Session 3: The Morning After Report
General Summary
The gang investigated some, discovering a large force to the north, a massive army camped and gathering. Cudgel managed to round up the remains of the Iron Brigade, those still loyal to her, but the mercenary company is badly weakened.
In consultation with Raven uth Vogler the Mayor, Cudgel Ridomir Ironsmile and Becklin Uth Viharin the knight, the party was discussing the problems associated with trying to evacuate the town -- essentially there are twice as many people as they have boats to carry -- and then a rider from the north appeared in town, riding right into the Crab. The Rider was a messenger from the Dragon army, with orders for the town:
People of Vogler, By the orders of Belephaion, the Voice of Takhisis, you will quarter the soldiers of the invincible Red Dragon Army this night. Refuse and die. This is the Dragon Queen’s will.Shortly after the rider left the town, four dragon army soldiers armed with heavy crossbows took up position on the ridge above the town. Billy Bob Senior Junior took the form of a spider to sneak up the ridge and listen in on their conversation, and was able to determine that they were watching the town and looking for signs that the town was preparing to resist the dragon armies when they arrive. The heroes hit upon the idea of using the gnome tinker's Gnomeflinger, which is perched on the top of Thornwall tower, to drop in behind the soldiers and take them by surprise. They fight was a tough one, with Billy Bob being knocked out, but the team prevailed and the town was able to continue to prepare for the arrival of the dragon army unobserved.
