Fiddle was starting to think about riding under the tarp, he didn’t care if the teamsters noticed. There was a flash of lightning nearby and the clap of thunder. Something else screamed out in the dark. Some large shape dove into view for a brief second.“Dragon,” Fiddle yelled. He leapt off his wagon and charged ahead.A wyvern ravaged a horse on the lead wagon. Erin summoned his coating of magic and moved into a fighting stance. His ioun stone lit the area around him. The wyvern stung him. He faltered. Fiddle fired an arrow into the wyvern. Alya screamed at the rear of the caravan. She began to sing a song of courage and bravery. Vlad fired an arrow into the wyvern attacking the rear. Sully coated Richter in magic. Richter moved into a defensive position. Darian summoned Lathander’s mace and also jumped off the wagon. The mace struck the wyvern. The teamster on the first wagon disembarked and ran for cover in the ditch. The second teamster cowered. The Fiddleless wagon pulled around the chaos. Vlad’s driver followed suit. The fifth teamster was down. The wyvern’s poison taking its toll on his system.Erin battled away with the front wyvern. Fiddle fired another arrow. Oops, he had the wyvern’s attention. The beast landed near Fiddle and stung him. Fiddle fought off the poison. The wyvern at the rear attacked the other tethered horse on the fifth wagon. Darian fired his crossbow at the front wyvern. The Mace of Lathander followed. Richter stayed in a defensive position. Sully covered himself in magic. Alya continued forward at a run, but she was not visible.“Stop,” Vlad threatened his driver with his rapier. The wagon stopped. He pulled his bow.The first wagon was empty with one dead horse and one panicked, but stuck. The second wagon was halted, but defended. The third wagon was lost from sight. The fourth wagon was alongside the second. The fifth wagon was without horses and passagers.Erin continued to fight the wyvern. Fiddle dropped his bow and drew his blades. Lightning Strike left a scar across the wyvern’s hide. Alya touched Fiddle. He felt a different level of magic around him. Darian fired another bolt. And his god’s mace ended the wyvern’s life. The other wyvern joined the battle.  It stung Fiddle. Fiddle shook this poison off, also. Alya’s magic had no effect on the creature.  The wyvern was real close to the second wagon. Richter remained defensive. Sully stepped back and read his scroll aloud. The small bead of fire didn’t travel very far.BooooMMMmmVlad peppered it with an arrow.Erin summoned his force magic. He closed on the new threat. Fiddle dodged around the wyvern’s legs. He hamstrung the creature. Darian hit it with a bolt. The wyvern looked at its dead mate and its own injuries. It leaped into the air and was soon out of sight. The rain continued to fall. Richter ran back to the fifth wagon. He helped the driver as he could. Darian and Alya arrived to aid. The driver would live. But three of the horses would not. With only one spare horse, it meant the trip would be even slower. Erin and Fiddle had located the other wagon and drivers and brought them back. The party walked to ease the burden on the horses. What was to be four days remaining travel was now eight.</blockquote>
