Long Rest Trauma™
S02E51
The giant blue dragon, Iymrith, speaks to Harshnag and states that she is not surprised to see him there. Harshnag says that “I’ll have to go like I lived - fighting dragons.” At that moment, the dragon flies down towards Harshnag. “You cannot doddle, fly you fools!!” It seems as if Harshnag is sacrificing himself for the group. The blue giant launches a torrent of lightning at Harshnag. The battle ensues as the party runs away with Harshnag eventually falling prone. The chase goes on as we try to run out of the temple. Ari speaks to the dragon who makes an offer for her to not chase us.
She tries making an offer for the Rod of The Vonindod. She also adds the Staff of Defense. [8:15 pm]
We exit the temple and decide to cross the landbridge to try and put some distance between us and the giant. As we go across the chasm, off to the right, we see a gigantic red balloon that appears affixed to a sleigh or toboggan. There are rope ladders tossed off the side of the vehicle and a figure approaches the edge.
She has a telescope . She has red-toned skin with a trifold hat with horns and a long, black braid. She has a long pirate jacket, dripping in jewel tones from head to toe.
She introduces herself as Sypha, and there is a small crew who is working with her to manage this balloon ship. She is shocked to see Bahmut. They were sent to the area as they were working for researchers out of Silverymoon.
We share introductions and speak as we get to know Sypha. She has a fire and air elemental who are powering the ship. There is a small crew who helps run the ship, man the weapons, and some who serve provisions. Sypha mentions that there was a giant attack in Daggerford. Dreadstone Cleft is SE of where we are currently. Sypha and her team need to return to Silverymoon to claim their reward.
While Pearl is sleeping, she is plagued by a Long Rest Trauma. While trying to sleep, she sees an-attractive pink color and a set of eyes looking at her. The eyes are very feminine with winged eyeliner and inverted deer antlers. In her mind she hears, “well well, this is so much more interesting. The last time we spoke, I didn’t sense anything divine in you. Now you carry the divine sense of Ravens. I could have offered you my favor.” A cackling ensues as Pearl wakes up in a cold sweat.
We share our adventures with Sypha and the facts we have. In the morning, as we approach the forests, we see a green dragonfly up on the right side of the ship. We fight off the dragon by throwing spells and fireballs at it as it hovers off the side of the ship. Ari throws one last fireball as it dies and slowly falls to the ground. Some members of the party notice briefly that, as the green dragon falls from the sky, there is a little shimmer or spark left in reality where it once flew. It reminds us of when the white dragon Wyrmling was present.
Note: Sypha wants to talk to Pearl about Eldritch blasts and Ari about her use of fire.
