Session XXVIII: Going after Xilulth's lair Report

General Summary

The morning of the 1st of Octembruary. The Magnificent Misfits are sitting in the The Lame Queen Pub. Jarghull just announced his leave from the party and a discussion about the leadership arose. The party then decides to split up and spend some time in the city of chalk, not before a flash in the sky and a streak can be seen towering down from the spaceship looming above in the sky.
Jarghull arranged for transport out of Chalk. enys practiced her flying skills. Axton finished his Vulture's claw at Padi's smithy. Omaira and Filthel went for a walk in the woods. And skarsnik went to seek some time alone to process his position inside the party.

This led to enys burrowing right outside the forest and skarsnik went camping in the woods by himself. Not being able to keep watch however, skarsnik got ambushed by a duo of mindflayers, enys noticed this but didn't see her goblin friend or what was happening. But hearing his thunderstep was enough warning to fly into the village in seek for aid. Unfortunately, this resulted in panic from the villagers but got the attention of the other misfits. They quickly ran out after enys thunderclapped as well in order to assess the situation, with no sign of skarsnik they thought he was hiding, camping or robbing someplace and decided to look for him the next day.

The 2nd of Octembruary, they launched a search party for skarsnik. The MM was able to find his camping spot but no sign of him or what exactly went down last night. However somewhere in the afternoon he showed up the temple to Cybele hurt and with no recollection of what happened.

They were ready to leave however and instructed the halflings in charge of their carriages to bring them closest to the lair as instructed by Namralth, without revealing any information of course. The journey would take 8 days, they left behind Lena because she went to fix her space ship. On the fourth day (6th of Octembruary) they saw the flash again and this time the streak was visibly above Driord. Jarghull was even able to notice somethings travelling up the streak. Nevertheless they arrived at their destination on the 10th of Octembruary. Where skarsnik lead them from the fields into the forest. After 2 days of travel they found an old empty wooden hut with only a cauldron inside. Not knowing what to do with it or think of it, they carried on. And finally after 2 and a half days of finding their way to the place described to them by Namralth, they stumbled upon fog and thorns, clear sinds of a green dragon lair. Pressing on they found it's den with it's loot perfectly intact, a chest with gold in it, an old lady trapped in a cage, a couple of barrels and an unhatched green dragon egg. Approaching the den, they quickly discovered they were not alone and quickly jumped into the fight with another green dragon and it's child, a wyrmling. Fighting long and hard, both on the ground and in the air, they lost Floof to it's poisonous breath. Being outmatched by the dragon and it's lair full of vines and thorns many members of the party went down over and over with both Jarghull, Axton and Omaira. Doing their best to stabilize and heal their allies.

In the end, the green dragon and it's wyrmling are still standing. But so is the Magnificent Misfits. Who knows who will win this battle?
