{{TErow| 1 | Intro|I always thought I would be a powerful noble one day.  Taking [[Rauric]]'s Lands was only the first step.  But I thought it wouldn't be possible 'til I was old, like 26 or 27.  The Vial changes all my calculations.  Whoever transforms into the Dragon will be able to muscle into the highest ranks of [[Nighon]] nobility.}}
=== Starting options ===
{{TErow| 1 | Intro (cont)|[[General Miah]] will take command of the troops in my old staging area (and new castles) near the access to the [[Deep Caverns]].  He should be able to make things tough on any Lords trying to follow me, by raiding them, killing their scouts, laying false trails and stomping any overly bold Lords.  Meanwhile I'll take a small force and setup a camp in the [[Deep Caverns]] near where my scouts saw some of [[Ordwald]]'s troops.  A small force should be able to slip in without being noticed by anyone.}}
*Give {{An|Endless Purse of Gold}} to {{H|Mutare|0=}}
{{TErow| 2 | Scouting Report 1st Castle|War Diary:  Today some of my scouts reported [[Ordwald]]'s troops hold a castle to the West.  They are flying a blue banner.  They say there are four passages leading to the castle.  Wild monsters block each passage.  The scouts don't believe my forces have been spotted yet.}}
*Build [[Labyrinth]] at Main Town ({{town|Dungeon}} at 98, 99, 0)
{{TErow| 5 | Campaign Journal 1|War Diary:  I imagine [[Ordwald]]'s troops near here are picket or screening troops.  As soon as I take them out he'll know I'm in the [[Deep Caverns]].  Getting the Vial first is why I'm here, but I don't think [[Ordwald]] is going to let me walk up and take it without a fight.}}
*Give 1 {{Cn|Red Dragon|name=Red Dragon}} to {{H|Mutare|0=}}
{{TErow| 17 | Scout Report River|War Diary:  Today my scouts reported that further on to the west past the first enemy castle and a border guard is an underground river.  The river appears to be the only exit from these series of caverns.  My Master of Scouts is convinced [[Ordwald]]'s armies passed through here about 6 to 8 months ago.}}
{{TErow| 24 | Scout report prison|War Diary:  My scouts found a prison along the river today.  A warlock named [[Alamar]] is imprisoned there.  He is willing to join the side of anyone who frees him.  He says he will also contribute his [[Endless Bag of Gold]] to his rescuer.}}
{{TErow| 31 | Campaign Journal 2|War Diary:  I talked to the castle's Barkeep the other day.  After tossing him a few gold and tickling him under his chin with my dagger, he told me an interesting story.  Apparently there are rumors of a new type of [[dragon]] called a "Fay" or [[Faerie Dragon|"Faerie" Dragon]].  They apparently have the soul of a [[leprechaun]]}}
{{TErow| 31 | Campaign Journal 2 (cont)|and the power of a normal dragon.  I was fascinated.  I love my [[Red and Black Dragons]] and even the [[Green and Gold Dragons|Green and Gold]] ones respond well to me (too bad they live in the [[Bright Lands]]).  I wonder if my affinity would work with these [[Faerie Dragon|Fairy Dragons]]?}}
{{TErow| 38 | Campaign Journal 3|War Diary:  Certain resources seem scarce in this part of the [[Deep Caverns]].  I haven't been able to locate any Gem or Crystal mines.  No sulfur dunes either, but at least the [[dungeon]] castles have resource silos.  I hate having to deal with Merchants.  I'd kill them all, but then who would trade with me?}}
{{TErow| 63 | Campaign Journal 4|War Diary:  I've been thinking about the magical plain areas containing trees and other [[Bright Lands|Bright Land]] things.  I wonder if I could relocate some [[Green and Gold Dragons|Green or Gold Dragons]] into those areas.  It would be some consolation for these areas' hideous green color.  Plants should be brown not green.}}
{{TErow| 74 | Campaign Journal 5|War Diary:  I have to wonder if the [[Dragon Father|Father of All Dragons]] may have once lived in the [[Deep Caverns]].  That would be a worthy quest - finding the [[Dragon Father|Father of Dragons]].  I think he might still live, maybe sleeping through the eons.  It could be something I do when I get old.}}
{{TErow| 84 | Campaign Journal 6|War Diary:  Good commanders have to plan for all the things that might happen.  That way whatever happens, you can still win or at least survive your defeat.  [[Rauric]] did not understand that.  Which is why I killed him so easily and took his lands.  If [[Ordwald]] gets the Vial first, I may be forced to flee [[Nighon]].}}
{{TErow| 99 | Campaign Journal 7|War Diary:  [[Miah]] sent a message that three powerful [[Nighon]] Lords are heading for the [[Nighon Borderlands|Borderlands]].  Apparently, they have heard about the Vial.  I can't win if I get caught between them and [[Ordwald]], unless I have the Vial.  Still, it will take time for them to find the way down here and find me.}}

Prologue[edit | hide | hide all]

MutareMutare Mutare: I have found Ordwald. He is close to the vial, but his conservative actions and slow thinking leaves the way open for me to surpass him. As much as I must worry about Ordwald, I must consider the vial. Once I have passed him, there is the vial, and no doubt, it will have guardians... dragon guardians.

