Session 55: Greg The Dragon

Date: 2026-08-11

Summary

Before returning to the shadow of the Inscrutable Tower, the party gathered with the true Eldrick Runeweaver in the relative safety of Emberwood Village. The Archmage, identifiable by the staff of power topped with a glowing purple shard he carried rather than the rod his simulacrum had wielded, shared what intelligence he had gleaned from observing the crystalline dragon. The beast was resistant to a terrifying breadth of magical energies — force, necrotic, psychic, and radiant — and possessed both extended darkvision and a supernatural sense that let it perceive the world even in total darkness. Its constitution was its greatest strength, its intellect its only relative weakness, and it wielded a devastating prismatic breath weapon that could reduce even hardened adventurers to ruin. With no known vulnerabilities to exploit, the party steeled themselves and allowed Eldrick to teleport them back into the haze-shrouded plaza.

They arrived on a rooftop roughly a hundred and fifty feet from the tower itself, and the sight that greeted them was as awe-inspiring as it was terrifying. The Inscrutable Tower rose twelve hundred feet into the sky, a monolith of smooth black obsidian anchored by four massive buttresses that splayed out from its base like the legs of some colossal beast. Two-thirds of the way up, a meteor-scarred breach had torn the structure apart, leaving the pinnacle hovering impossibly above a storm of floating debris and ancient tomes, all threaded through with coiling eldritch lightning that reflected off jagged shards of Delirium pulsing with a sickening rhythmic glow. Below, the plaza cobblestones were spider-webbed with frantic arcs of amethyst lightning that pulsed like a dying heartbeat. The party had barely a moment to orient themselves before the shadow detached from the ruins above.

A crystalline terror dove from the breach at terminal speed, its translucent wings webbed with glowing veins snapping open with a crack that split the air. Kaleidoscope patterns of purple and green danced across the tower's obsidian face as the dragon descended, its talons dragging through the haze and leaving trails like comets. It pulled up into a hover before the rooftop, its gaze locking onto Eldrick, and the air hummed with the scent of ozone as static electricity charged the hair of every soul present. The dragon's voice was cold and contemptuous as it mocked the Archmage for returning in person, taunting him about the fate of the Academy strike force it had already destroyed. Eldrick attempted to negotiate telepathically, urging the creature to step away from the nexus, but the dragon dismissed the entire Amethyst Academy as a fleeting curiosity already dissolving into history.

The party scattered immediately. Tark scooped up Oiroa and dove from the rooftop, dropping to the ground to use the building's bulk as cover while Yazzy vanished from sight entirely. Ned and Xakarium conjured the power of flight and launched themselves off the roof in opposite directions, seeking altitude and angles. Syndle, never one to shy from a fight, hurled his axe at the hovering beast, but the weapon clanged harmlessly off its iridescent scales. Eldrick moved to Syndle's side and conjured a shimmering globe of invulnerability around the two of them just as the distant sound of iron-shod boots and low chanting reached their ears — the Silver Order was advancing from the east, their herald's voice cutting through the arcane chaos with proclamations of sacred judgment. The battlefield was growing more complicated by the moment.

The dragon was not content to simply hover and monologue. It used its supernatural ability to instantly reposition itself, crashing its massive feet through the stone wall of the building where Tark and Oiroa had taken cover, raining debris down on them both. Yazzy, still invisible, unleashed a roaring ball of fire that engulfed the dragon and scorched its scales — fire, at least, it could not simply shrug off. The beast retaliated by throwing its head back and issuing a thunderous roar that sent shockwaves of sonic force rolling across the plaza, leaving several of the party shaken and gripped by a primal, bone-deep fear that made it impossible to advance toward the creature. Oiroa channeled healing energy into Tark's wounds, and Tark fired a desperate shot through a crumbling doorway, but the arrow failed to find its mark. The dragon was toying with them.

