Day 182 to Day 187: Quiet Flight

Everyone rests up after the battle against the Wight King, and then they sail to try and catch up with the other regalia they have sensed.

Day 183, Before they leave, Olo creates a small Hobbit Temple on the site of the battle, (and makes contact with his followers elsewhere)

They are in the air, and sailing south to meet up with the other regalia:

The Orb and the Crown are stored in the smuggler's hold of the RNV, which dampens the magic field of them.

Their flight is interrupted by Uthorim the Elf who has come to warn them off.
The problem is that the regalia all in one place will draw the Black King's attention and they are not ready to face him yet.

"We are not ready, we do not have enough army, and winter is here. There are lands to be cleaned of keerdah, and much to do: Go anywhere but to the Seat of the Elven King, He will summon you when he is ready"

They agree, after a meeting with Galen, and Galen takes the Orb, and goes back to the Elven King at Meath

Isabel convinces the others to go to Castle Connaught and liberate it

Then they fly to Castle Connaught on the RNV

Night 180 to Day 182: Death of the Wight King

The 180st night, they discover a mouse living in Boz's head, but they're unable to get it out.

Day 181, they fly south,
Olo inspires Odo,
Malik does secret stuff...
Isabel watches the horizon, and Boz does the flying

Afternoon 181, As before, Olo attempts to cook, but it's bleh

That night, they coax the mouse out of Boz's head and he feels much better.

SUDDENLY, the magic "visibility" on the ship blacks out.
And there's an elf on the wing!!

Boz banks to drop the elf off as the others awake and get ready to fight

Boz focuses on flying, as Malik flies under the RNV and spots Keerdah climbing up, but then Malik fails his magic roll and knocks himself unconscious!

Isabel is attacked by a Keerdah elf and flees, and Boz and Olo rush to her assistance

Isabel hangs up her lantern and begins to prep the shipboard cannon, as Olo tries to contain the Keerdah who are climbing all over the RNV

One makes its way to Boz, who dispatches it easily.  How did these keerdah get on the RNV?!

Malik rouses himself and flops ungainlily to a tree below the RNV

He heals himself, as Olo braces himself, shipboard, to try and roust Keerdah out of the depths of the ship

They realize a King above them is dropping Keerdah onto the RNV.

Boz stands the RNV on its tail to give Isabel a shot at the dive-bombing King.

As the King descends, Isabel shoots at her and misses, and Boz rolls the RNV to avoid the King's strike

It's a desperate airborne combat as the Wight King breathes on the RNV, then dodges another shot from Isabel

Isabel reloads, as Boz yaws the RNV around to face the Wight King, Olo dons the dawnbringer AND BRINGS THE DAWN

The fight continues on the ground as Day 182 dawns

The King is stunned to the ground by the sudden Dawn, and Isabel nails her with an incendiary round, not damaging her, but setting her on fire.

Boz holds position above her, and Malik streaks to regain the fight.

The White King douses the fire, as new elves, not Keerdah, but intelligent, jumponto the ship. Boz drops them with a quick wing waggle.

Olo strikes the Wight King, with an arrow that marks the area as Olo's own land, and then loses control of himself, transforming into King form and plunging to the ground for a Rex-a-Rex battle.

Boz brings the RNV down lower to support him, as Malik continues back, and Isabel preps the cannon

Olo dodges a tail strike from the Wight King and knocks her sprawling

Isabel again hits her and set her ablaze.  Malik, exhausted, dopes himself for the continuation of the fight

Elves allied with the WIght King pepper them with arrows to n o effect, as Olo does battle with the Wight King. Boz joins into the fray, as the RNV touches down.

He's no match for the Wight King, as she lays him low with a blow.

Olo slays her, and there's a moments rest... until she's back on her feet!  What treachery is this?

The elves begin to aim, and choose their shots carefully, damaging our heroes as they attempt to again lay low the Wight King.

Isabel's work with the corrupting arrows of the Insane Wyrm Bow finally rot enough of the WIght King's skull to expose her brain, and she's finished off shortly thereafter.  The elves supporting her make themselves scarce, and the group return to the RNV, where they collapse with fatigue and exhaustion, but exhilarated by the death of a major ally of the Black King
