*Interlude*: You! The horde! Are now the masters of the ruins where you etablished your lair. The underground is vast with many different rooms, places and environements. Each of the members find their place they will soon call home. The most cleaver have sacked the tools and the properties of the dark sorceress. You found out that the ritual she was working on is nearly accomplished. As you say the incantation, a beautifull and tall woman materialise inside the ritual circle. Noticing her horns, her wings and her tail, you know you are in front of a Succube, a greater one. As you explain to her what is your motivations to ravage this realm, she agree to follow the horde as long as she get her share of prey. None objection and then Jezabel enter the Horde (but all will call her Jez or Jezy). In the witch stuff, you also found a strange magical stone, after few research, you find out it is the heart of a golem. You look deep inside the dunjeon for a source of malleable substance, you find a cave with a lot of argile, you craft a sculpture looking like a male human a little bit taller than the human you already meet and put the stone inside the statue. As soon as done, he begin to move, mechanically at first but more and more fluently. You explain him his reason to be: conquering the world as a member of the horde. He agrees and just stand there, waiting for other orders. One day you see a dark smoke coming from the lake, as you scout out to determine what happend, you find a Village with corpses every where... non human corpses... Some sorts of Frogmen people. You find a survivor nailed on a pole. After bringing him back to your lair and healing his wound, he tells you what happend: Milicians women comes, kill his familly and destroy his village in retaliation after mysterious disappearances. You tell him it was your fault, but he don't keep grudge against you, but toward the people who destroy his home. He accept to follow you and thus become a member of the horde by giving you his name :The-Deep-One (but everybody will call him Deepsyfrogy). As he goes back to his former village to get what he can save, the other members decide to clear some part of the underground of the ruins. They stumble upon a hidden Armory. There, they found old weapons, some too old to be used, other enchanted. In the back, seating on a throne, lay a full armor. Once inspected, you realise it canot be put on somebody because it is totally sealed, there is also a magical circle carved on the pavement stone under it. You decide to take it away from the marks... It's heavy, even Goliath have some trouble to move it, but once done the armor animate itself and greats you. Communicating by drawing on the floor, it makes you understand how people named it: The dark lord armor, and as honor comands, he will serve you and by this way become a member of the horde. Once assemble you discuss the next step to make this land your own. It appears that the dark sorceress you defeated had already a plan and collected a lot of informations about the kingdom. Her plan was not clear but she wished to improve her defence here, attack a monastery in the mountain to collect books about summoning spells and informations about the 3 Holly knights who protect the land and also enter the heart of the forest to find .. a dragon egg!
