Second half of Game Nine of Eleven, May 19, 2002, Game 816. DM: Mojo’s Player</strong> </p><p></p><p>March 27, 1019:</p><p></p><p>Ilma and all forty-seven of the other characters are back on what is assumed to be the elemental plane of air. She takes the seven pieces of the Rod and announces that she will reassemble it and dispel the curse. “Dispel the curse?” Serita inquires. “Great, I get to be dirty again,” states Duegar. “Not that curse,” says Cassie, adding “And cleanliness isn’t a curse.” “Says you,” Duegar replies.</p><p></p><p>As soon as the final two pieces of the Rod are put together another figure appears beside Ilma. The man is familiar to Kharole, Mark, Narg, and Serita, who announce to the others that it appears to be King Kohlorahdooh, who the four had helped to slay fourteen years earlier. Vallessa has also met the man before, and detests him, as his original rise to power thirty-eight years earlier was through a military coup during which three of her first-husband’s nephews were slain. </p><p></p><p>Kohlorahdooh kisses Ilma, which then causes her flesh to dissolve, her wings to wilt and she, then bursts into flames. The flames then dissipate, leaving an undead charred husk, who Kohlorahdooh declares is now a Lich that is under his control. He says “I’ll be taking that” and takes the Rod from her. He then turns to the party, saying “I’ve missed you all so much.”</p><p></p><p>Serita exclaims “How can you be here. Twelve years ago your body was teleported into the sun.” He immediately burst into flames, which then extinguishes, with him resuming him more human form. He states “That man Pyro did thrown me into the sun, but to a location where there was a gate to the Elemental Plane of Fire, where I travelled and merged with a Fire Elemental.” “Sounds more like you fell into a Soap Opera,” Toshiro comments. Kohlorahdooh also indicates that they are now actually on the Elemental Plane of Fire. </p><p></p><p>“And you’ve just been waiting around for us since then?” asks Narg. Kohlorahooh replies “Not exactly. I’ve had a few run-ins with your friends at Liebercrantz since that time. Things didn’t work out quite as I had planned.” “Yeah, yeah, we’ve heard that one before,” states Kim-Sung, “The whole plan would have worked if it wasn’t for those stupid kids and that dog.” This comment naturally leads to a side discussion about the old Scooby-Doo cartoons. </p><p></p><p>Kohlorahdooh explains who he was not able to return to this world until he received magical assistance from Mordenkainen, as he used the Anti-Magic Sphere to dispel the magical confinement he was in at another plane. Narg mutters “Mordenkainen! I think I’m going to resurrect him just so that I can kill him again!” </p><p></p><p>Kohlorahdooh declares that he is back to take his rightful place as King of Phlooredah. Narg replies “Damn it! Just once I’d like to be able to go six months without an evil megalomanic showing up….no offense.” Kohlorahdooh ignores him, and continues to ramble on about how he should be ruler, adding “And I hope you don’t think that you will be able to stop me.” Biz says to Jon “How many modules have we played?” Jon replies “This is Module #105.” Narg turns to Kohlorahdooh and says “Look, I have it on great authority that our group is 105 and 0, so why don’t you just surrender now.” </p><p></p><p>The villan replies “And what would you rather do? Try to kill me or save the life of your Queen?” “You mean we get a choice?” Blip exclaims. Vallessa says “Hmm, that’s a tough one, give me a few minutes to think it over.” “Why do you want to kill Jennifer?” Serita asks. The villain answers “Weren’t you listening? I want to be King. Then again, I suppose I could kill her husband and take her as my wife, then I would be the King again.” “Kill Matthan? Okay, now you’re on to something,” Narg comments. Mojo exclaims “Hey! She’s my little bit of adultery, you go find your own!”