Tall and imposing, Mount Grim's highest peak is forever covered by a magic obscuring mist. Though it is still possible to cast spells, scrying and observation magic are noneffective. At the highest peak can be found a small cave smelling of rotten flesh and vegetables. Inside are mounds of gold, jewels, and enchanted weapons and jewelry. Enter at your own peril for this is the lair of Trogdor and few are welcome.

With a bright flash and a gust of wind, the interior of the cave was greatly changed. Mounds of gold appeared like a shower of clinking metal. Kobolds, goblins, gnolls, and other vestiges of the Hunting Legion teleported in still brandishing their weapons at a mob of zombies. The undead creatures seemed to be confused, allowing the troll and women to escape their attacks for now. During the flash of light a shadow zoomed into the deepest part of the cave.

A dim light filtered in through the cave entrance and reflected off a large pair of gleaming eyes. A rumbling voice filled the cave, "So you have made it. And in good numbers, it seems. The leader of this expedition should be commended. Come forwards Solix." The troll, covered in scratches and bite marks, fell to his knees in front of his master, "We have collected both hoards. But I fear the undead have infected me..." Solix gave a brief summary of the journey. The dragon hummed with interest as he scrutinized the zombies, wondering how responsive they would be. "All this sounds good. Even your plight, Solix, may turn to our advantage. But in such a state I can no longer send you to Isra. Which is the Kobold Oobie? Come forward and give me your perspective."

Trogdor’s cave had a rancid smell to the nose of a human. Decaying flesh warned other predators that this cave was inhabited. On the spiritual level, the mana that seeped out of the cave stank like an old cheese. It smelled of pride and ancient strength for it issued from the shredded soul of a demigod. The power of a phoenix burned at its brightest, a smidge of spice on the pallet. The corrupted souls of demigod, phoenix, and something of a holy nature were slowly dissipating within the cave, trapped within various artifacts that were not meant to contain souls. A cold wind blew that swirled the mist on the mountain. Though the mist normally suppressed magic, it did not affect the mana that oozed from the cave. The condensed water molecules suspended in the atmosphere were burned away causing a path through the mist towards the entrance of the cave. “Do you like what you smell?” The dragon spoke into the wind, his voice issuing from the cave in a whisper, “Have a taste.” Clanking jarringly upon the mountain silence a steel chain tumbled out of the cave. Within the stomach of Trogdor three souls had been combined and stored within the chain in a desperate move at perseverance. The whole spell had been held together by an enchantment that had made the chains unbreakable. Clinking continued to fill the air as the heavy links of steel began to shake. The souls within had some notion of what was to come. Arakhna

Eclipsa snarled, sensing the abundant magical energy in the cave. While the noxious odor was foul, the scent of mana was.. Corrupt. Her claws elongated, as her jaw extended, hissing volatiley. "What have you done to the mana?"

“What have I done to it? That is, perhaps, the wrong question. I have done nothing but cleanse the volatile stuff from my own soul. What has been done to corrupt this energy is a long, complicated, and probably boring tale. Though I would be willing to tell it. But you may learn something of that history through taste alone.”
Upon examining the chain and the mana it dissipated, Eclipsa would find nothing in it that might try to harm her. It was simply a dark magic from an evil being. To say that it was corrupt only meant that it was unlike any natural form of mana. This piece was only a fraction of the source that continued to pour magic out of the cave. Sliver though it may be the power it held was great.

Eclipsa hissed, but reluctantly scooped some of the abundant mana, quickly she feasted upon it. Her jaws shredded through the energy, ripping it apart in a violent vortex. She quickly finished devouring all the mana she could.

Oobie Doobie He felt fear for this unknown entity, for it sounded massive. He heard Sollix speaking to the being and Oobie guessed that this could be Sollix's master, they certainly knew each other. He was curious what this creature was and would try to make out some details from the darkness. Oobie walks toward the voice and swallows some spit before beginning to speak. "I am Oobie, who are you? Why are we here? This is not where I intended to bring us." The rest of the bandits would be fighting the zombies if they were still attacking.

