Well it’s officially a new week so that means another part of my story “Return of the Dragon Gods”. The past few parts of the story have dealt with the main villain of the story which is also the main character of these stories, Zanroar. Well this time around I’ll focus on the other villains. I’ll start with the doppelganger and maybe in this part I shall go on with the others. Well enough talking let’s get on with the story.
After about a week of trudging around with the party of adventurers and trying many times to steal the Rod of Falzure from the gnome that took it, the doppelganger came up with a plan. He needed to get away from the group first though. He left his room and went downstairs.
As he got down there the crazy Dwarven cleric who shaves his beard constantly, was down there so he went up to him trying to keep his cover. “So Neetch, are we going to go clear out that prison today or what?” Neetch just looks at him and says, “Cookie!” and then gets up and walks away. The doppelganger went to get up when the group’s bard comes down the stairs. “Make way for the great Zoey Stardust.” She yelled as she made her way down the stairs. Neetch yells to her, “Pass the remote.”
Later in the day when Neetch and the group’s half orc barbarian Ront went off to “check out the prison situation” and the paladin, rogue, and bard left somewhere in town he made his move. He took a horse and traveled to an ancient set of ruins and stood there outside. “Hey dumbass I need a favor.” He yelled. Nothing happened. “Listen, if we’re going to bring back the true Gods we need the Rod of Falzure and some idiot gnome has it. The gnome would be easy if he wasn’t always around this group of adventurers including this crazy nut job cleric of Erythnul.” Suddenly one of the gargoyles stood up. “Listen just because you’re Zanroar’s pet doesn’t mean you can boss me around. I’ll do you this favor but you’d better think twice before calling me a dumbass again. So what do you want me to do?” “Come to the town of Firechester and start attacking the Dirty Wish Inn yelling for the rod. Just leave the rest to me. I promise you this will be the last favor I ask of you ever.” the doppelganger said as he walked away.
Hours later the gargoyle attacked the inn. The gargoyle ended up getting killed during the fight. “I told him I wouldn’t ask him any more favors.” the doppelganger thought to himself. Now everyone was starting to gang up on the gnome trying to get a hold of the rod. Finally the paladin told the group, “Do what it takes to get the rod.” Neetch, Ront, and the doppelganger fought Fitz (the gnome) until he was he was dead. Before the doppelganger could grab the rod, the rogue Halfling grabbed it and gave it to the paladin.
The party picked up their fallen comrade and headed towards the temple the doppelganger followed along until he came up with a plan to grab the rod. He walked up to the paladin and told her that he’d run ahead and let the temple‘s clerics know they were coming, and ran ahead. When he got to the temple he snuck up on the high cleric and slit his throat from behind. Then with the High Cleric dead he could easily pose as the high cleric and the idiots would just hand him the rod. He quickly changed into the high cleric and met the party at the door. “Ah your friend told me you’d be coming. I’ll gladly take that evil rod from your hands.” The paladin handed the rod over to him. “Good. Now you can just go down that hallway and you can heal your friend’s wounds.” He said as he pointed down the hallway. As they went down the hall way he quickly threw the rod in his satchel and changed into a nondescript human and ran off to meet up with Zanroar.
