## Plot

Makemake narrates the dwarf planets’ commencement of their adventure in Kuiperia nebula, the name for where Dungeons and Dwarf Planets takes place. Each of the dwarf planets (except Makemake and debatably Charon) is given a role in the game. Eris as “Lady Erissa the Rogue”, Haumea as “Haumeus the Wizard”, and Pluto as “The Noble Hero and Paladin Sir Pluton”. As Makemake continues about what they will be facing, Pluto interrupts the game asking what a tavern is, to which Makemake replies to as a place where astral bodies hang out. The game continues with the three dwarves asking each other about their backstories. Then, a noble enters the room, and Pluto interrupts the game again asking why does the noble looks like Venus, much to the dwarf planets’ confusion.

Lord Venus then asks Sir Pluton about feelings ever since he’s banished, to which he doesn’t have an answer for. Lady Erissa decides to intervene and confidently says that she can accomplish a lot of things as a rogue, but only for an adequate amount of coin, as Haumeus watches in awe. Lord Venus then explains that his orbital castle was invaded by a malign prince, and needs some heroes to take him out, and gets to keep all the coins there. Without hesitation, Lady Erissa accepts the deal.

Sir Pluton, still not over his fear of planets, asks Lady Erissa about how she’s chill with a planet, and realizes that it could be useful for something, much to Lady Erissa’s suspicion. Pluto is then assigned to roll a dice for the perception check, to their dismay, Pluto rolls a 1. This results in Sir Pluton not remembering to search around for enemies, and is about to get ambushed by Astroloblins, very sneaky asteroids that get priority when striking. Luckily, Lady Erissa’s class is higher than the Astroloblin’s, so one Astroloblin doesn’t get to strike her. However, the other Astroloblins box them in, and Sir Pluton decides to use his sword, and manages to land a critical hit that strikes 3 Astroloblins at once. Haumeus wants to cast a spell that can deal with all the enemies around them, but Sir Pluton steps in and confidently handles them. When it’s Lady Erissa’s turn, Pluto interjects once again, which backfires on results in exhaustion when interjecting another player’s turn more than once. Sir Pluton then falls unconscious, and all 3 dwarf heroes are locked up in a prison cell.

In the cell, Eris berates Pluto for hogging all the attention, Pluto defends himself saying that he was trying to win. Makemake then tells Pluto that Dungeons and Dwarf Planets is supposed to be a team game, not a free-for-all. Back in the game, Pluto says that he doesn’t get to express himself ever since his banishment, to which Eris replies that he doesn’t have to be anything else due to them being similar to them. Meanwhile, the Astroloblins escort the heroes to their ruler: Lord Solarball, played by Sun. Lord Solarball threatens the dwarfves, but Lady Erissa realizes that they still have their weapons with them, planning on doing a sneak attack on Lord Solarball while he’s gloating. However, Pluto interrupts yet again, fearfully worrying about defeating the Sun, Eris tries to comfort him by they can do anything as long as they stick together. Pluto, however, doesn’t care. Eris expresses frustration that Pluto is taking things too seriously, and realizes that Pluto is planning on using the dwarves as an army to regain his planetary status again, exposing him. Pluto still doesn’t accept his new dwarf planet status, and with that, he storms off in a rage, with Charon following close behind. Makemake makes one final comment about the game: Because Pluto quit, their chances of winning are very minuscule now, to which Haumea and Eris nod in agreement.
