as a result of weapons built by their father.

The two of them own a pet sabre-tooth tiger that they refer to as a 'big kitty' when asked, whose name was revealed to be **Buick**. Buick has large orange lightning bolts on either side of its body. It is the team mascot of their team, the Firebrand Sabres.

## Quests

### Paintball O'Rama

During Quest *Paintball O'Rama*, the party was introduced to the two children. Both of them bemoaned their main rival, a rich half-elf kid who went by **Seven** (real name **Ulysses Visor**). He lead the team known as the Ysop Pillagers, and spends money on actual adults to join his team to ensure they win. After rescuing Buick from a very large tree, the party recieved paintball guns and entered into a competition against the Ysop Pillagers which they handily won, winning the trust of Buick and the admiration of the brothers.

### Colour Splash

During Quest *Colour Splash*, the party was enlisted by the brother to help find Buick, who had gone missing while hunting something on his own. The party, after dispatching of Ulysses for a second time, found Buick fighting off displacer beasts remincisent of the ones found outside Kent during Quest *Doom and Gloom*. After helping Buick, Mucktooth cast speak with animals on Buick, learning that it was a construct created by Barlog, and was designed to protect the children from harm. When returned, Barlog gave Mike bladed boomerangs to give to the party (but no one has seen Barlog yet).

### RP Event 1

During the *Tsunami RP Event*, Barlog told Mike, Glint and Buick to stay in town while he took care of the home.

### Willard's Very Secret Mission (and Dinosaurs)

During Quest *Willard's Very Secret Mission (and dinosaurs)*, Quest *Restart* and Quest *Play It Again, San*, the party went to the Cave of Dinosaurs/Crystals/Snakes, and battled their way through monsters, traps and a puzzle to collect a gem/gems. Eventually, several people on the quest realised that not only were they in the exact same place, but that all of them had been created by Barlog, a demigod of machines and animals.

### RP Event 2

During an RP event, Bel confronted Barlog, and he eventually admitted that he and the demigod were one and the same. He confessed that no one could die in those caves, and that he is locked in a struggle against another demigod, who goes by **Blu, the Shadow Man**.

### Waypoint or Bust!

During Quest *Waypoint or Bust!*, Barlog assisted the party fighting off shadow creatures as they returned from Kent.

### So Listen Up, Here's a Story..

During Quest *So Listen Up, Here's a Story...,* the party battled and defeated Sicoe, who claimed to be an acolyte of Blu. Additionally, Buick warned the party of the increased number of shadow creatures stalking through the wilds.

### Hydra Havoc

During Quest *Hydra Havoc*, Retribution assisted Buick in improving his form. He is now a huge size creature. Retribution also encountered Blu, who sent a Hydra after the two of them.

### You Just Had To Break In, Didn't You?

During Quest *You Just Had To Break In, Didn't You?*, the party, while delivering a parcel to a Ben Lumos, accidentally realised they had encountered Blu, and barely escaped after North attempted to break into Blu's house.

### And Paint Was The Video Game

During Quest *And Paint Was The Video Game*, the party joined Mike, Glint and later Barlog as Ulysses demanded a rematch after his humiliation during *Paintball O'Rama.* Despite heinous amounts of cheating by Ulysses (complimented by cheating from an invisible Barlog after he saw the enemy team bring a paint ballista into the battle), he still lost.

As reparations for cheating during Quest *And Paint Was The Video Game,* Ulysses offered to apologise on a hilltop nearby the town (Quest *An Old Friend*). However, he ambushed the party with a monster before bolting away, forcing the party to evacuate away. When the party returned the uninjured Mike and Glint to Barlog, Barlog was extremely angry at Ulysses, but thanked the adventurers anyway.

### RP Event 3

In a minor RP event, Barlog dragged Ulysses into town, and forced him to apologise to the adventurers.

### Urdaur

During Quest *Urdaur,* the party battled and defeated Urdaur, another figure who claimed to be an acolyte of Blu.

### Random Encounter Bingo

During Quest *Random Encounter Bingo*, Barlog revealled that (unbeknownst to him) Ulysses family runs a magic animal nursery. 3 years ago, the family was asked to take care of a group of magic animals by a figure who went only by the last name of Mr Lumos until they were of age. One of them was a massive winged eye monster that had gotten free a few nights prior. And now the rest of them have escaped their compounds. The party freed the animals and defeated the flying winged creatures at the nursery, only to return and find the Mencheck household in ruins. Barlog informs the group that Blu had used the event as a diversion to attack him directly, and that it's no longer safe for Glint, Mike and Buick to live there.

#### RP Event 1

Buick directed Mike, Glint and Buick to stay in the order house.

**Epilogue:**

Deciding it too risky to stay in Waypoint with Blu on their tail, Barlog took Buick, Mike and Glint and evacuated them from the room. This works into their favour: While they are reminded of Barlog by members of the new town, Blu is left forgotten and abandoned, and Barlog wins their final victory.
