By: Jedi_Zea

Summary: Raven finally decides to join the other Titans in a game, but it's not a video game. She wants them to play Dungeons & Dragons and decides to share something about herself while doing so. PG-13

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, Dungeons and Dragons, any of the places I got my music from, or any other real things I may make reference to while writing this story.

(Author Notes) If you know any of the references go ahead and say where they're from in a review or in an email. If you get some of them good for you, and if you get all of the ones I put in intentionally well... that says something, I'm not sure if it says something good or bad, but it definitely says something. Also I have gotten a few reviews and emails asking if I was planning on making this an actual game, please note the Disclaimer. I will be adding OC's to the story and if you want one, send me an email describing him/her/it. I'll have to look it over and send you a reply. I am making most of my characters follow the rules so if I can't do what you want because of the rules I'm sorry, CloudedDragon, unfortunately to be able to do what you want your OC to do she would have to be a Druid, email me if you want me to make you a Druid or keep you as a Paladin.

Chapter 5

Raven sat down at her chair and pressed the remote for the stereo, the machine whirred to find the right disk, and started to play a quiet, eerie song.

If you are near to the dark I will tell you `bout the sun,

You are here no escape from my visions of the world,

You will cry all alone but it does not mean a thing to me.

“Now,” started Raven speaking above the quiet music. “Describe your characters what they're dressed in, their skin, hair, and eye colors and any distinguishing features they may have. Cyborg, you first,” finished the Raven. She took a breath and relaxed, for the first time this evening she finally felt like she was in control of the situation.

“Alright, my dude is dressed in...” started Cyborg, but got cut off quickly by Beast Boy.

“Hey! Someone forgot the snacks!” BB interrupted shooting an angry glare at Cyborg. ”And you were supposed to get them.”

“Just a sec man, I'll get them right after I'm done with this, k?” Cy breathed quickly. “Now where was I?” he turned back to Raven to try to continue from where he started.

“No way! Dude just go and get them. It'll only take a sec, besides I'll go while you get them.” Beast Boy insisted, while walking over to pull Cyborg from his chair.

“Yes I too would like to partake of our various snacks and candies,” chirped Starfire from her seat. “Plus did you not say `what is a game without a nice big bag of chips?' ”

“Yeah, fine.” Cy muttered as he stood up and shook Beast Boy off. “But one of y'all has to help me bring all the food. And no not you BB, I don't want any of your tofu in the chips!” Cy accused, as Beast Boy was about to volunteer for just that reason.

“Cy!” Beast Boy replied in a very fake insulted voice. “You know I wouldn't put any tofu in the chips, I'm hurt that you would even suggest that. Don't you think better of me then that?”

“No, I don't! But just come on. I'm keeping my eye on you though tofu boy.” Cy remarked forcefully, grabbing BB and pulling him into the kitchen.

“Dude, where's the Mountain Dew?” Beast Boy asked as Cyborg was grabbing a bowl of chips and dip.

Sighing, Cyborg stated simply, “In the fridge duh!”

“Can I have a Mountain Dew,” BB asked Cy, agitating him even more.

“Yes! You can have a Mountain Dew! Just go get it!” Cyborg yelled at the hyper Titan. He took one last look around to see if he could find anything else he needed to grab, and decided the chips and dip, corn chips and salsa, and bowl of candy that he already had was enough for now.

“I'm getting a soda, does anyone else want one?!” Beast Boy shouted out the door as Cyborg left with his snacks in hand. He decided just to grab a couple of the six packs they bought earlier, one of Mountain Dew, one Pepsi, and one Diet Pepsi. Beast Boy walked back into the living room and handed out a pop to everyone except Raven, who levitated a cup of tea from the corner of the room into her cloud of darkness. “Alright dudes, time for you to hear about how awesome Ivellios looks,” he said hoping that Raven forgot that she told Cyborg to go first.

“Hey! I was supposed to go first! Just for that you should go last,” protested Cy while dipping a corn chip into the large bowl of salsa. “Non-tofuy goodness,” he said just to irk Beast Boy as he ate the chip.

“Stop it now!” insisted Raven. “Just to keep you two fighting senselessly; Terra you're directly to my right so you go first, then go around the table until you get to Robin.”

“Sure,” Terra agreed happily. “Sapphire walks down the road slowly, at about 3 feet tall she has a fair completion, short brown hair, with a pair of bright sapphire eyes. She's wearing nondescript brown leather armor, with a short bow and a quiver of arrows on her back, with an ornate short sword at her hip.”

