Session 11: Return to Danger
General Summary
The party awoke from their rest to be greeted by Leosin Erlanthar standing at the door. He looked better after his incarceration but was limping slightly and his student Nesim stood by his side supporting him gently. After his experience in captivity, Leosin had needed several days to recover but was now mostly healthy again. He intended to immediately travel north to the town of Elturel to convey what he had learned to Ontharr Frume, a paladin of Torm who shares his concern over the Cult of the Dragon’s recent surge in activity but before he left, he had one more favour to ask of the characters:
“After all you’ve done already for me personally and for the people of Greenest, I hate to ask anything more from you. But the need is great, and I dare to hope that you can aid me one time more. I need you to return to the cultists’ camp. You know your way around it now. If the cultists are preparing to conduct another raid, or a large body of them marches away, or if anything substantial is carried into or out of that cave, I need to know. If you have a chance to get into the camp and look around again, that would be the ideal way to spot anything that's changed. “ I don’t recommend letting yourselves get captured,” he adds with a wry smile.The party reluctantly stirred themselves to prepare for further action once more as Governor Nighthill approached with rewards for the adventurers. They relayed to the Governor and Leosin everything they had found out, most of which Leosin corroborated:
- Not everyone at the camp is a full-fledged member of the cult. Many are new initiates working toward full acceptance, and many others are simple mercenaries, hired to flesh out the camp’s strength during raids or if it should come under attack.
- The kobolds are there because their worshipful attitude toward dragons makes them easy for Rezmir and other high-ranking cultists to manipulate, but they are not well liked or trusted by the other races.
- The cult has been ranging far and wide on small raids to collect treasure. Greenest was the closest target to the camp
- Prisoners are used for manual labor.
- The cave at the back of the camp is off-limits to all but those who’ve been cleared by Frulam Mondath and Rezmir. It’s known around camp as “the nursery,”
- The half-black dragon Rezmir came to the area a few months ago, and she set up the camp. Mondath handles everyday operations.
- The half-blue dragon Langdedrosa Cyanwrath is Mondath’s right hand and is seldom far from her side. He has a rigid sense of honour, but you don’t want to make him angry.
- The plunder from nearby settlements is stored in the cave. No one but Rezmir knows how much is there altogether, but it must be a big pile by now.
