S6 E5: A Great Loss

CW: This episode deals with character death. While we discuss these things above table and feel safe exploring them, we realize this might be difficult for some audience members. Please skip 47:15 to 49:42 if this would be triggering for you. As always, your safety and enjoyment is important to us.

With the doors locked and nowhere to escape, the party hears a crackle of lightning and suddenly The Dragon stands before them in the dining hall. Implying he doesn’t consider them a threat, he asks the group if they’re willing to surrender and make things easy on everyone. The party, of course, turns down the opportunity so The Dragon summons four terrifying looking minions before teleporting out of the room.

Eight attempts to summon a giant Eight Junior, but their magic seems ineffective and the summon fails. One of the creatures shifts into a mirror image of Eight, complete with a spoon. Unfortunately, a single attack downs Eight and knocks them unconscious. Another creature shifts into the form of a shaggy, black-furred wolf and then lunges, attacking Faerlin. Seeing that one of them landed in the soup trap, Trix takes a shot and strikes true.

The other two shift into mirror images of Faerlin and Trix, complete with matching weapons, and they make their attacks on the rest of the party. Trix takes an arrow to the shoulder, Faerlin and Rou fighting as hard as they can but taking more than they’re giving out. It isn’t long before Faerlin falls unconscious as well, but it is Rou that suffers the greatest defeat.