Raven nodded as Terra concluded her quick description, and cleared her throat so Beast Boy would start paying attention and realize it was his turn to describe his character. “Oh right,” BB said. “Now prepare to hear about the Amazing Ivellios,” he said confidently. “You see a 5 foot tall elven figure walking towards you. As he approaches you can see his sandy brown hair and his tan completion. He walks with an air of confidence in his toughened animal hide armor. When he gets to within about 10 feet of you his bright green eyes shine happily, and you can see the ever-present smile on his face. Scimitar in hand he strides confidently past.”

“Starfire, your turn.” Raven said quietly fearing what Star would have to say. `Just let her be quiet,' Raven prayed quietly.

“YAY!” Star squealed loudly. “T'KLORAISVERYTALLWITHLONGFLOWING...” She trailed off when she saw a pair of glowing amethyst eyes from within the darkness. “Eep,” Starfire cringed when she saw the glow from the shadows Raven concealed herself in. Star took a calming breath and whispered, “Peace, quiet, tranquility. Peace, quiet, tranquility. May I try again friend Raven?” when the amethyst glow subsided she decided she should start over again. Starfire took one last calming breath and began slowly, “T'klora is very tall, with long flowing blonde hair. Her blue eyes sparkle like the sea, and her tan skin shimmers in the sunlight. She always wears colorful clothing, with her leather armor under it. She always has a happy smile on her face and her harp in hand and is ready to play a joyous song for her friends. She tries not to fight, but when she must she fights with her crossbow and light mace.”

“Oh yeah! My turn,” Cy proclaimed. “Alright y'all, my dude clad in shining plate armor, that is polished to perfection. His great axe has a few stains on it from the heads of the enemies he's cut off with it, but it's still razor sharp. He has dark red hair, and a beard that's goes down to his waist. He's very gruff and rude to everyone, even his friends. He had dark brown skin and same goes for the eyes. He's always ready and eager for a fight.”

“Hm,” Raven muttered from her shadow. “And Robin it's your turn. Then we'll finally be able to start.”

Robin nodded solemnly and took a moment to think about Vincent. He took a cleansing breath and began in a considerably deeper and more malevolent voice, ”I am Vincent. I'm wearing jet-black robes with blood red trim and magical runes. The robes match my hair color, and the trim matches that of my eyes. I also have a black cloak with the design of large a bloody red pentagram on the back. I carry an ornate ironwood staff with a crystal set on the top. I almost always seem cold and uncaring. I do have a soft spot for those in genuine need, but I try not to let it show. I love appearing malevolent, but try not to be vain about it. I am hardly ever animated, although when I cast my spells I suddenly shoot to life, almost as if possessed. I enjoy the night and dark weather; because of this my skin is almost bone white, in direct contrast to my hair. I don't like showing my face, so I pull the hood of my cloak down and make sure it shadows my face, all except a unnatural red glow my eyes have from a spell gone wrong years ago. I am Vincent, approach me if you dare,” he hissed. Everyone in the room looked at him in shock, Raven was almost shocked enough to lose control her cloak of darkness and let it drop, but she managed to regain control at the last second.

“Now that we're finally ready to begin...” Raven began while causing the darkness to fade. After a few seconds her silhouette formed for the other Titans to see. Terra was the only one taken aback by the wings on Raven's figure, “I am the Dungeon Master, and I control everything in the world.” Raven reverted to her normal voice and began; “I'm going to say this in my normal voice so you know how serious I am. As the DM, I encourage you to - - from time to time and always in a respectful manner, and with the complete knowledge that my decision is final - - to question my logic. If you're unconvinced a particular ruling I've made is the wisest, tell me so. And I will promise you, right here and now, no subject will be taboo... except the subject that you were just about to bring up Terra.”

Changing back to her evil seductress voice Raven began “It's the middle of the night, and the sky is very dark. It's very cloudy and none of the stars or even the moon can break through the thick cloud cover. There is a bright glow off the horizon to the North, obviously not the sun since it's to the North. As you continue you see a large plume of smoke coming from the same area the glow is from. After you walk towards the glow for about ten minutes the wind picks up and without warning it starts to pour rain top of you. At about this time you see that the glow is coming from a town in the distance, and it appears to be burning. One solitary figure comes from the direction of the blaze. It appears to be a young woman wearing a tattered and torn cloak. When she notices your group she starts to run directly to you. As soon as she gets close enough to make out what each of you are wearing and what you look like the figure runs directly to Vincent. She grabs onto his cloak and throws herself to his feet sobbing quietly, `Please help me,' she says. I don't have anywhere else to turn, please m'lord please help me.”
