+THIS IS TO BE TOLD ONCE THEY HAVE EARNED THEIR SIXTH REGALIA  
+  
+----- ----- ----- ----- -----   
+  
+You spot a postcard half sticking out of the mail slot of your home, addressed to 'Kings of Kings, 513 (Fave DM last name) Avenue.' And the photo on the front is from the Ocean Demense's island.
+ 
+*READ IT* 
+There is no name listed as to whom sent it, but it states in some scrawl of red ink, "TODAY, 5PM, POST OFFICE"
+ 
+----- 
+ 
+*IF THEY TRAVEL BY VEHICLE*
+(NOTICE Roll) You hear a pair of motorcycle engines behind you
+
+There are four people riding suspiciously close, two each on a pair of motorcycles, wearing open-front helmets, sunglasses, and bandanas, and are aiming guns at (each of) your group's vehicle(s). You are being chased by Marauders.
+
+- The 4x4 grid will be treated as a two-lane stretch of highway that constantly progresses, and they will have to avoid incoming cars & motorcycles
+- While on the motorcycles, the DRIVER will use MAGIC attacks with ACADEMICS or ram the vehicles with DRIVE, and the passenger will use SHOOT, THROWING, or FIGHT attacks when close enough
+- Occasionally, the Marauders hop into the wrong lane of traffic and purposely cause an oncoming car to make an emergency turn & risk hitting the players' vehicle(s), which will deal 5DMG on a HIT (DRIVE roll)
+- If the players' vehicle is desroyed, the fight will resume on foot instead, with the Marauders keeping their motorcycles.
+- If they beat a motorcycle, it automatically defeats both Marauders riding on it. They win the fight if both are defeated.
+
+-----
+ 
+*POST OFFICE*
+You arrive at the post office on time, but everything appears to be shutting down for the evening. Workers are starting to pour out in droves, all of them laughing and groaning in varying degrees. The OPEN sign on the front of the building will flip to CLOSED right before you show up.  
+  
+*THE SECOND ANYONE COMPLAINS*
+An explosion occurs right behind your group. The warehouse building right across the street from the post office is now a pile of rubble, and a literal fleet of Marauders are pouring out, carrying multiple wooden shipping crates in groups of four.  
+ 
+Out of the smoke steps a new individual, wearing a modified motorcycle outfit of mostly black with gold sleeves from the elbows and knees down, a waist length gold cape, and an elongated motorcycle helmet with a crown emblem on the front. He tightens his black gloves a bit, turning to see your group. "Well this is a surprise, the Kings of Kings came to greet us at our latest acquisition."  
+  
+AT ANY REMARK  
+"Riiight... so I literally have anything better to do than play with you, so I'm just going to... yeah..." He will attempt to walk away.  
+  
+-----  
+  
+WHEN CHALLENGED  
+A golden circle radiates out from under the feet of the challenger AND the man before you, overlapping to form one. He just chuckles and shakes his head slowly, pulling out a gold cutlass from behind himself, aiming the tip at your group. "Your CHALLENGE is... DENIED."  
+  
+He turns around, swings his arm downward, and cuts through the circle's boundary with a swooping slash, causing it to pause in place, flickering and flashing for a moment before completely shattering around you like glass. He finishes his wide swing and faces your group again, aiming the tip of his sword in your direction again.
+  
+"Niiice, right? I call it my Crooked Cutlass. This little beauty fucks with those fancy gold magic circles made by the Regalia. I just have to get REALLY REALLY pissed off to do it. And standing before the ASSHOLES interfering with my plans makes that so goddamn easy."  
+  
+-----  
+  
+SHOOT ATTACK  
+As the projectile approaches, it is suddenly caught inches before it lands in his helmet, resting in the hand of an identically dressed man, except his outfit is black with BLUE accents, and his helmet bears the letter A. The same man from the incident with the metal theft. 
+  
+K: Allow me to introduce you to my speed demon of an assistant, Ace. He handles all the things I dont care to dodge.  
+  
+A: We've met, sir.  
+  
+K: Is that right? Were they the ones that busted your helmet the other day? Damn... I'm gonna have to take that expense out of your paycheck.   
