The team rested on their barge and strategized. They prepared and cast numerous spells and quaffed potions before travelling back through the portal and making a beeline for the alleged lair. They found Veshrakul the Mirelord at home. And ready. He had two marsh giants, three boggards, and a half-dragon boggard with him. Within the lair, thornroot tangles erupted up through the mud damaging the team and slightly impeding free movement. The Mirelord was surrounded by ambient energy—a mix of electricity and profane energy—that blasted out as twin orbs of destruction each round to strike random foes. The dragon also dropped an enormous globe of darkness down upon the team. Nonplussed, Helg activated daylight and dispelled the gloom! Komorebi inspired the team with his bardic talents, giving them heart and courage. One of the giants hurled a boulder, side-arming it into Hekera with bone-jarring force. A marshpiercer boggard unleashed a volley of arrows at the gatorman as well. Finch turned invisible, as did Einar after getting struck by enemy fire. The croakbrute found itself fighting Snagy and Hekera and was soon dead. Adeline fired numerous arrows into the Mirelord’s hide, despite his partial submersion in the fetid water. Hekera and Hwrulf began doing what they do, drawing lots of blood, while Callum empowered a fireball.
The thornroots continued to erupt from the ground serving as an annoyance more than a threat. Profane electrical orbs arced around the battlefield, damaging many of the team. The dragon corrupted a great number of the team’s magical potions with one of its foul innate abilities! Snagy’s lance landed many solid strikes, and Komorebi dropped one of the giants into an illusory shadow pit! Finch began landing blows as Helg approached and channeled positive energy; however, he accidentally healed the giants as well. Hwrulf didn’t seem to mind. In fact, he seemed excited for the opportunity to chop on the same giant even longer. Adeline’s magic-laced arrows continued to find marks as Einar found himself pretty injured. The boggard acidscale hit the team with a cold-converted fireball and a steam cloud. Hwrulf, displaced due to a potion, fought and killed a marsh giant goon. The team scattered to escape the cloud, and one of the casts dispelled it.
The dragon dropped another globe of darkness; Helg succeeded in dispelling it! Komorebi cast heroic inspiration and shoved the team closer to victory. Boggards and giants began to full under sweeping and swinging blades. Helg cast flame strike while the brawlers moved in close. The watery bog proved a problem to most but not Hekera. He closed in and cut down the dragon! Moments later, Hwrulf hurled himself from the shore out to a rocky outcropping. He cut down the last of the defenders with his dragon-hating blade! With all the enemies slain, they looked around and found a pit containing an elven woman—Aratheas! The group gathered the dragon’s hoard and rescued Aratheas! What secrets can she tell them? What secrets will she tell them?
