 About halfway up the Spire the area falls into flux and Xavi is able to swiftly guide his companions towards the top.  There they enter the dragon Turaya sleeping, a heavy iron collar resting around its neck.  Woken from its slumber the dragon bids them to remove the binding upon it, placed there when the Iceblood hero managed to drive a single fragment of the Dragon Slayer past its scaled hide.  The party manage to shatter the bindings and the jubilant dragon flies off, levelling the city below as it flees. About halfway up the Spire the area falls into flux and Xavi is able to swiftly guide his companions towards the top.  There they enter the dragon Turaya sleeping, a heavy iron collar resting around its neck.  Woken from its slumber the dragon bids them to remove the binding upon it, placed there when the Iceblood hero managed to drive a single fragment of the Dragon Slayer past its scaled hide.  The party manage to shatter the bindings and the jubilant dragon flies off, levelling the city below as it flees.
  
-TBC    ​+Finally reaching the grand chambers at the top of the Spire the party are confronted by Kolo the Peacebringer who rants at them briefly before the party loses patience and kicks off.  Sev quickly disarms the warlord of Dragon Slayer but the blade continues to have its say, whispering into the party'​s minds and unleashing magics into the battle. ​ Xavi repeatedly attempts to grab the blade and is possesed into attacking his comrades, they keep putting him down, but sensing a useful tool the Dragon Slayer uses its vast reserves of mana to pick him up again and again, and finally with half the party downed by a gout of flame, the young god grabs his prize and vanishes into the flux leaving Toli, Paige and the truthseekers staring at an empty stairway.

 +As the conscious party members rouse their comrades Xavi flees through the consensus floors of the Spire, the Dragon Slayer helpfully sheering the tower above apart with a blast of Fracturing magics. ​ Running out into the devastated polar city he flees unimpeded by the inhabitants and once in the wastelands beyond he merges with the flux and spirits himself back across the seas and then down towards distant, hidden lands...  ​
  
 With the Spire collapsing around them the remaining members of the party take a few moments to stuff their pockets with the treasures decorating the throne room and then sprint for safety. ​ As they flee down the tower they manage to catch up with a number of their crimson-hued allies and together they flee the settlement as the great tower of ice comes crashing down onto the streets. After explaining as well as they can what has transpired the party accepts the assistance of the dejected Skirans in getting off the Everchill and returning to Acryn. ​ They have a long sail home, but at least most of it occurs at positive temperatures. ​ Evan and Sev take the opportunity to prevail on Paige to educate them in her rare magical expertise. With the Spire collapsing around them the remaining members of the party take a few moments to stuff their pockets with the treasures decorating the throne room and then sprint for safety. ​ As they flee down the tower they manage to catch up with a number of their crimson-hued allies and together they flee the settlement as the great tower of ice comes crashing down onto the streets.
