Story Synopsis for Summer LARP #5 (2018)

The Great Dragon of the Realm was awake and terrorizing the local villagers and had been all week. All that lumbering, roaring, screaming, and crunching had also awoken the Great Dragon of the Island and the Great Dragon of the Woods. All three Great Dragons were hungry, cranky, and running low on snack foods. The villages were becoming severely underpopulated and condiments were in short supply.

Ace fled to the Field of Destiny, dragging the Scribe behind him. In their haste, the Scribe lost both her quill and her scroll. But still Ace was hoping to find others brave enough to face the Great Dragons and drive them back into their lairs to slumber again, even if their heroic tale would never be told, or at least not told accurately.

When they reached the Field of Destiny, they found the fearless Dark Knight and a new companion were already there gathering forces for the coming battle. Soon their hearts soared as an Assassin and a Swordfighter came charging over the hill. Then their hearts quailed as they feared the two were running from a Dragon. Fortunately, they were not. And so they all hid under the trees together, hatching a plan.

The first order of business was to recruit more brave heroes unafraid to face the Great Dragons. A great shout went out across the interdimensional communications network, and soon six more brave adventurers arrived at the Field of Destiny. The Scribe scratched their names into the dirt, but the record was later obliterated in the battles.

The battle plan was simple: divide and conquer. So the band of heroes divided into three conquering forces. Working together and independently, the adventurers tracked the Great Dragons to the Mystical Isle and attacked. After a long battle, in which many died and many were revived, the heroes managed to trap all of the Great Dragons in their lairs and seal them in for another centuries-long slumber.

Then Lord Maul, seeing that the Resistance had once again gained the upper hand, seized all their minds, and the heroes began to fight each other. The resulting epic skirmish so frightened the Scribe that she went to find a sandwich, so that’s all of the story that is known.