+  
+A: ... Unfortunate.  
+  
+-----  
+  
+MAGIC ATTACK  
+
+(LV3 or lower)
+As the spell approaches, you see the familiar sight of a wave of gold magic absorbing, eating, and canceling the spell.
+
+(LV4 or LV5)
+Before the creature you summoned has a chance to attack, a separate summon appears directly beside it in (magically opposite color), and immediately dives after the creature, causing the two to fight independently of your group.
+
+A new, shorter person steps out from directly behind King, this time VERY much obvious it is a woman, but her suit is black with WHITE accents, and her helmet bears a smaller, more petite crown.
+  
+K: Oh where are my manners? A king is nothing without his Queen, and she just HAPPENS to be one of the most powerful mages in the land.  
+  
+Q: You flatter me, my King.. But I refuse to let anyone damage what I consider my property. Or my paycheck for that matter.  
+  
+K: Your dedication to your craft is just so... so appreciated.  
+  
+-----  
+  
+MELEE ATTACK
+
+(ALLOW THEM TO CHANGE THEIR ATTACK ROLL INTO AN ATHLETICS ROLL)
+
+*IF YOU PASS OR MATCH*
+You stop your attack just in time to brace for impact as a massive studded bat swings in and slams face first into your body, sending you flying back into your group. But since you made your ATHLETICS save, you don't take damage, you are just a little stunned as you land on your feet.
+
+*IF YOU FAIL*
+You stop your attack just in time to brace for impact as a massive studded bat swings in and slams face first into your body, sending you flying back into your group. You skid into the feet of your group, having taken a solid four damage hit.
+
+Standing before you is another man, slightly taller and much beefier than King, this time in a black outfit trimmed in yellow, and bearing a simple letter J on his helmet.  
+  
+K: Now no self respecting leader would ever go anywhere without some hired muscle, isn't that right Jack?  
+  
+J: Got that right. Gave me a chance to test out my latest acquisition as well.  
+  
+K: And a fine addition it is.  
+  
+-----  
+  
+THROWN ATTACK  
+  
+As the projectile heads toward him, a hand reaches out and catches the object. A woman in the same outfit but in black with RED trimming and a helmet bearing a clown face casually strides forward, thumbing with the thrown item. "And that... was... close."  
+  
+K: Impeccable timing, Joker.  
+  
+JK: Shove it, asshole. I never agreed to go by that name.  
+  
+K: Your attitude and wit simply brightens my day every time I hear it.   
+  
+-----  
+  
+*WHAT IS YOUR GOAL*
+King steps forward. "It's simple. I'm leaving."
+
+He pulls out a golden revolver in his left hand and pulls back the hammer. "I found out this place's grand secret. I know all about the Diadem, the purpose of the Demense Masters, and the pot of gold supposedly at the end of the rainbow. And surprise surprise, it just might be a crock of shit."  
+  
+"So I plan to take myself and my most loyal employees here off this island first chance I get. And just because I can, I'm gonna make a pitstop to every Demense Master, plant a round between their eyes, and tell them to 'kiss my ass' on the way out the door."
+
+You all hear a sudden click, before everyone turns to see Joker holding an elemental potion grenade. "Alright... that's all I needed to hear. Deal's off, chump."
+
+She suddenly drops the grenade in front of the enemy group, before stealthily disappearing right before everyone's eyes. King suddenly screams KILL THEM!!! before the potion hits the ground, coating everyone on his team in a splash of black magic, acting as a smokescreen.
+
+In that one brief moment, you see Joker reappear in front of your group, and she tells you to follow her, then takes off running into the closest alley.
+ 
+*IF THEY FOLLOW* 
+She runs down a few alleyways until you reach the Residential district, grabbing the door on a seemingly random house, and yanking it open, telling you all to get inside.
+
+Once you're all in, she slams the door, locks it behind her, bars it up with a nearby couch, and takes a quick breath, releasing a deep sigh. "Okay... I don't think they followed us... follow me."
+ 
+She guides you down to the basement door, walking down first and clicking on the light.
