TG409

And All My Plans, Torn Asunder

Episode Number: (TG409)
Original Airdate: 3/2002

The party, having discovered the location of the lair of Tar'haer'raloth (the green dragon encountered in Season Two), plans a retributive strike. After a minor tussle with a few umber hulks and a behir, the party assaults the entrance to the green dragon's lair... with suboptimal results.

Plot Points

• There are trolls in the area around Tar'haer'raloth's lair, most likely in league with the dragon.
• There is also a ranger/druid circle nearby. They have some sort of peace treaty with the dragon.

Unanswered Questions

• What are the implications of Emcee's comments about Alyon having more horses and wagons than would be expected?
• Is the local Temple of the Bright Blade equipped to store and guard the body of the insectile monster?
• Will Aldea wake up, wonder what the hell's going on and who took her stuff, and chase after the party?
• What, exactly, was the party smoking when they thought that they could ambush a dragon?

Analysis

• Emcee and Arly, when flanking, are a dangerous combination.
• The party, though better equipped and prepared to fight Tar'haer'raloth, is still in for quite a ride.
• Dragons are still badass mo'fo's.

Gryffid Speaks

So let me try to answer the unanswered questions here.

1. I heard of some human queen, princess, duchess, or something who liked horses. A little too much. Her name was Catherine. I believe that Tierney knows the story. Or at least he can tell it better than I can.
2. If they can't handle it, nobody can.
3. If she has something meaningful to contribute, hell yes!
4. I'm not sure, but I'll bet Aldamar can identify it on sight when we encounter it.

In any case, I think we still have things under control with this dragon. Things could be going way worse. (For instance, Sendant could have simply not healed me after the dragon-bile incident...) I'll let you know when I think it's time to panic.

Timus Speaks

"Oh hey," Tim pulls a worn but whole piece of paper from his pack the next day. "I had a chance to Mend this last night, what do you think this means?" He shows (everyone) the paper, on which is written in scratchy but legible common:

"The Gray Army rises, and the sun is shadowless and far from the mountain.
A flail of gray strikes a weeping rod and drives it into the light."
