The Escape

by Dahlia Di Mare

* Dahlia and Struth, with the aid of Alf, were able to get Tyrone back out of the pit he fell in. They used the same rope that they had used to cross the gap.
 
* Once back out, Dahlia took the rope and they caught up to the rest of the group.
 
* Making their way back to Mal, he advised that he had communed with nature and that there were 2 ways out. 1 was a windy longer path and the other more direct, but blocked by orcs.
 
* They continued around the path, taking care not to misstep. Struth out in the lead, then Mal, Petros, Dahlia, Tyrone and Tyrian. Struth and Mal came up to an orc, which Struth was able to fling into the abyss. When they came to a second orc, Mal took care of it.
 
* Around the bend, they came to an opening and straight into the path of an orc. Mal moved out of the way to allow Struth to attack. Petros strummed a tune to help Struth out. Dahlia, Tyrone and Tyrian could not do anything as they were at the back and the path was only single file.
 
* With the orc killed, Mal moved back further to allow Struth to pass the opening as they could hear more orcs inside. They voiced that it would be best for the fighters to come upfront. Petros also moved away so that Dahlia could come in. Dahlia was able to take out the remaining 2 orcs with no issue. The party decided it was best if she were to led the party.
 
* Searching the room, Dahlia was able to find some things of use. She also ordered that Tyrone was fitted with armour and a weapon. They would teach him how to fight as he was Tyrian's clone so could prove to be useful.
 
* Struth made a fire to make it look like the orcs were still in the room.
 
* Moving to the other entry, Dahlia could hear the flapping of wings and looked straight out into the eyes of a young dragon. They stared at each other for a few seconds and then Dahlia moved back into the room. She warned the party.
 
* Petros cast Charm Monster but failed which then caused the dragon to attack the party. It cast lightning into the room, which struck all within.
 
* Dahlia moved to the entry and threw the javelin into the dragon. Tyrone tried to follow suit but his javelin flew wide. He then ran back to the other side to collect more javelins. Mal ran out of the first entry with the intention of running around to help flank the dragon.
 
* Petros cast Summon Creatures and summoned 2 griffins which attacked the dragon.
 
* Struth slid into the shadows and moved out of the cave, using the dragon's distraction to his advantage.
 
* Seeing that the dragon was indeed distracted, Dahlia moved out of the cave and past a hidden Struth. Tyrian told Tyrone to hurry up and follow then moved out as well.
 
* Petros decided to cast another spell and summoned 3 fiendish bats, who joined the battle against the dragon. He then cast invisibility and moved out of the cave.
 
* Mal continued to ran around, in the hopes of getting back to the other side as quickly as he could.
 
* Dahlia was able to reach the door to the exit and walked into a mausoleum. It was snowing and night time. The bars/door was locked.
 
* Petros cast another spell on the dragon, which held it so it was unable to fly. It plummeted into the abyss and the creatures all followed it to continue attacking it.
 
* Struth came into the room, followed by Tyrian and Petros. Ransacking the crypt, they were able to find some iron nails and sewing needles which Struth used to open the door. It did require some effort though.
 
* Dahlia went to make sure that Tyrone was ok and at this point, they could hear the dragon's last screech before it fell silent.
 
* They all left the crypt and walked into the moonlit night to find that they were now in a cemetary.
