[7thseafreiburg] 13th Session: Of deadly drachen and devious devices

[andrew ward]

Sad to hear but when fighting a Dragon these things happen.

I apologist for my absences, i was hit by a car 2 weeks ago and am dealing with a nasal and sinus infection that have caused blinding migranes for the last two weeks as well. I should be good enough to attend next week.

> Aldrich in twain. So expended the life-force of the popular and charming
> Aldrich von Bertholt, whose local reputation will bring sadness, and
> perhaps even a significant loss of income to some local women of
> negotiatable affection.

> The situation appeared most dire, but in a flash of inspiration, Lady
> Drachenheim did taunt the drachen to chase her. Intervening at the
> entrance of the chamber, Offizer Maxmillian displayed great loyalty
> preventing the beast from giving chase. No less than five times it did
> strike him, and though he reeled greatly from the wounds, he did not fall.
> Eventually however it pushed past him and gave chase against Lady
> Drachenheim, even passing Dr. Serijo on the way.
> 
> This would prove to be its downfall, as the beast did not know of the many
> traps that the party had carefully bypassed. It was struck by the mighty
> pendulum blade, it suffered poisoned darts on the ancestor's tiles, it
> became confused at the heart chamber (although it almost caught the lady,
> if it were not for Lord Bryon's timely intervention), and at the sleeping
> guard, it fell into the pit and impaled itself on the spikes below. There
> it was slain. One can only wonder what chaos it could have caused if it
> had escaped into the streets of Freiburg.
> 
> It is indeed a bittersweet victory. Whilst the party has accumulated
> sufficient wealth from the Drachenheim treasures to pay for a new home
> (six times over if need be), they have the sadness of having to explain to
> Aldrich von Bertholt's family was has happened. They have discovered the
> most extraordinary collection of dracheneisen ever known, something that
> could make them all princes by right, if only there was a united Eisen and
> an Imperator to legitimise their claim. They have seen and defeated a
> drachen, albeit a small one, the first seen in over two hundred years, but
> who can they possibly tell? Indeed, after such an experience many members
> of the party are thinking it is time to make a will in case another
> misfortune like this befalls them.
