The hall is filled with the dingy remanence of poisonous clouds. From outside thunder cracks and a light, thin rain begins to fall into the hall. The center of the room is scattered with dozens of bodies: hobgoblin, bullywug, dragon knight, and Indrasian humans. The dragons, 4 large and 4 medium sized wyrmlings are snarling at the heroes, Breschka and their allies. The dragon knight commander glares out of the wall of force sphere surrounding her. Behind her, on the dias Queen Lightcrown is back lounging on the couch holding her dagger in her hand on her lap. While she is not smiling, without the collar around her neck her face seems brighter, and more alive than previously. Off to the south, the diplomats are all huddling in corners and against the far walls, unsure of what to make of the situation. Pixi stands next to his dying dragonborn friend and ally Sir Vatcher, still dressed in plate mail with no marks on it, Sir Vatcher was dropped by inhaling the poisonous gases of the dragons. The downed hobgoblins, dragon knights, and bullywugs were not so lucky. 7 of the bullywugs are frozen in place, now statues of ice from Sir Vatcher’s magic. The hobgoblins and dragon knights were downed by a combination of electrocution and being pelted with sleet and ice. One of the hobgoblin wizards was sliced in two and incinerated internally by the radiant energy of Breschka’s battleaxe. The corpse of Lord Nivicras lays on top of three elves, Volandra who is struggling to crawl out from underneath him, and directly underneath him is the body of Ailekk, the Aarakocra monk. Kalrithni and Ma Thornberry are nowhere to be seen. The hobgoblin warlord and captain are both injured, but standing. Off too the north the three living bullywugs are hiding in a corner. In the center of the room Urd, Cassius, Rurrick in his dire grizzly form, and Breschka all stand there waiting for the next round of combat. Ron, to the south is closer to Volandra crawling out from underneath Nivicras body which has been bashed, bludgeoned, stabbed, smited, slashed, pierced, frozen, electrocuted, and burned. Pixi, off to the east looks at the dead wyrm and grins, saying in gnomish “I guess you are what eats you, worm.” He thin glances quickly at the nearby green dragons to make sure none of them understood him. ]Queen Lightcrown says [booming throughout the chamber], “Whoever holds the spell over my incompetent cousin and her troops should release it immediately. Else my bodyguards will dispel it anyway and then hunt you down and kill you.” [Insight check] She then says loudly, “If the force wall around the dragon knights is not released in 6 seconds, cover the bottom half of this room in flames.” And she looks towards the diplomats and people on the south side who look up suddenly alarmed. Rurrick continues to fight, growling as a grizzly and unleashing on a young green dragon. The dragons and dragon knights surrounded him, slashing and attacking, taking him out of bear form and knocking him unconscious. Cassius took a swing and smited a dragon wyrmling. Urd, Ron, and Breschka all stood down while Ma Thornberry dropped the wall of force and went invisible. Kalrithni came from behind a pillar and walked quickly up to Queen Lightcrown, kneeling down a few feet away from her and offered her a scroll in her right hand. Pixi fed Sir Vatcher another healing potion. Meanwhile, Dragon Knights disarmed Cassius and moved to break up the fight between Sir Vatcher, Volandra, Pixi and the remaining two hobgoblins, a captain and a warlord. Ron, Cassius, Breschka, and Urd were escorted to the area in front of Queen Lightcrown, and were all disarmed. A dragon grabbed Rurrick’s dead body in it’s claws and dropped it before Queen Lightcrown. Ron spoke, asking to be able to heal their friends. Brescka echoed this point, stating that she was still ruler of Dravens and had certain rights within it. Queen Lightcrown disagreed. Brescka says, “You cannot do this. Dravens’ is mine, it is my birthright.” Queen Ligthtcrown says, “Make no mistake. Dravens no longer belongs to you Princess Breschka. I may or may not let you keep that title, but Dravens is mine. And thank you to you and your friends for