Here is the Grand Temple of Despair. If you wish to join it, then you must first join this group.

I'm the Sage with the mallet and anger!!
And the Flame of Hatered!!
I'm....SCATTY!!!!!!!!!!
And I'm also a instrutor..

Here is my first challenge to everyone! This challenge does not go away just because one person completes it. It goes away when I say so. The first challenge is simple: Defeat the Blue Fire Dragon!

The blue fire dragon is very large, very strong, and it breathes blue fire. It can fly very fast and it also has very tough scales. The Blue Fire Dragon is resistant to heat and can even lives inside of a volcano. The dragon has very sharp claws and teeth. Its fire breath will melt any armor. The dragon has near human intelligence. It has an excellent sense of smell, and hearing. It is always hungry, and the smell of fear makes it hungrier. *Opens the dragon's cage.* Step forward if you wish to challenge this beast!

SoS there are no newbs here!

I'll go against the dragon if no one else will volunteer.

can we do this if we want SoS???

I'm a newb...kinda...

ah! thats better. newcomers. but how can you kinda be a newb?? anyway... Since Sage_of_Stars is not here at the moment i guess ill be the one to welcome you to the Sages of Despair Training Grounds! so uh.. welcome! now you are welcome to complete the challenge that SoS has posted. and i recommend that you do.

All challenges are optional for everybody. If you wish to become a Sage of Despair, then I suggest you do them. I will now attempt to defeat the blue fire dragon.

*Rushes over to dragon. Distracts it by shooting out small magic balls in another place.* Although it was long believed that dragons were color blind, a recent study came out that suggested that they were able to at the very least recognize the colors red, green, and blue. *Flies into the air. The dragon slashes at SoS. SoS quickly dodges it and his cloak is the only thing ripped.* The dragon didn't know it, but my cloak had magical itching powder on it. It won't affect me because I'm the one who created it. Now to spread it around. *Jumps up towards the dragon's chest. The dragon breathes fire down onto SoS. SoS pulls out some red ice to counter it.* Any adventurer knows that red ice and blue fire destroy each other. While I could have just use red ice from the start to destroy the dragon quickly, that wouldn't be very fun. *Flies onto the dragon's head. The dragon tries to shake SoS off but it tightly grips the dragon's horns. The dragon then tries to slash at SoS with its claw. SoS quickly jumps off and the itching powder from that claw is transferred to the head.* I feel kind of sorry for what the dragon's going to be going through. * The dragon's head becomes incredibly itchy. It keeps scratching its head. Its sharp claws are one of the few things that can break through its scales, and that's just what they're doing. The dragon's head eventually starts bleeding and the dragon exhales fire because it is in so much pain. SoS dodges all of the blue fire streams. Eventually, the dragon falls to the ground due to severe blood loss.* As you can see, I turned the dragon's strength into a weakness. This challenge is complete for me. * The are flashes and the dragon is back to full health.* Now the dragon is once again ready to test anyone of you.

now i shall take my turn!

*walks slowly into the cave* hello dragon! i have come to defeat you! *pulls out my swords and and begins slicing the dragon* grr... tough body i see... *dragon shoots flames out at me* ha ha ha!! *powers up and turns into a shadow* bet you didnt know i could do that did ya?? *rushes over to the dragon and plunges swords down into his throat and shoots darkness energy down the dragons throat* he he he.... wait for it... *begins to countdown from 5* 5...4...3...2...1... *snaps fingers on 0 and the dragon suddenly collapses and dissipates into darkness* he he he... i win! nobody can defeat the King of Darkness!!
*dragon suddenly appears again and speaks so... who is next???*
