Tathlum Mission Failure


Hell's Vengeance


My PC's were combating the gold dragon Parnoneryx, when they were almost all were disabled by his strength draining breath attack. We have a very liue strength team (winter witch, goblin swashbuckler, range inquisitor), only the cleric was able to make it out unscathed but in her panic to end the battle she used destruction. Parnoneryx was still suffering from an evil eye affect so he failed and died instantly. It wasn't until after the literal dust cleared that she realized her mistake.

I'm not quite sure where to go after this. They're thinking about buying a scroll of true resurrection and fighting him somewhere contained. Do you folks have any interesting suggestions on what to do?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I like the idea. The soul has to be willing to return but since in the conclusion the dragon is very eager to return and take revenge anyway, their resurrection would work just fine.

You could make a small sidequest too where the have to leave Cheliax and travel somewhere far and wide to find another good aligned dragon. But I really would leave them get on with their plan. Let them enjoy preparing better and setting up the controlled environment.

Or... hihihi... "You only find a scroll of wish. Now what EXACTLY do you wish for?"

Then you can put in a little surprise. Not to give them a hard time or anything but wish has so much potential for fun!


have the dragon come back maybe with some help from the spiritual powers of some of the heroes they have slain in the past.

"As the dragon materializes a heavenly glow surrounds the room, stepping from the glorious radience is a familiar figure. Her face an unmoving platinum mask of stoic faith, gossamer wings of blades unfold from her back. The Angel Knight Reborn!"

I think its best to let the players do it. The dragon will come back later on its own anyway, the players may see it a twice resurrected dragon as becoming a pattern from the DM rather than 'it was our choice the first time'

I meant as the PC's perform the resurection have something come with it.
