Prompt 9

All seemed calm, but a shadow loomed over the land. Homes are burned; forests, now reduced to cinder. It's a void dragon! The people run for their lives and hide from its wrath. Some try to stand before it, but they fall. Some of the people being terrorized are your followers, those who put their trust in you. Who will stop this dragon? Your followers ask that you bless them so they can go and defend their homeland from this scourge. Who will you pick? What power will you give them? Will you even act?

This week's prompt is to pick a follower or chosen one from your group of followers and give them a minor power based on what you have a domain in. When making this chosen one: you create an npc( please nothing too long, though a small back story is fine but it doesn't need to be posted if you don't want to) you name them and pick their class (the level isn't important). Once made you can send them with other NPCs that the other gods made to complete the task of Killing this void dragon.

Alternatively, if this isn't an issue for your god, you can choose to ignore this beast or even make a deal with it (having it be your chosen). Remember, this void dragon is CE so good alignment gods can not take those actions.

May the fourth be with you.

Each God blesses their hero to rise and protect the creatures of this world. As they set out they use the skills of Malia’ druid Amanita and Faelar’s ranger, Ozwalt the Grey, to track the beast to its layer. Amanita deftly used the plants and animals to find safe passageways, while the ranger helped with navigation. But as every party knows: a little luck goes a long way. Hank (Prospero’s champion), a strong and wise Vocessa, found many potential pitfalls and traps just by luck he fell in them but quickly freed or destroyed them with his strength. If any hero were to be hurt they could always rely on their cleric, a beacon of light in the darkness; Just as, in the same way, Kreva’s oasis is a beacon of life in a land of sand. The party was always safe from afar with Maldos’ beautiful male ranger and his exquisite longbow, he would pluck off the monsters that soared above and even skewered fish for the dinners they would have. The one leading from the front was a paladin of Ua , known for being knowledgable and freely spreading learning. Boasting about Smiting the dragon and even more so if it is hoarding knowledge, she leads the charge. Alongside the paladin was a Genine arcane trickster named Sybille; Determined, but light-hearted. Even though she has been plagued by nightmares of this beast, it had only furthered her resolve to defeat this monstrous creature. The youngest of the group was a Bardic Diron called Belfyr, the chosen of Almir. He was enthusiastic and driven to defeat this monster that threatened his friends and family. To the unease of the rest of the party, they allowed him to join them on their quest.

The party arrived at a cave, dark and void of light. Glowing eyes peered from within the cave and a booming voice erupted from it. “This is **my** land. The gods don’t even have the courage to face me themselves, so they send a snack to appease me, very interesting. Welcome, let us see if I can have some fun with my food”. The void dragon emerged from its cave, its skin almost seeming to pull in light, somehow making the world around it darker. Towering over the party it raised its head. “Come to me mortals entertain me!”

The dragon raised its head as dark energy pooled in its mouth and it breathed out a blast of dark fire-like energy; Energy that somehow felt hot and cold, onto the party. But the paladin blocked it with her shield and angled it back at the dragon!

**Dragon 10, Ua’s paladin 14( with 4 remaining)**

The dragon angered by this used its claws to rip into the paladin. Claws black as midnight swipe. But when it looked like the paladin wouldn’t be able to take the blow a well-placed shot from the Vasum ranger launched in the hand of the dragon causing to whence and lose power.

**Dragon 5, paladin 4 Vasum ranger 4(3 left)**

Seeing the opportunity the Vasum ranger shot a volley of arrows at the beast looking beautiful as he did it with flawless form. Some arrows sink in and others seem to just be destroyed on contact. The dragon scoffs, “ Mortal know your place!”, it then flaps its wings causing winds so powerful it sweeps the paladin and ranger away with these gale-force winds as it starts to take flight. As the winds launch at eh party dark energy shoots from it eating the light around it. This angering the life cleric for the lack of respect for life, they create a barrier to protect the party from this energy. Hank then stumbles over a large ballista bolt, seeing the opportunity he uses a combination of his skills to throw the ballista at the dragon, embedding into the dragon’s chest.

**Dragon 19, Vasum ranger 3(0 left), cleric 13(1 left), hank 6( 2 left but with luck ability gets a +2)**

The dragon trying to launch into the air is suddenly stopped by the chain that was attached to the ballista( that's pretty lucky) and hank tries to hold the dragon in place with his strength.

**Dragon 4, hank 4( the reroll ability added a +2, 0 is left)**

The dragon roared, “how dare you! Bow mortal, BOW!”, hank overcome by the spell command dropped to one knee. See their chance, Amanita casting a spell of their own, a sicking radiance surrounds the dragon. The dragon’s skin starts to blister and grey in places.

**Dragon 15, Amanita 15(0 left)**

The dragon sneers, as more dark energy is launched at Sybille, thinking she is the weakest link. As the energy hits the ground nothing seemed to be left. But seconds later Sybille popped back into existence wiping her brow, then catapulting 4 daggers at the dragon that had been lined by poison, but the dragon seem to resist it. The cleric using the last of their energy channels their divinity to heal and stop any of the party from dying.

**Dragon 11, Sybille 10(0 left), Cleric 1(0 left)**

The dragon fury increased, “ ENOUGH!” it yelled, and swiped the hero around it away. A spell begins to be cast, a spear of lightning shoot out of the hand of Ozwalt the Grey as he flies backward. Gaining his footing he slams the ground and spectral vines erupt from the ground and cover the dragon pinning ot to the groud. As the dragon was pinned  Belfyr runs forward weapon out, anger and rage in the air around him as he rushes to the dragon with abandon.

**Dragon 9, Ozwalt the Grey 8(0 left),  Belfyr 24(23 left)**

As  Belfyr runs toward the dragon, The void dragon breaks from it bonds, but it was too late,  Belfyr was already upon it. With a slash, stab, punch  Belfyr beats the dragons using the rage he has to increase his speed and attacks. The dragons seeing its end from this young mortal, it tries to flee, but strong hands grab the tail of the dragon, fingers digging into its flesh. Belfyr with tail in hand pulls the dragon and stops its movement. The dragon goes to swipe at  Belfyr but the dragon in its weaken state, the hand is caught and broken by the young mortal from the combined strength of his rage and resolve. The dragon helpless and unable to move is quickly swamped by the party and swiftly killed.

**Dragon 11,  Belfyr 23(12 left over)**

The party victorious they plunder the cave of its riches and bring to there domains.
