Holek and Brom successfully climbed onto Gwen, bribing her with sweet sweet salad. Upon mentioning Rozenn's name, she let out a dutiful huff and began galloping across the meadow towards her master. Considering the two halflings combined were substantially lighter than the fully-armored Rozenn, the horse made excellent time!
***
Rozenn, meanwhile, fired an arrow up at the dragon! It plinked harmlessly off her scales, but she noticed regardless and became enraged when she saw Rozenn riding off towards her lair. She became angrier still when she saw Avag and Comète standing upon the walls, waving fire and screaming.
Despite the stubborn knight still hanging onto her back, she flew off towards the castle! Along the way, she looked down and bathed Rozenn and Henri's horse alike in fire. The flames immediately heated Rozenn's armor to a burning temperature, but she escaped the worst of it by jumping off the horse and rolling onto the grassy ground. The horse continued charging forward, suffering the flames with a dignity afforded by her enchanted caparison. Despite this, the heat was clearly making her uncomfortable, and she charged off into the woods once Rozenn had hopped off. The dragon didn't stop, and continued flying towards Avag and Comète.
As Rozenn sat in the grass trying to cool/tear her burning hot armor off, Brom and Holek rode up on Gwen!
***
Terzi and Zaya reached the edge of the woods, arriving just in time to see the dragon torch Rozenn and fly off over the nearby walls. Looked like everyone else had ALSO had the idea of running towards the dragon's lair while she was distracted fighting Henri, but with somewhat divergent objectives.
***
Guillairme and Caulind continued to approach the castle on foot, singing their respective songs. With a great deal of focus, Caulind was able to telepathically link Henri to Guillairme. The former was a bit focused on fighting the dragon, but if the latter wished to communicate he could do so!
Grokzurl caught up to this group around this time, huffing a bit from the sizable sprint!
***
Avag and Comète watched as Rozenn fired her arrow, raced towards the keep, and got bathed in fire for her trouble. Sadly, the dragon didn't stop there, proceeding at breakneck speed towards the castle. Comète threw her fireball, but it seemed to have little effect as the dragon sent a giant torrent of flame down at the wall. Between Avag's durability and Comète's firesinging, the two of them were able to bear the brunt long enough to dive into a nearby tower, but Avag had still suffered a few burns and Comète's armor was burning hot.
Sir Henri reached the dragon's wings at this point, and delivered a mighty stab into the base of one of them. This caused the dragon to roar out in pain as she lost her aerial balance, sending her careening down into the inner courtyard. Landing with an enormous thoom, the enraged dragon finally managed to reach up and grab one of Henri's legs. Swinging him off her back, she began tearing into him with tooth and claw.
