A Duel of Dragons

As the party traveled back to Waterdeep from the Sea of Moving Ice, Kerri disembarked at the city of Luskan in order to meet up with the Arcane Brotherhood and return their stolen books. (And perhaps convince them to join the cause!) The rest of the party continued to sail south.

Sometime that afternoon, Charimon spotted a gold speck off in the distance, the sunlight making it sparkle like a far away gem. As it drew closer, Charimon recognized it as some sort of gold-skinned humanoid flying towards the ship.

A moment later, Auric the once-dragon "half-elf" landed on the deck of the ship, a giant grin on his face.

"Where's Kerri??" he asked. "I've been sent to join her and her friends."

Much to Auric's sadness, he learned that he would not be able to meet up with Kerri until the next Council of Waterdeep. Still, he had no time to feel lonely, for at that moment a sinister bluish shape appeared high in the sky, the sun framing its form: a blue dragon, with five people on its back.

The dragon tore down through the air, intent on engaging with the heroes. Auric immediately turned to his replacement-Kerri, the fighter Belkira (played by Colby), and made her and himself invisible. The black-robed assassins leapt from the back to attack the heroes. A furious battle ensued, in which the dragon's fearsome lightning breath weapon wreaked havoc on the heroes and the assassins alike. Fortunately, due to the quick thinking and martial prowess of the adventurers, the tide was soon turned in their favor.

The final blow of the battle was dealt by Auric: summoning every ounce of his draconic magic, he opened his mouth and released a deluge of flame upon the blue dragon, which staggered for a moment before toppling into the sea. It was a glorious day for flames.
