This entire campaign, all 2 years of it, has been SKT lol. We've had several derailments and some short arcs around character back story that weren't directly tied to the main plot line but got tied in as we went, so its taken awhile. >!That and they've destroyed or captured 3 of the Giant Lords strongholds a long the way!<.

As for the lairs, I have spots within the overall city where their hoards are hidden that were not within the battle map, but I've treated the entire city as their joint lair. As for specific maps, we play in person, so physical maps are kind of a must for us until I can finally break down and come up with a rig to project a map down on the table(*fingers crossed* some day...). >!The full blue dragon's lair is within one of the ancient dwarven stone ships of Ascore while the shadow dragon hybrid is within a buried pyramid where it found a "leaky" portal to the Shadowfel(check out Ascore's old ties to the Netherese, some really intersting stuff to toy with there) and hence has been absorbing shadow energy from it for quite some time. !< I'll actually be coming up with maps for those this week before our next session in case they are now relevant.

As for the map used in the above description, I found this on amazon which I used the ravine side for the entrance to the tunnel(where they had a brief encounter with one of the dragons, which I had modded with a custom shadow dragon template, during their night time venture into the area) and the other side is part of the area they came out to butted up against a blank grid map with these placed around it for architecture remains and such. This being the end result.

>!I have played out I******* as essentially having agents keeping an eye on everything via her gargoyles, some of which I have suped up into "lieutenants" of sorts of hers, so she is well aware of events happening there, may even wind up attempting to intervene to help one or both of her children to escape. She shares no explicit love for them but knowing that her enemies are at hand, she would absolutely get them to help her eradicate the party. Honestly, both dragons were pretty severely damaged by the end of it as well(although everyone is getting long rests as of the end of the session), but if the group can get the drop on just one and keep it contained, they'll dismember it pretty quickly. But if one or both get away(because they will absolutely go for self preservation over worries of their hoard), you best believe they will be bee lining to their mother and have vengeance on the mind. !<

Edit: Of and as for the final conflict in >!Ascore !< they have already opted for a long rest of their own, so both they and the dragons will be fresh come morning. Not sure how quickly they'll rush a long to the true final conflict with I****** from here. Guessing they will be at very least looking to restock on healing potions and utility potions they've come to keep around when they can be found. They downed 4 regular healing potions, a superior and the first use of a supreme healing potion the campaign has seen in the fight depicted above. Suffice it to say they don't have much left on them atm.