Xakarium, deciding that caution had its limits, rocketed upward through the haze and unleashed the full fury of a maximized lightning bolt, channeling every ounce of his divine power to ensure the strike hit with absolute, unmitigated force. The bolt crackled across the sky and tore into the crystalline dragon, and for the first time, the beast visibly recoiled. Eldrick, inspired by his young Academy ally, followed with his own bolt of lightning, adding to the damage. The dragon responded by fixing its gaze on Xakarium and igniting a psychic conflagration in his mind — a searing mental assault that left him burning from the inside out. Yazzy donned the Mask of the Gilded Scorn and projected her voice across the entire battlefield, singing a defiant, improvised battle anthem mocking the dragon as a delirium clown, her magic bolstering her terrified allies' resolve against the creature's overwhelming presence.

Then the dragon made its most decisive move. It swooped down, jaws snapping shut around Eldrick Runeweaver, grappling the Archmage in its maw and carrying him aloft. The situation looked catastrophic — but Eldrick, even trapped between the teeth of a crystalline horror, was not finished. From within the dragon's mouth, he cast a banishment, and with a double crack of displaced reality, both the dragon and the Archmage vanished simultaneously, shunted into another dimension in a tangle of desperate magic. The plaza fell eerily quiet save for the crackling amethyst lightning. With the dragon gone, the party wasted no time.

Xakarium dove toward the base of the tower, landing before a broad staircase of seventeen steps that led up to massive dark steel doors engraved with the sigil of the Amethyst Academy — a lidless arcane eye set within an octagram. The doors bore no handles, no hinges, no visible means of entry. Xakarium pressed his Academy rings against the cold steel, and the arcane runes carved into the surface blazed to life, followed by a series of ominous clicks before the doors screeched open. Syndle, who had been rocketing upward toward the breach high above, reversed course and rejoined his companions at the ground level entrance. The party stepped inside.

What greeted them defied the tower's exterior dimensions entirely. The lobby stretched nearly fifty feet to its ceiling, supported by obsidian pillars etched with intricate sigils, its floor a sweep of reflective marble decorated with arcane patterns. Despite the tower's solid obsidian exterior having no visible windows, transparent vents along the inner walls offered a clear view of the ruined city of Drakenheim outside. Bobbling moats of spectral light drifted through the chamber, casting everything in soft arcane illumination. And seated at a glass-topped table between the pillars, calmly eating a salad, was a bare-chested man covered in tattoos.

From each of the four corner pillars, a railingless spiral staircase of metal and glass wound upward, and descending each one was a hovering automaton — Amethyst Academy Shield Guardians, though these were clearly malfunctioning, arcing with amethyst electricity and leaking oil from their joints. Yazzy approached the tattooed man diplomatically, but he merely told her to enjoy herself and returned to his meal. Tark, interpreting this as a declaration of war, hurled his axe at the man, missing and knocking over his drink instead. Oiroa used a scroll to grant Ned the power of true sight, and what Ned saw made his blood run cold — the man's true form was a gray, silvery humanoid with a flaming head, a being of terrible and alien power. The Shield Guardians began descending toward the party, and the mysterious figure rose from his table.

The lobby erupted into chaos. The party engaged the Shield Guardians with everything they had — Tark and Syndle hacking at the constructs with their weapons, Xakarium hurling fire that reduced one automaton to a heap of scrap, Yazzy teleporting behind a prone Guardian to drive her psychic blades deep into its chassis, and Oiroa's spiritual gavel ringing out with each strike. The mysterious figure, revealed to be Aduro Mato, conjured an impenetrable hemispherical dome of force around his dining area, sealing himself inside while he launched psychic assaults outward — whispering discordant, maddening voices into Yazzy's mind and attempting to compel her to flee. Yazzy attempted to turn his own mind against him with a powerful suggestion, but Aduro Mato simply responded with cryptic philosophical musings about the Academy's futile attempts to impose order on chaos, then kept eating.

As the last of the Shield Guardians crumpled into wreckage, Aduro Mato escalated his assault, summoning a writhing mass of ebony tentacles that erupted from the lobby floor and filled the chamber with grasping, lashing appendages that turned every step into a desperate struggle. The party fought through the chaos, battered and burning through their reserves, but still standing. Syndle, ever the showman, charged across the tentacle-strewn floor and launched himself into a flying kick at the nearest Guardian, sending it crashing to the ground. The Silver Order was still advancing outside, the dragon and Eldrick were somewhere beyond the veil of another dimension, and somewhere above them, the nexus of the Inscrutable Tower waited. The party had breached the tower — but the hardest battles were still ahead.

