A Ruler of Flames

Since we recently, through a grave overestimation of our own capabilities, put ourselves in serious danger this entry might be drained some from the spirit that I usually carry in my writing. I hope anyone reading might find it in their heart to ignore this.
As we were walking down the pass to visit Dwimakna our mission caught up with us. We happened upon a Minotaur guarding the roads, warning us not to continue. The beasts in the area had been acting up recently and were attacking any travellers they could find unprovoked. Discussing our situation for a while he decided that we could stay with him for a while, until time came that we could safely pass towards the city.

Only a few days later as we walked through the pass, it would seem that the roads were still not all that safe. We stumbled upon a caravan being ravaged by a wyvern, with only a lone survivor standing up against the threat, the elf woman Velara. After ending the murderous lizard, we decided to travel together for the rest of the duration to Dwimakna. In the city we heard of many cases similar to the ones of Velara. The temple was packed of people in need of healing and the head-priestess, Leah, told us that one of the wounded had seen some strange activity by a waterfall outside of the city. Men in robes, much like the cultists had been spotted sneaking around up there. Unknowing as we were we naturally headed there to investigate and while calmly talking to one another, a giant black dragon had snuck up on us and showered us in its necrotic breath, knocking me of my feet and all but me and Omen unconscious. Hastily I resuscitated Eldon with a healing potion and the man in turn got the entire party back to life with one of his spells. Nitt then banished the beast and gave us much needed time to hide away in a nearby cave, as we narrowly escaped the ambush with our lives intact. We are now bound for Velamon to let Cathrine submit some scientific results to the academy.
