Killed our first dragon gents. Cryovain is no more.
We get to the rooftop and he is waiting. Breath attacks us all. Drops two of the orcs. Deals 50 damage. Fighter son and I save and take 25 damage. We would have been out if we took the full damage. We can only see 10 feet because of the wind and blizzard. Cryovain is in the darkness. We met a specter earlier in the hold who agreed to help us. She flies in and illuminates the area for us. Then it's on.
I have an epic first attack round:
12 + 4 menacing = 16 damage.
7 + 5 menacing = 12 damage.
Action Surge.
Natural freaking 20. 8 doubled to 16 + 5 str/prof bonus = 21 then 5 menacing doubled to 10 = 31 total damage. BOOM.
And another natural freaking 20. 3 doubled to 6 + 5 str/prof bonus = 11 then 6 menacing doubled to 12 = 23 damage.
82 damage total.
Cryovain has a mate. Another white dragon. Teef Splitta the legendary orc appears and goes one-on-one with the other dragon. Cryovain is seriously bloodied and takes to the sky. He flies around in the darkness waiting for his breath attack to recharge. We spread out and wait.
Cryovain dives from the sky, breath attacks our fighter son, and freaking crashes through the stone rooftop taking them both down into the room below. DM tells our son it's now a one-on-one battle with Cryovain to the death. Cryovain is on death's door. Son attacks and hears:
How do you want to do this?
We erupt in victory yelling!
Son receives the title of Dragon Slayer.
The loot. Dragon's Wrath axe named Oathkeeper. Very powerful weapon. Will identify it when we get back to Phandalin.
Legendary orc keeps the treasure horde as we agreed.
War Pick of Warning. Adamantine plate mail armor.
Son and wife level to 6. I'll level to 6 once my soul is restored.
Session ends for the dragon slayers.
Forgot to mention we leveled up. Well, our fighter son and wife bard did. I did not because I felt I have to restore my soul before I can take my first level in Cleric. Currently a level 5 fighter. Going to take War Priest which is cool because you get the following. So I'll be able to Attack (two attacks), war priest bonus attack, Action Surge to Attack (two attacks), then war priest bonus attack again. Six attacks. Plus, I have a 16 WIS so I can do three war priest bonus attacks a day.
Fighter son has 67 hp now. Bard has Counterspell and Fireball.
War Priest
From 1st level, your god delivers bolts of inspiration to you while you are engaged in battle. When you use the Attack action , you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Absolute madman. Well done.
Restful session this week. Entered Waterdeep. Our son is itching to try his new dragon breath attack from his weapon. Wife has fireball now too. We joked we'd go straight to the market then dragon breath and fireball all the helpless citizens.
Took some horse carriages, which my wife thought was funny, to the Fateless Fiddle inn. Lukin Tinn is supposed to be there who may be able to help restore my soul. Turning out to be much harder than anticipated in gaining an audience. We probably talked and debated with the concierge for about 10 minutes before realizing we could have just paid the entry fee for this ritzy establishment.
Had to write a letter requesting an audience. We'll see if we receive a response. Mirt, the richest man in Waterdeep, came through the inn and went behind closed doors. We paid for his food and asked the server to see if he wanted to join our table and hear a tale about dragon slaying. Not sure if he'll be interested.
A retinue of paladins came in. One noticed my cross around my neck and we talked about paths of redemption. The House of Wonder in Waterdeep may be able to offer me some assistance. And here I thought we'd stroll into Waterdeep, find the person to fix me, and viola. Looks like it's not going to be that easy.
