Well the dragon at least eluded you Book Two, Chapter 2.1 (session 41, 15 th February 2018) Your initial disappointment that your trap has been sprung by minions of the dragonmaster is quickly dispelled as emerging from the perpetual mists at the fringe of the forest a magnificent green dragon, ridden by the dragonlord himself, swoops down and catches Franz alone, ripping into him with its claws and teeth. The elven patrol fought the bandit minions, to a standstill despite them being supported by magic wielders. Mads charged into combat with the higher ranking dragonclaws and dragonfangs that came flying along in support of their dragonlord. Jamna manoeuvred to be able to shoot at the dragon, Franz, having called thunder and lightning with his staff and bringing the draconic charge to a halt, fled towards the caravan to put what distance he could between dragon and his few remaining HP. Augustus and Naergon hatched a plan to separate the dragon and its master. Naergon and Augustus dimension doored onto the dragons back and managed to rip the rider off and drop him to the ground – Naergon removed himself, Augustus fought (in a cloud of poison) the rider and dragonclaws and dragonfangs. Franz healed himself and then again used his staff to send a lightning bolt into the rider. Naergon did similar. An enemy mage fireballed Jamna who dodged. Dragon fangs swarmed in on Mads and Jamna/Franz and in a deluge of poison gas balls they all fell. The elves pushed the minions back. Augustus fell to the combined attacks of dragon and dragon rider. Naergon lightning bolted the rider and slew him, the dragon and its minions screamed and then the bandits morale broke and they fled. The dragon roared and swept away with its minions, presumably back to its lair. Naergon and the elves bandaged and patched everyone together and then examined the dead body of the dragonrider – the surrounding elves gasped and took a step back as Naergon ripped the elaborate green dragonmask off the dead elf. Apparently this is Neronvain, the long lost exiled and disgraced son of King Melandrach. This will take some careful reporting to the Council. For the moment the elves have taken charge of the body, Naergon has examined the dragonmask – the first one you’ve managed to get your hands on, this is indeed a triumph. Next however is the need to go and winkle the dragon (and its remaining minions) from its lair.
