Session 34 Recap: "The Battle of Crimsonwich Pt. 2"
General Summary
The fighting continued with unbridled savagery across the whole of Crimsonwich. Even Fortune's Favored, who had turned away two major assaults, started to feel the fatigue as they returned to the Temple of Haliel to regroup. There, they ran into a bit of a latecommer to the ongoing conflict, a dwarf by the name of Darwaen Stoutarm who eagerly joined the fight as the great bulk of the red dragon Abithiriax soared overhead and finally entered the fray himself.
Gouts of fire set large swaths of the city ablaze in his wake, even as he at last came face-to-face with Fortune's Favored and the elves of the Tiri Kitor. Staring down the maw of the great dragon, the group braced themselves for his wrath, only for the familiar shape of Regiriax to materialize out of the smoke filled sky and slam into the other dragon.
But for all his might, magic, and majesty, it was not enough to break the assault against him, as Fortune's Favored carved away at the red dragon until a well placed arrow from Last Leaf punched through his scaly hide and brought the dragon crashing back to earth for the last time. In the midst of ensuring the dragon's body would be useless to try and revive, Yvonne recieved a message from Captain Grayson, cheering the dragon's death, then abruptly cut short with as she was asking for the group to try and reenforce Lord Jarmath.
With a feeling of dread, the group hurried to the temple square, only to find the body of Lord Jarmath with an arrow through the neck, and Captain Grayson gut-shot and trying to warn off the grou from getting any closer. It quickly became apparent they had walked into the line of fire of a sniper, forcing the group to try and pick their way from cover to cover to try and avoid the arrows picking them off with unnerving accuracy.
However, as the group arrived at the sniper nest the Abashai of the Silent Dark, Skather, had made for himself, they were shocked to discover he was the one being hunted by none other than Elissabet. Verna, struck with one of Skather's arrows and bleeding out, found herself on the recieving end of Elissabet's aid as the vampire savaged Skather and left him little more than a dessicated corpse. Perplexed as to the change of heart, Elissabet offered Verna few answers, instead giving her the inky black shroud before vanishing as quickly as she'd come.
The sounds of fighting were drawing ever closer, as Fortune's Favored attempted to rally their remaining allies and assess what resources they still had left, when none other than Darian Backblade stepped into the fight, and leveled the entire square with little more than a spell. As the smoke settled and the destruction became apparent, Captain Grayson turned with an apology, before transforming before Fortune's Favored into a celestial being poised to strike Darion alongside them in one last stand for Edenia's future...
