Re: Divas” Exploits

At our next summit, we must discuss the troublesome Divas. It is time they were eliminated.

Kaurophon succeeded in luring them to Occipitus, but <

a href=”http://dungeon-divas.com/?p=432″>failed in his major tasks. The Divas did not falter on the evil plane, passed the tests, and became heirs to Adimarchus” realm. This is most unsatisfactory. Under orders from Orbius, Ike hired the best assassins in Cauldron. These assassins studied the Divas and their strategies and lay in wait for the perfect opportunity. Miraculously, the Divas survived this attempt as well.

The Divas have also spread their influence beyond Cauldron. Outside of Kingfisher Hollow, Alurad reports that they have disrupted his plan to create armies of undead for our cause. Thankfully, his plans will be able to continue after this minor setback.

The latest interference occurred yesterday at my training facility in Sasserine. As you know, I have recruited a new set of trainees to become wise in the ways of trap-setting, ambush, hand-to-hand combat, and torture. The abandonned brothel, the Lotus Dragon, has been perfect for this endeavor. We have been able to select from the city”s downtrodden blackjack online certain test subjects who will not be missed. Most recently, the Mayor of Cauldron came to my attention as he was investigating the background of our own Lord Vhalantru. My trainees captured him, and we spent a few days practicing terror and torture on this weakling.

The Divas showed uncanny resources to penetrate my stronghold. Despite the many traps, the minions, and the secret doors, the door burst open to the torture chamber. Right on target, the slashing blades swung down and cut through the half-dragon. I saw her sink to her knees before the door shut and the blades re-set. I ordered the nearest trainee to give the Mayor one last slap for good measure. The door opened again, and the red-haired sorceress was laying down opening the door with her staff. The blades came down again, but the cursed trainees had placed them for standing invaders. The new gnome of the party crouched down and threw something in the room. Suddenly the room was in flames.

I burst through the door to take on the Divas myself. I picked up the gnome and threw him out of the way. After goring the half-dragon, slashing the gypsy, enduring the pesky bites and claws from the bear, and the sound lances from the sorceress, it seemed time to move on. By this time, the fire had spread through the building, and I could hear the floor collapsing behind me. I ran through the burning wall, jumped to the ground, rolled to put the fire out, and ran a few blocks. Two potions of cure moderate wounds later, I ended my rage, and made my way to my lodgings.

I hope my tale serves to convince you of the need to eliminate these heroes once and for all. The good news is that the fire completely consumed the building along with any evidence that may incriminate us. And the Mayor of Cauldron certainly perished in the blaze as well. I look forward to our summit in Cauldron in two days.

Signed,

Gau
