Welcome to episode one of Rise of the Vat Spawn! In this episode, our protagonists are birthed from colorful vats before fighting some undead skeletal animals. Dragon Warrior gets stabbed in the guts. Warlock Roc gets sprayed by goo. Bat Alchemist manipulates that same liquid goo to freeze the baddies in places. Tiger Wizard tames a skeletal tiger.
They’re introduced to Anoop, the Marshal of Mummies, and their creator, an undead dragon named Dr. Drecolitch, explains the necropolis they’re in, the city above (Def Jamisus),its political structure, the great dragon wars, and the dragon orbs that he desires.
They fly through the necropolis on Dr. Dracolitch's back to a walled enclave filled with the mutilated exiles of Def Jamisus, learning about how crime is dealt with in Def Jamisus. They return to Dr. Dracolitch’s to heal their wounds, and are introduced to Anoop’s grow room.
