Session 25 & 26 Report

General Summary

After the ritual to cleanse themselves of Lycanthropy, the party set out into the mountains to deal with the supposed dragon and the Kobolds. After a quick search, they found two entrances, a large opening in a cliffside of the mountain and another, a much more narrow approach. They chose the latter and quickly dismanteled the Kobold ambush and traps within, taking the time to try and skin a Kobold and then wear its hide as a disguise. This did not work as well as they had hoped, however as a Kobold skinsuit is not particularly convincing.
They pressed on further into the lair, dismantling traps, making maps and killing Kobold ambushers along the way. In this time, Rho also managed to find an alchemy lab, which promptly got blown up by the rather suicidal Kobold alchemist inside.
After some spelunking, the party found a study which was inhabited by two dragonborn, a Red mage and a Brass warrior, that tried to get away, and almost managed to do so. After some combat in the confines of the lair, Rho managed to catch up to the fleeing mage and killed him. The party discovered some interesting facts among the papers carried by him. Apparently, the Dragonborn Empire has been hiding dragon eggs underneath and near Imperial cities and then wait for them to hatch, so that when the dragons grow full sized, they will wreak havoc in the cities above, leaving them open to attack. There is also one such dragon in the sewers of Rannalla, which by this time should be a nice sized lizard.
Speaking of lizards, the party also found a map of the Kobold lair, from which they garnered that the other entrance they saw was guarded by a Wyvern, a Dragon-like creature of lesser intelligence. The party headed towards the other side of the lair, dismantling more traps and Kobolds in their way, eventually reaching the large cliffside cavern, holding the Dragon.
They chose to try and capture or somehow domesticate the beast, as it was apparently being kept by the Kobolds/Dragonborn. The kobolds around the Wyvern were dealt with quickly, but Rho decided to ride the beast and bring it to heel that way. He drove it back towards the cave where it was then calmed down by a spell cast by Grohim. Suddenly being masters in handling wild beasts, the party calmed the creature and fed it, after which it showed no interest in attacking them. They decided that the beast could be best kept in the Menagerie in Hindarskjall, where it  could be taken care of until they had further need of it. They contacted Jarl Hindar and headed  off towards the city in the west.
