Mistverge Market Meltdown - September 10, 2021

 - Kyle had to call Antonia and apologize for being an asshole

- So many poison ivy tales


- RETCON - Rusty dropped off the anonymous note to the guards before they went home last night.


- The next morning Osiris attempts to wake Theophania at around 9, but that isn't successful so she comes back at 10 and so she gets dressed and they head to the boarding house

- Meanwhile at the boarding house, Rusty asks Callie if she knows who might want to buy the wine he pulled off the bottom of the river

- There are ten good bottle of well-sealed wine and six that have broken seals.

- She says he could sell the good bottles at the Rose Petal (well-to-do, but not too pretentious), the Little Big Bar (halfling run), and the Golden Eagle (snooty).

- After some discussion, they decide they will go to the snooty place, but stop at the Hall of Justice on the way to talk to Shawn Andertree in Transportation

- They borrow Callie's wheelbarrow to take the wine to the north part of town

- As they are walking near the river near the Temple, Osiris hears a screech sound that is coming from above and she looks up a sees something large and dark flying overhead 

- It's a black dragon! And it's landing next to the Temple!

- Osiris tells the party to hide

- Theophania ducks under the wheelbarrow.

- Osiris then sees someone exiting the Temple, and the dragon starts moving aggressively towards that person

- Osiris tries to use Thaumaturgy to make it sound like there's an even bigger dragon approaching

- The dragon pauses in its approach, looks around, flies up and around a bit, then lands again this time near the Docks Market

- There are screams instantly.

- Rusty tucks his wheelbarrow between the low wall around the temple and some bushes

- They all go running in that direction

- Raiàn drops the info that a nice dragons would land outside the city, and walk into the marketplace as a human since they can shapeshift

- Theophania actually stops running to contemplate one of Great-Aunt Thessalie's friends who came to visit when she was a tiny halfling

- Osiris uses Channel Divinity to give everyone Temp HP (4) as they are approaching the marketplace


DEFENDING THE MARKET

- Osiris casts Bless (2nd Level) on everyone but herself and she yells into the marketplace for the townspeople to hide as she continues running up the road

- Lyrielle runs to put herself between the townspeople and readies attacking the dragon if it attacks

- Theophania runs as close to it as she can and yells that they are willing to work with the dragon if it just won't attack anyone

- The Dragon breaths Acid breath on two townspeople killing them

- Raiàn knows that this dragon is quite young, but it should be old enough to understand language but only Draconic at this point. So speak in Draconic to it, asking it why it's here killing people. It growls at her in response, so she moves up close to it and tells it that they can't let it hurt any more people so either it calms down or they have to beat it up. She readies Magic Missile 

- The dragon turns and breaths acid at Theophania and Raiàn (the Magic Missile goes off for 12 force dmg) and they take 12 acid dmg

- Rusty goes into a rage seeing his friends get attacked and he runs up to the dragon and misses

- Townspeople start scattering

- Osiris casts Spare the Dying on the nearest townsperson who took acid damage and then casts Guiding Bolt on it for 39 radiant dmg

- Lyrielle runs up to flank the Dragon with Rusty and bonks it with her staff for 9 bludgeoning dmg and then she kicks it for 6 bludgeoning dmg and then punches it for 6 bludgeoning dmg

- Theophania casts Cure Wounds on Raiàn for 3 HP asking that she talk him down

- The Dragon moves around to the other side of Lyrielle (Rusty misses an opportunity attack) and breaths at Lyrielle and Raiàn for 10 acid dmg

- Raiàn moves around so that she won't hit Lyrielle then she breaths at the Dragon for 3 lightning dmg and then Misty steps behind one of the market stalls

- Rusty moves around to flank with Lyrielle but misses with his attack

- The townspeople run away some more

- Osiris casts Spare the Dying on the second townsperson then moves up to Lyrielle, casts Cure Wounds on her for 13 HP, then she moves off again

- Lyrielle smashes the Dragon for 11 bludgeoning dmg and then she Disengages and runs back

- Theophania runs out of hiding tries to casts Faerie Fire on the Dragon but misses then runs back into hiding

- The Dragon Disengages and flies away. They see him fly up and dive into the river and disappear swimming away


- Osiris runs over to check on the townspeople, the one who was closest to the Dragon was too burned by the acid to have been saved by her spell, but the other person is still miraculously breathing, so she grabs a cart from the nearest stand, loads the survivor into it and sprints back to the temple as quickly as possible

- Rusty grabs the dead person, heads back to where he stashed his wine, puts the body on top of the crate of wine, and then carries on to the Temple also

- Raiàn and Theophania also trudge over to the Temple to get their acid burns treated

- Theophania asks if Marta is around to ask about the dragon attack

- Osiris retrieves the casualty from Rusty and takes it to the Rites wing and reports the dragon attack to Birel

- Birel is concerned

- Marta comes over to talk to Theophania and Raiàn about the dragon attack, but she doesn't know anything about it either

- Raiàn explains that it was like a nine-year old having a temper tantrum and being too angry and upset to listen. But it's weird because this is a weird territory for this kind of dragon and that such a small dragon would attack such a large city


- 350 XP ea for 2,700 XP total ea.
