**Ominous Bane** began as a prank group of Sherbert, Centross, and Easton. They would perform harmless pranks such as filling bases with chickens. However, it quickly became a violent group that the various other members of the server would have to work together to contain, naming themselves Auspicious Boon (the opposite of Ominous Bane).

## History

### Journey to the End

When the server members travelled to the End, Sherbert, Centross, and Easton were the ones to step up and trade places with Ghosty and Athena respectively. They spent a brief time in the End prison before Rae made a deal with Enderian to release them.

### Free from Prison

Once back in the Overworld, Ominous Bane began to feel different. Their pranks became more harmful, moving to releasing everyone's animals and burning parts of Momboo's tree. After Athena expressed hesitation about being around Rae after witnessing him remove his eye, Sherbert invited them to join Ominous Bane.

### We Don't Feel Right

Enderian's influence strengthened when Centross was summoned back to the End and lead to the Temple of the Mind. She spoke directly to Centross, offering him power if he would kill his favorite pet, The Chad. Hoping to please her another way, Centross sacrificed all his other animals until eventually doing as she asked and killing the chicken. Enderian rewarded him with a chest filled with supplies, including three pairs of Elytra, stacks of TNT, Dragons breath, and even a dragon egg. After accepting the deal, Centross' skin became significantly purple.

Concerned over their increasingly violent behavior, Rae and Jamie look around Centross' base and find the gifts. The group steals them, leading to Centross, Sherbert, and Athena paying Rae a visit. To try and make him give back the supplies, Ominous Bane blow up his lab. He refuses to hand them over until Sherbert and Centross threaten Athena's life.

Ominous Bane begins burning down and blowing up more structures around the server. Floating islands of Endstone appear and Ominous Bane, primarily Sherbert, uses them as perches to spy on the other members of the server. While out on a mission to the desert tower, which they convert to a secondary base, a message from Enderian is stolen by Rae. Athena takes the brunt of their anger via verbal manipulation and abuse.

### Growing More Violent

Momboo is intentionally kept in the dark. Easton and Sherbert harass Jamie and gaslight Momboo into believing that Rae is the dangerous one. This results in Momboo locking Jamie in their bunker, thinking it is for their protection.

Seven returns to the server after a long period of charging and Sherbert discovers the robot's ability to instant kill mobs around them. They induct Seven into Ominous Bane, giving them tasks to aid in their goals, such as to collect gunpowder for TNT and to keep an eye on Athena. Seven witnesses Athena sneaking out to visit Jamie.

More structures are destroyed, including Rae's entire house. Haley's home is also blown up as a threat after Haley witnesses Ominous Bane rigging Momboo's tree with TNT.

Eventually, Sherbert finds Seven's report about Athena's recent outing and Athena makes a run for it as Centross and Sherbert threaten grievous harm for disobeying. While fleeing, Rae and Jamie spot the group and interfere to help Athena escape. While searching for the lab trio group, Sherbert and Centross spot Haley on her way to find Rae. They capture Haley and bring her back to the base, where they lock her into a holding cell.

### The Breakdown of Ominous Bane

Rifts start forming between the members of Ominous Bane, primarily Sherbert and Centross. Sherbert becomes increasingly desperate to prove themself. Sherbert receives a message and small gifts from Enderian, including Mind Weakness potions and high damage arrows labeled "Apherin's Will" in Ender. Eventually, Sherbert releases Haley, convincing her that it's no longer worth keeping her imprisoned. Haley runs to the remains of her destroyed house only to be shot down and killed. Unknown to Sherbert, Momboo witnesses the event and flees to Ghosty and Auspicious Boon.

Tensions continue to rise between the two factions. Sherbert destroys Will's base. Athena shows Rae the location of the tower base and a battle breaks out where Auspicious Boon ambushes Ominous Bane. The tides quickly turn as Easton hits a several members of Auspicious Boon with the Mind Weakness potion, allowing Ghosty and Jamie be temporarily controlled by Enderian. The fight ends when Auspicious Boon calls for retreat and a Wither is spawned to distract Ominous Bane and give them enough time to flee.

Centross blew up the cemetery outside of the stronghold, including both Haley and his parent's graves. Easton cornered Jamie in their bunker and tried to use the Mind Weakness potion again but it didn't work. Seven began to question the actions of the group. Several interactions with Will lead them to realize that Ominous Bane's actions and hurting people and he agrees to help Auspicious Boon.

Sherbert prepares to detonate the TNT rigged tree. They are interrupted by Seven reporting that they have found Athena's location. It works to draw Sherbert into the trap prepared by Auspicious Boon to lock them in Jamie's bunker cell.

### History Repeats

In the second season of Fable SMP, Sherbert and Easton went on an outing and killed a wither together. After, they decided to talk and form a prank gang again, wondering who else should join the gang. Once they both got their memories back, the idea wasn't sought out anymore and hasn't come up sense.
