In 2010 the final room in all three dungeons contained Smoak the Dragon (two groups fought her independently and one group was working on a puzzle). She was a very impressing animatronic especially for the time. She towered over the room.
She had a huge hoard of tokens. I think there were 6 five gallon buckets of tokens piled around her.
She was very difficult to kill on Nightmare level. (See the thread,
www.truedungeon.com/forum?view=topic&defaultmenu=141&catid=602&id=253124&start=0
) for other people’s recollections of fighting this dragon.
We had been warned by the Lore Token Puzzle, that she had an “Ioun Stone Black Pearl”. This Ioun stone cancels any “plus to hit” bonuses from tokens. With an AC of 24 the only way to hit her was to slide a 20. On the battle board, the 20 area was a token sized circle inside of her mouth. The Ioun stone was also on the battle board but was not labeled. It was just a white circle connected to a thin white line on a black background.
So basically there were three ways to kill her.
The “Wil Wheaton” method, slide a 20 with +2 Long Spear of Dragonslaying and have the symbol pointing in the right direction. (Thus leading to the famous picture of Wil and crew in front of the defeated dragon, seen at
www.truedungeon.com/tokens
)
The “Incredible Skill” method, slide a boat load of 20s. I believe Laz did it this way.
The “Team Token” method, using 5 Rings of the Ram to shatter the Ioun Stone and then melee like normal.
Smoak was a smart dragon and used items from her hoard. One of the items was a “Ring of Wizardry”. A sharp eyed adventurer could have noticed that she had that ring on a claw. In fact I think you can see the token in the photo, right at the edge of Will’s right sleeve.
This week’s auction will be for the “Ring of Wizardry” worn by Smoak, it is distinctive because the token is superglued to Velcro which was used to attach it to her claw.
If asked about the size of her hoard, the DM was supposed to point the “Horn of Plenty” (the actual Horn not a token) she was wearing on a chain around her neck.
Matthew remembers the Ioun Stone token was attached to the Dragon too (I missed that)
People in the True Dungeon History thread asked about the Magic Missiles spell working. It did work but the Ioun Stone had 40 HP so there were not enough Magic Missiles damage alone to kill the stone.
The token is still a valid Ring of Wizardry so I am going to start the opening bid a little higher.
Final Price: $200.00. The minimum raise accepted will be $5.00
Please PM me with bids. I will reply if you are the current high bidder or if your bid get topped by another bidder.
This auction is closed.
