Oneshot: Kobolds Save the World

Rita: AwHell
Wayne: Kobold 426...wait...728
Bernie: Snaryl

Paralax the Lich had blighted the land for 20 years before the great adventurers rose up to stop him. For another 20 more the heroes cleaned out his dread hold level by level only to die right before stopping him. The kobolds on the first level learned that Paralax had decided to destroy all life in the world so they picked up all the magic items the adventurers left. However, each time one kobold died, they were replaced by another.

The Lich appeared to gloat and so the kobold's hid. Snaryl went straight for the device using stealth and cunning to bypass, while 426 and AwHell1 hid among-st the Orcs. The Lich figured out that they had the adventuer's items, so 426 and Awhell used a series of very powerful spells to kill the lich and those that guarded him since the Lich had his defenses down.

But they still had to take out the device.

The first room they ran into was a simple puzzle with four pillars and four elements. The trick was just to walk past it. Snaryl snuck. The others slid down the stairs in a cube of force. However, many of the number clan were killed (well...two) by a Deck of Many Things cleverly placed on the other end of the room.

The next room had a powerful dragon that they talked to instead of fighting, and managed to free. The winged iron golems were a bit more of a challenge, until they opened the door on the opposite side which had a huge amount of water come in and kill everything, including them. Snaryl was ethereal at the time.

The new 426 and AwHell Clan member swam through the next room, vast and filled with water. Snaryl managed to snag them into the etherial plane. They went through the room but fought off several ghost pirates and used fireballs and a prismatic wall to keep them at bay. They found the portal to the other side.

Awhell's gem of seeing managed to help them navigate the Lich's final maze to the device. 526 used a wish to summon a carpet which he used to circle the machine and help destroy the pylons. They all escaped and blew up the device and saved the world.

The gods rewarded them. Awhell4 became Goddess of Chaotic Good kobolds (an abomination in Kobold society). 526 became God of Fertility and Multiplication. Skarl wasn't in the mood to become a God and so became a member of the assassin's guild.
