Last night on The Further Adventures of the Derailers…
When last we left our party, they were sent through a tree by Wander’s (great, great) Aunt Vineyard (Mountainroot Clan Elder) to the Forest that Breathes. Upon arriving, we realized that our new party member, Zezu, did not follow us through the tree and we are back to a party of 4 for the moment.
We fought a headless black dragon. Just… no head. Spews acid out of it’s neck-hole and could sense where you were through vibrations. Just great. Took out the Wander and Nahtan in one fell, 66 point spurt of acid. Death saving throws are terrifying when you’re the only one that can cast Revivify. Luckily, the Yevin swooped in and saved the day. And then (eventually) Wander killed the beast with Flamestrike.
Nahtan continues to learn how to Paladin. This week he discovered “lay on hands.” The Arunak now has a flying sword.
We met with a Council of Dragons, got a lot of expository dialogue, and have been given the quest to kill an immortal dragon hunting follower of Tiamat so the Council can help us save the rest of the world. Oh and find the “Feeble mind gem” to keep the evil grandfather of dragons from being dug up and turned into a dracolitch by the orcs.
Now we get to go talk to the head of the black dragon we killed (because he was cursed and apparently likes to chat with people) and find out if he know’s where to get a seed of the feywild.
Wander talked to Knowledge a bit and feels a lot better about helping send all of her people to hide in the Feywild. We’re heading toward some tearful goodbyes…
