l panel1
As boredom began to torture our Greater God, Madman, he decided to
alleviate it by harassing the foolish mortals below. Intent on proclaiming
doom and raining destruction upon the mortals, Madman offered to make 
a bet with the mortals. The bet was this, a quest for 15 items within
a 30 minute time (according to the human time keeping methods). If any
failed to complete the quest, the bet would be won by the  Master of 
Insanity, and the fate of the world would be lost. For Madman would
unleash 3 demons on the world, commanding them to destroy everything in
their paths. Only one mortal was brave, or foolish, enough to accept this
bet with Madman, Ozymandius. The fate of the known world now rested on 
the shoulders of this minotaur. 

panel2
As time progressed,  Ozymandius was nearing completion of the quest, despite
the hindrances of Grymm along the way, who was trying to kill Ozymandius
that he may obtain the items and win the bet. However, a lack of items
and an utter lack of time sentenced the world to death by the hands of
the demons. Ozymandius had lost, and thereby doomed everyone.

panel3
After news of three demons terrorizing the nearby forest of Hahn Dor and 
Hovelton, the city of the Halflings, many mortals ran for their lives,
and quit. Still a few brave (or oblivious) souls remained. The demons
began their tirade throughout the land, unopposed, until a Paladin of
Ath named Erond came back from a long sojourn to face the demons.

panel4
In a  quick and well fought battle, Erond laid waste to the fire demon,
leaving only two demons, the shadow and storm demon. Now it was the 
demons' turn to avenge their fallen brother by claiming the lives of
some mortals. Their first victim was Taraseeva, who fell in a glorious
yet futile battle. Jimi, a young mage of the Dark Mist, was the next to
feel the wrath Ozymandius had unleashed. Next, Tokugawa, then Taraseeva
again. At this point, it appeared the demons had won. Madman was insanely
happy.

panel5
Then along came Alexander, Hero and Slayer of all Evil. Tel's faithful
cleric, learning of the demons' massacre of innocents, vowed to rid
the world of the demons and save the world, as every good hero should
do. Tuning into the local gossip, Alexander heard there was a demon 
hunting another minotaur known only by Mars. Mars had reported being
hold up in the temple of Midgaard, while the shadow demon waited for
him to leave. Once Alexander arrived to the temple he ordered those
there to follow him, so that the demon would fall. A small group of
brave souls lead by Alexander, consisting of Mars and the Paladin of
Jaxxon, Dirkstrom, then went out to face the demon. 

panel6
In a short battle, Alexander quickly vanquished the foe, while Mars
took the brunt of the attack, and a young evil warrior named Flir
landed the final kick which killed the demon, and startled the young
ogre. 

panel7
Leaving Mars behind to recruit a shaman to bag the demon corpse, 
our hero, Alexander and the faithful paladin Dirkstrom, headed off
to find the last demon before it killed again. Frustrated by their
fruitless searching our heros began to ask the local gossips for
any demon sightings. Then the haughty demon decided to taunt Alexander,
issuing a challenge to the student of Lazarus. However, before 
Alexander had decided to accept, the demon had found another mortal
to attack. A former follower of Tel, now among  Psykill's fold, Pixel
an alert and crafty thief had stumbled upon the last demon. Pixel,
with the quickness of a true thief, fled and lured the storm demon
into the Adventurer's Guild where Alexander and Dirkstrom would meet it.

panel8
In the Guild, a band of mercenaries and evils formed to try to dispel
the demon from the guild, unknowing of Alexander and Dirkstrom's vow
to rid the guild of the demons. Upon arrival, Alexander, under the shadow
of Madman himself who was to oversee this final battle, attacked the
demon. Dirkstrom attacked with the valiance of a paladin, yet had little
effect on the demon. Then the mercenaries led by the Mistling Aarakocran
Sly and Mars joined in the attack. As Alexander pummeled the demon, the
others fought bravely by his side. The power of Tel was felt by the 
demon as dispel evils melted his flesh, leaving a smoldering corpse
on the ground. This rag-tag group of adventures who refused to flee, 
quit, or hide in the guild had saved the world.

panel9
So on this day, we lift up our heros. For today they stood above the rest 
and killed the demons:
Erond: Paladin of Ath, Bane of Evil, Destroyer of Wrong, and Upholder of Truth
Dirkstrom: Paladin of Jaxxon, Faithful Right Hand, Obliterator of Darkness
Mars: The Fortess, for his eagerness and refusal to back down
Flir: The Little Ogre, for his fate dealing kick 
Sly: The Multi-Talented Bird of Evil, the Spam King, the Maker-of-Bags
Pixel: The Dragonlord's Thief, First Rate Tracker,
Alexander: The Hero, Slayer of all Evil, Cleric of Tel 

panel10
And to all those who died, or aided in the defeat of the demons, we 
remember you too. Today, the world has been saved. Madman's evils have 
been temporarily thwarted, and the mortals can rest at ease...until...
