[[Continue|begin]]Groovy. Let's get started.<br>
[[Continue|begin]]Since the dawn of time, the barbarians of Azmar have been blessed with the power to change their form at will. Each of the original barbarian clans was aligned with a unique species of animals: to the North, skinchangers took the forms of wolves; to the South, tigers; in the East, barbarians had the ability to shapeshift into dragons; and, it is rumored, barbarians in the West could transform into fiery phoenixes.<br>
[[Continue|p2]]Skinchangers were revered among the lesser mortals, and were often called upon to deliver aid in times of need. But that all changed when the monsters from the stars arrived.<br>
[[Continue|p3]]The aliens captured the skinchangers and twisted their spirits. They tortured the barbarians and consumed their essence, gaining the ability to shapeshift themselves. These space-faring monsters came to be known as Shyfters.<br>
[[Continue|p4]]Distraught, the Allfather revived the spirits of the greatest skinchanging warriors and sent them to battle the wicked Shyfters. A Great Tiger Spirit, a Powerful Dragon Spirit, and an Immortal Phoenix Spirit waged a terrible war against the Shyfters from their castle in the Heavens.<br>
[[Continue|insert]]You are one of the Four Great Wolf Spirits. Your name is Silver Wolf. Along with your brother, Iron Wolf, and your sisters, Ember Wolf and Jade Wolf, you have sworn to protect the mortal world. Shrines have been built in your honor, and your names are spoken with reverence across the land.<br>
[[Continue|p7]]Your adventure begins in the ruins of an ancient tower, where you’ve been called upon to slay a wicked Minotaur who is rumored to be resurrecting the dead for evil purposes...<br>
[[Continue|p8]]Iron Wolf:
This place reeks of death. We must be near the beast’s chambers.<br>
[[I thought we’d never escape from those arachnid monsters. What were those things?|arachs]]
[[Ember Wolf, have you disabled all the traps?|trapsdis]]
[[What kind of Minotaur has this much power? I’ve never known a Minotaur who can raise the dead.|rasietheded]]
[[We should continue into the depths of this castle.|continuedep]]Jade Wolf:
Deathstalkers. I've heard rumors about such creatures, but I never imagined they were real. Shapeshifting is a power reserved only for the spirits...<br>
[[Continue|irontss]]Ember Wolf:
The way ahead is clear. The traps were cleverly hidden, but I disarmed them all. Nothing out of the ordinary- spike pits, swinging pendulum blades, hidden darts, collapsing walls- the typical evil dungeon traps. Whoever is running this place certainly isn’t the brains of the operation.<br>
[[I thought we’d never escape from those arachnid monsters. What were those things?|arachs]]
[[What kind of Minotaur has this much power? I’ve never known a Minotaur who can raise the dead.|rasietheded]]
[[We should continue into the depths of this castle.|continuedep]]Iron Wolf:
It is extremely unusual. Minotaurs aren’t a species known to use magic. I sense a greater evil at play here.<br>
[[I thought we’d never escape from those arachnid monsters. What were those things?|arachs]]
[[Ember Wolf, have you disabled all the traps?|trapsdis]]
[[We should continue into the depths of this castle.|continuedep]]You descend a flight of stairs into the darkness of the castle’s cellars. The farther down you go, the hotter it gets. Finally you enter a cavern filled with bubbling lava. A crumbling stone bridge extends across the molten river.<br>
[[Continue|lala]]But their strength was not enough, and so the Allfather raised Four Great Wolf Spirits. Together they fought the Shyfters and drove them from Azmar for good. The shapeshifting spirits vowed to protect the mortal world and to keep it safe from the eventual return of the Shyfters.<br>
[[Continue|p6]]Iron Wolf:
A Deathstalker’s power doesn’t come from the Allfather, as ours does. Their magic comes from a place of great evil. Those vermin are the spawn of Shyfters.<br>
[[I thought we defeated the Shyfters thousands of years ago?|defethosuh]]
[[Ember Wolf, have you disabled all the traps?|trapsdis]]
[[What kind of Minotaur has this much power? I’ve never known a Minotaur who can raise the dead.|rasietheded]]
[[We should continue into the depths of this castle.|continuedep]]Jade Wolf:
We did. But if Iron Wolf is right, then we could be in serious trouble. Shapeshifting spiders can only mean one thing... the Shyfters have returned, and their power is growing.<br>
[[Ember Wolf, have you disabled all the traps?|trapsdis]]
[[What kind of Minotaur has this much power? I’ve never known a Minotaur who can raise the dead.|rasietheded]]
[[We should continue into the depths of this castle.|continuedep]]Ember Wolf:
Its skin is falling off in patches! You can see the beast’s tendons beneath its ragged fur. If I didn’t know any better I’d say this creature is another one of the undead!<br>
[[If that is the case, then whoever summoned it is an incredibly powerful spellcaster.|spelkjv]]
[[Perhaps we can reason with the brute?|reasonwith]]
[[Kill that abomination!|akilksnf]]Krogar:
So! You’ve finally arrived, eh? It certainly took you long enough. I’ve been standing in this dramatic pose for over an hour now... my arm is really starting to get sore.<br>
[[What are you supposed to be?|sumofuhg]]
[[Tell me why I shouldn’t end your miserable existence right now.|sumofuhg]]<div style="text-align: center;">\
Roll a 4 or higher to defeat Krogar!<br>
</div>\
[[ROLL|tryroll]]Iron Wolf:
Can we continue our anatomy lesson another time? We need to figure out how to deal with this thing.<br>
[[Perhaps we can reason with the brute?|reasonwith]]
[[Kill that abomination!|reasonwith]]Krogar laughs and sucks out the knight’s soul. He tosses the armored carcass into the lava, where it sizzles away. Your siblings drop into fighting stances.<br>
[[Continue|kkkkrokkg]]Krogar:
I am Krogar the Dreadnaught! My power cannot be matched! I eat nails for breakfast and devour souls for dinner!<br>
[[Vile brute! I’ll send you back to Avernus!|akilksnf]]
[[Are you the one summoning the undead?|sumofuhgz]]Krogar:
Me? A summoner? Nay! I serve the dark one, who brought me back from my dreamless slumber. I am his most powerful general. He sent me here to test your mettle, and to learn what I could of your abilities.<br>
[[Who is your master?|whomast]]
[[Wolf Spirits, attack!!|akilksnf]]Krogar:
My master is a powerful Shyfter. He calls himself Lord Hawk. Soon this world will crumble and all will bow before his might!<br>
[[Can we convince you to... I don’t know, go home and not take over the world?|gohome]]
[[Vile brute! I’ll send you back to Avernus!|akilksnf]]Krogar:
Fool! Do you think I sucked out that knight’s soul in front of you because I'm a nice guy who can be reasoned with? NO! I had to show you how powerful I am before we fight. But enough talk! Defend yourselves!<br>
[[Enter Combat|akilksnf]]Krogar:
You are too late, Wolf. While you have been down here fighting with me, Lord Hawk has gathered an even greater force to himself. Undead will rise across the land... and once Lord Hawk has taken control of the mortal realm, the Heavens will feel his fury. The walls of the Jade Palace will crumble beneath the onslaught of Lord Hawk’s armies! You have already lost!<br>
[[Continue|kill]]You stab your blade through the brute’s heart in a burst of fiery passion. The monster’s body dissolves into dust and blows away. Jade Wolf heaves out a sigh of exhaustion.<br>
[[Continue|jeadyei]]Jade Wolf:
We should have tried to take him alive. The brute may have been able to provide more information.<br>
[[I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me. I must have gotten caught up in the heat of the moment.|heatofmoment]]
[[That beast deserved to die. We must be strong if we're going to fight Shyfters. Compassion has no place in this fight.|nocomp]]A hideous, decaying Minotaur stands on a platform in the center of the molten goo, surrounded by the corpses of a dozen knights. The beast is clutching a struggling knight by the throat, lifting him high off the ground.<br>
[[What is that thing? It’s twice the size of any Minotaur I’ve ever seen!|twicethe]]
[[Perhaps we can reason with the brute?|reasonwith]]

