The dragons, being able to fly and all, decide to take their loot and go somewhere less screwed up with decidedly less demons.
(Counter Dwarmin) Luckily, The Shining One descends from the heavens themselves with an army of angels to quell the demon army. Gee, it sure is Dungeon Crawl in here.
Arogeth and Tala get pissed about being walked in on like that, and promptly send the demons scorched asses out of there!
-----------
THe OTHER party members had warrior families too, and they come up with a massive plan unhindered by any JENKINSSS!!!!es, that kills tala, the demons, and collapses the cave.
The ice demons decide to invite some of their forgotten beast friends over. It's now gotten very crowded in the newly expanded cave and Tala is getting upset.
Even worse, Kikubaaqudgha the Demon Lord rises from Hell and finds a Human host to hold him-it's a Human Child orphaned by Arogeths first attack...together, they plan a true apocalypse.
He has raised the Dwarves, Humans and Elves and other Animals in the land that died into undeath-he decides a pair of Zombie Dragons would be a perfect addition to his army-especially since one of them used to be a worshipper of him...revenge is sweet.
(Taric, M=3: 4) Both dragons are not happy at all about this interruption. It's said fire streamed from the cave's entrance for almost a full hour! Only one of the ice demons escapes their combined wrath, and (Theo, M=3: 6) he comes back with several moar ice demons. Goodness gracious. They used up all their fire earlier! What are they going to do now? (V-Norrec, M=3: 5) They instead decide to just take their things and leave. It's a nice cave, but screw this for a lark.
(Powder, M=3: 5) Still believe the dragons are in there, several warriors assault the cave! Through their combined efforts they kill all the demons, collapse the cave, and gain three or four levels apiece as well as earning some fame for themselves! Two in particular led the assault: Thrak Shadowstalker, an Orc warrior, and 'Lucky' Daigo Zamfir, a bard of some small reknown... more now, of course. This duo picks up their trail, and follows them away while the rest of the warriors celebrate the victory. (Dwarmin, M=3: 5. Krath, H=4: 2) Kikubaaqudgha interrupts the party with an undead legion! The warriors that stayed behind are slaughtered to a man and turned into part of the demon lord's growing army, and like the two heroes, has his sights set on a bigger prize: the two dragons...
Of course, now he has to find them first.
TEAM SUCCESS: 45
TEAM FAILURE: 53
2nd 1/2 of May
*Arogeth & Tala are seeking a new home.
*The humans and elves are locked in a war with demons and are suffering heavy casualties! The dwarves have already been completely wiped out.
*A female red dragon named Tala, who drank a love potion and is considering taking Arogeth on as her mate provided he can pass her trials, is traveling with him.
*Arogeth is permanently missing a few scales around his chest.
*In the horde is: a paltry amount of gold coins, two steel bins filled with various gemstones, a bronze figurine of a lion, a gem-encrusted adamantine crown, and a ruby-studded elven scepter that can cure wounds.
*Two heroes, an Orc warrior named Thrak Shadowstalker and a bard known as 'Lucky' Daigo Zamfir, are now roaming the lands in search of Arogeth and Tala.
*So is Kikubaaqudgha, Demon Lord of the undead legions now plaguing the countryside.
