The Stirge…in the Observatory…with the Mace

How fare ye, me lambkins?

Pardon me, I’m trying out some medieval talk, but it doesn’t feel quite right yet. I’ll keep toiling.

Let’s reintroduce the party, shall we?

Fiona: Lightfoot Halfling Rogue (Jenny)
Thalia: High Elf Wizard (Kurt)
Gallan (Sidekick): Wood Elf Fighter (Kurt)
Ahfa: Human Paladin (Brent)
Zulu (Sidekick): Dwarf Cleric (Brent)

For brevity’s sake, I’ve formatted tonight’s adventures differently. I’ve tapped into my deep-rooted, indispensable notetaking skills for tonight’s recap.

1. Finally, Runara!

* Thalia = excited

2. Are they worthy? TRIVIA TIME!

* Zulu – Who is Bahamut?
* Fiona – What are the two families/types of dragons?
* Ahfa – The dragon imprisoned underneath Stormwreck Isle – Sharruth the ____________? (Worth noting: Ahfa’s response is Mwa-ve.)
* Thalia – Bronze and blue dragon’s breath weapon/damage type?

3. Satisfied, Runara has a surprise: She is A HUGE Adult Bronze Dragon

4. Her Tale

* Stormwreck Isle has always attracted dragons, dragon-types, etc.
* Centuries ago, a blue dragon came to seek the power here
* Runara killed him, regretfully
* Devoted to peace and restoration and lighting the path for others
* Take my black moonstone key
* Go to the observatory for what you seek

5. Key, dragon statues, bridge to Observatory, Main Rotunda/Plaza

6. Kobolds vs. Stirges (8)
* Spotted by Ahfa
* Thalia – Sleeps 4 stirges and 1 Kobold
* Fiona, Zulu take pierce/Blood Drain damage
* Ahfa, Fiona, Zula make stirge kills
* Charlie Brown football scenario between Fiona & Gallan

7. The Kobold Bros

*Mek & Min – Myla’s brothers!
* Surprised and pleased to hear she is alive
* Driven off during a stirge attack; Myla left for dead

*Been in Sparkrender’s service for a year (blue dragon wyrmling)
** Sparkrender arrived to complete a ritual that will allow him to harness ancient dragon power here
** Bronze dragon arrived days ago, the two fought
** Bronze dragon prisoner here
** KoBros scared to depart

8. Rotunda Fun and Tower Power

* Thalia investigates the enormous larger-than-life celestial model in the middle
** Appears to be replica of celestial bodies currently in sky
** A comet nears “earth” – portent?
* Crude pulley gives path to higher tower to northeast
*Thalia turns Fiona invisible so she can scope it out
*She sees:
** Four alabaster statues, all pointing in different directions
** Sleeping blue creature in corner, size of large bear
** Creature appears to be sleeping

9. Fiona returns to group

*Mek & Min won’t fight
*Weaknesses? Insult its pride.
*It flies, has lightning breath, and claws

So. The question now remains: what to do about the dragon?
