Episode 77

General Summary

• Kenshin accepts the challenge of single combat against Protalacus, The Deep Dwelling
• The dragon is impressed by Kenshin's skill, and after a few rounds of sparring, she invites the rest of the party to join
• Protalacus assumes her true form, a shimmering blue dragon with gem-like scales, and unleashes a sonic breath weapon upon the group
• A tough fight ensues, with half of the party falling unconscious at various times
• As resources and resolve get low, Godric uses his last resort - transforming into a fiend once more
• This development draws the dragon's attention, who from then on seems to direct all her attacks towards Godric only
• The party continue to do battle with the dragon, eventually slaying her
• Knowing what comes next, Veda polymorphs Godric into a cat, who struggles for a minute or so before becoming a regular - though scared - kitty
• Kenshin picks up the dropped sheave, as Godric writes an apology letter for the dragon
• The group decide to revive the dragon but are disappointed that it doesn't reveal the secrets of Calis. The dragon seems to be quite angered by the appearance of a fiend in the trial, and does not trust that the secrets will be safe
• The dragon teleports away, leaving an upset Kenshin with the sword and sheathe, but not its secrets
• The group leave the dungeon, returning to the shores of Kureta Lake where they discuss what happened and their next course of action
• Kenshin agrees to stay with the party to fulfil their mission, and is given The Truth potion to bring him fully up to speed
• The party take a well-needed rest under the stars, where some of the group notice the waters of the lake slowly changing from their magical turquoise to a mundane... regular water colour
• During the night, Veda spots something not too far off in the bushes. A strange goblinoid creature, with shining blue eyes and carrying a sack notices the group and runs away. After running a short distance, the creature opens a portal, hops inside, and disappears.
• The following morning, the party pack up and continue east towards Nakaba, stopping at Aztaun along the way
