The battle with the dragon starts. She immediately starts off the battle by blasting us with fire and dealing 90 points of damage to the majority of the party. During the battle the dragon tail whips us, slashes, and bursts noxious poisonous gas from the earth. The battle is tough and rages for a while. Eventually Clauth. manages to use frightening presence and frighten most of the party.
The dragon takes down a majority of the party with powerful group attacks. Caulkin manages to land the final blow. Brylwynn uses mass cure wounds and resurrects the body.
As the drag lays dead before us, we feel a wave of us overcome us. There is the sensation of a steam cleanse, as an ancient red dragon dies. It has lived for nearly 1,000 years and taken down many clans and other folks. We can get to its treasure, but we feel much more waves of approval from our deities, gods, and patrons. We level up to level 17!
We got into the cave and find the Clauth’s hoard. Inside we see a GIANT hoard of coins. We approximate nearly 21,000 in gold and gemstones, 2k worth of diamonds, 4 scrolls (2 5th level, wall of light, telekinesis, 1 level 6 and 1 level 8 scroll), set of +1 heavy armour of the divine (after a long-rest you can), there is a +2 shield of strength (bard spell doubling spell attack ability),
In the cave we hear a deep booming voice. “At least, one of my scepters in free from that chromatic scum. Go ahead, RC, take it. Along, it is merely a scepter but with it’s twin, makes it similar to a god.” The voice states to reward RC for his doings. RC is then bathes in a radiating glowing light and his eye starts glowing in platinum and it becomes legendary.
Sypha in the divine glow of RC she hears a voice in her head. “Something is wrong… I can’t sustain … I cannot provide you with my assistance anymore. I must preserve my strength.” “I am not a god anymore, just a fey prince. Once these fine heroes rescue me, your service will be paid twice over, but for now, keep faith.” Sypha states that the Prince of Frost better hold up his end of the bargain.
In the end, Sypha returns to Waterdeep.
Before she goes back to Waterdeep, she stays with the group and tries to learn more about the Prince of Frost. Specifically, she spends a lot of time with Pearl and they share their dreams.
+1 Heavy Armor of Divine. After finishing a long rest, you can choose one type of damage to be resistant to. You cannot change it again until you finish a long rest short of a Wish spell. Additionally, you can entreat your deity and double the number of your remaining pool of Healing Hands. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again for 7 days.
+2 Shield of Strings. Once per short rest, any time you cast a bard spell that targets one creature, you can target a second creature within 30 feet of it. You must make a separate attack roll, or the creature gets to make a separate saving throw.
Two level 5 scrolls, Wall of Light & and Telekinesis, one level 6 scroll, and a level 8 scroll.
21,000 18k gold after Sypha takes her well-earned cut worth of gold and gemstones.
2k worth of diamonds
At last. One of my scepters, finally free of that villainous chromatic scum. Take it, RC. It is yours. On its own, it is merely a scepter, but, if you can combine it with its twins, you will have a relic worthy of a god. But do not think slaying such a mighty foe has no reward. We have noticed how you staved off the wicked Zariel from stealing all of Ba’muts souls at once. For your service, and finally stealing back one of my scepters, you will be rewarded. I urge the rest of your compatriots to step back. And you feel a radiating warmth from your eye socket as you’re bathed in radiant light as your eye becomes legendary and rises in rank.
