The Gamers: Dorkness Rising Page #7

Synopsis: All Lodge wants is for his gaming group to finish their adventure. Unfortunately, they're more interested in seducing barmaids, mooning their enemies, and setting random villagers on fire. Desperate to rein in his players, Lodge injects two newbies into the distrust: a non-player character controlled by Lodge, who the power gamers immediately distrust, and the rarest gamer of all -- a girl. Can the group overcome their bickering to save the kingdom, or will the evil necromancer Mort Kemnon triumph unopposed? A parody of fantasy films and the adventure gaming community, The Gamers: Dorkness Rising is a hilarious romp through the world of sword and sorcery -- in this case, a world of exploding peasants, giant house cats, and undead roast turkeys. Game on!

I ressurected the glory of the light!

And only I am deserving of the power of Therin!

Now...kneel before your new god!!

You have betrayed your vows and your goddess.

She will not stand for this blasphemy. And neither will I.

Then join her in the world beyond.

Now how did that go...??

Ah, yes...

# Brings me to Therin, goddess of the light...

- # Her grace... - Goddess?

Daphne, the heart! Therin is trapped in the heart.

I am your avatar!

The light of Therin be upon you.

Rise, Daphne.

You have freed me from my prison...

...and have my thanks.

Of all your fellows it was you..

...who never strayed from the path of godness and law.

And so, as reward, I shall grant you any one wish that you desire.

No way!

Limited or unlimited?

She's a goddess, dude! It's unlimited!

You could wish for anything.

Go for levels! You could be like 20th level everything.

No, no, no, gear! Gear! You could wish for everything that is in those books.

No, no, no! Don't think small!

Wish yourself immortal. Have her to make you a goddess as well.

I wish that you bring Sir Osric back to life.

As you wish...

That was awesome!

That's beautiful.

That is so freaking stupid!

I have seen stupid decisions before but that is the single most lame retarded one ever!

You wasted an unlimited wish! On an NPC!

How about wishing for more wishes, or advancing our levels,..

..or giving us magical items.

How about wishing for more wishes, or advancing our levels,..

..or giving us magical items.

How about wishing yourself immortal first and then ressurecting him yourself?

Good god! Could have had anything!

It's what my character would have done.

You could have been a god! I know mormones that would have killed for that!

What was the paladin to us?

He's not even a real character!

We can always get more NPCs.

He's not even a real character!

We can always get more NPCs.

You waste the greatest treasure in the game on nothing but a story decision.

Should have never gotten you in.

You ruined my game! That is it!

Should have never gotten you in.

You ruined my game! That is it!

Damn it, we're gamers! Haven't you learned anything?

So....what happens next?

Rise, Flinn!

You have my thanks! You shall be my herald and spread music and peace to all my people.

Leo, you gained a level of the Cantor prestige class.

Rise, Lester.

You have my thanks.

I would have you enter my service but I cannot have an evil person...

I'm not evil! I'm chaotic neutral. Right?

No.

- You are evil and a whore. - Totally.

Gary, you can't remeber any of your spells.

What did you do to me?

I've burned away your wickedness and made you whole again.

Game terms, please.

I replaced your levels of sorcerer with equal levels of cleric.

So I have to be.....good?

Yes.

Thanks??

Where's the monk?

He is gone. He disagreed with the wisdom of my decision.

Rise, Sir Osric. I deputize thy Lord High-Marshall of my paladins.

Go forth, heroes and spread my light..

...to the dark places of the world.

So I guess that means that the campaign is over, doesn't it?

This one is, yeah.

I had a good time.

Me too. That was different....but cool.

Mostly cool. I like the way you game.

Totally in agreement here.

Well...eh...thanks. Thanks for coming out, guys.

See ya.

Thank you, Lodge.

- Waffles? - Recognized!

- Awesome! - Very cool!

And of course, everybody gets promos.

Thank you.

I've got one for Cass, since he was in the campaign.

The story doesn't end here, does it?

Oh, no, no. Check it out! I have a cool new villain lined up.

I've got it from a friend of mine. He's kind of a ninja swashbuckler.

The shadow!

The shadow?

The shadow?

The shadow?!

Hi guys! What's up, Lodge?

Eh... why don't you guys go on into the room there. I'll be right there.

You've got something published. I know you worked really hard on it.

Thanks.

I had a look at it and ...ah...it's actually pretty well balanced to tell the truth, so...

Oh, I heard that you're starting a new campaign and...ah..

..you know...I was thinking that...eh..

If...you need another player.

I could stop by from time to time.

Why the change of heart?

You know...if I win....okay...the story ends..

..and I can't avoid to keep going.

Would you like to join the group, Cass?

Hey! I'm not doing anything else, yeah!

Why don't you join the group, Cass?

Ehm..... I ah...I'll be in the back. Just...ah...I'll be in the back room.

I'am a dick!

Yes.

Yeah...

So, where does this new adventure start?

Oh, it starts about where you guys left off.

You have saved the kingdom and restored the peace.

Or have you??

I present to you Lord Osric of Whitetower.

Sit! Arise! Speak!

The mask of death! It's gone. Stolen by the shadow.

It must be recovered. Who will risk their life on this quest?

You guys just got here. Surely there's another hero in our kingdom..

..that would prefer to go in their place to certain death?

Alright...it seems unlikely.

Good luck, then. Off you go!