slaying my would-be master.” She continues, “For the foreseeable future, Dravens’ Belongs to me.” Brescka moved back into formation with the party. Kalrithni says, “My queen.” Then drops to a knee. “I am a loyal servant of Dree and I have the papers to prove it. Papers that I believe none should see but you.” As things begin returning to normal Kalrithni approaches and hands a crumpled up note to Queen Lightcrown. Queen Lightcrown looks at it and raises an eyebrow. She says, “I will be confirming this shortly. But until then I suppose I believe you.” Kalrithni says, “I think these ‘heros’ have done you a solid deed. After all, they have slain the one who would seek to conquer you. And now that you have conquered them surely it is time to…” Queen Lightcrown interrupts, “Have I? Have I conquered them?” Kalrithni says, “Well perhaps not. I understand that dwarf is particularly crafty. I hear he tries to enchant his betters with mind-controlling magics. I think you should let me stab him a few times for good measure, unless you’d rather.” Queen Lightcrown grins. “You are quite gruesome, Kalrithni. I approve. Proceed.” As Kalrithni stabbed Rurrick, he tried to charm her to prevent dying again. She whispered in his ear as she stabbed him, “The last time you tried to charm me I told you to never try again, Rurrick.” He was healed by Breschka a moment later, finding his amulet of nondetection missing, but seeing a squid-looking thing the size of a plum underneath his tunic blinking at him [glamoured studded leather armor +1]. Kalrithni then said, “My Queen, I must ask that you spare my nephew, Cassius. I’d prefer if you spared his wife Volandra, too as it will make holiday dinners easier. If you wish to kill his so called ‘Uncle’, that’d be just fine though.” She says with a toothy smile looking at Ron. “As far as Sir Vatcher and Pixi, castrate them and dump them in the ocean.” Urd heard the voice of Arieth in his head say, “We are standing by, we’ll be in there shortly.” Then they all heard pounding on the southern door. Kalrithni said to Queen Lightcrown, “Queen, you are in danger, we must leave.” Even as she said that they could hear fighting outside from both the hallway but also above them in the sky.Three of the green dragons flew up and out into the sky above the hall. The southern door swung open and Feng’s Bronze Dragon form bounded into the room, engaging the single young and multiple wyrmling green dragons, dispatching them quickly. Another Necromaton materialized next to Queen Lightcrown and traced its finger along a scroll, activating it nonverbally and teleporting Queen Lightcrown, Kalrithni, both of the Necromatons, the Dragon Knight Commander, and several other dragon knights away. Before long Rirre, in full silver dragon form, flew in through the ceiling. The remaining dragon knights moved to the side, unwilling to take sides between the fighting dragons. In the aftermath, it was obvious they were now at war. Breschka said she had many things to do. Rirre had to coordinate the relocation of her people, with Urd volunteering that they relocate to Mt. Mabub, at least for the immediate time. Meanwhile, Feng said he and his family were spoiling for a fight. Apparently, he wasn’t allowed in the chamber because Brescka was sure he’d cause a fight, he thanked Rurrick for doing it for him although he got irritated with Rurrick when he called Rirre a “filthy dragon”. Arieth and more guards arrived. The party began discussing what to do next. Sir Vatcher said he and Pixi needed to report back to Indra, but he volunteered to open a portal to Castle Bonehammer so that the party could take the fastest route possible to Shame of Mabub where Shonn could bring back Ailekk. Rurrick recalled that he had never tried to charm Kalrithni, but he had tried to charm Oron on their first meeting. He then scryed on Kalrithni and saw her in a cloak on the outskirts of Dravens’ Port having a drink. Some NPCs to consider. Volandra Sir Vatcher Lindal Horn Wizard Uhklak Thrinegrove defectors Nards Drow Joyce Orcshammer Kalrithni Ma Thornberry Breschka Reis Additional content will be done via email or on discord. Next game is aimed to open at Shame of Mabub.
