Scorba was a rubine red Winged Dragon who took the Dwarven Mine of Zarak-Dûm in Angmar as his abode.
(character) had traveled many long and twisting paths this day. The mountain passes were always difficult to find and the trails had a way of changing their markings. The last path showed promise as it snaked its way toward the top of this particular mountain. Perhaps this was the right path after all. Suddenly, the path ended in what seemed to be a giant cave entrance. Lying in front of the entrance was a being that generated instant fear and respect. A red Dragon lay there and the ancient name leapt unbidden to memory. This one was known as "Scorba", and as the red scaled head swiveled up to gaze with piercing eyes, the mouth opened to...speak?

Encounter for Rozilan (DS) at 2217:
"I have come for you, Scorba. You will come with me to destroy my enemies. You have no choice. I demand your instant and unequivocal obedience! You will follow me..NOW!" Silence reigned for moments after her impassioned speech. Suddenly, the walls seemed to shake as the Dragon stood before her. "NEVER demand from ME!... But I like your attitude, so I may join one of your Commanders for a short while. At least you knew better than to try to bribe me."
DEMAND does not always work for FP. Woodmen character did DEMAND and character was killed in combat.