Memorable Moments

"Back so soon, Eldrick. And the real you this time. I'm flattered. Did you learn nothing when I unmade your little strike team? Why would you return if not to watch more of your precious mages dissolve into ash and screams?"
— Crystalline Dragon

The dragon hovering before the rooftop, mocking Eldrick Runeweaver as it recognized the real Archmage had come personally this time.

Eldrick Runeweaver, grappled in the dragon's jaws, casts banishment from within the creature's mouth, and dragon cast a similar spell as a reaction, causing both himself and the dragon to vanish simultaneously into another dimension.

A desperate last-ditch gambit from within the dragon's maw that removed the greatest threat from the battlefield at great personal risk.

Xakarium channels his divinity to maximize a lightning bolt, dealing full damage to the crystalline dragon and bypassing its resistances in a single devastating strike.

Deciding to blow his most powerful resources early after learning from a previous near-death experience against a powerful mage.

Tark attempts barbarian diplomacy by hurling his axe at the mysterious man calmly eating a salad in the tower lobby, missing and knocking over his drink instead.

While Yazzy was preparing to negotiate with the stranger, Tark decided the most diplomatic opening move was a thrown weapon.

Ned's true seeing spell reveals the mysterious, tattooed man eating a salad in the lobby is actually a gray, silvery humanoid with a flaming head — a being far more sinister than he appeared.

The party had been cautiously approaching what looked like an ordinary man, only for magical sight to expose a terrifying true form.

"Don't let that dragon get you down. He's just a bit of a delirium clown. Let him go, let him stay. We don't care because we're going to play. Hey, hey, he's an asshole. He's an asshole."
— Yazzy

Yazzy donning the Mask of the Gilded Scorn and improvising a battle anthem to inspire her terrified allies while the dragon loomed overhead.

Xakarium places his Academy rings against the dark steel doors of the Inscrutable Tower, causing arcane runes to glow and the sealed entrance to screech open for the first time.

After surviving the dragon's assault, the party finally reaches the tower entrance and gains access using their Academy credentials.

NPCs

Eldrick Runeweaver

A high-ranking Archmage of the Amethyst Academy who carries a staff of power topped with a purple shard. He teleports the party to the tower, provides intelligence on the dragon's resistances, conjures a globe of invulnerability to protect allies, casts lightning bolts against the dragon, and is ultimately grappled by the dragon before casting banishment to remove both himself and the beast from the battlefield.

Crystalline Dragon

A massive terror with translucent wings webbed with glowing veins and scales pulsing with toxic hues of purple and green. It is resistant to force, necrotic, psychic, and radiant damage, possesses blindsight and extended darkvision, and wields a devastating prismatic breath weapon. It mocks Eldrick and the Academy, uses Mind Fire to psychically assault the party, and grapples Eldrick before being banished.

Aduro Mato

A mysterious figure found calmly eating a salad in the tower lobby. His true form, revealed by magical sight, is a gray, silvery humanoid with a flaming head. He dismisses the party with cryptic philosophical statements, protects himself with a hemispherical dome of force, and attacks with dissonant whispers and a field of writhing ebony tentacles.

Shield Guardians

Four hovering Amethyst Academy automatons (including Unit 114) that descend from the spiral staircases in the lobby corners. They are malfunctioning, arcing with amethyst electricity and leaking oil, and refuse to stand down without a controlling amulet. They attack the party with heavy clubs.

Locations

Emberwood Village

A safe haven where the party spent several days gathering magical items and leveling up before their return to the tower.

Inscrutable Tower Plaza

A plaza dominated by a 1200-foot obsidian monolith anchored by massive buttresses.

Inscrutable Tower

A massive monolith of smooth black stone anchored by four massive buttresses.
