Dragon Turtle

Last night’s main boss battle was with a dragon turtle. It became an epic battle! The PCs entered a cave where they were distracted by the presence of three merrows, so they didn’t do any checks on the cave. It turned out that part of the floor of the cave was the shell of the dragon turtle. They were trying to reach a treasure chest on the back side of the cave that contained a special jewel, the object of their sea quest. Omar decided that his rogue would head straight for the chest, leaving Tyr and Hal to deal with the gargantuan creature on their own. Omar failed to pick the lock on the chest and even broke his thieves’ tools in the process of failing. In the end, Tyr and Hal managed to defeat the dragon turtle, though it was close. Both of them had HP in the single digits at the end, and Hal the bard had to use knock to get the chest open.
