As the lightning ravages the battlements from the dragons attack, Night Wine Snaps a shot off with great precision. The attack slams into the dragons side and pieces through the scales. The dragon roars and veers off to the right, causing the firebolt from Erevan to miss. The dragon curses out in draconic before flying off to the south east. Anyone that understands Draconic will understand that he told someone called Rezmir and Frulam Mondath that this was not his fight and that he was heading to the hoard at the camp for his share.
The party moves out onto the battlement to realize that their small friend, the hero of the sally port, has been killed.
(Note: No gems for this fight as the party did not actually kill the dragon. )
Erevan rushes over to the pile of ashes that remains of Smitty. He grinds his teeth, and utters an Elven prayer. He looks around to see if anyone else has been killed, or is in need of assistance.
As Rha'el, Night Wine and Erevan are standing there looking down at the smoking remains of Smitty below them on the ground, they realize they are above the main gate. the Governor and Escobert make their way up to them.
Governor Night hill claps them each on the back "Well done adventures. I am sorry your friend did not make it. Once the fighting is over we will make sure to retrieve the body and give him a proper burial of a hero with full honors." He clears his throat. "So the captive you brought back provided us with some information. The dragon you just chased off was named Lennithon. He was sent here by Frulam Mondath. The cult has been raiding communities around Greenfields for loot in order to create a great hoard for the Queen of Dragons. They also let us know of a set of dragon eggs at their camp to the Southeast of here. They had also gave us information of a plot to burn the Mill, but we took care of that while you guys was facing the dragon and at the Sally Port."
While the Governor is explaining this from the darkness, a creature strides into the dim light of the dying fires around the keep. Although it is shaped roughly like a human, it is at least seven feet tall, its skin is covered in blue scales, its fingers bear wicked claws, and its face has the muzzle and reptilian eyes of a dragon. The creature stops about eighty yards from the main gate of the keep and scans the walls. A line of 16 kobolds fans out behind it. With their spears, they prod four human prisoners into the dim light. You can make out a woman, a teenage boy in a blood-soaked tunic, and two children. Then the half-dragon creature hails the keep.
“Defenders of Greenest! This has been a successful night, and I am feeling generous. Do you see these four pitiful, useless prisoners? We have no need for them, so I will trade them back to you. Send out your best warrior to fight me, and you can have these four in exchange.”
Suddenly one of the defenders on the battlements screams in anguish as he recognizes the women and children. "Sister! NO! They have my sister!" He attempts to rush towards the stairs but is restrained by several of the guards and Escobert.
Nighthill turns to the characters, “My friends, you’ve demonstrated your prowess all through this frightful night. I realize this is an awful burden to ask you to bear, but any of you has a better chance to defeat that horror than my militia have.”
(OOC: Everyone make an Arcana or Nature check to see if you recognize the creature. Also, anyone that faces the creature will not die even if they loose the fight.)
Night Wine informs the party "Well fellas, this brute is a Half-Dragon". Night Wine then takes his bow and notches it and readies to take aim at the lizard man.
Erevan nods upon hearing Night Wine call out the creature's identity. He grips his sabre firmly, addressing the Governor. "I would be delighted to contend the half-dragon." Erevan says in a confident tone. Peering over his shoulder to see if anyone else has anything to add.
(OOC: White lines are 10 foor apart. Hard to see but there are some Black lines as well that are 5 foot.)
The half-dragon sees Night Wine notching the arrow and chuckles. he motions to one of the kobolds who pulls a sword and puts it to the womans throat. "Careful adventure, Shoot at me and these people die. Meet me in one on one combat to free them."
"Coward!" Night Wine mocks. He's shaken from this challenge as he flashes back to some painful memories. He looks to the party and asks for their advice. "What should we do here? I am truly at a loss for words."
The governor looks at the party, seeing that they are trying to deliberate on who will face the monster. "Please adventures. I promise if you loose we will save you. I have several priest that can resurrect you from death. They can also heal any wound. I will pay 1000 gold to the adventurer that will stand against that fiend." He looks at each of the adventurers in turn. "I can also offer a Legendary weapon....."
