Session 20

The Gang fights a dragon - Part II
The gang recuperates at Mary Mortkowna’s bed and breakfast after a brutal fight with the green dragon in Pirask.

Skarūl says goodbye to his evening fling—a weredeer named Penelope from Oberon’s village. The rest of the gang meets Skarūl in the main room and after breakfast they head to Oberon’s village to investigate the attack.

They get to the village and there’s no sign of Falgas’ parents, but also no definitive sign of what may have happened to them. There are footprints that lead to nowhere and an injured weretiger nearby who tells them about the events that transpired and gives them a magic mirror he pulled off of a gnomish individual who escaped through a portal. The gang takes the mirror and brings the injured individual back with them to the town.

They decide to go to the lake again, but this time with a plan to diplomatically handle the situation and a few additional preparations in case the negotiations go south. To prepare for the fight, they meet Cali Bonecraven—the owner of the Bone and Shield II of Pirask. She gives them a great new-customer deal on poison resistant armor. And Schmitty “borrows” a net from a local fisherman to create a trap for the dragon.

They head back to the lake and Rafa sends his familiar into the dragon’s lair. They’re noticed but the dragon doesn’t leave its lair. The group swims into the lair and finds a partially healed green dragon waiting for them. Rafa tries to speak to it, but the dragon isn’t phased and almost seems more interested in killing them after Rafa’s speech.

The rest of the gang attacks. Schmitty pulls out the net to trap the dragon. And they all bite, slash, stab, and eldritch blast their way through. Eventually, their attacks are too much for the dragon to handle—and they overwhelm it with Falgas’ killing blow.

The gang collects their treasure—and are now eagerly wondering what to spend it on...

They head back to Pirask and tell Dilly about the dragon and how they finally cleared the poison. She excitedly drinks a glass of water and thanks the group for freeing the town. But is still distraught from the news of all the missing people, her family, and Oleander’s potential involvement in the cult.

They also tell her about the mirror they found—which was originally stored and protected by Dilly and Oleander in their Archive until it was stolen. They decide to have Schmitty call in disguise. And they recognize the face of Queen Morda Caravor of Caelora—stepmother to Queen Ilyanna Caravor of Beliria. And they hear Queen Morda refer to “Mr. Oakheart” before needing end the call when Morda begins to suspect their behavior.

They head back to Orusar to rest, count their gold, and decide what to do next.

Find out what happens next with Skar-kūl and the Gang.
