Episode 2: Onwards and Upwards! A new ally appears!

**Episode 2: Onwards and Upwards! A new ally appears!** is the second session of The Curse of The Dark Dragon campaign and the second episode of the story.

## Plot

The session starts where the last session left off. Azuma, Iris and Yuu are laughed at by the creature, who introduces himself as Manticore, before flying off on Dragonic Wings. A group of Lizard Men, called Lizark’s, and a humanoid made of Animus, known as a Faceless, charge forwards for a fight. Meanwhile, a group of Lizark has appeared near Meiko and Daniel at the blacksmith shop. The Lizark all attack the players, who take heavy damage to start with.\* *Eventually, the players use their new powers to fight back. Azuma become Kamen Rider Azumi, Iris becomes Kamen Rider Kamaki, Yuu becomes Kamen Rider Darling, Meiko becomes Kamen Rider Rein and Daniel becomes Kamen Rider Lycan. The riders then start to fight back. The Faceless eventually begins its quest to find a Source Stone to power up, eventually finding a Yellow one and absorbing it into its own body, becoming spiked and crystalline, meanwhile Rein and Lycan struggle against the onslaught of attacks against them. As if like magic, a hole opens up above them and a new person drops out of the sky, landing with a heroic pose, Kamen Rider Emrys. “Sa, Showtime da”. The riders, now with a new ally, fight off the monsters before the energy from within the Advanced Faceless seeps into their Drivers. They use the new power and each perform a powerful finisher, destroying the Lizark’s, but the Faceless manages to run off.*

*Following the Faceless back towards the Blacksmith, Azumi, Kamaki and Darling eventually meet up with Rein, Lycan and Emrys. After becoming covered in crystals, the monster starts to evolve; being broken out by Emrys’ magic, revealing Sanmel, the Camel Monster. The riders get trapped within a box made of sand walls, created by Sanmel, except for Lycan. They all perform powerful attacks on it, including Emrys unleashing the powers of the Secret Calibur’s, his own cheat weapon. To finish things off, Lycan pushes his way through the wall with his Armed Shield buckle, before utilising the Shield Strike to finish the monster and acquire its Yellow Source Stone. Along with this, he finds a mission box on the ground, holding the Boost Buckle.* *Detransforming, the players are introduced to Azure Kitai, the 6th hero summoned to this world. He joins up with Daniel and Meiko, following them to their own goals whilst the other 3 heroes continue back to the Adventures Guild to find the lost cat that they had accepted the mission to find.*
