Because of the fractures…..” asks Kim with true concern.“Minor irritation.  I will be fine.”“Then what is the problem?   For the past three days you have spoken but a few sentences and rarely look up.  It’s not your way.”Nothing.“Your knowledge of time…. Do we succeed?  Is there something ahead-  something terrible… something involving our deaths?”The gnome gives a brief eye contact and continues.   He felt bad scolding the dwarf about the use of people.   He still thinks it is wrong but is he not also guilty of it?   Perhaps even more so.  The guilt weighs heavy on the gnome’s shoulders.Suddenly they hear Play and Jasyne call out.  Black tentacles erupt from the ground and attempt to grapple the archer.  He has sprung from of it but it is clear they are under attack.Then comes the waves of fear.  The archer and dwarf force their will to overcome it but the others are caught up in the Frightful Presence as a large pale yellow and white dragon appears.  It is clear it is in a rage and mad….. crazy.“Karravandom….. The Dragon Fear is upon us then…. May Chronepsis have mercy on our souls….” Says the time traveler.“RARRRGH!   EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING MUST DIE!  MUST BE DESTROYED!”   Roars the crazed dragon in Draconic.“By the Host!  What has happened to it?  Dragons are not like this.” Calls out the archer as he pulls back the string to his spiritual bow.“I think I soiled myself.” Whimpers the Dark Lantern.  “Scatter!”Play will not fight a Huge and enraged dragon straight on.   Too scary.  Instead he pulls out his most powerful ranged attack wand and only as he calls the command word does he even wonder if it will work the Dragon.  The archer fires away.  Several shots fly way off target but one shot strikes the dragon in its open mouth (confirmed crit).  Glyder slowly step by step moves back.  “I am so sorry.  I am so sorry.  I am so sorry.” He repeats over and over.  Suddenly there are 11 of the dragons attacking. Calli calls out with her sonic attack and two dragons disappear.  “The dwarf warns everyone the dragon is using a basic but effective Mirror Image spell- does not waste your most powerful spells until we know which is the real dragon.  He castes Magic Missile and removes five dragons.Play’s magical mask allows him to see through the illusion and he releases the fireball from the wand.  Even then, the dragon sidesteps the worse of it.  A few arrows strike the dragon whom otherwise either dodged or swatted aside the others.  It roars in pain as the magical arrows explode on impact.  The crazed dragon rushes him suddenly. He gets off one desperate shot before the dragon is on him.  It goes to bite him but he steps to the side at the last moment.  However, he dares not to use the bow at such close location as this.  Still stepping back, Glyder, crying with tears rolling down his cheeks, begs for forgiveness.  Calli picks up stones and “attacks” the dragon images.  Three more disappear leaving only the one on top of Jasyne.  Kim Elderich calls out a powerful Polar Ray to avoid striking the Kensai Archer.Play calls on the wand again but it only washes over the dragon and its strong magical resistance. Jasyne mentally calls on the power of his cloak and attempts to go on the full defensive. (Cloak of Displacement).   The dragon attempts several strikes but misses each time either through his supernatural reflexes or through the magical effect of his displacement.  That is, until it decides to sit. He suddenly finds himself under the weight of the dragon and worse- pinned!   “You can overcome it oh grand and glorious Karravandom.  You can overcome the Dragon Fear!” the Time Traveler suddenly calls out as he draws on the strength of his god.  Calli goes for a scroll as she watches in horror.  The dwarf uses cold once more.  A Cone of intense cold erupts from his outstretched arms.  The dragon roars in defiance and motions to bite the trapped archer.Play decides the spells won’t work for him so he switches to his own bow.  Jasyne can only grunt and snarl as all but one arm and his head to pinned under the huge dragon.  The Dragon bites onto his arm and gnaws on it… savoring the sounds of his screams more than flesh and blood.“NO!  It is me you want!  Not him!   I brought you here.   I promised you death and yet you have come.”Before the gnome can go on the Dragon releases a gaseous spell effect from its mouth that sweeps over the gnome.   “No!” screams Calli whom rushes to her lover.  Kim takes the dragon’s distraction and attacks.  Black smoke bursts and forms over the dragon then glows a deep orange color before a column of raw flame strikes down.  The dragon shields itself as much as possible with its wing and shifting to side (while remaining on top of the archer with his painful arrows)Play fires his magical arrows which pale compared to the Kensai’s arrows.   One hits home while the others miss the still steaming dragon.  Symtex tries to grab and yank on individual scales to at least cause the dragon discomfort.  Sensing his death, the dragon bites down and claws at the trapped archer.  He screams as he begins to die.  Then to everyone’s horror- the screams abruptly end.   Glyder becomes disoriented and confused.  The effects of time twisting around him and now the Disjunction spell. His magical essence becomes weakened.  Calli goes to him.  “I’m sorry… I killed them.  I killed the dragon…. I may have killed all of them…..” he whimpers and sobs in her arms.  The dwarf calls up another spell in hopes of saving the archer.  Fire erupts over the dragon again.  It howls in madness and pain.  “You are next!” it screams in giant.  Then the full effect of the magical fire comes to the crazed mind of the once peaceful scholarly dragon.   It gets up and staggers to and fro then collapses a few mere feet from Kim.Play is quick to rush to the downed and pulped archer.  He begins to force feed him healing potions.  The purple color of the skin eases and bones audibly pop into place and begins to mend.  “Still…. Grandstanding… Play….?” He wheezes and passes out again.“Is your boyfriend okay?” asks a grim dwarf of Calli.“I think so.  The breath weapon of the dragon disconnected him from the powers of his god.”“Good.  I want him alive.  He has many questions to answer-  first of which- HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS DRAGON AND WHY DID YOU SAY YOU KILLED IT?!?” demands Kim motioning to strike the prone and deeply humbled gnome.</blockquote>
