Session 198

In which our heroes ...

Orhan 1 Day 14 TE 6063

We show up and get in the first strike salvo, complete with elemental slaying strikes. Then he gets pissed. He casts Dispel True and takes down 80 percent of our massive buffing. He seems to be a 30th level dragon. Lot's of 30th level spells. Sadly, further analysis indicates he's a 66th level dragon. Oh dear....

We fight! Oh how we fight. He sweeps his breath across the room! Preasious objects of a thousand lootings go up in flame! Noooooooo!

During the next round, Imre manages to get a Word of Pain through the beast's defenses. Imre suggests that we name the next city Imreton to remember him by. Luckily, he's still got Alynna's defense. Everything else in the party has dropped their buffs again of course.

Somehow, Imre survives. We pour damage into him, by the pile. He strikes back! Alynna and Kyrik flee in fear! Three of us fight on! He casts Phrase of sleep on Haeraan who falls over. Oathar drops everything he has into the beast, but fall just short.

With one last mighty strike, Imre plunges his main Gauche into the beast. The beast has 2 HP left!

In the last round, Imre manages to do him exactly 2 HP, while Oathar dispells his healing flames. Both Imre and Oathar make their rolls by 2. Whoa.

Haeraan examines the body and awards the kill to Imre.

Oathar takes out the books of accounting...

Kyrik takes a bunch of pictures of people in front of the dragon.
