Current Status

Current status:
Raner and Craven were carried away by the wounded Red Dragon to the Tower in the middle of the Mount Stalagos, out of sight of the rest of the party.

Kerwyn, Torn, and Toriah were knee deep in the coins of the Dragon's Hoard.

Belaver and Lenya (both heavily wounded) were fleeing back towards the rest of the party, flying away from fifty or so warriors riding bat-winged hornets and the lightning bolts being fired by the blue towers.

Lylamwyn was hanging back observing the situation.

The Fire Door is closing, Raner had the key, and there is no obvious way to re-open the door or prevent it from closing.

Which side of the door does the party want to be on? Outside with the Dragon, the batwinged hornet riders, and the blue lightning towers. Or inside with the several hundred thousand coins of the dragon's hoard?
 


Torn would like the party to stay together. She moves to the door. "Come on. We must get out before the door closes! Otherwise we'll be separated from Beleaver, Lenya, Raner and Craven!"

If the others don't leave, she'll step outside by herself before the door closes to see what has happened to her friend, if possible. She won't abandon her.
 


A massive buzzing sound can be heard outside the Dragon's Lair, as if a swarm of angry hornets is about to descend upon the party. Inside the Dragon's Lair, the buzzing is so loud that Torn can barely hear herself as she shouts to the others about the Fire Door rising back into position.

Lenya, heavily wounded and almost dead, hangs onto Belaver as he dives back towards the rest of the party. As Belaver dives, he realizes that the rest of the party is actually inside the Dragon's Lair except for Courage and Neshi who are standing on the Fire Bridge. Belaver flies towards the entrance to the Dragon's Lair, noticing that it is about to close.

Torn and Toriah race toward the rising Fire Door, desperate to not leave their friends behind.

Courage and Neshi, seeing Belaver flying towards the rising Fire Door, take the opportunity to jump over the Fire Door into the Dragon's Lair.

Torn and Toriah start to climb over the fire door as Belaver flies into the Dragon's Lair, Belaver's wings hit Toriah, knocking Toriah back into the Dragon's lair and causing Belaver, Lenya, and Toriah to tumble upon the floor.

Torn managed to avoid being hit by Belaver, but is struck instead when a bat-winged hornet that was right behind Belaver enters the Dragon's Lair, knocking Torn over.

Two batwinged hornets, with riders on their backs, fly into the Dragon's Lair, buzzing loudly. A third gets stuck in the closing Fire Door and is crushed to death, as the door closes completely. The buzzing from the outside goes down dramatically as the door closes and the party can hear themselves once more.

Lylamwyn recognizes that the bat-winged hornets fit the description of a Spider Eater that he read about in a book. A giant-sized poisonous magical beast that can be trained to carry humanoids in flight.

With a loud clang, the door slams into position. With Raner and Craven still outside, in the clutches of the Red Dragon.
 

Lenya

Lenya hurries away from the attackers, to use her wand and to heal her wounds. In her current condition, she is no use for the party, much less, if she is dead.
