Back at El Paso
A follow-up introduction game to Trapped! McCoy, realizing that the Dragon Hatchling is likely behind the exposure of his operations, engages his team of bandits to find her and destroy her.
The adventurers, while roaming the streets of El Paso just happen to spot a gang of D-Bees. It does not take them long to recognize the duo of Roane Pipers from the traveling circus and Freak Show in Sunshine. The pair is joined by a Ronii Tokanii Warrior, a Spinne Starke Scholar, and a Yhabbayar.
What the adventurers don’t see is the Slurmph, who is accompanied by his Cytoplasmic Blob familiar, tracking the current whereabouts of the dragon hatchling named Carlotta.

Not one, but two dragons. That’s a problem.
The Slurmph Shifter is picking up two dragon signatures, Carlotta and Delgardo who is with the DemonBusters.
This leads to the two Dragons meeting in person. Delgardo, tracking the activities of a Loogaroo named Oddly, realized that the monster was locating Carlotta. Being able to sense each other, they are prepared for their meeting. But with Carlotta is her lover, Sir Raoul Lazarious, who becomes highly confrontational as Delgardo appears and approaches Carlotta. The confrontation begins to draw the attention of locals and onlookers. While speaking loudly in the streets, Sir Lazarious taking out his frustrations with Delgardo, the adventurers notice a large bubble floating towards Carlotta. The bubble is imbued with a befuddle spell and it drops upon her head. Whether or not the magic effect takes, a second cluster of bubbles is seen floating toward her – most are harmless but, one is imbued with Domination.
Should Carlotta be either or both befuddled and dominated, she is made susceptible to an ambush attack.
Yhabbayar bubbles buff allies, and yet hinder adversaries.
A third Bubble will hit the space in front of Carlotta, this one being Mystic Portal – stepping into the portal, she will appear 500 feet away where the Ronii Tokanni Warrior and the two Roane Pipers are waiting. Both are Professional Assassins and have minor psionics. They both have TW Weapons that they use for assassination. The Yhabbayar imbued them both with Super Telekinesis and one with Telekinetic Force Field and the other, Radiate Horror Factor to stun and capture the Dragon Hatchling as she’s being assassinated.
Meanwhile, the Slurmph Shifter and his familiar and summoned ‘pets’ will frustrate and impede Delgardo and Sir Lazarious while the rest of the team attempt to assassinate Carlotta.
Should the adventurers manage to rescue Carlotta, she will be grateful for their assistance and invite them to join Doc Reid’s Rangers where she’ll watch over them.