As the spider demon chewed flashes of memory revealed themselves for one last time… … A woman far too beautiful to be human sits in the back of a lavish carriage next to a very large and simple-seeming man. Ensnared in a spell the knight's eyes were glued to the beautiful women. But his attention was drawn elsewhere. The carriage has breached the top of a hill revealing a large mansion that was partially destroyed. Laying atop it was a red dragon with a white stomach speckled with golden flakes. It’s head was lowered to a human in a rough brown robe. He held three tarot cards before the dragon. "Trogdor! Why didn't you just land in the yard or at the Angelican Estate?! Did you have to do that? If you weren't bonded to Zaltos i'd have to knock you on your head!" Giplor shouted at Trogdor, shaking his fist at him as he spoke. "This is Trogdor. He is the dragon of the Pharaoh of The Phoenix State. He would never harm us, but he seems to be fond of wrecking stuff." Instead of responding, the siren sang in her native tongue. When she spoke, she spoke in Siren's Song, forgetting the warning that Giplor had given her. It was a beautiful song that drifted from her lips, as melodic as the ebb and flow of ocean waves on white beaches, as the sway of emerald seaweed in the warm currents. Both humans seemed to fall into a stunned stupor when hearing the music. As this happened the dragon quickly ate the priest that had just read him an ill fortune. The scene went black. In the darkness of the dragon's stomach, the artifacts that the priest carried were performing their tasks of preserving the dead man's soul so that his knowledge would not be lost. But the ceremony was interrupted by a golden fire, out of which appeared a shadow with icy blue eyes. Molten gold and silver along with enchanted gems and chains entered the stomach. Through the connection of their bond, Pharaoh Kiraxo twisted the priest soul and inserted his own energy. Using the spell that the priest had already been casting Zaltos began spreading the energy into all the artifacts and valuables that the dragon was consuming. By sacrificing a human soul the Pharaoh pushed the bounds of his mortality. However, the priest had managed to protect a bit of himself within the tarot cards, the last item he had used. Three cards in particular preserved the holy man. After her meal, Eclipsa would like sense the sudden appearance of a ground of small humanoid creatures in the cave. With their arrival was a significant uprising in the corrupted magic.

As Eclipsa feasted, her body changed. The black chitin faded to ivory smooth and supple skin, her eyes glowing not red any longer, but a softer color. Long locks of winter snow fell down, meeting the black widow section of her body. The crown on her head melted into two orbs, which floated, keeping parts of her hair together. She grabbed for one of the small creatures, intent to feast more. The memories do little, but she realizes more of the dragons past.. She doesn't care.

Being carried in front of the dragon, the staff that Oobie carried began to shake and the tome pulsed with energy. The staff let off a cracking sound as energies within the wood battled for control.
Approaching the dragon the kobold leader would sense the same mana that was present in the Crystaline Cavern when the shadow monster had attacked. Only now that feeling was stronger, and the shade was still in the cave somewhere.

The dragon, however was not phased. Much of the evil aura was coming from him after all. As the kobold came closer, Trogdor's bulking shape took form out of the darkness.
“Ever since you collected my personal treasures from the Valheesius Desert I have tracked your progress. Using the Wanderer’s Tome was quite an impressive piece of magic. You completed the mission faster than expected so I redirected your teleportation to here. Now, thanks to you, all my lairs are magically linked.”
The dragon lowered his head and examined Oobie closely with a large red eye, “Indeed, you have the potential to become a mage of renown. That book and the ring with it would be of great use to you. Take them if you desire… but that staff appears to be broken and unstable. It might be best if-”
Before Trogdor could finish he was interrupted by a new arrival. Eclipsa had been feasting outside the cave before the dwindling Hunting Legion had arrived, but it appeared that the spider demon was not full yet. Ignoring the magical items around her the famished demon pounced on the nearest bandit.
Instead of stopping Eclipsa he nodded his head towards Oobie, almost in consent. It would be interesting to see how Oobie the mage would react. More importantly Trogdor wished to have some inclination of Eclipsa’s strength. Her lack of awareness shown by attacking a guest in Trogdor's cave so quickly beskope of either foolishness or arrogance, both qualities that Trogdor could not tolerate for long in anyone but himself. Be this as it may, the fight would not be allowed to get out of hand.

