The current DM, whose game was a ripoff of the old Lucasarts game Indiana Jones and the Secret of Atlantis, was sick of running it, and asked if I would take over, as I was busy developing a module for fun (I had a very odd sense of fun).The game? Return to Kastle Kojark. Not that they had ever been to Kastle Kojark. That they could remember. The plot (such as it was) pertained that the players had stolen the Book of Ee-vil from Kojark, a powerful kobold warlord, and one who seriously holds a grudge. Kojark lured them to his kastle and told them that they had to climb to the top story and present to him the book, on his throne, as grovellingly as possible, if he was to ever let them free. The first level was a fairly standard dungeon, with kobolds riding undead construct archery platforms (from CCI), a Beast of Malar and a girdle of masculinity/femininity. The second level was a swamp, paradoxically enough, complete with giant carnivorous hamsters, dinosaurs, a homebrewed shoggoth, and a Legion of One (CCII). The third floor was the museum of constructs, all of whom were very violent. A secret passage led to the basement, where they met an insane sentient raptor, mage-hunting hounds, and a destrachan. They got out through a portal to the Plane of Mirrors, where they fought themselves and a couple of gehreleths. Out of the Mirror Realm, they fought an assassin, a few Shadowlands oni, and eventually Kojark, possessed by a demon, on the top of his tower, jagged with blades, in a hurricane.Not that any of this made a lick of sense.But still, it was jolly good fun, the PCs killed a lot of things and took their stuff, and they hated Kojark and all of his tricks, traps and monsters with a passion, even going so far as to devise great and elaborate ways to torture him on their arrival at his throne room. Sadly, when I tried bringing Kojark back as an NPC, I found I was no longer capable of his signature, Kefka-esque laugh. Damn puberty.Demiurge out.</blockquote>
