The Twenty-Ninth Session

As the battle at the base of Myth Drannor raged on, Aoth and Yief both were challenged by Ebony Commanders, and began intense one-on-one clashes. Shag and Halrek blinked out the window of the war room of the keep after killing Zekiev Ibixus, and used Feather Fall to freely drop to the base of the keep. They then made their way out to the battlefield, where after they were healed by a cleric in Daruvar's Mage company, they used Thaumaturgy to announce to the resistance that the Ebony general had fallen. Halrek of all people was the one to make the announcement, which riled the freedom fighters up. With the boost in morale, the resistance began to overtake the Ebony forces. Yief killed his adversary in a series of skilled hammer moves, ending with a blow downward to the commander's chest that left a crater.

Yief then rejoined his company and took full command of the resistance forces, guiding them strategically through the remaining Ebony Legion. Aoth continued a hard fought battle, where the commander he was up against couldn't break through the holy barrier he had. He eventually won, incapacitating and capturing his opponent, standing to see the resistance destroy the last of the Legion forces.

Cheers of victory were had, as the resistance made their way into Myth Drannor. After clearing out a number of the bodies, Aoth commanded the zombies to rest, freeing their spirits. They then made their way into the keep, and found the vault at the suggestion of Amante. After deciphering the puzzle on the great dwarven made doors, they disabled the trap inside, and took their pick of the various weapons and items within. They then threw the captive Ebony commander in the brig, and went to begin healing and wounded soldiers.

The next morning, they began enchanting parts of their gear, taking a break when Cormir and Melarra arrived. They were congratulated on their victory, and Cormir went outside to address the forces. After an inspiring speech, Halrek joined him on the platform, and held up the head of Zekiev on a pike, further inspiring the soldiers. They then went inside and began preparing a feast of celebration. The day eventually evolved into a party in the keep's Great Hall, where Shag joined a house band and began performing, Halrek began reorganizing his inventory, Yief grabbed a keg and a mug and went to the library (where he found a pair of glasses, put them on, realized he couldn't see with them on, and poked out the lenses so he could still wear them while reading), and Aoth played therapist to the soldiers to make sure they were all fit to continue the fight. Lorilla began dancing in front of Shag, essentially twerking at him.

Aoth then felt the egg he had found at the Howling Banshees' hideout start to heat up and shake, and it hatched into a baby cobalt pseudodragon. After some divine intervention from Alehel to learn what kind of creature it was, he ran to the library, where Yief saw him with a small dragon in his hand, pushed down his "glasses," and merely responded "Dragon books are in the back." Aoth began to read about pseudodragons, while it relaxed happily in his hand, and Yief determined it was a boy. Yief was then dubbed the Head Librarian of Myth Drannor, as the previous one had been killed when the Ebonyborn took over.