So the battle continues! Sollix was covered in blood, mostly his own, after slaying so many zombies. The appearance of another threat to his party put the troll into a full-on battle rage.
Eyes glowing red, an axe in one hand and sword in the other, Sollix charged the giant spider. He first threw the axe at the head of the human like body, then swung the sword horizontally at two long legs. He did not stop his charge however and attempted to gouge the spider's abdomen with his tusks.

He did not stop his charge however and attempted to gouge the spider's abdomen with his tusks. Eclipsa rolled her eyes, heaving a sigh. With a flick of her wrists, her magic grabbed the axe from out of the air. She snorted in derision, hiding the prick of pain from the sword. Her chitin was thick, and it was but a nuisance, yet she was not within her hell. She was not all-powerful. She channeled her magic to paralyze the creature, levitating him up. "Use your words, sweetie." She mocks. She could sense the ambient magic in the room, and she opened one of her hands, a small ball of mana slowly forming.

Oobie can now start to make out more details of Trogdor and is sure now that this is a dragon. His father Doobie told him about a dragon he met before and he thought to himself he should think about his actions carefully in the dragon's lair. He stays still while Trogdor examines him, he felt so small compared to the dragon which was the largest creature he'd ever seen. While standing there, Abney Park was still evolving and Oobie would start to gain the ability to see heat signatures. At first, he thinks something is wrong with his eyes and he wants to rub them but resists the urge. Could he be hallucinating? He wasn't sure, but he could know make out blurry outlines of everyone more easily in the darkness.
Oobie looks down at the staff when Trogdor speaks of it and he chooses to put it down, he had no interest in having it blow up in his face. When the spider creature arrives, Oobie turns to face the next threat to his squad now in combat with his troll ally. The Kobold boss clutches his fist and starts building up heat before running in.
"HWWOOOOOOOOOAAAAA!" While running at Eclipsa he holds his arm back to wind up a strong punch. A few orange circles began burning through the metal around his arm to create holes from which steam began to puff out. When/if he got close enough he'd launch his brand new move, STEAM PUNCH! A burst of steam would propel his gold-armored fist forward with greater force than he was previously able to put out.

The sphere slowly grows bigger and bigger. Eclipsa frowns, jumping out of Oobie's path. "No need for that, dear, I can just set your little friend down, and we can go about as we were, yes." She says, dropping the levitation on Sollix.

As the levitation dropped Sollix shot a fire ball out of his hand that sped towards Eclipsa.
"You ate my friend!" Bellowed the troll in his own dialect. Again he advanced, swinging the sword at the spider women's legs. This time his eyes glowed white, a chaotic energy growing within.

“Yes.” Said Sollix. The spider had made no move to dodge and the fireball hit it's mark. How much such a small blast would do to the hard carapace of a demon was unknown to Sollix.
The next attack he was current charging was sure to do more damage. Pupils completely dilated, the troll held his three fingered hands before his face. As Oobie engaged the spider-moster Sollix would continue to charge an attack.

From the sidelines, the bandits cheered for Oobie and Sollix. "REEE! Crush the spider! REEE!" "OOOOO GETTEM B0sS" "Reeee!" "KILL!" "REE!" "PUT EM IN A HEADLOCk!" "Ooooo Killem!"
After missing his punch Oobie needed to close the distance again and buy time for Sollix to charge up. He had discharged a lot of heat in his previous move, so he needed to build it back up again. Waiting for the warmup, Oobie draws his scimitar to defend himself while distracting the demon. Coming closer to Eclipsa, he is not sure if the bandit minion is still alive or not and he needed to stay vigilant.
