Dragons come in all colours
611 AU, Steldag (1st day) in the Third Galend of Maruth (day 121 of the year, 1st day of Sword in the month of the Eagle Dragon Isles calendar)
After Cam dissappearing the PCs return to Leon. When back in Leon, Gwen speaks with Principal Baldric Hahn who then requests that she come with him and they continue on to B'ran Caradoc Welkan castle.
When the B'ran speaks it is with both interest but also to assert his position. He informs Gwen that he will only require 30% of the findings from their recent treasure but ONLY IF they provide a favour. Could they please help remove a new resident of the Jars Forest, a dragon.
Gwen immediately goes to the College of Light Library to look up any books on the subject. Only one book can be found Mulloyi’s Tome of Natural Historie and it only has a basing comment that there is a much better book to refer to but the Librarian can't remember the title of the book nor which Library and which College it was in.
Gwen then suggests they speak with Thordor and believes that she might know something. The team heads off towards Banswulfburn. Arriving in Banswulfsburn, Thordor quickly admits that she know very little about dragons but that she would love to join the team on this adventure.
The team then heads back up the road to an Inn at the cross roads of the Leon Way and the trail to Haldras, seat of the B’rant Osgar Lee. They persuade a local lad to tend to their mounts and then buy a cow from a local farmer.
Walking towards the Jars Forest with the cow our mighty adventurers eventuall encounter the local Brigands. It is a bit of an ambush situtaiton and the PCs try to convince them to join them in fighitng the Dragon. Which the Brigands decline.
The PCs continue along a stream for a while until they spot the ruins of a village at the base of a cliff and the Jars Forest. As they walk closer to the cliff they spot the Dragon. The PCs continue into the village and just as they are crossing a bridge into the ruins of the village the Dragon swoops down from the sky and takes up the cow. While retreating the Dragon invites them dinner.
The PCs continue towards the cliff and Llied leads the way climbing to the top of the cliff and helping the others make their way. Once at the top they see the mouth of the cave and carefully enter. They continue into the cave proper and see several large chambers with ledges and a very high ceiling. The Dragon begins to taunt / talk with them and eventually Gwen casts a dispell Illusions spell and the Dragon vanishes.
Now there is a blast of air, caused by the wings of the Dragon and the battle proper starts. The PCs take damage while Uoret is carefully tracking the Dragon waiting for the right moment to loose his arrow. Meanwhile Llied is caught in an awkward spot against the side of the cave and decides to climb up to a ledge above. The Dragon is casting fire and a debilitating fog of smell that interferes with most of the Parties ability to fight. Regardless Flarty and then Clodagh manage to get Critical Hits, followed by Uoret. The Dragon sensing that he had underestimated this party flies up to the ledge not realizing that Llied was their, she thrusts her magical dirk and its a Critical Hit and the dragon dies and falls to the ground, landing on both Flarty and Clodagh. They are able to get out from under the beast.
Meanwhile, Gwen begins to cut open the Dragon and is eating its heart. She begins to convulse and shake all over and at times is close to collapsing. Others are gathering up various parts of the Dragon: claws, scales, teeth. Gwen was also able to get some of its blood before in quickly decomposed.
After putting themselves back together, the PCs returned to the Inn, picked up their horses or mule and returned to Barsim to report to the Eorl what they have accomplished. As well so they did not have to pay the B'ran their 30%.
