Heroes of Enroth - Session #16
The dragon rumbled softly to itself as it mulled over recent events. It gazed at it's right hand and studied the blood-red stained middle talon from whence it's name came. Ashkore, the "Red Talon". He regretted the death of his human servant Poul Ander's-son, whom he had helped bring the vale to it's height of prosperity and safety using his name as "Lord Ashkore of Ashkora".
But as with all things, death, decay and the slow march of entropy takes all in the end. Time, the eternal enemy of the world, time had caught up with the adamantine dragon and his enemies had once again returned with renewed purpose. Qumandas had reclaimed his control of the dragonborn of Hest and begun his campaign. Virriakai was somewhere doing something but had not shown her hand yet. And Ashkore had assembled his heroes to stop them...
Brazash, the only dragonborn to avoid the mind control of Qumandas with the help of Elindril and a short stay in the Feywild. A leader and tactician who could see the threat, see the solution, and see the preservation of lives not meant to be lost.
Thorlief, bastard son of the lord of Estwaan, brazen and prideful, yet mindful of his duty and brave in the face of deadly odds.
Oris, avenging priest of the Raven Queen, who could see to the deeds the others can not or will not.
Julian, small of stature, large of scope. He sees a grander vista and brings sense where others rush in.
Steven, mad sorcerer and ever hungry for power. Though he seems reckless his methods are effective.
Then there is Bunny, stone strong yet weather wary. Ashkore could sense his troubled mind, and though it meant losing a staunch protector, it was for the best to see him leave the group...
To them Ashkore has given the rings, made of the souls and strengths of ancient heroes tricked by evil magics. And now they must make haste, for war has come, and Time marches on...
Bunny's Epilogue
They think me simple. I think them stupid.
I went with them when they said we would have fun and kill things that needed killing. I never cared that doing so helped people, I cared that I chose to do it. They think I have abandoned them, so be it. I will return home and protect what is mine. They should do like wise.
They think it bad that the dragonborn have been taken control of by a dragon. I say it is worse that they do what a dragon asks. Being forced to fight against your will is not evil. What is? Being forced to fight and being led to believe it is your own choice.
They have been duped and tricked. I along with them. But no more. Let the dragons fight each other, I will have no more part in it.
