Session 29 Drache began to fall through a dark void, falling past manifestations of all his memories. Eventually, he landed on the hard, rocky ground. The landing was painless, but the air was hot and humid. Before he could explore his new surroundings, a huge plumb of magma erupted from the ground, rocketing high into the sky. Using the magma as a gate, the figures exited with a malicious stare in their eyes. He didn't recognise them at first until slowly he saw the faces he had faced in battles. The people he had killed in war he did not the cause of. Soon, more recent victims emerged as they stood frozen with fear. Soon, his worst fears were realised as Damascus Klyn † emerged from the magma, a great axe drawn and poised for revenge. Suddenly, Korrigan appeared at his side "It seems that no one is free of their past, are they?". Drache didn't, couldn't, respond. Korrigan gently led him through a portal into a part of the forest that was more ethereal than the rest.
Session 23 Soon the rest of The Party catches up and asks what's going on. Drache introduces the man as Olgrik †, his best friend in the fort before he left. They also explain that they call Drache Stumpy because he is one of the smallest in the fort. Everyone found this incredibly hard to believe with how their friend is - easily towering over most of the people they've met on their journey so far. Olgrik † then notices Drache's missing leg and states it will be quite a shock to Emmeline but he's sure that won't matter in the end. Mordecai asks what types of people typically work at the fort so he could start working on a disguise. Olgrik † explains that there are a lot of half-orcs and many of the other races. "They ain't too picky as long as you can fight and will obey the boss" explains Olgrik †. Drache admits they don't treat people well at Tulan, unlike in The Emerald Fort. Mordecai explains that he has some spells that he can use to disguise himself, the half-orc laughs stating he'll need to put on a lot of muscle to fit in around the fort.
Session 23 Just as they're about to head in that direction, Korrigan notices a door starting to creak open and ushers everyone into a bush to hide. Out the door Damascus Klyn † and a strong-looking dwarf appear talking about how they "Might as well kill that Emerald Fort bitch, She won't give us anything" as they head into the throne room. Drache could not help but feel proud at how resilient his love had been. With Emmeline's life on the line, they decide to split up. Korrigan will go grab the key while the rest will try to save Emmeline if she is in danger. Mordecai gives everyone Bardic Inspiration, while Drache gives Korrigan directions to the fort before they split up for their missions.
Session 23 Chenris states that time is of the essence and they should get back to the torture chambers as soon as possible, with none in disagreement they rush to the door. They quietly opened it to find no sign of Damascus Klyn †, but the Dwarf stood over the maps, lost in thought. He was so deep in thought that he didn't even notice Mordecai sneaking past him to the torture chambers. Drache whispers that if he hears anything, Chenris will not be able to stop him from running into the room to defend his lover. Chenris says that if he does then he will do his best to hold the rear and stop the dwarf from joining the fight, however, for now, they have to be quiet so no guards get suspicious and investigate.
Session 23 Now deep in his rage, Drache charged into the fray. Calmly Klyn approaches the fight and swings his Great axe, leaving a deep gash in the Dragonborn's chest. As if he never felt pain, Drache did not cease his charge has managed to swing 3 times in under 6 seconds, gouging out chunks of flesh. After some exchanges of blows Drache remarks, "I don't remember you being this weak". However, their gap in skills seemed to become apparent as Drache was now ragged and out of breath while Damascus Klyn † was only just getting started and soon Drache fell to his knees.
Session 23 Upon seeing their companion close to death, Chenris and Korrigan - two known for their disregard for social norms - [[Misty Step|[Misty Step]] into the makeshift arena. Chenris casts Command on both of them to tell them to leave. It works on the dwarf but is countered by Damascus, who sends the command right back, but the elf is unable to leave due to the wall. "You should know boy that those spells don't work on the likes of me" snarled Damascus Klyn † before turning his attention back to Drache.
Session 23 "I'm sorry Emmeline, you know my love for you is never-ending, Mordecai, he does not deserve this. You don't either. We will find each other again in this life, or the next" Drache says as his mind races to come up with a solution that does not exist. Once again Korrigan heals the man, saying, "Stand up my friend, don't take defeat so easily". Drache rises again, mustering his courage to swing his sword one last time. Just as he is about to swing the blade, Drache's vision is covered in blood and brain matter, as the dwarf fires a crossbow point-blank to the back of Damascus Klyn †' head, killing the man instantly. "I've had quite enough of all you bullshit Klyn. Now you all should leave while you have the chance" growled the dwarf.
