Is their plan to get revenge on them or keep Jughead for themselves.

16. The Red Paladin

Archies POV

Watching his friend as the hooded figure pushed the dice into his broken hand hurt. all Archie wanted to do was jump across the table and beat the guy for what he was doing. Jughead barely looks conscious let alone well enough to play this stupid game. The man grabs his his bandaged and splinted hand and sets the dice in Jugheads palm. Archie watches Jughead concetrate so hard to just lean forward and drop the dice on the board. The land with a soft thud on the board and roll to land on 6 and 3. Archie cringes as Jughead leans back and flinches several times in pain.

"Very good Hellcaster now we draw your quest card." The man leans forward and draws the first quest card on the top of the pile.

"Your quest is to face the Red Paladin in hand to hand combat. If-"

"That is ridiculous he can barely roll the dice he can't fight me." Archie interrupts not being able to hold it back.

"Careful Red Paladin let me finish reading. If you should chose not to face him the whole party will suffer the consequences. Should you win the Paladin will suffer and same goes to you." Archie clenches his fists on the table. This guy is making if impossible for Jughead to back out. Archie looks over at his broken friend and watches as he gives a small nod in acceptance.

"Red Paladin please help your friend into the ring. I will stay here to watch over these lovely ladies." The man states and Archie clenches his teeth to hold back. He stands up and rounds the table. Getting closer to Jughead makes Archies anger boil more. His friend looks worse up close. Reaching down Archie lifts Jugheads left arm up and wraps it around his shoulders. He lifts Jughead up to a standing position and starts heading towards the ring.

"You can't throw the fight Arch" Archie almost misses his friends deathly quiet whisper.

"Jug I can't-"

"Arch this whole thing is a trap. I don't know how yet but if your down you can't protect Betty and Veronica. Plus Kurtz wants me to lose. If I win he will find a way to make your regret. So stop arguing with me, Sweep my legs."

"Jug its broken do you know-"

"They fed me fizzle rocks..I am so high right now I can't feel my fingers. So just do it."

Archie really wants to argue but he knows, despite the obvious concussion, Jughead is right. They finally make into the ring and Archie leaves Jughead standing in the middle. He takes a couple steps back and looks over at the man, who he now knows is Kurtz.

"Alrighty then let the battle begin!"
