Session 31: A Gathering of Winds
General Summary
The Vandals of Fate gather into their wagon so they can pass through the portal that Fedi Kita makes. This portal takes our Ratcatchers to Cragmire. As they enter upon the town's main square they find part of the town in ruins. Buildings have all but been crushed while some have almost been melted. There are dead being tended to in the main square. Each of them have signs of chemical burns. Fedi finds a local who doesn't appear to be busy and asks what happened. Three nights ago a Dragon attacked the town and killed a bunch of citizens. The Dragon was looking for Allustan which the townsfolk of Cragmire said he should be at The Whispering Cairn. Our Ratcatcher quickly decide they must go after the Dragon and save Allustan, they can only hope he is still alive. As they are getting ready to leave the Ratcatchers are approached by the local guard. They quickly assume our Ratcatchers are off to slay the foul beast that destroyed parts of the town. They tell the Ratcatchers that it is a black Dragon roughly 30 meters in length and that it breathes acid. Classic signs of an adult black Dragon.
The Ratcatchers quickly arrive at The Whispering Cairn that is located just four hours outside of the town, they find the area showing signs of a battle with trees uprooted and burn marks amongst the grass. As they approach the entrance the Ratcatchers hear the flapping of wings and as quickly as they hear it a Black Dragon shows itself perched atop of the hill the Cairn sits on. The Dragon Illthane quickly tells our Ratcatchers that they are on her kill list and attacks them. The Dragon proves to be a tough opponent with hide thick enough it is able to ignore most attacks our Ratcatchers throw at her. The battle is quickly settled though and Koris deals a finishing blow upon her head. The group gathers and decides to enter The Whispering Cairn in search of Allustan.
Inside they find that Allustan has excavated the collapsed tunnel that was here previously. The Ratcatchers begin making their way to a giant door that sits at the end of this passage. Investigating they are attacks by a creature that lurks within the door itself. Whenever one of our Ratcatchers touch the door claws come flying out and attack. Koris's armour ignores the strike but Fedi is badly wounded from the attack. The Ratcatchers quickly kill the creature and once they do they are able to step through the door that does not act like a normal door but instead like a thick pudding like substance that leaves no traces upon the Ratcatchers armor or clothing. They find themselves on the other side in a small hallway of screaming wind and smoke. As they begin to push forward they are attacked by creatures within the smoke. Quickly our Ratcatchers manage to slay the creatures. Now they must push forward, either Allustan is further in the dungeon. Or he is dead. Hopefully he is still alive.
