On the night of April 28th the Wyrmrest Accord intercepted a message from Coldara to Blue Dragonflight forces in Azshara to be on the lookout for an escaped prisoner of great importance in their area. The Dragonsworn Council was dispatched to Azshara to retrieve the escapee before the Blue's could recapture him.
Undergoing this dangerous assignment were the following Dragonsworn: Amikaria, Biorn, Dagin, Leonrosette, Lexix, Turkmuzan, and Rublestrasza.
A search through the forests and ancient ruins of the area did indeed turn up the escaped prisoner, an apprentice mage of the Kirn Tor, but it also turned up a deadly Chimaera that had decided to make the mage his dinner!
The Chimaera was chased off, but during the return trip the Dragonsworn were ambushed by a Blue Dragonkin search party. The Dragonsworn Council were caught in the open while the Dragonkin were hidden in the woods and we took a great deal of damage during the opening of the battle. To make matters worse the Chimaera returned to sow chaos and snapped up the Matron of the Dragonsworn herself in an effort to get a free meal!
Yeah... that means me.
It wasn't pleasant.
At all.
So there I was clutched in the claws of the Chimaera. What did our brave and fearless Leon Rosette do? He threw his shield at the beast... but unfortunately his aim was less than true and he hit me in the face!
I'm still bruised. Sometimes I think mortal form isn't worth the trouble.
Biorn and the escaped prisoner hid behind the roots of an ancient tree... he seemed to think they would provide some cover but the Dragonkin seemed to disagree on that theory... their withering fire of arcane missles proved to be too much for such weak cover. At that point Biorn decided the best defense was a good offense... well... more a straight up bear charge.
Our new shaman Amikara kept us from faltering, her healing energies restoring us somewhat, but even Amikara was hard pressed to keep us up against so many enemies.
Lexix, our gnomish death knight was punted... literally punted... by a Dragonkin. You never think it will happen to you... till it does. You should have seen the look on her face when she went sailing by.
Dagin tried to bring the Chimaera down but the beast avoided the attack and used the only projectile it had at hand to return fire... ME! I went tumbling into Dagin and we were both knocked down and winded.
Finally our superior numbers and the healing powers of Amikara began to tell and the tide slowly began to turn. Lexix gained her revenge by downing one Dragonkin, while Leon slew the other. Biorn managed to slay their leader, a dragonspawn mageweaver. Finally the Chimaera could take no more against the combined might of the
Dragonsworn Council and was taking down by a killing blow by Dagin.
Returning to the Wyrmhearth after the battle we discovered that the apprentie's master, Archmage Vargoth, was still in the hands of the Blue Dragonflight, imprisoned deep within the Nexus. An enchanted staff the apprentice was carrying would allow us to communicate with him... if we could manage to find a way to power it.
I think the intelligence Archmage Vargoth has of the Nexus could be invaluable. The Dragonsworn will be pursuing this lead with vigor.
More reports as events warrant.
-Rublestrasza, Matron of the Dragonsworn.
