New world chapter 4: Is this war?

Just the other day I was but a simple Librarian and now all this is happening so fast... I better explain.
 
When we arrived at the keep where I sent to do some reconnaissance and I saw through his eyes the skeletal bodies of what appeared to be giants scattered around the ruined keep.
Through Mordy's eyes I saw something in one of the remaining towers waving and when he went to investigate it was a contraption built to make it look like a man waving through the window... to attract people? maybe.
As I relayed the information to my party still seeing through Mordy's eyes I caught Maple and Syrup running into the keep.
I quickly stopped what I was doing and tried to make my way to follow her as did Zuni but Reeze stopped me telling me not to risk my life for her incompetence.
I had to tell her my personal feelings though and I said "I can't let anyone else die when I could have done something to help" It was at that point she let me go.
I do not know why I said that maybe it was through guilt of surviving what happened in Waterdeep and now I feel obligated too help people survive.
I did inform her that I would need her help and I cast haste on her and we both headed in together when we were both set on by hobgoblins riding wargs.
They fired at us but with a quick shield spell and some acrobatics by Reeze they missed us and well let's just say Reeze was Reeze and took them both out my spell did not really do much damage anyway.
It was at that moment Morvius joined us and the roof of one of the towers was thrown away from it and I could not believe what I was seeing.
It was a real live Manticore I have to admit though it seem's angry we are trespassing it is amazing the tail, it's wings it is truly amazing to see something like this can fly.
Unfortunately we had to take it out.
It was at this point when Reeze said to me "Stick close to me Eryn I need you".
I have to admit that was the happiest I have felt in months it actually made me think I was needed by someone.
I never got a chance to think about what I wanted to do after I make sure Reeze and Movius were safe.
I don't even know what I want I only wanted to stay in my library and read my books but the party seem to think I can do more than that...
I'm not... It's jus-
Great well hopefully no one reads this and sees all the mistakes in my writings.
 
When the manticore was down we soon found out that a flying bugbear was heading for us.
 
As soon as I saw it I knew that this was not natural due to most bugbears lacking the intelligence to cast magic so I decided to cast a dispel magic spell negating the fly spell he had most likely ingested.
 
Though due to Reeze grappling him in the air she fell with him but I cast feather fall on her to be safe, but that was the time the bugbear decided to use fireball and take himself out and almost took out Reeze Zuni and Morvius.
 
It was at that point we found a map in the bag that Reeze managed to snatch off the bugbear and we found the plans for the hobgoblin army at Skull Gorge.
 
They were a few days away from starting their march too Drellins Ferry, I immediately wrote a message and made a copy of the map and sent Mordy to Drellins Ferry's guard captain after giving Mordy some motivation.
 
We spent the rest of the day searching for the treasure and found some very useful magic items that will assist us.
 
However I was not prepared mentally for the plan that was about to go ahead, we were going to destroy the bridge that the dragon was at.
 
Now I admire dragons they have a ferocity that deserves a lot of respect but being asked to destroy a dragons bridge and possibly fight the dragon I can't do this.
 
Cyrus could have done it he was a better Wizard than me if only he were here right now he would be a better asset to the party rather than a amateur wizard like me.
 
But Reeze says she needs my help I can't let her down, But can I even help this is a dragon we are talking about it's huge I don't think any of my spells could even work against a dragon other than to annoy it.
 
We are heading towards Skull gorge right now and I am getting incredibly nervous.
 
I hope I will be able to write in this journal again.
 
Was that the sound of drums?
