Into the Dragons Lair

After defeating the fire turtle we decided to see if we could find and loot the Dragons lair. We put into port on a nearby island to the Volcano we believe to be the lair of the Dragon we are searching for. This is not really pirates work but if we can pull it off it should placate the crew. After all it boils down to hard coin in the end.
Kia agreed to create a magic vest for me to increase my ability to shape shift. It took several days but it is finally finished and I can not wait to try it out. Well I got to try it out and it turned out that somehow it got cursed in the process. I was stuck in animal form, not good for a ships surgeon. It took a couple of days to get the problem resolved. I have made offering to Faenir and Kia and I redid some of the magic and the curse seems to be gone along with my ability to concentrate during meditation seems to be better now too.
Wow we found two entrances to the treasure horde. We chose the base of the volcano entrance to egress the cavern. There was a number of magical defenses we had to work through but as a team we managed to get in. We only found a few guards which Beaumont, Lena and the Captain mowed down. Then I found a secret door and after a moment of contemplation I decided to open only to find three more guards which cost our crew dearly, and I feel terrible. Then we found the vault.
Kia and I decided to cast a few spells up a hallway we had not had time to explore, which turned out to be a really good decision and gave the Captain and the her helper time to open what we believe to be all of the chests. On our way out I managed to seal a door trapping our remaining pursuers on the other side. It is about time I got something right. Maybe I am growing. Now the trick will be getting back to our ship with the loot.
