Venger snarled as he settled himself on his throne. The wild woman had been an unpleasant surprise and she had actually injured him somewhat and now he would have to waste time healing himself. But mostly everything was going according to his plan. The impetuous Mystic had taken the false Orb his doppleganger had planted that very day in anticipation of the arrival of Dungeon Master's new pupils and now she had used it to release the equally false Guardian. The Young Ones and their new companions thought they had driven him away from his goal. The false confidence they would gain from that would make them careless. The Mystic had foolishly let the false Guardian into her mind, little knowing she would have a very difficult time expelling it again, If indeed she could do so at all. It now had her wasting herself against the now useless doppleganger. And it had taken control of that pesky Lorekeeper and was luring her into the special room he had prepared for her in the catacombs, where her power and knowledge would be denied his foes.
Venger leaned back and idly swung a clear crystal held in a golden dragons claw from the long chain he had put it on. Colors played within it even though no light struck the Orb. His face contorted in an evil smile as he watched it swing back and forth. Yes...things were going very well indeed.