I have an alternative. It may not lead to anything, but it’s possible that the Wind Dukes could provide answers to our questions. They see all that transpires in the mortal world from their floating sky castles.<br>
[[Continue|option3]]Jade Wolf:
A third option would be to seek out the Allfather himself. I know he’s busy, but if the Shyfters have returned he should know about it. What do you think we should do, Silver Wolf?<br>

You have outmatched me. It is clear that I cannot defeat you and your companions together. And yet... there is something different about you, isn't there? You're not like the other wolf spirits. They like to play by the rules, but you... you are a wild brute. You play by your own rules.<br>

[[Slaughtering peasants]]
[[Training the Dreadnaughts to act as generals]]Cities burn and towns fall as you and Lord Hawk sweep across the land, slaughtering all in your path. By the time word of your attack reaches the other wolves, it is already too late. Each slain corpse becomes a new addition to the tower of bodies that will soon stretch up to the Heavens themselves.<br>
[[Continue|oneday]]Since you killed Krogar, Lord Hawk's army has been without a general. However, you've taken it upon yourself to train new generals from the ranks of Dreadnaughts. The most promising of these undead beasts is a warrior named Durak. He quickly becomes your favorite protege, and is soon entrusted to lead half of the undead army himself.<br>
[[Continue|oneday]]After several months you and Lord Hawk have amassed a great enough force that you can finally challenge the army of the Jade Palace. You only need to conquer one more city in order to have everything you need. You meet with Lord Hawk and his general Durak to discuss your plans.<br>
[[Continue|theplants]]Durak:
I have chosen three locations for our final conquest. We won't have time to attack all three, so we'll need to choose one. Each has its own benefits and disadvantages.<br>
[[Option 1|begkjth]]Durak:
The first option is Moonbright. It is a small farming village, but it is completely defenseless. Slaughtering the peasants and adding them to our ranks will be simple.<br>
[[Option 2]]Durak:
The second option is Irongate. The city is heavily fortified since that is where the mortal king holds his throne, but the city is vast. If we conquer Irongate, our army would nearly double in size! Taking the city will be difficult, but the reward would be enormous.<br>
[[Option 3]]Durak:
The final option is the desert city of Mirage. It is the southern stronghold of the Elves, but there is great magic there. The Elf Sages live in Mirage, but if we could harness the power of their magic, we would have a much easier time defeating the Heavenly guards. Which city should we conquer?<br>
[[Moonbright]]
[[Irongate]]
[[Mirage]]Lord Hawk:
A wise decision, Silver Wolf. Moonbright will be no match for your power. I want you to lead this assault on your own. I have great faith in you. I know you will not fail me.<br>
