Session 44

Setting: Outside the Tower Eternal

After Koyassa touched the Red Orb to the door, it absorbed into the Tower itself, which began glowing red. The fight continued in the courtyard. Looking rough, Koyassa attempted to Teleport away, but the magical energy fizzled out. As she tried to run away, Steam cast Finger of Death, killing her and making her a zombie under his control.

The Tower began to crumble away as the red hue grew. The team were able to get far enough away to Teleport back to the Dirty Cantrip. Durzo sent a Message to Xaraiya warning her of the state of the Tower. She, Gene, and Rene's daughter escape thanks to the self sacrifice of Click. Unfortunately, Rene died in the fight.

The Order meet Queen Syeese in front of Hendolin Stronghold, and decide to sail with her fleet to the battle. They take a much-needed long rest on the voyage. Rhaine talks to Syleese about how her brother died. She tells him there is a place for him, and possibly the remaining Shadow Walkers in Errista. After their rest, the team comes up with a plan. They decide to be taken north of the Ice Bridge into Kraet. There, Steam will lead them to the White Dragon's lair where they plan to create a White Orb. They hope the blast from the creation will cause destruction to the lair and draw the Dragon to them.

Setting Kraet

Steam leads the team through the familiar tundra and expertly tracks to the hidden Dragon Lair. Durzo and Edge battle the two Frost Giant guards while Steam gets to work creating the Orb. Rhaine stands watch during the process. With the guards dispatched, the whole team is inside to witness the explosion of magical energy that rocks the cave. A portion of the domed roof collapses in the process, but a White Orb is created.

Setting: Eastern Shore of Brightforge

Captain Keddes, Daghrim Stormbrewer and the Princess of the High Seas watch from their fleet as the Dragon turns in the air for another attack. Rehles arises from the sea to protect them. There is a heated battle between the two behemoths. The Dragon uses its icy breath to freeze Rehles' throat and rip it out. It then roars and flies north towards its lair. Xardith, Lord of Ice, is on the way ...