Erevan seeing that nobody else is rising to the occasion, and offered his services already, approaches the Governor. "I'll take this dance, Governor Nighthill." Erevan says confidently with a smirk, while grasping firmly onto his sabre. He turns his head and glares at the half-dragon. "Brace yourself fiend, as you're about to be enthralled by my bladesong." Erevan shouts ardently at the half-dragon.
Governor Nighthill nods and smiles broadly at Erevan. "Good luck, brave elf."
Erevan turns and descends the stairs and exits the Keep. As he steps out he sees that the half-dragon has moved closer to the gates away from his party and awaits Erevan. He stands with both hands placed atop his great sword in a relaxed manner. The look on his face is pure amusement as he looks at the elf.
Half-dragon: "What do you say, boys, think it will be 3 this time?"
Kobold 5: "No, I say 4."
Kobold 7: "Are you crazy? The boss will be done in 2."
Kobold 13 steps out with a hat and begins moving among the others and they start putting coins into the hat and he write things on a slip of paper. The half-dragon chuckles again at them as he waits on Erevan. One he has made the rounds to all of the other kobolds he approaches the half dragon.
Kobold 13: "Boss, we give you a 50 to 1 odds in 7 rounds." He leans in alittle and whispers, "Make it look good for them but finish in 3 and you can win all the gold." He smiles and moves back to the line and joins the others.
The dragon looks at Erevan as he pulls out a coin. "Tell you what, little thing, we will flip to see who goes first. Heads I go first, tails you go first." He lowers his voice so it does not carry, "Make sure to last as long as you can." He raises his voice again so that all can hear. "Here are the rules of this match. Any thing is permitted, use whatever weapon, magic, item that you have. I will refrain from using my Breath attack. We will continue until one of us is dead or unconscious." He flips the coin high in the air and allows it to land in between them.
Erevan: 16 Langdedrosa Cyanwrath: 16
The dragon laughs as the coin lands on heads. He reaches down and scoops the coin up and slips it in his pouch. "Tough luck, small one. May I know your name before we get started?"
Erevan chuckles briefly upon seeing the kobolds wager on the duel. As he waits, he jovially tosses his sabre from one hand to the other. He clutches the sabre back into his dominant hand once the wager has been set, and the half-dragon confronts him. Erevan glances at the four prisoners to ensure they aren't being harmed during the process. He darts his eyes back to the half-dragon.
"My name is Erevan Moonwhisper, the Silver Sabre of the Bladesingers. And you are?" Erevan asks curiously, while still firmly grasping his sabre.
Night Wine follows Erevan out and as he does so he whispers "I'll hide behind the bushes and provide you with support if you get hurt. I don't trust your opponent." As soon as the doors open Night Wine attempts to hide behind the bushes in front of the keep.
Stealth: 17
If Night Wine gets caught by the half-dragon he explains he was wanting to get a closer eye on the fight.
The half dragon chuckles, "I am Langdedrosa Cyanwrath, proud half dragon." He turns to the kobolds, "Listen up you lot, If the guards on the wall move or attempt to come out, kill the prisoners... slowly. Once this is over, release them and leave them be." He turns back to Erevan. "Are you ready?"
The dragon pauses seeing the cat and growls. "What is this? 2 on one?" He raises a hand and the kobolds tense with a sword at the throat of each prisoner, waiting for the signal to draw the blades across the throats of the women and children.
The dragon continues to fly about waiting on the recharge of his breath weapon. (recharge? : 5 )
Feeling the power return the dragon roars and sweeps in from the south end towards the battlements and unleashes his breath at the guards.
Dex 19 save or take 51 Damage on a fail or half as much damage on a successful one.
Smitty will need to make a dex save.
The dragons attack kills 4 defenders and injures 6.

As soon as the dragon swings by in view of Night Wine, the grey feline launches a surprise arrow at the blue lizard using his ready action.
