[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 7298668, member: 467"] For context: the dragon is The Dragon. A decade ago it landed in the capital, slagged the palace (with the High King inside) and was essentially an atomic bomb. Since then the kingdom has been slipping into chaos as barons fight over the now Molten Throne while former slave orcs (PHB half orcs) press into the territoy of the fae races (elves, half elves, gnomes and dwarves). The native halflings who were assimilated by the human empire that colonized the land are reasserting their aboriginal culture. The elves -- scary celtic fair folk -- toy with mortals and prey on their dreams and their children. Basically, everything is going to Hell because of the Dragon. Then comes the PCs. They are put together as a group to support one of the barons trying to become the new High King. They went on adventures, fighting monsters and uncovering cults and so on. Their last adventure had them whisked off to the Elemental Plane of Water. This is where we stopped playing to try some other things. Now I have a limited amount of time before schooling makes it impossible to play regularly, so I want to have them face down the Dragon over the course of maybe 4 sessions (we play over Fantasy grounds for about 3 hours weekly). The results will set the tone for the game when we pick it back up after my schooling is done in 6 months. [/QUOTE]
