	So I wanted to throw lots of dragons at you. The CR for tiny black dragons is CR 3. I planned to throw a lot at you. However, the icon makes it look more like a medium-sized creature. I think people blew a lot of resources on the first battle defending against dragons where the harpies were the real threat.		So I wanted to throw lots of dragons at you. The CR for tiny black dragons is CR 3. I planned to throw a lot at you. However, the icon makes it look more like a medium-sized creature. I think people blew a lot of resources on the first battle defending against dragons where the harpies were the real threat.

			===Another Skill Challenge Room buffs the Black Dragon===
			I used the Swim check to present shortcuts and give an advantageous position for the final battle. Each round it took you to get to the room was another round the big guy got to power up. It took 3 rounds, but I managed to roll "no changes" twice (12% chance). Finally rolled to grow another bite attack.

			===Solo Boss Encounters are hard===
			D&D usually doesn't work well with solo boss encounters. Either it squishes everyone immediately, or it fails a save and is a pinata of Hit Points you beat the stuffing out of. I gave this monster a free ranged attack every round to harass Fi and Claire with, and Vegeta kept its crazy melee options in check. Melee attackers were supposed to be threatened with Acid Damage every time they hit, but Vegeta never hit and Kandar made his Reflex saves.

	===Overpowered NPC?===		===Overpowered NPC?===
	Kandar had a battleaxe of Dragon Slaying and he had 4 levels of Rogue, so he had tons of sneak attack damage, as well. I think he did almost 70% of damage to the final black dragon. Oops. Hopefully I made up for it with Kandar's Axe fetish.		Kandar had a battleaxe of Dragon Slaying and he had 4 levels of Rogue, so he had tons of sneak attack damage, as well.

			===Mr. Secret Weapon!===
			You guys skipped Shengren's relation to Harvest Wharf, but I'm not going to mention it here. Shengren is trying to be more hip, but eh. The Shengren/Pankraz combo is awesome, by the way.

			Eldrick's a bit tactless, but it gave Shengren a cool nickname.

Claire quickly charms Kandar into giving himself up, and he's quite thankful. He points out a hidden exit, and Vegeta notices a hidden stash under the throne.

			Captain Pankraz's ship catches up, and Pankraz thanks them personally for getting Eldrick back in one piece. The rest of the day is spent partying and celebrating, although a monk visits the party to learn more about the powered up dragon they fought. They are unsurprised by Shengren's disguise, and also wonder if the Dragonlord is linked to Frieza on the Great Plains. The monk isn't sure, but he does give Vegeta some help: his own dragon scale. He tells Vegeta to find a Copper Dragon who may aid him if her jokes don't kill him.

			The monk mentions that outsiders have always existed in the Material Plane, even after interplanar travel was cut off. He does wonder why they became more active as of late, and does note the dragons have not been on top of this.

			===May 18, 1236 AD===
			After a day of partying, the Dragon Warriors board the ships and prepare to depart to the Draugh Kingdom.
