Past the ancient gate of Arwih'dur at the edge of the world, just over the cold mountains of Brightpeak and within the realm of King Mirveiss' Skyhold... a gentle flurry of snow trickled down to the ground from the not-so-far-away clouds above. Galloping across the frosted snow, a sextet of adventurers upon stout heavy warhorses gifted from the King himself... A loud roar could be heard from the skies above, herald to what was to come.<br/><br/>The plan was to lure the dragon away from the hold with something irresistible to the beast... the entirety of the King's own hoard, a two hundred pound chest filled with gold, gems, artifacts and heirlooms saddled upon a seventh horse as they rode. It seemed to have worked, as a dark winged shadow cast over the would-be heroes. A breeze swept over them as a great creature above flapped its wings and swooped down for a landing. It slid abruptly along the snow-covered earth, getting down low on its haunches as it cut them off from the route ahead.<br/><br/>It was a fearsome beast, the sun beating off of the reflective sheen of its white scales. The thing was huge, capable of taking any one of the adventurer's large horses in its claws, and its twenty foot tail whirled around as it bared its fangs for a fight. They were successful in drawing Suenezipheldiur away from the city, and any damage done to the city was minimal. A few frozen fortifications and frightened children, but for the most part everyone had gotten to the safety of their homes long before the dragon could cause much destruction. The only thing left to do was to actually fight him, and that was harder said than done.<br/><br/>It flexed its wings back and roared, kicking up wind and dusty snow up into the heroes' faces.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Initiative!<br/><br/>DC 21 will save!
