Zendya resists the effect of the breath and bonks the creature, though the injury seems to be a bit less than expected.
Darius flails about with the deadly, legendary weapon... and only lands one solid blow on the small, blind goatman.
Green takes a step, following after Zendya and attacks.
Red utilizes the attack that just struck to try and swing at a target.
Finally Blue swings at Sera before stepping to the side.

And with the combined assault, the final creature ceases to be a threat.
With the city somewhat safe and the enemy defenses reduced, the group heads back towards the army encampment. The weight of their recent battles fresh in their minds. Small clusters of enemies can be spotted, but they quickly flee from sight and avoid conflict, and all seems well.
Until the roar.
A great and malevolent sound that ripples through the streets, shaking the buildings and rattling the teeth of our heroes.
Looking for the source of the sound, eventually you spot a grey/white shape in the skies above the city. It also seems to take note of you and draws its wings in, hurtling towards the ground.
Stopping suddenly a mere twenty feet above, the beast lets out another, yet tamer roar, as it flaps its wings menacingly. Snow white fur and scales blend the amalgam of monsters, so you can't tell where one ends and the next begins, but the beast with the heads of a snow leopard, a white dragon, and a mountain goat clearly seeks prey, and you are it.

1. Resist acid 10, cold 10, fire 10
2. Mythic Breath (Su) Soltengrebe’s breath weapon is enhanced from a normal chimera’s. It deals 6d8 cold damage and 2d8 piercing damage in a 40-foot cone of freezing wind and shards of jagged ice.
"Hail Iomedae, full of grace, Hallowed by thy name. Please strike this creature blind for your humble servant." Wally recites as he casts Blindness/Deafness on the monster. Then he breaks away from the rest of the group.
Walton sends a prayer out to Iomedae, but it falls on deaf ears as the beast resists the magic.
Salvatore will relay the information about the creature. Then he will take a 5ft step and spend a full round action to use an Arcane Point to use Quick Study to switch out Dispel Magic for Haste.
Then Salvatore will use a Mythic Point using Arcane Surge and cast Burst of Radiance at the creature as a swift action.
Serafina will ready an action to Vital Strike if the creature comes within reach.
Sal does some mystical magical stuff, before sending sparkles at the beast, dealing some damage to it. Serafina prepares for action, but the monstrosity lands and breathes it's frosty breath in the direction of the demigods. The chill cuts deep on most of the chimera's foes.

Darius sets up to battle the beast, while Pyro throws flames at the large creature. He manages to pierce some of the resistance, but the blow seems less effective than expected.

With the heroes shifting around the field, the great beast steps closer to the nearest warrior, Darius, and unleashes it's full fury.
As the dragon and leopard head fight over the bigger piece, the creature glows with a golden nimbus, their jaws clamping down and tearing at the flesh.
The paladin feels a surge of power and resists some of the damage from the deadly bite, maintaining his hold on life.

Salvatore will move 30ft and then cast Haste catching Darius and Serafina.
Then Salvatore will use a Mythic Point using Arcane Surge and cast Burst of Radiance at the creature as a swift action.
The creature shrugs off the greater effect of Salvatore's spell, while Sera moves closer and flails wildly at the beast, only managing to land a single blow, and even that seems to do less damage than she expected.
Soltengrebbe reacts, tearing into the armored female this time. With that dragon and leopard fighting again over the meal, the creature glows once again and the jaws clamp down on the fighter hard, rendering her unconscious.

With a superior effort, and the blessings of Erastil, Darius zeroes in on a weak spot of the beast. Hacking and slashing at its necks, until the creature staggers and starts to fall. Then, Pyro sends an intense wave of purifying flames to wash over the dying chimera, sending up a thick cloud of smoke. From within the haze, there is a yellow glow of the chimera, and it stands up on it's hind legs, ready to strike. But no blow comes. As the smoke thins and blows away, the shape remains in the terrifying stance, though the material of the body is no longer present.
Then, with a crack that sounds like thunder, three beams shoots out of the yellow form, striking Darius, Salvatore, and Walton. No harm can be felt, but strength pours into each of them. After that, the beast is no where to be found, and the air is calm and still.
The trek back to the encampment is silent and no further enemies dare try to waylay the group.
Salvatore would like to ask around the caravan to try to find masterwork thieves tools.
You are able to locate a couple sets of tools in the caravan for purchase.
Salvatore will buy 1 set of Masterwork Thieves Tools.
A messenger brings notice that Nurah has gone missing, with her tent standing empty and all of her belongings seeming to vanish as well. Searching the camp, no one recalls seeing her leave, nor the last time they even laid eyes on her.
The following morning, the army prepares for war.
With the camp struck, the Knights of Kenabres are ready to move in closer to Citadel Drezen and begin the prolonged siege. Having stopped the nearer bridge from being destroyed, the army is able to make a swift approach and embed themselves in the grounds nearby. The next several weeks see the fighting spark all around the citadel as the Knights seek a way to breech the gates and enter the old fortress.
Sosiel "Aron has uncovered a weakness in the wall. It will take some time to break it down, but a small force could move in now and potentially eliminate the leaders within the citadel. It would be best to strike while the armies are engaged to keep from being overwhelmed. Do you think you blessed ones could handle this task?"
"Most assuredly. May the light of Iomedae guide our way."
Of course we will vanquish our enemies inside. Please stay vigilant on the outside of the walls. We will finish inside as quick as we can. Salvatore will look at the rest of the group. Let's show them what we are made of.
With Aron guiding the ground, he leads them to the opening, a spot not to terribly far from the front gates, but just enough to the side to not be in direct line of sight.
"A long time ago I was in this very building. I made you a bit of a map from memory, but I dunno if or what may have changed in there. Hopefully you can track down whoever is in charge there, and maybe even get lucky and find the Sword while you're at it."
He hands over the crude map, showing dozens of rooms and corridors.
"May Iomedae watch over ye. Good luck in there."
Thank you for the map. We will vanquish our foes and return victorious.
Wally and Z recite a quick prayer and head in behind Darius.
Serafina will looks at Darius, Let's lead the way and take care of this shall we.