</p><p></p><p>Narg says “Why don’t you give us a few minutes to disucss this.” “There’s nothing to discuss,” Vallessa exclaims. “The only answer is that you should die. You killed my former husband’s nephews!” “Oh, it’s you,” the villain says to her, adding a few insults. Narg yells “Hey, she’s my fiance.” “Always one for damaged goods, eh Narg,” the villain says to him. </p><p></p><p>Kohlorahdooh states “Decide now, Matthan or Jennifer, or I’ll just have to go kill her myself.” Vallessa says to Narg “We can’t let him kill Jennifer. She’s in our wedding party in five weeks. He replies “Yeah, your right. Do you know how hard it would be to get somebody else to stand in on such short notice.” Narg convinces both the villain and his sidekick to pop out. Once they are gone Vallessa says “You’re not serioously considering doing what he wants?” Vallessa states. Narg says “Of course not. You always lie to megalomaniacts to make them tell you their plans.” </p><p></p><p>The villains pop back in, saying “Well, what have you decided?” “We’re still talking it over, give us some more time,” Narg answers. “Since when are you so hesitant about killing Kings?” the villain answers. “Some Kings make better targets than others,” Serita states, staring icily at Kohlorahdooh. He replies to her “You didn’t hesitate with Toronas.” “He wasn’t a King, just a King’s brother,” she replies. Vallessa whispers to Narg in a serious voice “We need to talk about that later.”</p><p></p><p>Narg tries to get some more details from Kohlorahdooh about his long-term plans. He explains the multiple layers of his villainy and plans for world domination. “I get it. It’s kinda like a parfait,” states Duegar (again, always thinking of food). Narg asks for some more time to discuss this. The villains pop out.</p><p></p><p>Syrendel gets an idea, and communicates via the space helmet microphones to Alton, Lono, Min-Mae, and Ron Luther X5-0135. She says “He’s probably eavesdropping on their conversation, but I doubt he can hear us, let’s do something about him and the winged Hillary Clinton when he pops back. The five decide to fire their laser weapons into the bad guy as soon as he pops back, and move around to get in better firing positions (and also so they won’t hit any allies if they miss).</p><p></p><p>The villains return, and the five immediately let loose with their laser weapons. Alton, Lono and Ron all miss, but both Min-Mae and Syrendel hit him. Unfortunately, neither shot penetrates him, but deflecting off of him and into the Lich. “Did you enjoy that?” the villain asks. Narg says “Hey they had to try, but they did that without my orders.” “Your orders?” states Serita, “Who died and left you king.” “I think the real problem here is one too few dead kings” Isaiah states. Narg says “Give us a few minutes more.” “Very well, but you need to bring me either Matthan or Jennifer’s head. Decide quickly.” The two pop out again.</p><p></p><p>Vallessa says “Well How about if we agree to that. He never said WHEN we have to bring it to him. According to what our unborn child said to you she dies in another fifty-one years. Why don’t we just wait until then to bring it to him?” “Like he’s gonna go for that,” states Narg.</p><p></p><p>The villains again return, saying “Time’s up.” Narg says “Okay, we’ll all go do that, send us back home.” The villain says “Yeah, right, decide who is going.” “We all are,” Cassie states. “As if I can trust you,” Kohlorahdooh says. “A group of say….oh, seven, should go. The rest stay here as my hostages to make sure you do what you are supposed to.” </p><p></p><p>Vallessa says “Well, Jennifer would be expecting to see Narg and myself, so we’ll go.” Cassie, Duegar, Kim-Sung, Lannon and Mark also volunteer. Before they leave Vallessa and Fiona head off for a private conversation. When they return Kohlorahdooh says "Keeping secrets?" Fiona replies "Girl talk." (which the whole group laughs about, as both female characters are played by male players). </p><p></p><p>Duegar asks "Wait a second. You want us to kill the King, but then that would make you the King, so wouldn't that just cause others to kill you?" Duegar gets and idea, and runs over to the Lich, giving her a big hug. He says "Everything I touch turns clean, this should cure her." Nothing happens, other than a piece of her wing breaking off. Kohlorahdooh looks to Narg and says "You let just anybody in these days don't do?" Narg shrugs. </p><p></p><p>The group gets another idea, and offers to send a second group to go deal with Matthan simultaneous to the first group going to Jennifer. Kohlorahdooh agrees to this.

Kohlorahdooh teleports the first group to the City of Karjjil Valley in Thenossia. The teleportation is very weird, leaving them all temporarily disoriented.</p></blockquote><p></p>
