Chronicle of the Champion of Avariel: Session Three -A dragon, a dragon, I swear I saw a dragon!

The party decides to take a full night's sleep in the catacombs, the better to be prepared against whatever horrors await in the depths. When they wake up, each person shares their various dreams: Autumn's spirit bear spoke to her of her clan in danger, Leucis saw a city in Hell and a skeleton-man, and Ace was told he needs to see Aurora — prompting Leucis to tell the party about Aurora, Edenna's eladrin benefactor. The party debates what to do — go see Aurora? Clear out Kobold Hall? Follow up on Autumn's dream? — and decides that since they are already in Kobold Hall, it should be cleared out first and foremost.

The party follows the stairs down into the next room — a raised platform sits on the far side of the room from the door (bearing a kobold priest and guards), while another platform sits in the middle of the room. Around the central platform is a well-worn groove in the floor. As we enter, the room shudders, and a boulder rolls onto the track to hit whatever unsuspecting person should be in its way.

Combat is joined — taking care to avoid the boulder, Autumn summons her bear amidst the far kobolds while Ace launches a scorching gout of flame on them. Raiern climbs atop the central platform and sees kobold slingers inside, diving into melee combat with his falcon, while Kyrie uses her fire powers to toast the cramped kobolds inside; burned and trapped with a battle-crazed elf, the kobolds climb atop the platform and begin lobbing rocks. A small drake enters the room, and Maveith and Leucis successfully engage it. The kobold slingers are successfully killed by Kyrie's magic and Raiern's sword, though not before Raiern is once again glued to the top of the platform.

The kobold wyrmpriest invokes magical words of courage to inspire his allies, but it doesn't do much good as the party descends upon them. Not even the wyrmpriest's cold breath weapon can keep the party away, as Maveith and the bear tear through his guards while Ace, Leucis, and Kyrie provide artillery support. Despite managing to destroy Autumn's spirit bear twice, the wyrmpriest soon finds himself on the wrong end of Maveith's sword. Leucis reminds Ace not to step in front of the still-roaming boulder. The last kobold guard surrenders, but Leucis, in a battle frenzy, kills it anyway. The party receives an Amulet of Health +1, which goes to Maveith.

Following the hallway to the next room, the party is marching two-by-two down a hallway when it comes to a large, cold cave, complete with stalactites and a frozen pool of water. A large, young white dragon appears and blasts the in-formation party with his cold breath. A dragonborn warrior then attacks the party as well, apparently some sort of ally or thrall of the great beast. The party moves out of formation, some seeking cover while others moving into melee range. Maveith and Autumn engage the dragonborn warrior, with Autumn finally using the blessings of the seven winds to physically rip him apart and shift the entire party into formation to fight the dragon.

The dragon, unimpressed, breathes more cold onto the party, sending Leucis and Kyrie into sweet unconsciousness. The two weakly get up and continue to hammer the dragon with spells and swords. By this point, the party has learned to not stay in close formation so as to minimize the effect of the dragon's breath weapon; when it becomes bloodied, the party is spread out that only a few members are caught in the blast, and no one takes a direct hit. The dragon is badly beaten, and Leucis offers it a surrender, but it refuses, prompting Ace to destroy it with Sith lightning.
