The Return of the Dragon Gods (Part 2)

Well I was sitting around trying to come up with a blog for today since I wanted to try to only tell the story one time per week. However the Gods would not have it and the great Apollo has decided to sick one of his muses on me. So for those of you that enjoyed my story you are in for a treat because part two is being told so sit back and enjoy part two of “The Return of the Dragon Gods.”

The evil half dragon wizard Zanroar walked up to the priests of Falzure.

“So do you have the rod?” he asked.

“Yes we do. However are you sure you can get the other rod, and what about this second magic user you need according to the prophecy.” The high priest said while carefully holding a rod made of pure onyx etched with runes and topped with a skull of a kobold, The Rod of Falzure.

“Of course, I have everything working out to perfections. Soon the true Gods will be upon us and we will be rewarded greatly for our loyalty.”Zanroar snapped. He swiped the rod from the priest almost scratching him with his claws in the process. “Now if you excuse me I have some business to take care of.” He continued.

Hours later Zanroar is in the sewers of Bailey’s Point discussing his plans to his minion explaining what is needed of him. After a few days of monsters escaping the sewers a team of adventurers come in and destroy the monsters and steal the Rod of Falzure. When Zanroar returned and learned of this great incompetence he killed his minion. Zanroar contacted a doppelganger to get the rod back.

The doppelganger stalked the party of adventurers for miles sizing them up. When the party reached the city of Firechester he mingled with the crowds that were enamored with the party’s newest member. After studying them for a few days he formulated a plan. He went to the upper class side of town and informed the owner of The Dirty Wish Inn of the great bard singing on the poor side of the city. When the adventurers came to the Dirty Wish Inn they each went to their rooms.

When the half-elf druid got to his room he was ambushed. The doppelganger attacked the druid with a dagger. The dagger hit the druid’s armor and missed. The druid unaware of the attack until it was too late drew his sword and attacked the doppelganger. The doppelganger dodged the attack with the sword and slashed the throat of the druid. Not wanting to make a scene by carrying out the corpse of the druid he threw it in the corner. Now the doppelganger was ready to infiltrate the party and take the Rod of Falzure and return it to Zanroar.

This is the end of part two. Hopefully I will be able to wait until next week before writing part three.
