Muncagon - the Final Chapter. Battle for the Elven Stronghold.
The adventurers having found the fabled Gondian Primer came upon two of the most magnificent examples of the EUFEMISM-enhanced hamsters intricate and technical realization of the Gnomes work: Space Boats - truly magnificent vessels suspended by balloons capable at flying at speeds greater than an eagle.
Having defeated a rampaging goblin party deep in the mountain, the heroes now knew that the war for the Elven Stronghold had reached near breaking point with Horakus and his army of goblins beating down the gates with hells own fury. Should the Elven stronghold fall, then it was only a matter of time till Seawell fell too, and then what?
Wasting no time, the boarded the boats and proceeded to rain fire and destruction down upon the goblin army. But, the enormity of their task was laid bare when the party saw the Black Dragon at the vanguard.
Needless to say, battle was engaged. Balista bolts¹ rained down on the Dragon and eventually the beast was to feel the keen-edge of Durins axe. Horakus, the winged dragon-blood goblin leader, was similarly defeated with countless arrows and the vicious Greatsword of Thesis finding their home in his black flesh.

^{NOTE: 1. Some friendly fire balista bolts did find themselves (by accident) in the hull of Ship Mendez!}
