The group rests uneventfully and in the morning begin to
discuss what to do next, after some debate they agree that they should attempt
to put together the tokens they have collected so far and see if it shows them
the path towards the moving fortress.
As soon as the tokens were put together they started to pull
Otto in one direction.
After a couple of hours of travelling the group find
themselves back in the briars as they walk into what appeared to be a giant
metallic leg.
They use various methods to climb the leg and enter into the
fortresses belly where upon exploration find that the first level is dedicated
with kitchens and temples to strange dark gods but no sign of the missing
princess.
The second level they find a set of double doors which lead
into a room covered in silks and over stuffed pillows with two sets of stairs
heading further up but within the room dwelled 2 creatures one of water and one
of fire (Efreeti) as they pose to attack the intruders.
The Fire Efreeti fires a ray of fire at Vaneer and then a
quickened scorching ray at the cleric, the after effect is a very crispy cleric
out cold on the floor,
The Water Efreeti turns herself invisible,
Natalia casts a quench spell at the Fire Efreeti which
damages him,
Bob attacks the Fire Efreeti and hits,
Boss rushes to Vaneer and administers a healing potion to
the cleric,
Hugo attacks and hits the Efreeti with his frosted weapon,
Miro flanks the Efreeti and critically strikes which kills
the Efreeti,
As the fire Efreeti collapsed to the ground a scream
suddenly erupted around the room from an invisible water Efreeti as a rush of
water in the form of a vortex flies at the rogue who manages to jump out of the
way with the outcome of being blinded.
Vaneer heals himself enough to enable him to stand up,
Natalia casts a lightning bolt at the water Efreeti,
Boss throws a handful of dust of dryness into the vortex but
the dust only injures the Efreeti instead of absorbing the water,
Otto casts a fireball at the vortex,
Hugo attacks the vortex and hits,
The vortex moves to engulf Miro,
Miro makes an attack at the Vortex but misses thanks to his
blindness,
Vaneer casts searing light and hits the vortex,
Natalia sends a lightning bolt at the vortex whilst missing
her attack with the flame blade spell,
Boss sends 3 arrows towards the Efreeti but only 1 manages
to find its target,
Otto finishes the job as his magic missile kills the Efreeti
with a pop and splash,
After exploring the second floor the group make their way up
the stairs to find themselves in a large chamber that appeared to be a library
with towering stacks of books and an immense golden telescope in the middle of
the room next to an enormous blue-ish dragon where large sections of its scales
have been replaced with human skin.
The dragon appeared to smirk before saying in its booming
voice “I knew you would come! Your daughter may survive if your skins are
enough for my needs!”
“Over my dead body!!” Responds Otto,
“That’s fine with me” the dragon retorts with a satisfied
chuckles as he releases his breath weapon hitting all except Miro,
Boss is the first to attack but his arrows miss their
target,
Miro drinks a potion and moves to one side,
Hugo moves away from the group, shoots and misses,
Vaneer casts a healing burst,
Bob attacks the Dragon and hits,
Dragon bites back at Bob and hits,
Natalia attempts to attack the dragon with a spell but the
creature resisted,
Dragon attacks Bob and obliterates the honey badger fighting
machine,
Otto casts Haste,
Boss shots the dragon 4 times with one arrow finding a
critical spot,
Hugo attacks the dragon and manages to land a blow,
Miro moves into flank the dragon and manages to stab the
creature,
Vaneer casts a healing burst hoping to stabilise Bob with the
healing effect,
Bob slowly backs away from the fight back towards Natalia,
Natalia casts a spell,
The Dragon attacks Miro 4 out of 6 times bring the rogue
down to a stagger,
Boss shoots and hits the dragon twice,
Vaneer lets off another healing burst this time hoping to
aide Miro,
Miro decides to attack instead of retreat and manages to
score a blow,
Natalia summons a large earth elemental to assist in the
fight as it lands two blows,
Natalia then uses one of her touch spells which affects the
dragon,
Dragon attacks Miro again along with the elemental where it
manages to land a blow on each combatant,
Boss sends another folly of arrows but they all seem to
bounce off the dragons hide,
Hugo manages to land a critical blow on the dragon’s
underbelly,
Vaneer casts another healing burst,
Miro gets lucky with his attack as he lands the dragon its
killing blow sending the tyrant roaring as it collapses to the ground.
After a quick round of healing the group soon find another
set of double doors leading out of the library which when opened lead into a
small prison type room where the missing princess was awaiting rescue unharmed.
To be Continued….
