The heroes (Torr with Zayüß, Idky, Lowdog with Woxin the eagle, Tensay the snow leopard, and Diawané the grizzly, Yavin, and Stephan with Peter) cast a series of buffing spells including aid, prayer, and protection from evil before facing the lava dragon. Yavin then attempts a precognitive trance but fails to gain any insight.
The heroes enter the dragon’s cavern. As soon as the over 100' long dragon sees them at the mouth of the cave, it breathes lava at them. Amazingly, the heroes all survive the onslaught and rush in to attack. Yavin mind thrusts but fails. Stephan flies into the cavern. The rest charge up and surround the dragon, but fail to land a hit. Zayüß gets knocked over by the dragon’s wing and Idky gets hit by the tailswipe. Stephan tries to fly invisibly to sneak up on the dragon, but the dragon tailswipes him, slamming him into the ceiling and stunning him. He then falls to the ground, stunned.
Idky backs out of combat. Torr and Lowdog manage to connect, doing damage. Zayüß brings it to the point of teetering.
The dragon splats the invisible and stunned Stephan, splattering blood all over the chamber. Lowdog kills the dragon and dives into the blood, but pausing first to make the bloodstone on the medallion.
Idky tends to Stephan to bring him up
Dragon treasure:
Malachite box
Wrought platinum orb set with diamonds
2 slightly melted silver orbs
Javelin inlaid with gold, head is pinkish gold (orichalcum) * decent plus w/ evoc & minor div.
Bronze plate mail *
Yavin notices there is a huge vein of orichalcum in this cavern, a powerful, mystical metal from the ancient civilization of Morgan (on Oerth). The cleric of Celestian recalls from his time with the Egg of the Eons -- this substance has powerful properties to transmit and shape the flow of magic, much like an Atlantean version of mirthril.
The heroes follow the large passage out the other side of the dragon cave to see where it might lead. A short distance, it branches. In the center of the large one is a pool of lava with 14 salamanders. The group bolts back to the dragon’s chamber, get the animals and leave.
Getting back to the big chamber, they run into lavamen, who follow them out. Idky casts tongues to tell them that the dragon is dead. They thank them and warn them not to return.
On the way back toward the goblin encampment, encounter a war party of strong goblins. They start shooting at the party. Stephan and Zayüß get hit. Before melee ensues, Yavin telepathically communicates with them and get them to back off. The heroes then arrive in the goblin lands, immediately to be approached my merchants and charlatans...
That night, Lowdog dreams of where another portal is: two rifts away in a tropical rift
Eeps: 4400 ea.
4000 for mission accomplished
The heroes start their trek toward the rift. Upon leaving the valley, six yetis ambush them. One is wielding a blade of ice. The fighters absorb their charge but Zayüß gets damaged very badly in the first round.
Stephan magic missiles one yeti on Zayüß and Lowdog kills another one quickly as Torr stuns both of his. Zayüß nearly kills one, who backs off. Yavin makes telephathic contact with the fleeing one, who informs him that they’re hunting. They should let them leave so they won’t kill the party.
Torr kills both of his the next round. Lowdog jumps over to help Zayüß, killing the remaining two on him.
The yeti bargains with Yavin for his life. He calls off the snow leopard attack as a sign of faith. Yavin gives him a goodberry, and he becomes very cooperative. He gets a mental map of how to avoid polar worms
Yeti is their guide to go along the path to avoid the polar worms. It takes 33 days. No encounters
Eeps: 466 each
