The time had come to finally play out the last bit of the battle in
Rhest. The main building infront of us was occupied by an enemy
spellcaster that had taken control of poor
Farkor, and the huge
black dragon was near by ready to strike one of us.
After starting the first round with a well-placed
Dispel Magic Eluard prepared for being attacked. Anor was next, chosing to go after the
spellcaster on the roof since he was an easier target and also still in control of
Farkor. 3 arrows went off, but alas, 3 misses. They were actually hits, but some magic spell caused them to just miss him with a few inches.
The mood dropped a bit for what to come, but
Morbald did his duty and landed 3 missiles on the enemy
spellcaster on the roof. Then it was the big dragon turn. To our suprise, he lifted and flew off towards the bell tower. Getting a small breather was nice, it gave us the opportunity to end the life of 2
ogres and hit the
spellcaster who retreated down in the building.
Back came the
dragon, with the coward
Saarwith on his back ending its movement just at the stair we were heading for that led up to the roof of the main building. Alas, we couldnt get shelter from the
goblin inside now.
An arrow left the wyrmlords bow but missed
Anor. It was our turn again.
Eluard decided to fire off an
Ayialla's Radiant Burst which made some damage to both
dragon and
Saarwith, but most importantly, made the
goblin blind.
Anor fires 3 arrows towards the
goblin who get hit by 2 himself and 1 hits one of his two
mirror images. Only 1
mirror image remaining.
Our goal here is to kill the wyrmlord, and discover what he is doing out here. So
Morbald fires off his
Magic Missiles against him as well. Last
image is gone.
Coward as he is,
Saarwith orders the
dragon to retreat as far away as he can.
Eluard continues to push towards the building as
Anor fires away 3 arrows at a distance of 5-700 feet. All 3 hits.
Wyrmlord falls of motionless, as the last arrow hits him straight in the spine.
Dragon roars and heads back.
Eluard now focuses his divine powers and lets loose a
Hammer of Righteousness that deals a massive
57 points of damage.
Dragon take a good hit but continues.
Anor fires as much as he can and scores a few hits. The enemies on the roof of the main building are now taking cover as much as they can and the
enemy spellcaster cant be seen still.
Dragons turn. It continues towards
Anor and makes a disarm attempt on his bow. It succeeds and things look dire again.
Eluard, who stands just a couple of feets behind, moves in to strike the dragon from behind. An attack of opportunity is made from the
dragon who deals
15 damage but takes 16 in return from the
Fire Shield protecting
Eluard.
Eluard is now next to the
dragon and casts a spell as he grabs the
dragon's wing. The
dragon starts to freeze as the heat is sucked from his body and the
Shivering Touch made it to drop to a halt. It completely froze and got paralyzed from it!
Anor regains his bow and both
Eluard and
Anor starts to pound the
dragon Coup de Grace's until it utterly falls a part.
Morbald who failed another Will save vs the dragon had started to flee back to the tower.
Farkor now regains control of himself and starts to head back to the tower as well. The
lizardmen are approaching quickly now, only 500 feet away.
Farkor and
Anor decides to go back to the
dragon and cutting of its head to put it on top of the bell tower to state an example. It proves to be a wise choice, since the
lizardmen decides to head back after closing in on the tower.
After the miraculous deed, we decided to head back to the rendevouz spot. Being cautious, we decided to fire off a
Rope Trick spell to guarantee our saftey until the
elves came and picked us up. Initially, we wanted the
elves to stay for a couple of minutes as we cleared the main building and searching the area, but as soon as they learned the deaths of
Killiar and
Trellara, they refused to do anything else but to return to
Star Song Hill.
Accepting their wishes, we all returned to their village. Thinking it might not matter so much since the only known enemies left are the
enemy spellcaster, 1
ogre and 1
ettin. If they would decide to leave the area they will not get very far as the terrain is very rough and the elves in the area are air-borne on their giant owls. Tracking them down and capturing them will not be a very hard task.
So, another
wyrmlord bites the dust and another
dragon as well. The
Red Hand of Doom takes another blow as the
Resistance in Elsir Vale continues to stack their victories!
