Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.
With the siege nearly broken, Commander Pharamol asked the team to strike directly at the enemy commander, General Malesinder who was even then trying to rally the troops for one more assault. The team contacted their mercane merchant and purchased a bunch of potions of invisibility and cast numerous enhancement spells upon themselves. They then swooped in to attack the general. They found her on the battlefield barking orders, they ambushed her. It began with Tulvur trying to gracefully dive off his bonded dragonkin and instead face-planting invisibly in the snow. He tried to make up for it by demoralizing the general, but since she could not see him, it was just odd sounds among the retreating army. Ten-Penny bravely stepped up and fired a dragon-bane bolt given to her by Commander Pharamol. Sadly, the bolt bounced of the general’s scales. The team began to swarm in, and their dragonkin ally, Efrixes, breathed fire over the general. Deska tried to end the fight with baleful polymorph, but it did not take.
Malesinder was close to surrounded, and she desperately tried to drive her enemies back with her icy breath. It did tremendous damage, but the team already had the upper hand. She was too swarmed to flee, and she went down beneath a hail of blades and spells. There was much rejoicing at Spurhorn that evening, and the team was hailed as heroes. They were awarded the two-headed eagle as payment. Commander Pharamol told them about a larger army gathered at the command of a dragon named Yrax at a stronghold named Ivoryglass. Meanwhile, the team tried to puzzle out the meaning of their remaining clues: a hand mirror and an elephant tusk. They finally realized they were meant to be combined in name, a looking glass and an ivory tusk… Ivoryglass.
Several of the Dragon Legion volunteered to fly the team most of the 200 miles to Ivoryglass. They dropped them off nearby so they could infiltrated on foot. They came across a wolf-like adlet on the run for her life from two massive ursikkas! The insect-like monsters had already injured her. The team engaged and found the monsters hit with tremendous force. Shatha and Tulvur got in trouble early. Greta managed to slay one, but soon Tulvur lay dead on the ground. Finally, the team won the battle and Magnus healed much of the party, including the adlet woman who was being chased. They began trying to communicate with her as Deska reincarnated Tulvur. The team was appalled by the sudden horrific stench that assaulted them as his body reformed…
