The monarchs look at each other. They discuss very quickly between themselves in hushed tones and silent words. After their brief exchange they look back to the Pathfinders.
"You have wisdom in your words and ways, Quiselle says while motioning her hand forward, "for the sake of the forest you have my,support."
Vallahk stands to address you. "Here is my verdict. The fey under my rule will aid you with a price. Either you will return the dragons head to me or yours. May the hunt favor you with our blessing."
|
|
Enezial congratulates you all as she takes you back out of the Fey Court. "I can't believe you did it, those two almost never agree on what to do." She escorts the party towards the Kobold tunnels. "This is where they make their home. If you go,in there you,must be careful of traps."
She then points further down the path to the right. "But also down that way is where they take the wildlife to be fed to,the dragons. Whichever way you go you should be careful."
|
Skye turns to Enzial. "Thank you for introducing us to Vallahk and Quiselle. An amazing experience, I won't soon forget."
His eyes take in the snow-covered trees and the vast, beautiful mountainous landscape.
"In return for your help, I'd like to help you stop the theft of the wild creatures of the forest."
|
Fung looks towards the tunnels. Ever since his control of the elemental air has grown to the extent that even subconsciously, he can keep himself afloat in the air, small places start to feel claustrophobic to him. He knows eventually that they have to delve into the tunnels, but for now, staying out in the open calls to him more.
Besides, Skye has it right. The dryad has helped them, and it is only right to return the favour. "I agree."

The forest path leads northeast, where dense evergreens give way to steep, rocky foothills. Several intersecting trails lead up to the cave system’s main entrance partway up the Tusk Mountains.
Further up the path you hear the sounds of roaring and yapping. When the sight of it comes into view, you spot Kobolds torturing a large white bear. It looks extremely agitated and ready to attack anything looking at it wrong.
Polar Bear, Large N Animal. This large bear is completely white save for small black eyes and black lips hiding huge, glistening teeth.

The kobolds continue to mount a frustrating defense, luring Pathfinders into cramped and trap-filled tunnels and unleashing captive monsters on unsuspecting agents. Even so, the kobolds are losing ground with each battle. As another skirmish echoes from elsewhere in the caverns, a tremendous roar reverberates through the cave complex, rattling stalactites and causing snowdrifts to slide down the outside slopes. As the sound dissipates, the voice of a massive creature booms from deep within the kobolds’ warren.
The kobolds kowtow to the booming voice, scramble to their feet, and begin retreating deeper into the caves. For once they aren’t covering their tracks, so the way to the dragon’s lair is clear.

The mountain Kobold defenses have fallen and their retreat makes traversing the tunnels and caverns face little resistance. The tunnels eventually lead to a large circular chamber that stretches down into a central pit. Below you can see the frozen form of a figure trapped within ice and bones of dragons placed around it as some sort of shrine.
On the opposite end of the cavern sits a Dragon and some Kobolds, ready to challenge you to combat.
A Giant Juvenile White Dragon, Chaotic Evil. This dragon’s scales are a frosty white. Its head is crowned with slender horns, with a thin membrane stretched between them.

The dragon roars in pain as the arrow stabs him in the chest, divine power punishing it for it's wicked ways.
"WRETCHED CREATURES! I WILL RIP YOUR SOUL FROM YOUR FLESH AND MAKE IT MY PLAY THING UNTIL THE END TIMES!"
It takes flight, soaring across the pit and then unleashes its deadly frozen breath upon the clustered adventurers.
The kobolds draw their weapons, and move up to meet the Pathfinders in battle!
The Kobolds make their assault, and while Rallas is able to deflect the blow, Kitajo takes a devestating hit!

Element(s) fire or water; Type utility (Sp); Level 1; Burn 0
You are constantly protected by endure elements against cold temperatures only.
You gain cold resistance equal to twice your current amount of burn.
Malik covers himself from the blast, moves to use a convenient rock to shield himself from future breath attacks, instead of using a convenient Xuang, and decides to return the favor.
Desire does not always equal reality, however. His attack hits a cave wall (likely). He curses under his breath and observes the scene.

Malik's blast was unable to connect with the Dragon!
Kitajo manages his first blow against the Kobold, but the rest fail to contact. The Kobold's blood is rushing down his forehead.
Rallas manages a firm impact against the Kobold that dueled so deftly against him!
Skye lights the dragon up, and now it glows so bright the room has no more shadows.
Xuan and Shivalier may still yet end the battle!

Having a giant reptilian head in front on him gnashing his teeth is not where Fung intends to be, even if he was lucky enough to dodge out of the way of one attack. He tries to weave through the air dodge out of its way, while putting some distance from him.
Once he is out of reach, he releases a hasty bolt at the dragon, without the time to gather more energy into the attack.

The kbold makes an attack against Rallas, yet fails to connect!

Skye moves back into the cavern, stopping near the edge of the pit.
Again he calls upon the Song of Spheres. His eyes turn pitch black, and the colors around him drain for a moment. Stardust materializes around the green kobold, causing the wicked little humanoid to shed silvery light like a candle.
|
|
This time, Malik eats a full blast of fiery breath. He's not comfortable with the situatio and quickly starts putting out his robes. He also taps one of the bigger wounds to mend it.
"Now that's just rude, burping on people like that. Also- HOLY CRAP! What did you have for lunch?"
He makes sure to put out the fox pelt that's over his shoulders.
|
Shiv walks over to the edge of the pit, ready to shoot one of the kobolds, but when he notices the dragon's chest heave just a little as it draws breath, he decides it would be best to finish it off once and for all - rather than risk one of the kobolds somehow administering healing to bringing it back to consciousness.

Rallas seizes the opportunity of the dragon's fall. His kobold opponent looks away, distracted for just a moment, but it was all that Rallas needed. With a swift swing he lands the blade into the Kobold's neck, and it falls to the ground blood gushing profusely.
Kitajo's assault fails to connect with the Kobold, it having understood his combat methods and knowing when to parry and dodge. It seems to have a big toothy smile on its face, but then a powerful lightning bolt slams into it. The kobold does not even have time to register what happened, it crumbles into a limp pile of burning flesh.
Shiv realizes the possibility of the dragon returning is a threat the Pathfinders would not want to face. Smiting evil for the last time today, he draws upon his powers and launches another arrow into the dragon, ending its miserable life once and for all.
As Malik decides to patch himself of the burns that the Kobold kept pounding on him, Skye lights up the kobold with his shamanistic powers! The effects of the shaman's lights seem to blind the kobold, and it tries to fire its last breath at anyone.
It manages to see the vague form of Skye and launches its fire breath at him!
