So... we continued our fight with the gold dragon. Crestin jumped on its back and took it for a drive, which looked like a very crazy sight. Dragon wasn't too please about being paralyzed twice so it came after me. Burned off a lot of hair, and singed my cloak. Going to have to fix that when we rest. After that it's a pretty big blur. I kept going closer and closer to the light and then being swung right back into the mortal realm. I don't know if Siona was watching her ring but I could only image the colors flickering quickly as the battle field got sorted out. REALLLLLLLY thankful the group kept me going in the end. Eventually we killed the dragon and all the plant people. Getting rid of the dragon led us to the symbols for the trial. Jean also found a magic bag, I bet it's an artifact. I'll have to ask Jean about it when we have some down time.
Also, the dragon told us it would be back. Gotta imagine it won't be happy to see us next time.
From there, we got out of the trial and laid in front of the very pleasant lake. I'm going to need to rest for like a month and let this burns heal right. Never fought a dragon before, don't really want to do it again. This trials seem to get more and more difficult and I'm honestly worried what we will face next. We gotta figure some way to keep everyone up because with the way things are going, next time we will all be on our backs. Don't want another gnoll event to happen, doubt dragons take prisoners. I should talk to Ephraim, gotta imagine he's pretty shook up after going down as well. Death sounds like a nice topic to bond over...
