This following excerpt is based on a D&D session that took place on 16th of January 2010 in the late afternoon.
The party of 4 comprises of Tas'sadar - Genasi Warlord (played by Marcus); Viona - Human Shaman (played by Alvin); Gond Oremighty - Goliath Fighter (played by Eugene); and Lucien - Human Ranger (played by Dominic).
The session continues from where the party had last fought the monsters at the carnival.
Encounter 1 – The Exotic Room
The party decide to enter the tent which resembles an arena. As they enter, they see dead bodies all over the floor. Some of them rise up and face the party, just as a Chuul and Gibbering Mouther appears out to add to the battle. And at the corner of the battle arena, on top of shelf, the party recognises a jar containing a brain. However, it seems that this jar does not seem to be able to dominate the PCs. A fierce battle ensues, but the PCs manage to defeat the enemies. Emerging victorious, the PCs sing in unison their victory as they proceed to the next tent.
Encounter 2 – The darkness of Arabel
The party enter what seems like a quarters for the carnival troupe. A 3-headed Skull Lord appears as two dread zombie myrmidons appear. However, the party decide to escape out and set the tent on fire just as the monsters creep out. As the PCs attack the monsters, the tent continues burning. The 3-headed Skull Lord was defeated swiftly and the PCs use the fire from the tent to their advantage to defeat the zombies and the lurking Dark Stalker, that decided to run for his life.
Encounter 3 – Tristessa
The PCs emerge out victorious and suddenly, the same female singer appears on stage again as music plays. Suddenly, a pair of vampires appear. The same pair that wounded the party badly - D'verne and Riyana. However, just as despiar seems to creep in as the vampires dominate the group, the female singer dominates Tas'sadar and he is dragged to a corner. She whispers something in his ears, and the group are confused as Tas'sadar does not attack her.
The situation worsens when Riyana kills Viona; and Tas'sadar does not make an effort to save Viona~!
Desperation sets in but suddenly, in the background, L'arc~en~ciel music starts to play! And, the female singer suddenly attacks Riyana and plunges a knife into her neck. She starts to scream 'Now~!'
The party suddenly realise the situation dash towards D'verne. As they attack D'verne who was stunned by the female singer's actions, she suddenly leaps into the air and cleaves D'verne into half.
Confusion rises in the air as they wonder why the female singer vampiress would want to kill the two vampires.
It is revealed that Tas'sadar had made a pact with the female vampiress to assist her on a quest to find an artist and she would vanquish the two vampires...
With some doubt and uncertainty, DMC decide to agree to the pact. However, Lucien decides to leave the party as he cannot bring himself to fight alongside the undead.
Afterword
This would be a most unexpected twist to the end of the Heroic tier adventures... And how would Mobius react knowing the latest turn of events?
What holds in store for DMC? Is Drad Mi reliable? Is Tristessa - the singer vampiress, truly an ally?
All awaits at the Paragon level adventures~!
p/s: music does add to the atmosphere
