Monster/Eldritch Abomination/Fiend all in one: Takofanes, the Archlich! (Conquerors, Killers, and Crooks)

Released into a world where the power of magic is at an extremely low ebb, the dreaded Archlich is weakened but still sufficiently powerful for the conquest of this steam and black powder world. Unless, that is, a selfless group of heroes band together to stop him.

I need to make my pick and I am going with Frankenstein's Helios from Dean Koontz's Frankenstein. Essentially a company that employs and manufactures supersoldiers out of body parts.

 

I'll go through the thread and update the rosters and then set up a poll by monday. That should give everyone who hasn't picked all their choices time to get it done.

Time to kick the chaos up a notch.

Option 2: Need another witch, not necessarily affiliated with the first witch, Constance Clootie (The Stone Witch from TV show Wynonna Earp)

Option 3: To make absolutely certain it's nigh on to impossible to figure what's goin' on, Pecos Bill drives Babe the Blue Ox to the Kansas City Stockyards.

Theme music by ZZ Top (from Back To The Future III).

Okay, here's the rough of my story:

 

Jo took in Liz.  They enjoyed living off by themselves, but were attacked by the Ben Wade gang, who rode off with Liz.  Jo avoids exposing herself too much to the town, lest her secret get out. For this though, she needed help. She put together the others (including El Topo) as a posse.  They track the gang to a remote Pueblo settlement, but cannot find the gang.

 

Sam confides in his son (Emmett) that there are signs of witchcraft in the town, and that something very wrong is going on.  The others don't need his experience with the supernatural to notice there are no adults in town. They do notice a wagon train of pioneers had come somewhat recently; their wagons are still around and the white children intermingle the native.  

 

Emmett finds Liz, being hid in the town. She's frightened, but unhurt. The other children repeat that Liz and Emmett have nothing to fear. Emmett finds their specificity disturbing.  The posse, meanwhile, find Kane's journal in the wagons.

 

Eventually we realize that Kane did  . . . terrible things to raise He Who Walks Behind the Rows.  Things that required his own death. He's a ghost now, forcing the remaining children to take turns being possessed by him.  He uses them to tend to the demon in the corn, hoping to learn how to take the demons power for his own.

 

John Brooder finds the Ben Wade Gang's remains, and manages to alert the posse that as notorious as the gang was, it was no match for the children. John is killed in the act.  Liz and Emmet escape, being forced to perpetuate the cycle of teen pregnancy the demon demanded, Emmett carrying Kane's remains (to someone who can put Kane to rest permanently). The rest of the Posse dies destroying the corn.