Scenario[edit | hide]

Timed events[edit | hide]

Day Title Message
Day 1 Intro I always thought I would be a powerful noble one day. Taking Rauric's Lands was only the first step. But I thought it wouldn't be possible 'til I was old, like 26 or 27. The Vial changes all my calculations. Whoever transforms into the Dragon will be able to muscle into the highest ranks of Nighon nobility.
Day 1 Intro (cont) General Miah will take command of the troops in my old staging area (and new castles) near the access to the Deep Caverns. He should be able to make things tough on any Lords trying to follow me, by raiding them, killing their scouts, laying false trails and stomping any overly bold Lords. Meanwhile I'll take a small force and setup a camp in the Deep Caverns near where my scouts saw some of Ordwald's troops. A small force should be able to slip in without being noticed by anyone.
Day 2 Scouting Report 1st Castle War Diary: Today some of my scouts reported Ordwald's troops hold a castle to the West. They are flying a blue banner. They say there are four passages leading to the castle. Wild monsters block each passage. The scouts don't believe my forces have been spotted yet.
Day 5 Campaign Journal 1 War Diary: I imagine Ordwald's troops near here are picket or screening troops. As soon as I take them out he'll know I'm in the Deep Caverns. Getting the Vial first is why I'm here, but I don't think Ordwald is going to let me walk up and take it without a fight.
Day 17 Scout Report River War Diary: Today my scouts reported that further on to the west past the first enemy castle and a border guard is an underground river. The river appears to be the only exit from these series of caverns. My Master of Scouts is convinced Ordwald's armies passed through here about 6 to 8 months ago.
Day 24 Scout report prison War Diary: My scouts found a prison along the river today. A warlock named Alamar is imprisoned there. He is willing to join the side of anyone who frees him. He says he will also contribute his Endless Bag of Gold to his rescuer.
Day 31 Campaign Journal 2 War Diary: I talked to the castle's Barkeep the other day. After tossing him a few gold and tickling him under his chin with my dagger, he told me an interesting story. Apparently there are rumors of a new type of dragon called a "Fay" or "Faerie" Dragon. They apparently have the soul of a leprechaun
Day 31 Campaign Journal 2 (cont) and the power of a normal dragon. I was fascinated. I love my Red and Black Dragons and even the Green and Gold ones respond well to me (too bad they live in the Bright Lands). I wonder if my affinity would work with these Fairy Dragons?
Day 38 Campaign Journal 3 War Diary: Certain resources seem scarce in this part of the Deep Caverns. I haven't been able to locate any Gem or Crystal mines. No sulfur dunes either, but at least the dungeon castles have resource silos. I hate having to deal with Merchants. I'd kill them all, but then who would trade with me?
Day 63 Campaign Journal 4 War Diary: I've been thinking about the magical plain areas containing trees and other Bright Land things. I wonder if I could relocate some Green or Gold Dragons into those areas. It would be some consolation for these areas' hideous green color. Plants should be brown not green.
Day 74 Campaign Journal 5 War Diary: I have to wonder if the Father of All Dragons may have once lived in the Deep Caverns. That would be a worthy quest - finding the Father of Dragons. I think he might still live, maybe sleeping through the eons. It could be something I do when I get old.
Day 84 Campaign Journal 6 War Diary: Good commanders have to plan for all the things that might happen. That way whatever happens, you can still win or at least survive your defeat. Rauric did not understand that. Which is why I killed him so easily and took his lands. If Ordwald gets the Vial first, I may be forced to flee Nighon.
Day 99 Campaign Journal 7 War Diary: Miah sent a message that three powerful Nighon Lords are heading for the Borderlands. Apparently, they have heard about the Vial. I can't win if I get caught between them and Ordwald, unless I have the Vial. Still, it will take time for them to find the way down here and find me.

Rumors[edit | hide]

Title Message
Rust Dragons Supposedly somewhere in the Deep Caverns are a new type of Dragon called a Rust Dragon. This dragon is supposed to be more powerful than a Black Dragon.
Crystal Dragon There is said to be a strange type of Dragon guarding a great treasure in the Deep Caverns. The dragon is supposedly made of crystal.
