[Paxus Asclepius]

Seeing Toriah down, the druid moves to heal his companion, trying to avoid drawing the ire of the numerous heads.

 

[Thanee]

Lenya

Lenya continues to blast the dragon.

 

[Pyrex]

Trying to draw it's attention away from Belaver, Raner levels a couple of measured but powerful blows (Expertise for 3, Power Attack for 3) at the "dragon".

 

[Seonaid]

Toriah's last thoughts before he sinks into oblivion are "An' they said 't was an illusion!"

Round 3
18: Toriah
17: Lylamwyn
17: Dragon (-121, 5 heads) heals 17, but does not attack the party. Its remaining 5 heads flop around listlessly.
17: Raner
15: Kerwyn
15: Craven (-12)
13: Slaazh (-100) heals 5
12: Belaver (-12)
8: Lenya (-8)


The party destroys the dragon by cutting it to shreds and burning the remains.

Toriah has a strange dream about how the the fight might have turned out differently. He could have been killed, but death may not have been his final fate, he might have been reincarnated as a gnome.

 

[Seonaid]

Toriah looks down at himself and then at the others and then just shakes his head.

 

[Thanee]

Lenya

[GIANT] “Well done, Slaazh! Good job there! I really wondered, whether it was a good idea, it did look like the 'dragon' hurt you more than you did in return, but I guess you have more experience with these beasts than I do.” [/GIANT]

 

[Endur]

Slaazh responds to Lenya in the Giant tongue, "With no mouth, beast can't bite. Lots of mouths on that beast."

 

[Endur]

The red-haired and freckled halfling who said her name was Olive Rustkettle emerges from the shadows behind the party,
"This will definitely be a major part of the song I'm writing about the mighty heroes that freed me, foremost of whom is the brave Kerwyn who bared the den of the Mighty Demon to free me from torment."
