Return of the Dragon Gods Part 3

To my fellow WARP contestants I know that two of you have issued challenges but I will just have to answer them tomorrow as after going to see Star Trek today I have been hit with a ton of creative energy and have been compelled to write part 3 of my story, so do not fret I am not ignoring your challenges I am just delaying my responses to them.

For everyone else I bring you part three of my weekly story “Return of the Dragon Gods”

While wait for his minion the doppelganger to bring him the Rod of Falzure, Zanroar called a meeting of his generals. These generals included some of the most vile and despicable beings known. Sitting to the left of Zanroar was Lord Shieldheart whose family hatred of the Dwarven kingdom of Stormforge goes back generations to his grandfather who kidnapped the Dwarven Prince Nanar and had a curse put on the kingdom. To the left of Lord Shieldheart sat Gix a kobold and the greatest assassin known, he has been successfully contracted to take care of business for hundreds of shady characters. Across the stone table from Gix was a human ranger by the name of Pandak Droverson however to many he was known as The Laughing Bastard due to his many “conquests” and the unwanted illegitimate children that he has sired, rumor has it that he has sired over fifteen children. Sitting to the right of Pandak was Ruzajor a polymorphed black dragon who is so old that when the Dragon Gods fell he was but a hatchling. Finally sitting at the head of the table next to Zanroar was a woman shrouded in darkness who had key information about the location of the rod of wonder.

Zanroar spoke up. “Welcome I have invited you all here because you are the most vile beings known to man. Each of you will have a critical role to play in the new world that I am making. Once the true Gods have been freed I shall rule this plane and all who dare to stop me will be powerless to put up a fight. My associate here has graciously given us the information needed to acquire the rod of wonder needed to open the seal that has held back our Gods for too long. In three months time we will use the power of both rods at the peak of the 3000th Atheirdarastrix celebration in Firechester when the moon is fully dark . Now as payment for your services so far I will be giving each of a special potion of resurrection, from this point forward if you were to fall at the hands of your enemy then after a few minutes you shall awaken fully healed. As another service I shall give each of you your choice of draconic grapht.”

As he finishes up a gnome walks up to Zanroar and whispers something in his ear.

“It seems that my doppelganger should be arriving right on schedule with the Rod of Falzure. Shieldheart, I will need your castle to serve as a meeting point for my minion to give me the rod.” Zanroar said
