THE BAD GUYS

EMPEROR CHOMPUS

The Dark Emperor of Rhythmos, LORD CHOMPUS rules the lands with a literal iron

claw – and a proverbial �n ear.

Though he’s a Dragon, Chompus has lost the ability to breathe fire. He’s extremely
insecure about this fact and it is one reason that he’s COMPLETELY OBSESSED WITH
FINDING THE MYSTIC SCORES. He believes there’s a Mys�c Score out there that will

restore his powers – “light his fire,” as it were. He is also a wizard with some degree
of mastery over magic; and if he can collect the Mys�c Scores, he believes that they
will make him ALL POWERFUL. Thus, Chompus wants ALL THE MYSTIC SCORES FOR

HIMSELF.

Chompus controls fleets of ROBOT DROIDS that are equipped with TUNING
FORK-like ANTENNAE. On permanent patrol, they roam the countryside a�emp�ng
to detect any musical gatherings – which they “silence” by confisca�ng instruments

and otherwise fining and/or jailing the na�ve scofflaws whom they might catch play-
ing music.

The regal Chompus generally keeps behind the scenes, commanding missions from
his dark throne – though he will from �me to �me become directly involved in an

adventure by spreading his MIGHTY WINGS and taking to the skies.

THE BEAT BANDITS

Freelance Pirates for hire– and the main ongoing compe��on to our Rhythm War-

riors. The BeatBandits are comprised of a Troll (Badbeard), non-iden�cal twin Ogres
(Scab & Wart), and a cyborg Parrot (Cacaw). They work for pay though they will also
work for cheese. This motley crew flies around Rhythmos in their airship, THE IRON
ZEPPELIN. The ship’s powerful name belies its appearance, since it’s as dilapidated as
a flying rust bucket and as smelly as a garbage scow and prone to constant mechani-

cal breakdowns.
