i /think/ this is the way through. at least i can hover down. i'm not sure if there's a ladder. the trees are like ghosts in this mist.

here we are! i'll recast our buffs

the dragon telepathically challenges us. you can /barely/ make out its uplifted wings.

and now we use my new spell, fire pact! all party members now have fire attacks.

i'm casting palladium like nobody's businiss. if i can hoover up damage before it's even damage, then i don't need to be physically near people (or call them off their tasks) to heal. and if i can get a moment...

five bars out of six!

there, solemnity! if this works as planned i can keep the dragon from even silencing us in the first place. i opted for this instead of halidom (which /cures/ silence) and am backing it up with potions which can cure if i fuck up.

this fight is great.

Elspeth is trying to climb Fimbl, which is also useful because it keeps her out of range of the breath attacks.

haha you can quickspell solemnity if you mess up and it starts casting. that's so evil and so good.

two bars and change, and we've stunned it! this is going to be an extremely hard punish

almost down to 2?? it's trying to cast and i may be too late to silence.

it looks like it got one spell off but it's offensive, not silence. we can absorb that.

1!

lost Felicia! i was spread thin and should have healed.

me trying to tank an attack with palladium while i cast celestial paean. it's a /very/ long cast so you really need palladium beforehand if you're to have any hope!

aah it worked!

my god the last bar is really a long haul! this hailstorm is keeping me so busy.

i cannot see what's happening at all haha

aah we did it! that was a wonderful fight. that's such a testament to very well orchestrated interlocking team abilities and threat / countermeasure pairs being magical when you really land it.

oh! we discovered the obelisk which teaches brontide. ok so it looks like it's good vs. groups, causes flinch and sometimes unconsciousness? that's neat, there's not any wide AOE crowd control in the base game.

the creature on the obelisks is interesting- is it a different stylization of the one on the archways?

rabbits in the dark and... some violet luminous griffon? is it a weird variant, or is something fighting it?
