The Dungeons and Dragons episode opened with the party convening in a Waterdeep bar, preparing to meet “L” for a mission involving the Council of Dragons. Their meeting was abruptly interrupted by a violent disturbance: a section of the bar's roof was ripped off and ascended into the air, propelled by large, dark wings, signaling the arrival of a large flying creature, likely a dragon. This dramatic event caused widespread panic in the surrounding streets.
As the flying creature reached a height of approximately one hundred feet, several individuals were observed rappelling down ropes from its side. The creature then dropped the roof section back onto the street, adding to the chaos. The Game Master informed the players that the initial two rounds of any action taken in the street would be considered difficult terrain due to the panicked crowd.
The party began strategizing, debating whether to confront the rappelling individuals directly or attempt a stealthy approach. There was also a brief discussion regarding a character's polymorph effect and the party's positioning on the game map. The players then rolled for initiative, indicating an impending encounter. One character mentioned their watcher aura, which could boost initiative, but noted its limited range.
The Game Master confirmed that four individuals had successfully rappelled from the flying creature, which then departed. The party's poison resistance from a previous session remained active. A character used their legendary resistance, and another cast “bless” while asserting their dragon status. The episode concluded with the party facing a chaotic scene, poised to engage with the individuals who had just descended from the mysterious flying creature in the heart of Waterdeep.
