Toilday, 31 Abadius 4711 AR (Waning Crescent)

It's actually a ridiculously wide-set of stairs .... and going only slowly, slowly, slowy upwards ... but still climbing high. Because of the lack of distracting other-explorables on this route, the party is able to make it to the top (today covering a total of four squares).

But in doing so the party is exposed during the worst time of day, meaning that means to abate the weather are needed. Since it usually doesn't take more than four hours, Sersheelda casts communal endure elements on the party, but endure elements on herself.

The party gets to a wide empty dais on top of the stairs, with lots of large, ornate pillars all around, and the diameter of this smooth-surfaced higher area about 160' across.

And as the party is up there, they hear a screech from the sky. There to the southwest, flying 50' altitude from the marbletop of this great platform, is a large, flying beast.

Begin Round One ...

R1T21: Sersheelda shouts a warning to the party, "Khy-mara! Old scaley ... hot breath line, short range!" She then moves to the front of the group (in relation to the khy-mara) and readies an action.

R1T17: Gelik, what do you do? The winged monster has the body and head of a lion, but two other heads split off from it ... that of a large goat, and that of a red-scaled dragon.
