I'm an evil DM, yes ... but I know how to make my players happy.  The PCs have gotten used to having Gaiavein in the party and she's adjusting pretty well.  However, another NPC was kidnapped by another rather EEEEEEEEEEVILLLLLLL character in Millicent's character's backstory.  A gentleman by the name of Koffman who, like the PCs, is able to send minions to planeshift and collects things he wants for him.  Had been aiming for Gaiavein, being a young, space-displaced dragon (a rare find indeed), but ended up with another character entirely.  So he arranged for a meeting between himself and the PCs on his native world.On his terms, the PCs really didn't have much of a chance and ended up getting captured.  The ones that Koffman found interesting (Gaia, <a href="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/08_05/05.jpg" target="_blank">Pojo</a>, and <a href="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/08_05/02.jpg" target="_blank">Ammut</a>) he had placed in rather nice holding cells, to be fitted with collars.  You know ... collars that prevent any of his property from escaping or attempting to kill him and stuff.The rest of the PCs and Virgil got thrown in a much less comfortable set of cells to be gotten rid of at earliest convenience.  Here Hiro, Silas, and Virgil met a new player, Ma.  D&D monk.  They manage to break out in true Player Character fashion, but if a certain Jedi hadn't been there none of them would've managed to bluff their way around that building.  Certainly not the way the four of them looked even in guard uniforms.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/08_05/22.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Meanwhile the other three got to see their cellmate across from them.  There indeed was their old acquaintence, the Winged Blaze.  The dragons from High Fantasy are rather vulnerable while polymorphed, and since Koffman had sent people to tail the PCs for a while, he saw that there was a very powerful red dragon on a world that wouldn't even exist after some time ... and through sheer luck more than anything else had collected the Winged Blaze and had a collar slapped on him.  The PCs took a strange sort of pleasure in seeing their old rival brought down soooooooooooo loooooowwwwww.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/08_05/21.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> *ahem*  Okay, so yeah ... that was a lot of text, thank you for your patience.  I can't wait to have Sahkrekal go against the party again, only because I know just how much they want a piece of him.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
