Re: Dragonia
While Sir Donald waited in the plane to deal with the Steam Men, Ichigo Ishiyama and Flames got free. The monk used his weapon's special attack on Coop Cooper. The agent went down, wounded. Ishiyama stabilized Cooper so they could take him in and question him.
Sir Donald used his gravity axe spell, trying to hit the lead robot. He missed and hit the inner wall of the plane. Instantly that spot was a hundred times heavier than the rest of the plane. The plane rolled. The robots were crushed. The metal fuselage kept rolling, causing Flames and Ishiyama to jump out of the way, but Cooper was crushed flat.
Donald climbed out of the wreckage after it stopped rolling.
The two adventurers realize they were stuck in a cave with a wrecked vehicle, and monsters behind them. After a few moments, Ishiyama found a door leading to the outside. They use that to get out of the secret hangar.
Flames flew, carrying the knight and monk on his back. They realized they are on the other side of the mountain range. An ice dragon attacked from above. After a small battle which included a loop to loop, the trio broke away and found a place to hide and heal up until the white dragon ceased looking for them.
The three took a few minutes to look around the other side of the mountain range. They snuck down into the hills. They spotted the ice dragon moving into the hangar behind and above them as they went.
Ahead the giant of fire stood impossibly tall in the distance.
They found pools of bubbling tar and statues of things at the edge of the hills. A reading on the statues revealed they had been people and animals caught by the tar. Donald was almost caught by an eruption of heat and tar before they turned back and headed for West Town.
The knight filed a report and got his equipment repaired.
A message came in for Donald with orders. He had to report back to Mayor Puffin. Something was wrong with one of the town's sanctuaries. The knight asked the monk to journey southeast with him to find out what was going on.
They arrived at the sanctuary to find a fight had taken place. They asked the examiners to wait outside. After some investigation, Ishiyama told Donald that Coop Cooper had rigged the controls to make zombies. They get a messenger dragon to spread word to check other sanctuaries especially ones where Cooper had been.
A zombie arrived. Donald killed it. The sanctuary reloaded it instantly. Donald killed it again and destroyed the controls before it could be loaded again. The former resident was turned into a misshapen mess at the sanctuary he had saved his memory at before the sabotaged center.
Sir Donald, Flames, and Ishiyama went back to the capitol after receiving an all clear from sanctuary teams across the nation. They were drinking punch at a local café when Donald's attention was attracted by a deadly odor. They decided to head into the sewer and investigate. They found claw marks like that of a bear in the tunnels. That took them to the Dragon Airport the city used as a central flying coordinator.
They decided to investigate the airport, noting the departure of a Steam plane overhead. They found a wooden box in the air terminal among the waiting passengers. A check revealed the box was a bomb counting down. The two warned everyone to get away before trying to create defensive force walls to protect the fleeing people. The bomb went off, but most of the force had been directed away from the intended victims.
Donald caught a whiff of that strange smell as the building burned down. They head back down into the sewers and spotted someone heading toward the center of the city. Trailing the shadowy figure, they realized the mystery man was heading for the dragon knight barracks.
The trio confront the figure. Their quarry identified himself as the Inspector General of the Dragon Knights and had Sir Donald and Flames thrown in jail by the barracks guards with the threat of charges in the morning.
The next day Sir Donald and his dragon were released. There were no charges filed for whatever reason. They were ordered to get out.
They decided to visit the king and talk to him about the bombing. After wrangling with the clerk at the door, and asking for a conference, King Sam ordered Donald to find the steam plane.
Donald went back to the airport. After talking to several experts on the scene, and the lighthouse crew, he gained two clues. Shrapnel in bomb came from crystal shards carved by a kingdom in the north. The steam plane flew north just before the bomb went off.
Donald decided that he needed to go to Opal, the North Men's capitol, and straighten things out.
The Three Avengers flew north, stopping at North Town, the last Dragonia city before having to brave the snowy mountains of the Yeti. They overheard discussions of whole families turning up missing. It seemed like the local Knights had no clue.
Donald offered their services to the locals after a brief altercation. The knight who had disagreed with his junior led them to the latest empty house. Ishiyama used his clairvoyance on the house. He declared violence had been done on the first floor, and the killer resided in a basement somewhere.
They checked a map, and found that all of the disappearances were in a circle. Donald decided they should talk to the people who lived in any house in the center of the circle. Their first suspect seemed an ordinary old man. Donald, Flames, and Ishiyama decided to check out an abandoned sanctuary in sight while the other knight started knocking on house doors on that block.
The adventurers found disturbed graves in the graveyard next to the sanctuary. Flames opened the graves to find decomposing bodies on top of skeletons. A brief examination revealed bite marks on the most recent victims and no blood when the heroes touched the corpses.
Checking the old building, they saw the rebirth vats and controls have been stripped, the pews were gone or broken, but new candles had been put in holders near the door and lit. A footprint in the dust points the way to the supply closet.
Donald chopped into the door, knocking it aside since it was unlocked. That revealed steps leading into the basement. Donald used his flash spell, revealing tombs in the basement. He ordered Flames to set fire to the area. The dragon hit a tomb which caused one of the corpses to stand up.
A brief battle ensued with Ishiyama being knocked out, Donald and Flames both about to be choked out or worse. The knight used his flash again. That caused the vampire to release them and teleport away.
