During this time a sniper hit the king for 1 hp damage.They spent a lot of time worrying that the 1 hp of damage was a carrier or marker for some future nasty effect. Nevla flies up to look at who fired the shot , while up there she spots the Lantern on the roof and also the Undead dragon heading for them. She Disintigrates the Lantern while the sniper shoots William for 1 hp. The Kitty dies as Padme and William catch it between them and it gets shredded. The Ghost counsellor goes down to the King, Harkover , the Green Knight and Ulvaar who now can hit with a blade of positive energy.As this fight ends Asraby joins them saying a large undead dragon is just behind them. Williams player then comments that it cannot be a Very old Dragon as the Ravener template requires an Ancient Dragon. The other players tell him to shut up, and if he had been in the same room would have thrown dice at him, the Dragons gets bigger and gains more hit dice and better spells.......As the Dragon and 2 wraith hordes break into the throne room Nevla takes the chance to trigger a death ward effect on the party from an item. this only lasts for 5 rounds but renders the Wraiths completely useless for 5 rounds and stops the Ravener doing negative levels and charging its Soul ward.The Dragon breaks through the wall and breathes acid over Harkover and the King , Protection from acid blocks the damage and Death ward blocks the level drain. Ulvaar lashes around wildly with a whip of positive energy and inflicts massive damage on the wraith squads. Everyone else piles onto the Ravener, it i not impressed until despite protests from Harkover the King puts it in a headlock.It opens things up by Biting the King and crits but a quick prayer from Nevla forces it to reroll and its bit misses instead.  Nevla spots a Lantern in the garden and disintigrates it. Everyone else piles onto the dragon except for Ulvaar who takes out the wraithes. William uses the Arsenal of Dhbisu and his sword becomes holy overcoming the Raveners DR combined with flanking and the dragon being grappled it starts to take a lot more damage, and is finished off when the sniper 'misses' the king and accidentally crits the Ravener. The players by this point have identifed the sniper and realise that she probably is not performing so poorly for the Ob by accident.We then finished a bit early as the next combat against the professor, his goons, Romana and Cula would take too long.They are expectin the professor as Manuel remembered there as a lecturer in practical Necromancy at the university who had written a paper on raising dragons as undead and was the only person who had been called before the Ethics committee more often than Manuel (on a yearly average)</blockquote>
