Kevin White's Scenario

1st Run: Cave Sweet Cave #

NPCs, with plans of the dungeon in their packs and knowing the Dark Lord had left his ring with Demorris (his confidential adivisor and brain in a jar) while he was off on a romantic daliance, snuck into the dungeon, stole the ring, killed Demorris, and released the contents of the cafeteria. But the PMs captured two adventures and found they had been hired by a mage staying at nearby Inn to steal a great deal of treasure. Instead, there was nothing except a ring which the mage had teleported off with.

2nd Run: Lair of the Enemy #

The PMs, disguised as adventures, arrived at a pleasant provincial Inn. The gossip in the bar (hireling hall) was about the mage who had deserted his party in a dungeon, and then had been found unconscious and with his hand chopped off before the party got back. A PM succubus got into a conversation with the mage's girlfriend Demonica, who asked to look at the PM's whip for a moment, then asked who sent her ... which for some reason the PM succubus felt an uncontrollable urge to answer.

Later, the PM succubus crept into the room of the Hobbit, Mr Underdock, who had seemed to be the only adventurer satisfied with the whole affair. He woke up, but she tied him up with his encouragement. She learned he worked for the hobbit mafiosi of Atlantis city which had stolen a valuable ring they knew the mage would come back with. Later, the remains of the adventuring party conspired with the PMs to demand compensation of the mage -- but the distraction only succeeded in waking up Inspector Japp, who, as the monsters escaped, took the unfortunate mage into the custody of the human king.

3rd Run: Revenge, Part I #

The Dark Lady sent out the PMs to slay Demonica for seducing her husband. Demonica had taken refuge with a dragon in the far north. Unfortunately, they instead attacked the castle of vampire friend of hers. Five undead PMs, including two Vampires, do not fare well in an enclosed courtyard once they begin controlling each other. Demonica, however, sent back one of her captives back with a message for the ears of the Dark Lady only. "I have sent a message to the spectral persecutor which can be revealed only by my death. In it, I reveal that you were the one who ordered me to steal the Dark Lord's ring to replace your own missing ring. I'll spill the beans if you try to kill me again."

4th Run: Revenge, Part II #

Simultaneous missions were sent out by the Dark Lady to the Pocanoes to kill Lewinsky, and DC to steal the message she sent. Net result: a horse was killed.

5th Run: Revenge, Part III #

Once again, simultaneous missions were sent out. The PM succubus charmed the Dragon who had once admired Demonica, but left behind a PM werewolf who became enamoured of her when the dragon took the party succubus out for a ride. The party and dragon returned to kill/eat Lewinsky, but she successfully commanded her once loyal dragon to try to eat the party drake first. Meanwhile, the PM werewolf and Lewinsky had prepared a trap for the oncoming party, but they successfully fought their way through it and slew Demonica, though by the end three party members were trying to defend her. Simultaneously, another party destroyed the message she had sent to the spectral persecutor.

Conclusion #

Such is the reward of loyalty to the Dark Lady. All rumors of the Dark Lady's hand in the stealing of the Lord's ring are now merely unconfirmable gossip, and the Dark Marriage is preserved.
