So... I got sidetracked by re-reading Dev-22 and a few TVTropes links in the later pages. Sorry. ^^; Turn nao.

Quote from: V-Norrec: (After Theo)
(Counter Theodolus) The healing wand patches up Arogeth better than ever replacing all those missing scales and stopping any internal bleeding. OR The worshippers of Sif Muna and Vehumet unite and put this down this unholy threat. The world is once again at peace and the demons sealed away.
Quote from: Krath: (After Powder)
(Counter Powder) Except not really, as she crushes and eats them all. OR Thrak and Lucky completely lose the trail of the dragons, and end up running into Kiku's evil hordes. Lolwhoops.
Quote from: Taricus: 72
Arogeth and Tala find a perfect new cave on an isolated, inactive volcano in the middle of a warm ocean.
-----------
Quote from: Powder Miner: 65
Tala is found and slain by the heroes, dealing a crushing emotional blow to Arogeth.
Quote from: Theodolus: 88
Flying along Arogeth and Tala stop to eat. They stop in some joyful wilds, and while hunting a unicorn pierces Arogeth's chest! He's now suffering from some internal bleeding.
Quote from: Dwarmin: 79
Kikubaaqudgha's minions, both mortal and demonic, scour the land for Tala and Arogeth! Many small kingdoms and tribes are offered the false hope at saving themselves, if they only reveal what they know about the Dragons whereabouts...

(Theo, M=3: 4. V-N, H=4: 1.) The two dragons descend on what is known as a relatively magical yet safe area of the continent and catch some animals for lunch. While they're taking a break from looking around, they spy a unicorn, and Tala suggests that perhaps she should have its horn and he should get it for her. Arogeth is easily manipulated and squares off with it! The battle is short but brutal, as the unicorn charges the dragon and stabs him in the chest with its horn! But it gets a stuck-in and is slaughtered pretty much instantly. Despite the pain and minor internal injuries, Arogeth presents Tala with the horn and cooked unicorn for a snack. (Dwarmin, M=3: 6) The demon lord gets reports from his scouts and 'ambassadors' that his quarry is on the move. Now he has a solid lead, but he still has yet to chase them down and acquire them.

(Taricus, M=3: 3.) The pair move on and land on a tropical island a few miles off of the coast. There, they find a natural cave in a volcano. It's very cozy and home-like for a dragon, and the natural heat of the cave as well as the constantly-pleasant weather outside makes them decide to settle down there for the duration. It's nice and peaceful, but it's no place to build up a horde. :-\ (Powder, H=4 due to dragons no longer on main continent: 2. Krath, M=3: 2.) Thrak and Lucky Daigo encounter the darkspawn demon horde in the joyful wilderness area. Between the two of them, they manage to route the small army Kiku had sent out and gain a few levels. Thrak specializes to Berserker to increase his DPS at the cost of his defense and Daigo class-upgrades to Stormdancer so he now has some electricity-based spells and skills.

TEAM SUCCESS: 48
TEAM FAILURE: 59

1st 1/2 of June

*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. This same site is also the source of an injury stemming from a unicorn's horn.
*In the horde is: a paltry amount of gold coins, two steel bins filled with various gemstones, a unicorn horn, 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 Berserker named Thrak Shadowstalker and a Stormdancer 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.

A few monsoons on the continent's coast renders the dragons untrackable, even if the forces of dragon slaying find them, thee's no guarantee that they'll survive the journey.

'Kiku'!? Who dares shorten my name to sound so that is sounds cute instead of terrifying!

Being the cunning Demon Lord he is, Kikubaaqudgha uses his spies to spread a sly rumor among the Hero community-whats left of it anyway-about the location of two Dragons in the world, that if their blood was combined, could create a poison capable of killing him and ending the invasion, thus saving the world. Tis a total red herring, and probably qualifies for a BAD END.

Also, he sends minions to destroy the GM for calling him "Kiku".

Scepter, Heal, Now, Restore Scales too.

