The party returns to the large cavern where the zombie wyvern attacked the heroes. Just beyond this room they see an even bigger cavern. At the far end of the cavern is a huge throne. The floor surrounding the throne is littered with bodies, weapons and glittering coins. The party starts to investigate when suddenly they hear the flap of wings. Looking up they see a large Dracolich swooping down at them from the ceiling.

Tony reacts quickly and critically hits the Dracolich. The arrow plunges deep into the beast and she screams as she breathes on the party. Everyone but Auidar is stunned and he calls lightning. Orsik feels the stun effect wear off and charges the beast fearlessly. She is ready and sidesteps his swing, but he evades her bite too.

Donaar steps up and tries to attack. Unfortunately the Dracolich hits him as he swings and stuns him again. Render hits and quickly follows up with another attack that misses. Orsik shifts to flank with Render and both swing their weapons. Only Render connects.

Auidar casts chill wind but misses as Tony again sinks two arrows into the Dracolich. She strikes Donaar who hits her as Render keeps slashing the beast with her axe. Auidar then makes a quick dash for the throne. Standing on it he begins to taunt the Dracolich. She ignores him and continues to attack Donaar. Auidar then pulls out the crown they found in the coffin and taunts the Dracolich again.

Distracting her for a second allows Orsik to smack her with his warhammer. She shrugs off the attack and lunges at Donaar again. Her jaws catch him and open a large gash on his side. Tony retaliates with another arrow that hits the Dracolich hard. She howls and breathes on everyone she can.

Render resists being stunned and but his swing is wide. Donaar goes to strike and again she reacts by stunning him. She takes flight and tries to position herself better to attack. Orsik and Render swipe at her as she takes off. She lands beside Donaar and attacks.

Orsik inspires the group to press on and they do. Auidar takes his rat form and charges the beast pouncing on her.  The heroes surround her and attack. Tony snipes at her from across the room and finally she falls.

The party finds the remaining treasure hoard of Skela and realize Wyvern Mountain has been tamed.

DM Notes:
This combat went well. I think it may have been annoying for the fighter as he was constantly getting stunned by the Dracolich’s immediate interrupt. But the PCs had fun and I did too. All in all Wyvern Mountain was a fun dungeon crawl that all enjoyed.

On a side note I wanted to thank our friend Dave who ran Tony. Dave had not played DnD since 2e and chose to try 4e out. He did a great job and we had a lot of fun. Unfortunately he is moving to California. We wish him luck and hope he knows he will be missed.
