General Summary
Runa set out to expand her queendom and summoned Grud and Duurk to clear out the neighboring hex. Arriving in Slumber, which is quite devoid of infrastructure, they met out in front of the docks. Deciding they did not need any additional gear or supplies they set out immediately.
That night while wandering through the forest they heard a scream of rage as a ghostly woman charged Duurk. Duurk and Grud flanked the woman while she let out a terrifying wail causing our ‘heroes’ to question their resolve. Fighting through the terror they laid her to rest with the steel and magic of their weapons.
Continuing on a cave was found barely visible under the dense foliage. Once inside the cave Duurk decides to run ahead to ‘scout’, while Grud tries to keep up. A list was written in blood along the walls detailing names of unknown creatures: Darian The Foolish, Garnon the Brave, Vernon the Wise. After reading several names Duurk noticed a symbol written underneath and felt an intense pain shoot through his body as he triggered a trap. Grud and his cohort Zabur grit their teeth in pain as they are affected by the magic but all three push through and resist the effects of the trap.
A pool of water is found up ahead and Runa, floating in her caldron, notices a magical aura inside. She examines the aura and identifies it’s school as abjuration. She barely warns the party before Duurk crashes into the water triggering a silent alarm. The party was unaware that this awoke the dragon in a nearby section.
The water covered the ceiling of the passageway and a potion of water breathing was offered to Duurk which he quickly accepted. Unable to swim he simply walked through the 5’ high seaweed that covered the floor. After a minute of waiting impatiently Grud decides to turn ethereal to scout and notices the exit to the water is close. He teleports the four remaining party members but miscalculates. They ended up in the water.
The air from the cavern had been burned out and an ash remained, hurting visibility. Duurk continued on without worrying about petty things like breathing. Grud held his breath while the spellcasters created an air bubble for themselves.
Another pool of water was found and Duurk ran right in staying true to character. Ahead a green dragon lay in wait which Duurk tried to fight all by himself while his party urged him to tactically retreat. Several rounds of underwater combat convinced Duurk that he was out matched so he ran to safety behind the water with a fireball hot on his heels.
Grud attempted to bait the dragon out of the water, but the beast was patient. Thinking she could simply wait for them to suffocate she bid her time. Grud, again impatient, walked towards the ledge and used a magical grappling to attach himself to her. Each attack from her was met by a counter attack from Grud, and a single round was all it took to fell the beast.
Picking her up he dragged her out of the water proudly displaying his new trophy to the party. Much was discussed on porting their new found wealth out of the cave, but bags of holding and teleportation magic proved the problem easily solved.
