Last time, we left our player characters
(the PC:s) in the middle of the first
episode. They had arrived in a beleagured Greenest, vowed to help the
townsfolk, found an old tunnel under the keep and saved some villagers from
being burned alive inside the temple of Chauntea. The night had more in store
for them, though, as this action-packed episode continued.
The Dragon Attack
While the rain kept falling, the
PC:s stealthily arrived at the keep and
returned the saved villagers to the courtyard. Governor Nighthill was suitably
pleased, but regretted that he couldn't offer any rewards until the night was over
and the damages could be calculated. The PC:s managed to trick an unwilling
Escobert into providing his own healing potions, however.
Suddenly, explosion-like loud noises
erupted from the parapet. The party headed up the ladder to find several guards
under attack by the large blue dragon himself! Groups of guards fell to a
single lightning blast as the azure reptile swooped by. They soon realised that
they couldn't do much about the situation, although Kerr had to be talked into
not jumping onto the dragon mid-flight.
Back in the safety of Nighthills
headquarters, the PC:s learned that the local mill was under attack by invaders
in dark cloaks. Through a spying glass, they also spotted the invader leaders
on the town square; a large half-dragon and an armored woman seemed to be in
charge of the looting operations. Governor Nighthill was also very interested
in securing a prisoner to be interrogated once the PC:s made it back.
