Session 45

Setting: Brightforge

King Bonehammer stands at the front of what remains of his army. Lizzy and the High Priestess Sarah are leading his flanks. Salty stands next to him, nervously twirling a couple daggers. As his honor guard stand the IronSpikes.

The northern part of Brightforge now looks more like an extension of Kraet; filled with ice and snow. If one looks close enough, they would see the remains of the Goliath homesteads buried in it. Just south of the Ice Bridge looking on are thousands of Ice creatures in a variety of shapes. They are motionless, waiting for the Dwarves to make the first move.

The King shouts, “For Brightforge!!!” The Charge begins as both armies merge into one. The IronSpikes dive in carelessly, shredding the enemy to pieces with their armor. Salty carefully picks out his targets while watching the King’s back. Sarah’s left flank marches on while her Clerics begin Healing any wounded. Lizzy blows holes into the creatures with her two pistols. And the King himself uses his mighty hammer to destroy multiple creatures with each swing. The main battle has commenced.

Setting: The Dragon's Lair

In a cavern somewhere in the wild icy tundra of Kraet are the Order of Valor. Durzo with his Imp familiar, Rhaine, Edge, Zombie Koyassa, and Steam. Steam has just completed the spell to create a White Orb now in his hand. A portion of the domed roof collapsed in the explosion. They devise a plan to spread out as much as possible in the cave and wait for the Dragon. They don't have to wait too long as Xardith, Lord of Ice arrives to find its home partially destroyed. A tense battle ensues.

Setting: Brightforge

Lizzy and Sarah exchange words on the battlefield. It is currently not going well, and Sarah admits that something is wrong with their spells. As a new surge of even larger creatures enter the battlefield, hope seems to falter. And it's then that secret tunnel entrances burst open with Altuna and her band of reinforcements.

Setting: The Dragon's Lair

Xardith summons a group of Ice Creatures to turn the tide. The Order continue to fight hard and with a practiced strategy. Using its Icy breath, Xardith destroys the Zombie Koyassa. However, sensing the Dragon is weakened, The Frost Brand reaches out to Edge saying the time is near. With another barrage of attacks from the group, Xardith flies up to the broken ceiling of the cave. But that's not far enough to escape Steam, who casts levitate on himself. He reaches out with the newly made White Orb and is able to re-capture Xardith.

Upon his defeat, the ice creatures smash into pieces, and the cave itself begins to crumble in on itself ...