+
+The basement is very minimally furnished with a couch, a bed, a table covered in coin & small bladed weapons, a coat rack with a green longbow hanging from it, a small fridge, and a small half bathroom. 
+  
+She sighs heavily and flops onto the couch, looking up to your group. "Not gonna lie, thought you might not even show." 
+ 
+She quickly removes her helmet, revealing a matting down of dark brown hair and fur. She quickly shakes the sweat out and reveals her hair fully, revealing herself to be a dark furred wolf woman.
+
+(CONTACTS Roll) The same dark furred wolf woman that delivered that package to the Capitol. The one NASH was afraid of. You wanna say her name was... Coco?
+  
+But when she opens her eyes, you see they are a blatantly pure red. Crimson, one might say. "Alright... let's talk."
+
+(REGARDLESS OF WHICH TOPIC)
+She cracks open an energy drink and slurps it, shaking a bit in her seat as it hits near immediately. "HOO yeah, that's the shit. Ahh...""
+  
+-----  
+ 
+*WHAT HAPPENED* 
+"Few months ago, I got blindsided and kidnapped by the Marauders. When I woke up, I was in some random-ass jail cell, in a building, in the dark, surrounded by those fuckheads. They nabbed my weapons, my poitons, and had me tied up eight ways to Sunday."
+
+"That day, Crooked King paid me a visit. Long story short, he made me a deal. I work for him, he leaves my dad's demense alone. I agreed, with the condition if he made even the SLIGHTEST hint of a push against Dorrin, his ass is grass." 
+
+-----
+
+*WHY IS SHE BROWN*
+"Nasty ass fur dye. Doesn't last very long, but it disguises my scent, makes it so I can walk around safely." 
+ 
+----- 
+  
+*ASKS ABOUT IDENTITIES*  
+"Crooked King knows who we all are, but none of us have a clue who he is, and he's done a damn good job keeping it that way." 
+
+She drops a handful of photos onto the nearby coffee table. "He calls us the FACES, has us each watch the four Districts. I got the Essentials district, watched for changes or developments he could find useful for his master plan."  
+  
+"Queen watches the Gated District. Gave an in-depth look where everyone of 'higher value' lived that might be an asset or an issue down the road."  
+  
+"Jack's got the Business District. He keps an eye for any new businesses we might be able to raid for unique supplies."  
+  
+"Ace has the Residential District, fucks with the calls made and received so the Thunder Force couldn't make it in time to certain Marauder incidents."
+
+(IF THEY MENTION THE MOLE)
+"Well at least they're not unaware."
+ 
+----- 
+ 
+*TAKE HIM DOWN* 
+"You wanna collapse his empire, you gotta take down the FACES first. I've been working on a strategy for just that." She walks over to a nearby corkboard covered in papers and strings. 
+  
+"Queen's a ranged fighter, keeps people far away. Mostly spells, sometimes guns. You get up close, she will fold like paper."  
+  
+"Jack is all about up close and personal, plus the new hammer's a pain. Either keep your distance or, if you're either really brave or really stupid, you go toe to toe with him and PRAY he misses."
+  
+"Ace is tricky. He's got combat experience, Thunder Force training, and who knows what else. His go-to is mid-range so he can move around freely. You disable his movement, he should be easy pickings."
+  
+"The Crooked King is gonna be the biggest issue. Gold weapons break on their own, but the two he uses are reinforced. Challenging him is worthless, his sword can eat magic, and we have never seen him in an actual fight, so we have no combat strategy. BUT... I have a theory that without the gold weapons, he is an absolute pussy."   
+
+-----
+
+*WHAT IF THEY COME AFTER US*
+"Good news is, I know they won't come after you at your place, or they would out themselves as either really desperate or openly admit you are a threat. And as Marauders, that would be a BAD image."
+
+"But if worse comes to worst, my base is your base."
+  
+----- 
+
+(IF THEY DONT ASK ABOUT BOW)
+(CONTACTS ROLL) You suddenly recall someone mentioning something about a missing bow from the GREEN demense. 
+ 
+"Oh that? Stole it to prove myself to the cause. Crooked King actively DESPISES the Masters and their Regalia, so he just lets us all fuck with them however we want."
