Synopsis
With Drakath defeated and the Fire Orb recovered, the Chosen goes to the encounter of Akriloth, hoping to get a reward from him. Akriloth, however, reveals his true colours—it was only a manipulation to obtain the power of the Elemental Orb—and defeats the Chosen. Determined to stop the ultra-magma dragon, the Chosen sets out to find an weapon powerful enough to defeat him and finds the Ice Scythe, guarded by an Ice Demon. The demon, however, destroys it after being defeated and te Chosen has no choice other than to pick up the pieces and hope that Yulgar may be able to fix them...

Dialogue
Akriloth: Incredible! Your human army was able to defeat Drakath, the Darkness Dragon? «You»: Aye, we defeated the Dragon and his army. But something puzzles me... you said he would be extremely powerful since he had both the Fire and Darkness Orb. I found him to be... well... pretty weak. Akriloth: *Growls* Perhaps he was unable to use the power of the Fire Orb. «You»: ... Akriloth: *Growls* The Fire Orb... I can smell it! You have the Fire Orb with you. Give it to me! Akriloth: You promised to recover it for me! give it to me now! «You»: This all seems very strange. But I was chosen the bring the Fire Orb to you. While this is against my better judgement, I did promise to give it to you. Here it is...

You give the Fire Orb to Akriloth.

Akriloth: *Roar* Haha! I cannot believe you actually brought it to me. I have been searching for hundreds of years! With this I will lead the Fire creatures to conquer the world! «You»: WHAT!? You told us that it was originally yours. You told use that we had to recover it to restore balance! Akriloth: I lied! «You»: *Gasp* You lied about everything? Akriloth: Not everything. Haha... I promised you that if you brought me the Fire Orb I would create the most powerful fire weapon the world has ever seen... and that weapon... shall be... ME!!!!!!!!!

Akriloth grows.

«You»: ... this is bad.

'''Oh no! Akriloth has used the Fire Orb to increase his power. He is now a level 300 ultra-magma dragon and is rampaging the country side! No one is able to stop him. There is still hope however... There is an ancient Ice weapon that was used to slay great Fire Dragons long ago. If you get it, you may be able to beat Akriloth. But it is guarded by an evil Frost Demon and his horde. Can you get the Ice weapon in time to stop Akriloth from destroying the world?'''

Adventurer: At last, you have arrived! We need your help to obtain the Ice Scythe. The Ice Scythe will give you the power to defeat the ultra-magma Dragon, Akriloth! Adventurer: This Ice demon and his horde of ice creatures has stolen countless ancient artifacts over the years. Amongst his stolen treasures is the Ice Scythe. It also has a very powerful special effect.... Adventurer: If you hit the Fire Dragon Akriloth with the Ice Scythe just once, it will drain his power and transfer some of his strength to you. It will make the fight fair... then you can slay that evil Dragon once and for all!
 * Ice Scythe?

Twilly: Want Twillies to heal you? It is really cold out there, be sures to stay warm with a good fire weapon!
 * Heal me!

Adventurer: I am so glad you are here. Akriloth is on the rampage agaon torching towns and attacking adventurers! We need to get this Ice Scythe so you can stop him! Adventurer: If you go on random adventures he will attack you at random. No one is safe... and no one can beat him now! We need to get this scythe thing... it is the only way to stop him.
 * Where is Akriloth now?
 * To Battle!

'''The Ice Demon who stole the Ice Scythe is hiding behind his horde of ice creatures. We will have to fight our way through them together to get the Ice Scythe. There are hundreds of Adventurers on the battlefield now that need your help!'''

After 250,000 enemies were defeated...

'''The Ice Demon is all that is left of his once mighty army... and he looks really mad about it!''' Defeat the Ice Demon and get the Ice Scythe!

Ice Demon: I stole all of my treasures fair and square! You shall never take them from me! «You»: I am only here for the Ice Scythe, so that we may defeat the Fire Dragon. Ice Demon: Never! I do not care if the entire planet is destroyed, no one is ever going to take my treasures! I have spent my entire existence lying, cheating, and stealing to get them! «You»: *Furrows brow* Innocent people are being hurt by Akriloth's rampage... you must give me the scythe so that I can defeat him.

The Ice Demon picks up the Ice Scythe.

Ice Demon: You mean this? Never! you will have to take it from me. As far as I am concerned, you and the rest of the humans can all burn! «You»: Very well then, I challenge you to a duel for the Ice Scythe! Ice Demon: Haha... a puny human like you? This should be good.


 * 1 BATTLE
 * Ice Demon

Ice Demon: *Out of breath* If I cannot have the Ice Scythe.... No one will!

The Ice Demon tosses the Ice Scythe onto the ground, breaking it.

Ice Demon: Hah... go kill your Fire Dragon with that. Ice Demon: ... *Coughs* I do not feel so good Ice Demon: Did I mention that I was keeping all of these Treasures for my Ice Dragon Master. He is going to be really mad that you took it. *collapse*

Ice Demon falls over and dies.

«You»: Just great! How are we going to defeat Akriloth now? Wait... maybe Yulgar can fix this! Yes, that's it! I will take the broken Ice Scythe to him right away.

'''You have slain the Ice Demon and recovered the Ice Scythe... well sort of.''' '''... You took the Scythe to Yulgar and he is working on it right now. It should be ready just in time for the next War night.'''

Coming soon: The Final Battle against the Fire Dragon!
