## Plot Summary

As the wraith continues to attack the party, a small scaled creature (monster drop) lands on its shoulder.  Starheart panics and runs inside the mountain, passing Andre who is running back outside.  He tells Ora to stop trying to destroy the mountain, he’s bought them more time by convincing the fiend Orkan to turn on Kurluk.  The cat sized dragon taunts them, claiming the mountain as his own, and breaths fire upon them.  One of the ents is burned alive.

Paragon Tinytoes arrives alongside Brice Twinkletoes and Jace Fast Feet (character drop x3), all members of the Dancing Paladins.  Vor continues his assault on the wraith, lobbing several bombs.  Squirk the cave cricket attacks the small dragon.  The freed Quai fires an ethereal bow at the orc riding his heartbeast.  The paladins attacks the heartbeast, not knowing that it is enslaved.  Andre the stone giant tosses boulders at the wraith.  Bubo and Nitsuj continue to attack the wraith as the last remaining orc tosses Tinytoes off the mountain.

The cricket and Dumeril attack the tiny dragon as it claws at Bubo.  Ora slashes the wraith to death.  The ent leader succumbs to the fire.  Balbroth the white dragon wyrmling (character drop) arrives to help his friend Squirk.  The wraith's armor explodes and launches fire into the air, signalling for his brethren to come.  Eight more black cloaked figures pop into existence (character drop x8).  Three elementals (earth, fire, and air) arise from the fissure.

Halestorm surveys the inside of the mountain and reports back to Nitsuj what he sees.  Fizz Binkle remains motionless on the ground.  Kurluk’s army battles the eldritch monster.  Kurluk and Thaul Alhoon battle Orkan to a standstill, which should not be possible.  Nitsuj casts invisibility on himself, Ora, and Bubo and flees into the mountain.  The discs of the mountain slide back into place, basically rebooting the mountain and Klaxxon’s menagerie.  Andre attempts to turn undead on the wraiths, but it has little effect, so he flees into the mountain.

The tiny dragon burns the third ent and the stone giant to death.  Bubo follows Nitsuj into the mountain.  At first he wants to find his portrait, but changes his mind when he sees all the demons in the mountain.  The Quai finally makes it to his heartbeast and stabs the orc atop it.  Ora whispers to Vor that it is his responsibility now to make the mountain blow and runs into the mountain.  She asks Dumeril to find Starheart.

Halestorm and Dumeril find Starheart at the home of the Flintbornes.  Nitsuj makes his way there.  Bubo and Ora make it to the Peak level.  Bubo, wanting to gain more power knowing what the party is up against, raids the temple of Hortiel and Luidwyn (although he does not know who the temples are dedicated to) and grabs the first books he sees.  The first book is made a stone and the pages are dirty. The second book is beautifully made with gold inlay.

Ora exits the Peak Gate and looks down at the chaos in front of the mountain.  The bolts are firing at max capacity at the wraiths.   The tiny dragon destroys the last ent.  The Quai finishes off the last orc and leaves with his heartbeast.  Squirk and Balboth circle the mountain.  Klaxxon’s army and the remaining gnomes march toward the gate.  Off to the west, she sees another unknown group approaching the mountain.  Bubo arrives with his portrait, which is actually his mimic.

## Fun Moments

At the top of the how, the crew announces they finally have a studio space!

The crews singalongs to classic 90s bands makes someone in chat say that if the sing any Nickleback, they want a refund. So of course Justin takes the drawing of Copperfogre and sings "Look at this mountain graph."

There is also a fun sing along to a Muppet Christmas Carol.
