Ancient Green Dragon Spawn in Bendir?

Post by Xerah » Wed Jun 28, 2017 4:34 pm

Last night (0030 PST), I had a green dragon drop on me in the middle of Bendir. The dragon landed between Lissa's house and The Ministry of Gnomen Affairs building.

Lissa is a wild mage but I did not cast a spell ahead of time (just drank a potion; nor do I think spawning a dragon is one of the listed surge options) and was walking/portal from Cordor (caravan --> portal --> Bendir) so I don't think it could have been dragged from elsewhere.

The thing landed, disappeared three times in very quick succession, hit me with knockdown then I died. There was no interaction with this.

I asked the DM channel but I got no response, so I have to assume this was not the result of DM action.

I respawned and walked back in (there were 6 people or so in the main area by the message board) and the dragon spawned back in killing even more people and NPCs.

Is there a misplaced spawn here? Did a DM leave a powerful dragon there and log off? I'm pretty confused by what happened.

Could be someone dragged the Dragon onto the map, and then fled, leaving it to fly around swatting players. Though it'd have come a long way...

There is an adult green dragon not far from Bendir, in Arelith Forest. Likely someone caught its attention (it has a large detection range) then ran back to Bendir's map. Dragons can leap over walls and stuff; likely followed a "trail of candy" of NPCs before finally finding you. :(

If a PC runs with a monster chasing them this can happen. I've seen devils from Benwick get to Bendir in a similar fashion, chasing players to the end of the world.

Sorry we weren't around at the time to offer you aid.

Darn, I guess that could be it. I didn't think it could scale up to an Ancient dragon.

A green dragon sometimes spawns in the Forest of Despair as well.

The dragon in the Arelith Forest is not an Ancient. It is an Adult.
