The War Against Drakath
Chapter 24: Upper Dwarfhold
It looked like Upper Dwarfhold had been seized too. Drow Assassins were everywhere….
Apparently, Vath was spreading his influence throughout Dwarfhold…not a good thing….
I saw a dark elf wearing two eyepatches, but he didn't seem interested in fighting us. In fact, seeing though both of his eyes were missing, I don't think he even saw us.
"Hello?" I asked him.
"Yes?" asked the dark elf.
"Who are you? Are you with the dark elves that seized this place? Because if you are…" I conjured a fireball.
"Er, no, not necessarily. You see, Vath reunited the Drow Clans, meaning I can't make profit out of their fighting like I did before…" he said, frowning as he did so. "By the way, my name is Jorxlol. So what are you doing here?" Jorxlol asked.
"We're trying to put a stop to what our Chaos Dragonlord friend here is doing." I said, taking out a Drow Assassin who tried to stab me in the back.
"Well, I suppose you'll want to learn more about him…he's pretty dangerous." Jorxlol commented.
"How am I supposed to do that?" I asked.
Jorxlol told us that he would help us get inside Vath's Keep, but we would need to get rid of the monsters around here first. He told us to go spy on Vath….and that's exactly what he did.
I have to admit, it was somewhat scary seeing Vath in the flesh….but don't tell Masamune34 I said that….
Apparently, Vath was using his Chaorupted Dragonlord Amulet to control Stalagbite, his ferocious chaorrupted dragon. Also, he was treating the dwarves even worse than Masamune34 and I thought. According to him, if the dwarves didn't give him enough Chaos Gemeralds, he would starve the poor little guys to death.
"Inhuman monster…" I muttered under my breath. Yes, even I thought Vath was a horrible person.
Come to think of it, even his own minions seemed to think what he was doing was cruel. They kept telling them the dwarves were suffering and were even dying, but he didn't care at all whatsoever. In fact, just recently one of his minions got kicked out of Vath's group. Vath pretty much told him to run home to mommy.
"Yes…soon everyone will know my supremacy…" said the Chaos Dragonlord.
It was a shame that we weren't able to do anything about him at the moment….I'd love to blast the dark elf with my magic….but I suppose we should listen to the dwarvern chieftain….wouldn't want the Chaos Dragonlord to end our adventure after we defeated only 1 Chaos Lord…
I wondered what exactly he planned on doing with the Chaos Gemeralds…it didn't seem like anything good….well, OK maybe not anything evil either…perhaps something chaotic?
Anyways, apparently we would need to stop the Chaos Draconians from producing any more offspring by destroying the Chaos Eggs. So we went to work smashing the eggs…
Suffice to say I enjoyed that….
We also had to take out some Rhino Beetles…unfortunately we did not bring insect repellant.
We later went to work on taking down the Terradactyl and the Frill Lizard.
The Terradactyl in question was in charge of protecting the eggs…it wasn't happy that we had broken some of them already. It swooped down out of nowhere and attacked us!
Masamune34 got attacked first. The Terradactyl tried to scrape his eyes out!
But as much fun as that would be to watch, I suppose I couldn't let that happen to him. I struck the Terradactyl with lightning…which unfortunately sent the prehistoric dinosaur after me…
But of course Masamune34 was there to help, and we sent that dinosaur back to the stone age….
We also had to deal with some lizards as well. Seeing though they were cold-blooded, I think it was safe to say that my magic was effective against them.
Finally, we returned to Jorxlol, who allowed us to get all the way to Vath's Keep…..
Apparently, that was where we would face Vath and end this madness once and for all….
Suffice to say, Masamune34 and I both looked forward to storming his castle and putting an end to his dwarvern slavery…
Could we pull it off?
