Will Work For Copper: Celebrants of the Dragon Emperor

Celebrants of the Dragon Emperor

Will Work For Copper is a comedic d6-based RPG I'm writing where the player characters are apprentice wizards, random people, petty thieves, and generally incompetent. Lucky for them, so are the enemies: the endless Kobold hordes of the Dragon Emperor.

The Celebrants are the Dragon Emperor's lieutenants, and each leads an army of kobolds. Each of them hates the rest. They will never cooperate without the Dragon Emperor's forceful interference.

The air dragon Perfected-Wind is overly dramatic and theatrical. She thinks even the lightest wound could kill her, and reacts accordingly. Her kobolds are very quick-thinking: a necessary trait to quickly convince Perfected-Wind of her continued health.

Scattered-Lights

Scattered-Lights is not a dragon. His predecessor, Tattered-Sky, died under mysterious circumstances. A few days later, Scattered-Lights took control of Tattered-Sky's soldiers and equipment. The issue with this is that Scattered-Lights is actually a paper puppet with 5 kobolds in it. The five kobolds switch around leadership every week, making Scattered-Lights seem confused and strange when it comes to strategy.

Scattered-Lights' kobolds know their leader is a puppet, and have gotten used to the strange, conflicting orders by only listening to the largest swathes and concepts, making it easier to change plans at a moment's notice.

Bloodied-Tide

Bloodied-Tide is a water dragon, and also a zombie. He still has authority, for some reason, although he mostly uses that to wander around moaning "BRAINSSSS" at people. His kobolds have a rather higher ratio of necromancers than most: they spend their time studying Bloodied-Tide, in the hope of learning how he was returned to life.

Bloodied-Tide's army is led by a kobold wizard named Watches-Sunlight. However, Watches-Sunlight is just as incompetent as any other kobold. While she thinks her leadership is a secret, it's common knowledge.

Sundered-Mountain

The earth dragon Sundered-Mountain is the youngest of the Celebrants, and thinks she's much smarter than he actually is. Her kobolds spend most of their time building overcomplicated Rube Goldberg devices, for use as traps. Sundered-Mountain rarely leaves her lair, where she constantly improves her defenses.
