Moonleaf, who was trailing behind Remort, notices the dragon behind the party (and the corona of white light around the psionist's head!) and runs up past him to alert the group. Nebra also raises the alarm, albeit hysterically. Hamish and Idky, at the front of the party, hear what’s happening. Hamish rushes back and Idky starts casting prayer. Katya starts casting monster summoning IV. Remort time shifts himself 20 seconds in the future. Hamish, not seeing anything behind Remort, waits for the dragon to come around the curve in the hall.
Katya’s spell summons three hell hounds, and she directs them to move around “the dead woman” and attack the dragon. Unfortunately, two get too close to Moonleaf and are caught by her fear aura. One cowers behind Katya, and the other collapses in a coma before Moonleaf.
Borlon telepathically scans down the hallway, searching for the dragon’s mind. He detects something there but still can’t tune in on the dragon's thoughts. Artec runs back to join Hamish. Moonleaf casts faerie fire down the hallway, revealing the outline of an invisible dragon (as well as tagging the hell hound), now limned in glowing illumination! Unfortunately, the hell hound perceive the dragon until it’s too late. Then the dragon lets loose with a lightning bolt down the hallway. The dragon roars, calling out to some “others” that there are intruders.
Artec rushes up ahead to see around the bend and shoots. Unfortunately, he can't see much in the darkness other than the glow of a faerie fire which his arrow hits, killing Katya’s hell hound. A couple more arrows don’t touch anything. Apparently, the dragon has withdrawn or has gone invisible again. Borlon, inside it’s head, reports that the dragon has run off to get something to flush them out--blood-sucking mosquitoes!. It also knows that Borlon is inside it’s mind.
Borlon blocks the hall with a wall of fire allowing the party (Idky, Maedhros, Artec, Katya, Hamish, Kinsa, Remort, Borlon, Gilean, and Moonleaf) to regroup and move on toward their goal, following Idky’s find the path spell. Ahead, Idky sees a small black dragon sneaking in the darkness. Hamish doesn’t see it and gets caught by its acid spit, but his acid resistance protects him. The dragon runs off.
The heroes find a magical trap along the way and aren’t able to dispel it. So Katya casts monster summoning I. Nothing happens right away, so they wait. As they wait, Borlon attempts to locate the dragon. Then 18 giant mosquitoes show up, and Katya sends them down the hallway. The don’t set off any traps, so she casts another spell and summons a number of small lizards. They set off multiple magic mouths farther down. The heroes continue on.
They come to a mechanical trap, which Hamish ferries everyone over. They come to an area that extinguishes the light stones at the front of the party. Borlon casts a light spell in an attempt to cancel out the darkness, but it doesn’t work. Moonleaf casts log of everburning on torches for the party. Artec scouts ahead with his infravision. He sees a large chamber. He sees something cold and metallic at the bottom of the downward slope of the room. Borlon then casts dispel magic to get rid of the magical darkness.
They see a large room filled with treasure. There’s a trap triggered by a trip wire, which Borlon faerie fires so no one triggers the trap. Borlon fills one passageway with a wall of fire to limit the directions an attack could come from. They set up warding spells (glyph of warding and wyvern watch) and prepare to fight. Meanwhile, Moonleaf and Katya start to cast detect magic spells so they can identify magical items in the treasure. Remort sets off five glyphs, which kills him. But there are about eight more. Idky dives in to cast heal on him and sets off two more glyphs. Gilean also jumps over and sets off two more glyphs. Then Moonleaf sets off two more. They also set off a large number of alarm spells and magic mouths.
After regrouping and healing up a bit, they notice arranged around the room, below the glyphs, are stone tablets. Borlon resumes scanning for the dragon’s mind and gets him. He detects his mind and starts to monitor his thoughts. The dragon polymorphs itself into a kobold for some reason. Remort also starts scanning for minds and finds one of Katya’s conjured lizards.
Some of the party members notice some noise in the gold pile. That’s when Borlon reports that he’s lost the fix on the dragon’s mind because it teleported. Then he screams a warning and dives out of the room. Then the dragon appears in the room against the back wall.
Remort hits it with a mind thrust, temporarily confusing it. Then Gilean hits him with id insinuation, confusing him. Maedhros casts hold monster, but it resists. Katya casts monster summoning IV, and two giant wasps appear. She sends them in to attack the dragon. Hamish rushes in.
The dragon gets stung in the head by one of the wasps, causing it excruciating pain and stunning him. Maedhros lobs a frostball, which also kills the wasps. Hamish and Gilean attack, and an improved magic missile from Maedhros drops him. Meantime, Dagaru, who had run into Borlon’s wall of fire, reports that the smaller dragons had run to the wall and fled.
Time to go through the loot. There are three magical items visible -- two semi-precious gemstones and a bronze scimitar... Oh, and (literally) TONS of copper, silver, and gold coins...
