Lac Dinneshere
The crystalline spire of Cryshal-Tirith rises up in the night sky, its muted glow marking the direction of Easthaven and Lac Dinneshere. Reòthadh and the others draw dangerously close to the seized town, but the barbarian sentries allow them to pass by uncontested.

Eventually they come to the banks of the great lake. Its surface shines with the light of the stars above, stirred by the ever-present wind. An armored figure stands on the shore, icy blue gaze piercing through visor and night to track Reòthadh’s movements.

Jerrod waits with his sword drawn.

A short distance away are Tansia, Skaudmol, and a third chieftain, presumably of the Tribe of the Bear.

Tansia steps forward to speak with grave ceremony. "Reòthadh, Champion of the North, comes to challenge Jerrod, Chief of Chiefs, for leadership of the Reghed tribes. He claims the right by deed, having long ago battled against and helped slay Icasaracht, the last of the great white matriarchs, whose bones yet lie at the bottom of this lake."

Re: Lac Dinneshere
Jerrod remains utterly still for a long moment, and Reòthadh believes that now, on this second encounter with the enigmatic warrior-king, that there is something familiar in his frigid stare.

Then Jerrod raises his sword. "I will answer his challenge, and his blood will water the stones beneath our feet, and all will know that I am the rightful ruler of the tribes."

The voice is as cold and merciless as his gaze, but Alalla and Zenithral also find something familiar about it.

Re: Lac Dinneshere
The elder dwarf approaches his adversary, stepping with resolve towards his fate; to life and new leadership or failure and death. His features stand out to those waiting for the challenge to unfold, his face illuminated by the weaving of northern lights dancing like ribbons around his countenance. To his companions the nomad almost appears younger in age, having taken time to trim his beard and polish his armor. The chill in the air brings peace to Reòthadh, as he faces Jerrod, he rebukes the tyrants words.

"A dwerf will serve the North, she shall decide his fate. Prepare yerself, for the earth will shake this day under the weight of yer fall."

Reòthadh cast Crown of Stars (7th level) in preparation for the fight.

Jerrod advances with a creak of metal that rides the wind like a wolf’s cry (Reo fails his wisdom save and is frightened for 1 minute, and he can also reroll the save at the end of each turn). He swings his sword forward in a slash toward Reòthadh’s shoulder, and then a back swing that slices the dwarf’s opposite thigh. Each stroke of the sword is accompanied by tendrils of black energy that leech at the dwarf’s resolve (Reo takes 18 slashing damage and 40 necrotic damage).

"Your end is near, Reòthadh. Your corpse will be devoured by wild beasts, and your name forgotten!"

Troubled, but remaining steadfast, the dwarf stands tall, growing in size ready for the onslaught of Jerrod’s blows.

Re: Lac Dinneshere
Jerrod snarls at Reòthadh’s courageous stand. The blade swipes upward, but the worst of its effects are engaged by the dwarf’s magical defenses. What’s more, Reòthadh’s icy armor retaliates with a chilling fog that seeps into Jerrod’s own plate mail. The Chief of Chiefs grunts, but the cold magic seems to slow him little. He brings his sword around in a second swipe that shatters Reòthadh’s magical protection (In total, after resistance, Reo takes 6 slashing and 36 necrotic damage. Also, Jerrod takes a total of 22 cold damage after resistance).

Jerrod laughs bitterly. "The bite of frost will do less against me than you know, fool dwarf."

Alalla watches the fight, eyes tracking each blow carefully. "Who is he?" she mutters to Zenithral. "Knowing who he is could help Reòthadh predict his moves." She calls on Torm and opens her senses, trying to discern if the man was part fiend himself.

He summons Fluphy.

There’s something familiar about this Jerrod...care to help jog my memory if I need it?

Alalla feels a dull ache in her chest as she opens her senses. This Jerrod, whoever he is, is possessed by some undead spirit.

Fluphy attempts to probe Jerrod’s thoughts, but finds itself entirely rebuffed. Still, the flumph is able to share with Zenithral a certain mental image, a sense of emptiness covered by a sheet of iron. That emptiness is as familiar as it is disheartening. Jhonen bore a similar emptiness, a vacancy left where his soul was not.

Alalla frowns at Zenithral's news. "Oh, Jhonen."

"Whatever Jerrod is," Al calls to Reòthadh, loud enough for others to hear, "he isn't a hero reincarnated. An undead spirit is possessing our friend Jhonen."

"I am truly a hero reincarnated! Who was it that slew Icasaracht, Reòthadh? It was not you. To whom belongs that sword you carry? It is not yours."

Jerrod slams his sword down (Reo takes 29 slashing and necrotic damage unless Shield). "You are not a worthy challenger." He slams it down again (Reo takes another 37 damage, regardless of Shield). "You are not a hero!"

Icy air errupts from Reòthadh as Jerrod swings his blade wildly, knocking some of his blows wide.

Reòthadh casts shield.

"Aihonen...? No, Aihonen kept his oaths to the bitter end, whatever abomination ye are, Aihonen yer not."

Sweeping his conjured axe low, the dwarf strikes at the hamstring of the possessed man, infusing it with explosive runes. Frost once more collects on the dwarf, glistening under his crown of light.

Reòthadh casts Booming Blade and quickens armor of agathys (8th level)

"What foul magics brought you here?"

"Foul magics?" Jerrod reaches up to seize enlarged Reòthadh’s face with one black gauntlet. For a moment Reòthadh is held fast as he feels some of his life drain away (Reo takes 18 necrotic damage, and Jerrod heals for 9). The visor comes close to issue a baleful whisper. "You don’t know the foul magics I wield, dwarf. Or the ones that I will yet use to get what I want."

Reòthadh’s icy armor once again flares to rebuff this strange barbarian lord (After resistance, Jerrod takes 22 cold damage). Jerrod hisses at the cold air. "I will end this. And you!"

"He's a fisherman from Easthaven. He travelled with us, and an accident left him without his soul. Another companion tried to help him and took him to Icasaracht's remains. Somehow he was possessed there, but he did not name himself Jerrod, then."

Alalla calls out to Reòthadh. "This spirit claimed to be Aihonen when it first took Jhonen's body, but it took him at Icasaracht's remains!"

Re: Lac Dinneshere
Horrified by what he thinks he might be fighting now, the dwarf tries to swing low to press his advantage. As he strikes, Jerrod smacks Reòthadh with the flat of his blade, mocking the old dwarf as he is knocked prone. Standing up in defiance, the giant sorcerer’s movements are quick and prove too fast for the undead possessor to react in time. Striking true, the dwarf does his best to stand tall after regaining his footing.

Reòthadh casts booming blade, fumbles, then casts booming blade as a bonus action, dealing 34 psychic and thunder damage.

"The audacity, Reòthadh, to challenge me again after all these years. And this time you have no paladin to give his life on your behalf." Jerrod reaches out to punch Reòthadh in the chest, hand glowing with terrible power. Instead of the crack of bone, there is a violent hum as several of the dwarf’s ribs turn to dust (Reo takes 67 force damage). As Reòthadh gasps and chokes, Jerrod touches something at his belt. A black spike of some sort? His wounds begin to heal (Jerrod gains 9 hp).
