An Elder Dragon sighted in destard! Could this be true? A creature of legend thought to be a myth spotted in our very own lands?

As intrigued as most, a group of adventurers set out to see if the rumours were true. They arrive at the entrance to the dungeon Destard and take a deep breath before venturing further. To enter this dastardly place takes great courage and bravery. The dull roar heard from the outside is enough to turn away the strongest of warriors.

Taking steps into the darkness…quickly becoming engulfed by the shadows, a mage casts a simple spell to bring better vision to him and others. I can only imagine the action brings little comfort. They scout out the area and surely enough there it was, the dragon they had been searching for. For the most part it looked just as a regular dragon only with slightly darker skin, however there seemed to be an agile side to him and his presence alone was menacing.

For a while they simply ran by inspecting the beast, being bombarded by the fiery blasts as they do so. The dragon itself seemed to be doing much the same, holding his ground surveying the oncoming attack.

It was time for action…an attack was made! If nothing but to test the strength of the creature, an Evolution dragon was sent in to fight but the Elder dragon was too much for even this well trained pet and it was devoured quickly.

A new strategy was made. They try backing the beast into a corner hoping that it would show a sign of weakness, but it proves useless and he breaks through as another victim falls before this mighty opponent. Being struck down by this monstrosity must be a feeling like no other. To be willing to go through the resurrection process and return to keep fighting takes a commitment and loyalty to our lands that very few would understand.

Having failed to inflict a sizable amount of damage, they regroup and strike out again with a combination of their fearless pets and use of the mystical arts summoned forth by the mages within the group. This time they are more successful and inflict serious wounds to the beast, but quickly realize it will take much more than this to bring him down!

They ready themselves for a final attack. If they were to fail this time, I fear their souls would not be able to take much more. They strike out hard and force the beast back against the cavern wall, making him completely surrounded by his foes. He fears that he cannot fight them off again and tries to flee but our determined heroes chase him down and are swiftly rewarded by the feeling of accomplishment.

For them this would have been enough, but suddenly the ground begins to shake! The fiery depths below burst through the ground around them and from out of nowhere the spoils of war surround them! Riches worthy of their great heroism.

They leave knowing that once again a possible threat has been dealt with and a Legend set to rest for good…or so they are to believe…
