Dragons Watch, Felucca, Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – November 20, 2010 – by Ashlynn – This saturday was a long and eventful one that began with a fine feast and ended with a ferocious battle all spent in the company of good friends.
The evening began with a meal and celebration of Thanksgiving held at the tavern in Dragon’s Watch. During the event, Lady Phoenix ran a game which involved bringing two guests to the tavern with names that combined into one belonging to someone famous in this realm or the “other”. Sadly, I was not quick enough and failed miserably at the task, but a few were successful!
Dragon's Watch has a very homely tavern!
After an hour had passed, it was time for Lady Tatania to host her own little event: A net toss on the docks of Buccaneers Den. The plan was to lure up a few serpents and even a mighty scalis for us to bring down. It sounded easy enough especially with our numbers and so, with a gentle splash the nets went into the water and we waited, arrows nocked and blades drawn.
The battle was long and arduous and it seemed our lack of tactics and forward planning had begun to show as the pile of grey robes outside the healers grew ever higher. With many of us having never faced a Scalis before, we didn’t really know what to expect, and it was only with the aid of reinforcements from the guild, CAT, that we were finally able to bring the creature down.
I was the scourge of those little eels. Sadly, of little effect against the Scalis itself.
Sadly, it seems for all our trouble, there was very little reward for any of us. Though Nightmare Krynn of CAT did reward Lady Winmere with an artifact called a Smiling Moon Blade for her exemplary efforts in keeping everyone on their feet.
In the end though, we were victorious and the evening was a very enjoyable one for all involved (or so I hope, I imagine the insurance costs for some, including myself, were pretty high!). We also offer thanks to the guild of CAT for all their help, without which we’d still be at the docks fruitlessly throwing spells at the thing!
