As the fight continued and it became increasingly apparent that the dragon was no match for our strength, it burrowed its way back into the wall, sealing up the entry way so we could not follow.
There were a few tense moments before beast reappeared, but at the top of a fifty foot ledge, well out of our range. Most of us hid behind rocks and stalactites, to protect ourselves from the lighting blast that was sure to follow. However Peak Hunter was caught in the electric flow and was nearly killed.
Seeing that its electric breath was useless the dragon retreated and attempted to kill the woman we had come to save. We heard her screams and immediately leapt into action to save her. Groehl used his magic to levitate to the top of the ledge, and Rorrin used his grappling hook and rope, which I held onto as well. We rushed to the top of the ledge, the others following, only to be met by another plast of the Dragons breath. Sadly, this attack proved to much for Grok Buk who died instantly. Enraged by the sight of our fallen comrade we fell upon the dragon and slew it quickly.
The foul beast is dead. The treasure is ours. But the girl we came to save has fled... |