Edit:  which also would obviously make him harder to kill and thus make Kiku's job harder.

The volcano erupts when Tala's still inside, and even she can't handle that much heat.

While hunting for fish Arogeth is attacked by a zombie shark. His wings are shredded and he is forced to swim back to the mainland to escape its clutches.

Nah, it's not that. As I said to Zako, I've been feeling kinda depressed recently and have to work up the energy to do things. Since you asked, though, I'll make it happen.

Also, he sends minions to destroy the GM for calling him "Kiku".

(Theo, M=3: 2) Arogeth takes a dip in the ocean. It's pretty nice, but he can't help but feel it's a little boring without anything like zombie whales attacking him. Nevertheless he wrangles a few sharks out of the water and drags them home to eat. And use their teeth as decorations. (Dwarmin, M=3 & Impossible=10: 5, 2) Kiku sends his spies out to spread some false rumors. Being that he's intelligent and hires only the best to serve him, these rumors quickly become accepted as fact and many heroes great and small mobilize to defeat the dragons. Meanwhile, he sends some minions out to destroy the GM, but being that he's the GM Jay anticipates this and searches through his files for an acceptable hero. After about ten minutes of searching he finds his god-mode-Sue character from about thirteen years ago, a seven and a half foot warrior who dual-wields a magic greatsword and a triple-barreled shotgun with enough agility to shame Spiderman, as well as the ability to morph into a Bahamut-like beast.

The minions are utterly crushed in the most boring, predictable, special-effects-laden, overdone fight scene to ever happen off-camera. There can be no defeating a twelve-year-old's god-mode-Sue. It's just not possible.

(Krath, H=4: 3) Unfortunately Gods apparently don't exist in this world. Just Kiku and his imaginary rival 'the GM,' which is seriously starting to worry his minions. What the hell does GM stand for and why is Kiku worried about it so much? (Taricus, M=3: 4) While all the atheists in the kingdom are pointing at the priests like 'ha-ha,' some higher power decides to smite the coastal cities with a massive monsoon. If the assorted heroes can even find the island now, it'll be more difficult to get to. (Powder, H=4: 5) So anyway, while Arogeth is still bringing the sharks back, the volcano erupts with Tala in the cave. She gets cooked. :'( One less dragon in the world now, but at least the hoard is safe.

(V-N, M=3: 3) With a proper application of the healing scepter, Arogeth managed to regrow his scales and recover his injuries... but he can't bring Tala back. You can't un-fry things, Arogeth. You can't be something that you're not.

TEAM SUCCESS: 54
TEAM FAILURE: 66

2nd 1/2 of June

*Arogeth has made a new home in a cave in a volcano on a tropical island.
*The humans and elves are locked in a war with demons and are suffering heavy casualties! The dwarves have already been completely wiped out.
*Arogeth's scales are more durable than that of most adult dragons due to the power of his healing scepter.
*In the hoard is: a paltry amount of gold coins, two steel bins filled with various gemstones, a unicorn horn, 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 Berserker named Thrak Shadowstalker and a Stormdancer known as 'Lucky' Daigo Zamfir, are now roaming the lands in search of Arogeth. There are others too but they're still only level 1 and haven't gotten enough EXP to earn a name or class yet.
*So is Kikubaaqudgha, Demon Lord of the undead legions now plaguing the countryside.

Fortunately, she does come back, if a bit... different. Tala comes back as a magma dragon!

The tropical island actually has unheard of natives on it. They look up to Arogeth as a deity, and see the recent eruption as his ANGERRRRR. They shower him with gifts and wealth to appease him.

Mildly miffed at GMs attempts to outshine him in pure destructive might, Kikubaaqudgha begins creating a massive flying monstrosity composed of the flesh and bones of thousands of fallen warriors and demons-in the form of an evil Dragon!

He will call it "ARGODEATH"! No self respecting Dragon can let such an insult stand unchallenged, right?
