"You have done well to reach my castle, whelps. However!" The dark wizard Krazath threw his arms wide and gestured behind him with his spiral-headed staff. "Behold as my stronghold rises beyond your meager reach! Kuhahahaha!"
Fractures split the ground and the earth behind the wicked sorcerer began to rise, an inverted mountain below a dread citadel. Rocks and clods of earth fell below as the unnatural mass rose to rule over the birds and clouds. On its way, however, it tilted, and the topsoil slid off with the castle on it. The edifice fortified with eldritch enchantments smashed into the ground as Krazath watched, while behind him the heroes readied their holy weapons.
Has this ever happened to you? If not, it could if you neglect to test your schemes before carrying them out. No matter how lucky you are, overlooking only one flaw or leaving one screw untightened can ruin the plans of decades or centuries.
Only last month a mad scientist's heinous creation failed to turn on him just as he revealed it, turning the drama into a farce. Before that, a villain transformed into a grotesque creature that lacked a single eyeball. What a sad end for his exalted ambitions!
Our representatives can put you in contact with owners of underused realities ready to bear a calamity or two. The heroes defeated countless underlings before attempting to defeat you. Can you do any less?
