Here be Dragons

The opening adventure of the first campaign. The Crew learns of a Dragon's roost in a nearby town and goes to investigate. They end up with a hatchling dragon on their hands and a lot of questions.  

The Story so Far

001

In the opening session, the Silicon Dragons receive information from Uncle Frankie about a dragon hunt in the mountains. A potential client offers payment if they can locate the dragon's lair before the hunters do. As they journey into the mountains, they encounter a forest fire and a mysterious girl who leads them to her cabin. Investigating the cabin, they discover a tunnel that takes them to a cavern deep in the mountains. Inside, they find a hatchling dragon and two eggs in a hot spring. A gunfight with soldiers in the cavern leads to the reveal that the girl is a dragon herself, capable of breathing fire.  

002

Trapped in the dragon's lair as the mountain erupts, the Silicon Dragons must navigate the collapsing tunnel and venture deeper into the mountain. They stumble upon a chamber where they encounter soldiers wearing red armbands with crosses, led by a massive armored figure. The eruption seems to be triggered by the death of a red dragon in the chamber. Another group of black-clad mercenaries arrives, leading to a battle between the two groups. Amid the chaos, the group escapes up a rockslide while the Grey Knight battles the mercenaries. They make it back to Cedar Ridge as the town faces destruction from the eruption.  

003

Returning from the mountains, the Silicon Dragons attempt to sneak Rosabelle, who is in dragon form, into Salty's. With Artemis's illusion magic, they convince the crowd that Rosabelle is an animatronic toy. They arrange a meeting with the Johnson who hired them to retrieve the dragon egg. To deceive the Johnson, they rebuild the egg with parts recovered from the nest and an illusion spell from Artemis. During the meeting at an abandoned warehouse, they use their disguises to convince the Johnson that the egg is genuine. Despite the tension, the deal appears to conclude successfully.
