Session 2: The Rise of Tiamat Report

General Summary

While resting a green dragon born named Balazar approached the party. Gomm recalled him from a dream he had while he was resting; however, Balazar and Abnor's memories were still fuzzy even though they had a good feeling about the dragonborn. Asking him to accompany them they continued into the dragon's gorge where they came face-to-face with the gentleman from the tavern that sent them on this small quest. Tossing a bag of gold towards them, he told them that their adventure was over and could go back to town. The party did not take too kindly to this and decided that something was off about this and decided to ask questions with their fists. As the battle started, a large gate covered something hidden within the cavern that yelled out in draconic quite a few colorful sayings and it was easy to tell that whatever was in there had been captured. Abnor attempted to free whatever was in there with a firebolt; however, his precision proved too much and the bolt reflected off one of the metal housings for the bar and landed in front of Gunthar setting the grass in front of him ablaze. Balazar was able to free the large, half dragon creature from within who immediately began stalking his prey. As the party battled fiercely, this half dragon beast melted one of the bandits there and made cross sections of the priest. Once the battle was over, the creature nodded to his "half brother" Balazar and left, heading back to his home. After resting and acquiring some fancy loot the group noticed a large cave in the shape of a dragon with giant rubies for eyes. Shrumbo easily dispatched the rubies and the group entered into the cave. Upon entering the cave, the party come's across various writings and phases along with a group of kobolds. Moving into position Balazar sets off a trap where rocks and debris tumble on top of him. Taking damage the dragon born stood strong and simply took it remaining standing like a stone statue. The battle begins and after taking down several in an instant, the remaining beg for their life to Abnor. Giving him the location of the key, Abnor lets them escape out of the cave with their lives. Gomm, who decides to investigate the large statue where they said to go, ends up setting off a fire trap. Abnor knocks over the statue and they find the key to the large iron doors and move through it into the main part of the cave. Within it there are kobolds mining for various precious gems and gold. They even noticed a hand made plaque regaling of their favorite local potion dealer's exploits in this very cave. Moving through the cave they come across more kobolds including a nest that Abnor notices and chooses to ignore. Moving through the corridor down into a large room filled with treasure Gomm begins grabbing and pocketing stuff only to come face to face with a red dragon wyrmling. Abnor attempted to bargain and persuade with it and it was willing to make a decent offer for the goblin's hand or foot, but the party wouldn't hear of it. After some lightly banter to attempt to feed the wyrmling's ego the party realized that they were not going to get anywhere for the goblin's mistake. The battle began and even with fiery breath and claws coming their way they were able to dispatch of the wyrmling and looted its treasure. Taking a short rest, the group will now decide to explore the rest of the gave or leave and seek out the female half orc that sent them on this half baked adventure.
