Tiamat is attempting to escape from Hell, reforge the mythical sword that created her and Bahamut, and then slay Bahamut himself. The player characters are trying to stop her.Last session, the human beastmaster ranger was captured by the Cult of Tiamat. They intend to sacrifice him to release Tiamat from Hell. Rallying in Waterdeep, the other PCs plotted how to save their friend and stop the Cult. My goal for this session was to go from epic to EPIC since the campaign is nearly over. So all the allies the PCs made along the way gathered their armies in Waterdeep...dwarves and elves, stone giants and frost giants, Zhentarim and Red Wizards. Good-aligned metallic dragons circled in the skies overhead. All of them preparing to assault the Cult's stronghold in Phandalin, where the Cult seized the Forge of Spells in order to remake the mythical sword referenced above.(FYI, my Phandalin for this campaign was a mashup of the Starter Set with Khundrukar from Forge of Fury, with everything expanded and enlarged to give it more scope and grandeur.)After some discussion, the PCs decided to have their dragon allies assault Phandalin from the air. Using that as a distraction, the PCs teleported into Khundrukar...while riding two adult gold dragons!Unfortunately, they were too late. As they neared the Forge of Spells, they saw the ranger chained to the Forge itself. The cultist above him plunged a ceremonial dagger into his heart. The ranger died. And in that instant Tiamat was freed from Hell.Tiamat's exarch on Faerun, a red dragon named Malystryx, rises from the Forge and meets the PCs in mid-air. The gold dragons maul her. The tiefling shadow sorcerer unleases meteor swarm. The aasimar vengeance paladin smites for 180 points of damage. The half-elf whispers bard transforms into a Walking Statue of Waterdeep and grapples Malystryx in mid-air. The elf arcane trickster rogue finally fells her with an arrow......that was a LOT easier than they expected......until her red dragon form transforms into the form of a blue dragon. Yep, that's right. To defeat her, the PCs basically have to take out five ancient chromatic dragons in a row.Next session: Tiamat ravages the multiverse!</blockquote>
