Fighting Klauth
Paultin has the ring of winter. It's evil, and it has taken control of him. A huge red dragon named Klauth collapsed a wall on the heroes. Strix is in gaseous form and Evelyn is flying in front of the dragon.

Klauth clears the rubble off of Paultin and is demanding that he hand over the ring of winter.

Strix tries to talk Klauth out of all this, but the attempt does not bear fruit. Paultin puts the ring on his little undead, animated severed hand and throws it through a dimension door. The hand is somewhere within the range of the spell, which is 500 feet.

The Acquisitions, Inc. airship is hovering nearby, crewed by some NPC flunkies. Bag of Nails is on board as well. The harpoon gun is loaded.

Bag of Nails fires the harpoon. and rolls a critical hit. The harpoon does 12d10 damage, so Bag does 75 points of damage. Klauth is injured, but not bloodied.

Bag of Nails wants the crew to fly the ship right into the dragon.

Klauth is scouring the area, looking for the hand. Then he looks up at the airship. He has a bunch of wands on his wing. He activates them, and hits the ship with a fireball and a lightning bolt. The crew dies, but Bag of Nails survives. He has 4 hit points left.

Return of the Yuan Ti
Dozens of serpents hit the scene. They are yuan-ti in disguise.

Diath hits the snakes with his horn of blasting. Three yuan-ti assume their humanoid forms. One has black scales and is wearing a golden collar, some kind of religious piece of jewelry.

The airship is crashing straight down at Paultin. Bag runs to the wheel. The NPC that was driving it is dead and crispy. Bag is able to pull up and turns the ship in the direction of Klauth.

Klauth finds the ring of winter. He grabs it and the severed hand.

More creatures arrive. Three frost giants, also seeking the ring of winter.

Buried under the collapsed wall, Dragonbait actually kept the rubble from squashing Waffles until the group could free them.

Klauth is surprised at the frost giants arrival. The hand skitters free.

Paultin puts up the waffle hut. Diath wants in.

Bag of Nails jumps on Klauth's back.

The giants attack Klauth. The dragon is bloodied, and it flies 80 feet up.

The group runs. They want to actually flee into the tomb to escape the chaos.

Diath uses his horn of blasting again, blowing a hole in the wall of a building. The heroes flee right through.

Paultin has a crown of madness on a black-scaled yuan-ti, which forces it to attack its allies and then the dragon.

Bag of Nails ends up back on the airship and draws an arrow of dragon slaying. He does 47 points of damage to Klauth, who lets out a horrible wail and flies away.

The frost giant leader has the hand with the ring on it.

Bag of Nails pilots the airship and chases the dragon. Strix casts a fifth level fireball spell and kills two of the three frost giants. The female leader is hurt but still alive. End of session.
