Roleplay Story

After crossing the lake and approaching the tower, a kobold comes out with a large piece of paper. "This tower is under the ownership of Pivnist the dragon, however his horde has outgrown this meager shelter, so in exchange for entertainment and concession he will vacate." In reality the dragon is playing them, using demands, illusion, and trickery to con the teams into killing and robbing each other, then picking off the survivors with his kobolds.

Having expended their porters and peasants to each other thinking the opposing teams were attacking kobolds and exhaustion from tourneys and in-fighting, Broton negotiated all of the dragon's requests for the kingdom of Polaris, whom will lease the tower to Fuzz, who gifts it to Eevee. The dragon invites Eevee in, only to attempt to swallow him whole, but in a fierce battle, Eevee slayed the fiend and claims his new post. The kobolds scatter, and upon inspection, the majority of the dragon's horde has escaped... ...for now.
