In the bronze age a struggling people have turned to the few powerful individuals to keep peace and order. The Protectors are these men. They are judge ,jury and executioners.Think Judge Dread In the ancient past.

We are going to go very old school w this one meaning, Cleric fighter and Wizard only but also human only, there will be no demihumans at all,. May do this as either a single monster or perhaps a 10 monster world.?Still might make this human only: Period

Your gang of PCS are minding there own biz and getting some well needed rest in the swamp after a long days journey. Just as they are falling asleep, a blood freezing call goes out from the brush. AH! AH! E E TOOKY TOOKY!. They have run afoul of the legendary pest. The bird is 1+1 HD AC2 and screams at you until you kill it. Very smart for a bird the Tooky bird will lead the group in a chase as it continues to scream and scream. After a chase that seems to last for an eternity, the red,green and blue bird is killed. Did I mention they always are mated pairs?(I just ADORE this encounter)
Plot hooks
Your next door neighbor gets a Tooky Bird. Infiltrate and Eliminate w Extreme Prejudice
A powerful wizard will only help you if you get him a Tooky Bird, the trip home will be a nightmare
A pet Tooky escapes it's owner in a big city A) rescue it for a reward B) kill it for a reward from the Guards

The Protectors are identified by a magic bronze short sword that they all must carry. It is their weopan and their badge of authority. as bronze is a -1/-1 material these are enchanted to +2, so the net is they are +1

Infantry from the future gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=4591These are the primary forces of the future foes. they are fairly cowardly and only zero level. Their edge is from their tech. They have steel weapons and armor, effectively all of it is +2. It is lucky that they are so craven |

Shaman from the Past Gercnk gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=2495Dinos, sabertoothed Tigers, velocoraptors and Pteradactl are some of his many minions. he is espeially fond of veleceraptors. This is the military of the Past, there is no negotiating w this fearsome foe as well as a language barrier.This remorseless cleric has a soft spot for noncombatants. |

The Big Picture
So the idea is for the Protectors to stand between the 2 time travelling factions in an attempt to control the situation. You might want to consider starting the PCs at 3L or maybe 5L and jump into the main conflict after only a game or two of "Judge Dread" stuff. Yea I am really feeling the Dread.

gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=442994Garta This is the true villain of The Land of The Protectors.He works for the Time Constables and has told his superiors that he has this situation under control.The Protectors are huge Temporal Time Importance , if the country can be eliminated Garto will be able to make his people #1 in the temporal powers. Garta is a melee monster and should be able to be a fair fight w the party, he will smile and laugh sinisterly as the fight goes on. He will only confront the party when they have defeated his unwitting pawn. Make this an epic boss fight by giving him 3 melee attacks and the abilities to trip, disarm and push back.

The Skull-Reapers
This barbarian tribe was decimated by the Protectors about 5 years ago. They were the greatest threat to the Land, now they are a mere nusance. They seek to join with the time travelers from the future, wishing to be paid in steel weopans. They are equipped with wooden clubs, skull and hide armor(ac7). They have a few shamans, the rest are barbarian, most of their high level tribesman did not survive the full attenuation of the Protectors. Their is a thriving Black Market for slaves and the Reapers are eager to fill that demand. Exchanging them for bronze equipment.
