Fluff in Peril!

Five hundred Prospects charge from behind Priscilla, weapons drawn and ready to start beating down on the Gold Dragon, only for the beast to scowl and start spewing a wave of fire at them, incinerating those in-front and badly burning a few behind them. However, due to their large numbers most were insulated by the others acting as human shields.

Schall growls and prepares to fire another torrent, only to be struck in the chest by yet another Dragon Slayer arrow, courtesy of Priscilla. "YOU ARROGANT MORTALS! PREPARE TO MEET DEATH!" it exclaims, charging the group of people and wiping out a fraction of them with a few swipes from its claws.

The Prospects try everything they can to dodge it's strikes but the Dragon is too large to reliably dodge in the large group, their powers are also useless against the huge beast due to its magical resistance, strength and size. Kalini who's behind everyone watching pales and looks up towards the mountain where the Chaos Covenant and new Absolver training centre are being constructed, hoping that someone up there would notice this beast before it caused some real damage.

Priscilla fires yet another arrow, but Schall was keeping an eye on her, ducking it and glaring at her with his own reptilian eyes. He tries to move towards her and ignore the Prospects, but finds even their weapons can somehow penetrate his scales, causing him to refocus his attention on them, determined to destroy the girl after he'd killed all of them.

From the nearby forest arrows start flying, though none of them carry enough weight or power to penetrate the Dragon's Scales like Priscilla's Great bow had done, even with the arrows being of similar quality.

The elves under Iorveth have returned from a patrol, finally noticing the Gold One trying to destroy the city. However, they are dismayed to find that their arrows didn't seem to affect the beast, only causing it to be wary of taking another arrow to its remaining eye.

Even a few Monsters started to try and assist in taking down the dragon, only for Undyne to realise her Spears did literally nothing to it, it's magical resistance preventing the Monster from even affecting it. Quickly she decides to get the monsters out of the battle and back into the city, them not likely to contribute anything to the battle aside from an increased casualty count.

"Saskia!" a familiar voice shouts beside the fallen Green Dragons head, having just been absolutely trounced by Schall she was sure she'd be dead already, though the urgency in the tone fo the voice caused her to raise her head and open her eyes.

What she saw next shocked her... Iorveth? Her dragon form didn't allow for human speech, but the recognition in her eyes was enough for the Elf.

Iorveth "It is a fine time to meet you again, but now is not the time to reacquaint ourselves, your friend is getting dangerously close to being carved up and served for lunch." he says, them both turning their heads to Schall brutally destroying the army of prospects.

Saskia isn't sure what Iorveth means, the Dragon seems to be overpowering the cities forces but he'd never lied to her before. With his presence, she felt much more assured of this city's goal and knew Schall must be stopped.

She tries to get up and stumbles, almost flattening Iorveth as he attempts to help keep her steady, though he's not strong enough to even provide the smallest amount of support, his intentions help Saskia mentally push herself up though.

Iorveth "We should get you somewhere safe, you are too weak to continue fighting." he states. Though Saskia shakes her head, almost stumbling as she does so.

She rears up on her hand legs and shoots flames at Schall, though it does nothing more than heat the dragon slightly, he turns and swings his arm haphazardly, cracking her across her snout and knocking her over again, returning to his battle with the Prospects.

Iorveth "Saskia! Transform back, I'll help you!" he commands.

Feeling weak from the repeated blows to the head, Saskia slowly shrinks down into her human form, Iorveth propping her up before slowly dragging her away from the battlefield while Schall tears it asunder.

Soon enough the Witchers appear with Yennefer, Ciri and Keira in tow, they all look at the Dragon in disbelief, Gold Ones an incredible rarity that's not often seen aside from paintings and writings of them.

Geralt steps forward and shouts, "Villentretenmerth!?!"

Schall glowers at them, "Do not speak of that philosophic drivel spouting traitor!" it roars, slashing apart a few more Prospects while dodging another Dragon Slaying arrow.

Lambert "I don't know about you guys, but fuck fighting that thing!"

Eskel nods, "I hate to admit it guys but we're outmatched."

Yennefer "You boys sit back and let us do all the work then." she says mockingly, her and Keira stepping forwards and beginning to conjure a spell to hopefully disarm the Dragon, despite its magical resistance.

By the time they'd spoken the incantation most of the Prospects had already been killed, a flash of light signals it's completion however.

Schall's wings and limbs have rings of ephemeral chains appear from nowhere and begin to wrap around them, it's magical resistance not preventing them from physically restraining him. He roars and struggles against them for a moment, the spell seeming to have worked.

Keira "If you want something done right, do it yourself." she says smugly while giving Lambert a grin.

Priscilla shoots another Dragon Slayer arrow at Schall while he's restrain almost hitting his heart, but missing due to the Dragon's erratic movement.

Fear of death makes itself known in the dragon's mind, causing him to struggle more and more, *Creeaaaaakkkk*, the chains give off an ominous sound before completely shattering, dissipating into particles as Schall charges Priscilla.

The Witchers attempt to stop its charge but are too far away to do anything substantial apart from fire haphazard signs at it, accomplishing nothing.

Schall rears up and tries to slam his fists on Priscilla, all the while shouting "DIE!"
