Wednesday Session 7: A black dragon in disguise
Tempusember 1st, 1083
The group are standing outside of the mirror portal and see Asharene Shadowthorn running as she is chased by Gargoyle Dogs. She leaps through just in time, but not after taking a significant amount of damage. The dragon fairies close them mirror slicing in half the Garoyle Dog. We all get a long rest. For Quarter Master, we've only been gone for a few minutes. For us, it's been about a year. Elias Hoccleve overhears Corinna Blackwood talking that a crime lord named Terran Sozay, the one who plagued Eldoria for years, and also owns his mother's debt. However, Sozay has been dead for 10 years. However, some guy named Barret has been collecting from Elias for years. Elias has never met Barret, but only ever heard his voice. Blackwood also tells us that the towns people are calling us The Cultbreakers and we are a bit of local heroes. She says that she and her people can take care of these people scamming Elias. Elias has reservations, because there seem to be a lot of people in this operation. He's worried his mom can't be protected. Elias wants to figure out another way to deal with them. Blackwood and Quartermaster invite Angst to Eldoria to study with them and increase his knowledge, skills, and status. Around this time, Ashe brings up that the Hags told her that Morpheus Nightwood is still alive. This really upsets Captain Blackwood and She, QM, and Franz cannot believe this. Elias goes to free Toadvine from jail as he promised before we went to the Feywild. However, QM won't agree to this, and suggests that he talk to Blackwood about it, but wait for her to calm down. Elias goes to try and talk to Louis Toadmine to let him know, and they have a really awkward exchange, because Elias won't get the keys for him, but promises to help him escape. Joe needs to get some enchanted bone runes. Ash helps harvest bones from the Yethhound, and goes with Franz and Joe to the occult shop called Esoterica. Elias and Angst head to the Tavern to get Blackwood drunk so he can talk to her about releasing Toadvine. We agree to rendezvous at the tavern later. Joe acquires a book of the stars from the store keep at Esoterica and the woman agrees to make her runes out of the bones we brought. Franz purchases a fortune scroll that warns him not to eat dairy today. Meanwhile, in the bar, Angst asks for milk and a muffin and Esmeralda the barkeep gives him a hilariously hard time about it, mockingly calling him "Cultbreaker" Elias approaches Blackwood and buys her a drink. He charms her with his polite and quiet ways relating to her and understanding how she may not want to talk about how she feels. However, she does open a up a bit to him. They agree that they both carry their history with them, and perhaps both of them could learn how to look ahead, and allow the people in their lives to actually help them. He also assures her that Ash wouldn't lie, even if the hags may have lied. She opens up to him about Eldoria. She is surrounded by Sycophants there, and she appreciates Elias's honesty in despite her knowing he also has a favor. She figures out that Elias wants Toadvine to be released. She agrees to do this for him and he is taken back a bit at how much she is willing to bend the rules for the betterment of things. She tells Elias that he can have Toadmine sign documents to make himself an informant and he can be released. She opens up ever so slightly about Morpheus Nightwood, telling Elias that he reminds her of Morpheus with his silver tongue. Meanwhile Esmeralda and Angst talk. They talk about Magdalena , and she tells him he's not good enough for Maggie. JOe and Ash talk about how they could try to stake out the next drop point and find the leader of the scammers scamming Elias. Blackwood give Elias her extra room key just in case he wants to come visit. He takes the key, but does not go visit her. We tell Elias about our plan to try and locate the people taking his money. Ash and Joe will turn into animals and leave a trail for Angst and Franz to follow. Jo picks up her runes from the occult shop and uses them to see how a certain event or task we want to do will play out. We learn if we are successful, we will gain information about Elias's situation. Elias drops off the money and then hides behind a tree. HOwever, a guy named Dereck shows up and calls him out. Elias seeks Ash's help with a magical message and in her squirrel form she runs up Derek's pants leg and bites him giving Elias a chance to knock Dereck out. We hear a voice from the cave that says "Dereck, bring me the money" Meanwhile. Angst and Franz discuss how to tell if a girl likes you or not. They hear our signal and head over. The voice from the cave recognizes Elias as he approaches. They speak and Elias lures him out. Before he can come out, Ash, in her squiriel form goes in the cave and sees that it is a Black Dragon in there. She runs out and reverts back to her self and warns the group. The dragon offers to give Elias Dereck's job if he brings Dereck's head to him. Elias basically tells him to fuck off, throws up a silent wall of stone and shouts to everyone to "RUN!" Angst and Elias talk telepathically and consider Elias bringing the dragon Dereck's head just for now that maybe we can escape alive. Elias gives us all a look and we approve that we will follow his lead. Elias kills Dereck and takes his head off. He throws the head to the Dragons feet and makes a fake deal with the dragon to report every 2 weeks to find out who needs to be shaken down for money. The dragon also says that he needs one of our heads as collateral. Elias does not give in to this and he stands in a fighting stance. We start to fight. Magdelina starts running from behind shouting that she is here to help. As we try to lure the dragon into the cave to fight, he goes after Magdelina and picks her up and takes her 130 ft into the air and drops her. Elias uses shape water to try and soften Magdelina's fall. He then causes a cave in of the cave trapping all the treasure inside. WE continue to fight the dragon doing enough damage to make him flee from us. Franz throws an ice knife at him in an attempt to stop him, but he bolts up straight into the sky. Jo is able to cast one final guiding bolt and takes him out and he falls down to his death. Jo mold's earth the cave in pile away and we check the treasure pile out in the cave. There is likely somewhere between 7 and 8k gold pieces. Jo fines a ledger that has everyone's debt listed on it. This dragon seems to have weasled his way into tricking people into collecting debt from people. Elias finds a broom of flying. Angst finds a +1 shield. We take the dragon head and some other parts. We make note of the treasure (below) We are also now known as the DragonSlayers as well as the Cultbreakers now. Angst heads to Eldoria with Blackwood to study. We all get invited to a The council member meeting, and this is where we end.
