Aronin's Adventure With a Dragon

After The Outsiders traveled south from Skalnaedyr, they arrived at the edge of the Plains of Purple Dust. With the scale in hand, Aronin got the sense that they were some distance from their destination when they decided to setup camp. With a flight of fancy Aronin took Eldred's sword and lit the fire by casting Green Flame Blade around the sword; Elred retorted with a spell of his own that allowed a dragon to dance in his hands before disappearing. After another day of travel, The Outsiders were assaulted by giant lizards from beneath the sand. As the companions prove their heroism, Aronin rushed in for the final kill, splashing though the sand, and he killed it with a swipe of his Wizard's Blade eager from his well placed, previous, Fire Bolts. Upon a night of rest Aronin sees flesh eating ghouls and awakens the party, they rush to meet the beasts and quips, "hello there." Eldred swung his sword and rended chunks from the Ghoul as Aronin ran to the side and flung three magic missiles at the far ghoul. Osa's arrow then sunk into the skull of the next ghoul, ruining their attack. Eldred then flew and followed the ghouls tracks but found nothing aside from a tower to the west.
 
The Outsiders headed west intent on heading to the tower, intercepted by death dogs, Aronin leaped from his camel and fired three scorching rays at one of them. The other dog rushed Aronin and bit him with its poisonous gnaw. Osa rushed into battle and cut into the dog with a mighty blow but it dodged her second attack. Eldred hopped off his camel and slashed into the dog as Aronin's targer came and bit into Osa. Aronin fired a Witch Bolt over top of the dog before being bit near to death. Osa slayed the beast that bit Aronin and Eldred sent Aronin's original target to the hells. After Eldred bandaged Aronin, the group rested for the night and whilst Aronin felt better he, like Osa, was well aware that poison still coursed through his veins.
 
On the morning of the 9th, Osa's skin appeared infected or rotten. The Outsiders continued to ride and to the tower in the distance. The tower turned out to be a tower of the Cult of the Dragon; Sir Cronin, rider of the Wyvern Sara, showed the group to the gate whilst boasting about the cult. Taken inside a priest, Father Lorst, cured Osa and Aronin's affliction for a donation of 250 gold paid in platinum by Osa. Aronin did his best to remember the location of the tower to report back to his order. In the afternoon of the 13th they approached dunes and a bolt of lightening shot into the sky. It was a blue dragon wyrmling and a juvenile purple sand worm fighting for their lives. Osa and Eldred charged in as Aronin drew his blade and charged up around the worm. Casting Dragon's Breath on himself, Aronin blasts lightening from his mouth as Osa's sword slammed into the worm's hide and Eldred's blade slashed into the beast with a flurry of blows. Engulfed in the mouth of the worm, Eldred was taken into the worm's mouth as Aronin was hit with the worm's poisonous stinger but dodged the poison. Aronin then rapid fired his Scorching Ray at the worm killing it. As the creature burned and writhed in pain its mouth opened to reveal Eldred. Aronin was as honest as he could be about his mission and Aronin then offered aid and his camel to the dragon as food as Eldred cut the stinger off the tail of the worm. The dragon, Etephyr, agreed to follow The Outsiders back to Skalnaedyr and as per Eldred's suggestion; Aronin told the dragon everything he could about the cult and his mission on their journey back. Aronin mentioned to the dragon as they drew closer to the city that his loyalties lay first with dragons and then his order.
 
On the 21st The Outsiders arrived at the city to fanfare from both the Order and the Cult. Aronin introduced his master and the cult offered to repair the dragon's wing, Aronin suggested that the dragon choose by his own wisdom as their offer was unopposed. Etephyr ordered the cult away and choose to reside with the Order, he requested that Aronin teach him common. The Outsiders and the dragon marched into the the city to a parade.
