They broke the banks, toppled rulers, stopped the taxes, and rode away before the consequences arrived. Now a Lawful Evil Paladin sits across the table and explains exactly what their heroism has cost — and why curfews, soldiers, higher taxes, and walls are suddenly "necessary." This dark fantasy villain song tells the story from the other side of the campaign: the ruler who looks at a party of celebrated adventurers and asks one simple question...
