For months, the great black dragon, Nefarion, had mustered the forces of evil in the surrounding lands. He gethered all the surrounding tribes of monsters; orcs, wyverns, trolls, goblins, and more, whipping them into a mighty army, while, deep within his mountain lair, the ruins of an ancient dwarven fortress, he prepared an army unlike anything the world had seen before. He made his proclamation, declaring his intent to crush all the surrounding civilized kingdoms, unles they bowed down in surrender to him.<br/><br/>He must be stopped.<br/><br/>A small band of powerful heroes has assembled, a strike force powerful enough to infiltrate the dragon's fortress, fight its way to the very peak, and confront the dragon lord himself.<br/><br/>**********************************<br/><br/>Outside the mountain, gathered around its base, a small army is encamped; too numerous to fit within the volcano's fortress, they've spilled out into the surrounding countryside. While there are numerous entrances to the peak, there are a lot of enemies between safety and its heart.<br/><br/>Skill Challenge: Enter the Peak.<br/><br/>To complete this challenge, all players must earn two successes (for a total of ten) before four failures. No player may earn more than one success in one category, though one player may earn a success for multiple people, or for both of the categories.<br/><br/>The first success requires evading the army camped around the peak. Suggested skills would likely be Stealth, Bluff, or Perception, though creativity is encouraged. Multiple successes for allies can be granted by aiming for harder DCs.<br/><br/>The second success requires entering the fortress. Acrobatics, Bluff, Intimidate, and Stealth are suggested. Multiple successes for allies can be granted by aiming for harder DCs.<br/><br/>Good luck.
