Undeterred by the guard drake's assault, Kar presses his attack against the half-elf. Again, he angles with the flat of the blade, hoping to disable rather than kill.
Attack: 13 Damage: 15
Attack: 22 Damage: 14
His own guard drake, of the ferrous variety, will circle around the hobgoblin and snap at the organic guard drake.
Attack: 20 Damage: 11
((Again, the steel defender's reaction will be used against the first attack from either adjacent enemy against Kar'a'nach. He should be next to both of them at this point.))

The anger in the half-elf's eyes vanish as an instant as the silver greatsword slams him on the side of the head, rendering him unconscious. As he falls, Darastrix leaps over his unconscious body, taking a chunk out of the green drake's flesh with its steel teeth.

Cadogan's spiritual weapon bounces harmlessly off the hobgoblin's armor. The skin around its eyes begins to crack as the bell rings out, but it squeezes them shut and shakes its head as the spell fails to take hold.

There is a pained cry as the fire bolt splashes across the hobgoblin's back, melting through the armor to its flesh. The creature falls over on its front side, smoke rising from the smoldering hole in its back.

Kar grins in satisfaction, ignoring the pain in his leg and the blood pooling in his boot. He whips around, bringing his greatsword down in two fell strokes.
Attack: 10 Damage: 9 magical slashing damage.
Attack: 23 Damage: 11 magical slashing damage.
He was going to need backup. He psionically commands Darastrix to join him in the attack (usual use of Reaction, to impose disadvantage on the first attack against Kar. . . or the second attack against anyone else.)

You see the silvery glowing thrusting blade pierce the creature's scales - at the same time, cracks begin to form in a spiderweb pattern centered on the drake's earholes, spreading across its entire body. Blood begins to ooze from the cracks as it spasms before falling to the ground, dead.
Silence falls over the streets, though in the distance you can still heard the sounds of chaos, and the occasional roar of the dragon as it continues to rip apart the castle. People begin to poke their heads out of the buildings or alleys they ran into. You see the Black Fist leaving the inn, hand on the hilt of her sword as she observes the carnage. Her eyes move towards the destruction of the castle. "This is awf-" You can hear her voice cracking, but she shakes her head, steeling herself.
She nods towards the wagon, which still houses captives. "We should get them out. And then...I don't know...The Lord Regent was at the castle tonight."

Kar slings his greatsword back into its half-sheath as he surveys the field, then searches the half-elf for a key to the cage.
"Then I say we drag this cultist to a safe location, recuperate, and see what we can learn. I do not have high hopes for the Lord Regent. Or for this town."

Picking his rapier from the street and sheathing it, Cadogan walks over to the unconscious half-elf to join Kar'a'nach. "Agreed on that. Ruffians such as this are one thing. That dragon is something else entirely. I do not wish for the Raven Queen to be pouring over the memories of my soul tonight."
"We should not act rashly." He says, glancing pointedly at Tharnik.
"Fist," addressing the woman. "What is your name? You never told us."
Kar is able to easily find an iron-key on the half-elf. If inserted into the lack on the caged wagon, it opens the door. In addition, he also finds 200gp worth of gems and jewelry in a small pouch on the man's belted.
"Aleyd Burral." She says simply, moving to stand over the unconscious half-elf.
Looking up at the gith, she jerks a thumb back towards the tavern. "While you were dealing with this I had them board up all the windows and other entrances. We can lay up any wounded in there and use it as a haven for now. Best we've got anyhow."
"As good as any," he grunts. He unlocks the cage, leaving the captives to sort themselves out. For his part, he drags the unconscious cultist into the tavern and into one of the private rooms. There, he uses his chain to bind the cultist to the back of the door. He pauses, there, waiting to see if the others will take part.

Cadogan will help the caged captives make their way to the tavern, offering medical assistance if any are gravely injured. My ah...Companions and I...Will be doing everything we can to sort this. If any of you saw or heard anything that might be helpful to us, we need to know."
The fire bolt flies wide, just barely missing the half-elf before flying over the steel defender and crashing into the building behind.
