Tyranny Of Tavsfools

Dev, in that moment, seeing Cyanwrath closer, recognizes him as a general that once fought alongside his father back at the Red Mountain along the Spine of the World, a mountain range far North towards Icewind Dale. Cyanwrath not only challenges Dev to a duel, in return for the freedom of some captives that do not fit on their caravan of stolen goods, but he also offers Dev a weapon from their home. A massive axe engraved with the title of Dev’s father, Dreadmonger. The party helplessly watches, knowing that between the dragon and the remainder of the army, they can only ready actions as they watch their dragonborn fighter take on the duel. Party space out to cover the duel in case something happens. Nayeli attempts to join, and after facing off against the Bard, Mint loses her patience and casts Suggestion on the child, forcing her to hide away from the action. Meanwhile, Dev takes the cursed axe and falls into the familiar rage inherited from his father. Cyanwrath and Dev exchange blows and words in draconic. With one last hit, Dev falls, but not before Cyanwrath succumbs to his wounds as well. The last captive is free, and the dragon, in a fit of rage, as he takes off, unleashes a breath of pure lightning down on the area.

Mint dives on top of Dotty to shield her from the top. Alvarin stands guard while Uná struggles to move an unconscious Dev out of the way. Seeming like she won’t have the time, Symon charges forward and takes the brunt of the attack and survives. After the dragon attack, no more kobolds or cultists remain; Cyanwrath’s body is vaporized. For the moment, the group is safe. Nighthill thanks the group for their bravery, and for the next few days, the group stays in Greenest, helping the people rebuild while they recollect themselves and form a new plan of action. Uná quickly finds some heated animosity with the Corymrian knight Symon, as some on unprovoked rudeness sours their interaction after the battle.
