Chapter 50

Ghol

Kiril lies dead on the ground, the other wolves have fled, Rahadin appears

Rahadin casts the arm holding thing on the dragon, enabling the fire wounded ghol to attack and draw health back

He goes to monologue to the party, but they fire crossbow bolts and cast fear spells, Rahadin is gripped by the fear and flees

Ezmerelda unveils and fires to bring down the horse, it doesn't work and he escpaes.

Ghol takes to the air and keeps it's distance, the dragon swoops at Eliza hanging out the window and slash's her with claws

Fabian throws kazan's spear and casts a spell to get the dragons attention, it pulls it from defending the tower (and hurting Eliza) and draws it's eye to her.

Eliza runs out of the tower, just as Pidlwick rides the elevator up to the top floor, and makes it outside, second winding and reloading her weapons

Before the dragon can attack Fabian, Pidlwick charges out the window knives in hand and tries to ice pick stab the dragon, misses and falls.

Fabian dives to catch him, but now prone back turned to the dragon, it slashes her twice and bites her, she goes unconscious

Ezmerelda fires at the dragon to pull it's gaze, while Elsie casts a healing word to get Fabian up (Pidlwick tries but can't succeed)

Elsie tries to dispell the dragon and it doesn't work but almost does, while Erros commands Ghol not to return to the ground (maybe that happened earlier)

Ghol eventually shrieks, causing Erros to loose concentration gripped in fear, then Ghol swoops down and strikes.

Pieron fires a fireball at ghol, bringing him down, then another at him and the dragon as they swoop close together. Elsie charges up to stand by Erros, Eliza fires at Ghol, Ezmerelda as well.

Ghol is looking hurt, Fabian without taking the time to heal, charges with a radiant sword and brings Ghol down, stopping the healing for Erros to finish him off

The dragon gets one last cold blast that hits most of the group before Ezmerelda stabs it in the back, and it disappears.

Eliza approaches the body of Ghol, hears it's faint heart beat already regenerating, and fires twice into it's brain through it's eye, the beast is dead

Others crowd around, she is stone faced, says she's been hunting the beast so long and now it's time to grieve
