Session Sixteen: Cultist, Dragons and Jail!
General Summary
The session opens with the party exiting the Crypt of Torm’s Fallen Heroes. The party notices in the eastern sky there is a silhouette of a dragon. The horizon to the east is lit up as something was on fire. The party decided to head in the direction of the dragon. As the party exits the cemetery, they witness a figure in full plate armor on back of a horse observing them. As the party gets closer to the figure, it turn and ride off.
The party travels through the woods and ends up at the source of the fire. As the party breaks through the clearing they witness the town of Greenest being attacked by a force of kobolds, mercenaries and a blue dragon with the Cult of the Dragon. The party move forward to rescue a family which is being attacked by a group of kobolds. The party attacks the kobolds and easily defeats them. The family tells the party the town is being attacked and townsfolk are being evacuated to the keep. The party tells the family they will join them after helping other townsfolk and stopping the dragon.
Cora casts several spells to enhance Nyx as Nyx hands Friac her bow to use as they set off to attack Lennithon, a blue dragon. Lennithon swoops by the party and senses the half-dragons in the party. Lennithon turns around and lands shouting she will destroy the stain of the half-breeds. The party move in and attacks Lennithon. Nyx moves in attacks with Valna as Friac flees from Lennithon based on fear. Friac retreats to a safe distance behind a building and begins to fire the bow. Lennithon unleashes its attack at Nyx, Valna and Cora but they are able to avoid its attacks. Lennithon turns to her breath weapon and unleashes it on them. After several intense moments, the party slays Lennithon. Nyx turns her attention towards the cultists attacking the keep. Nyx spots the leader of the cultist which is Langdedrosa Cyanwrath, a blue half-dragon. Nyx flies over and calls Langdedrosa Cyanwrath out.
Valna sees a group of kobolds and charges in after them as Cora and Friac move up to assist. Valna strikes down several kobolds before she is hit with a held spell by a kobold shaman. The kobolds close rank on Valna and hit her as she is unable to defend herself. Cora tries to heal Valna as Friac throws a bomb at the kobolds killing several of them. Valna is able to break the influence of the spell and attack the remaining kobolds as a drake lands and attacks Valna, Cora and Friac.
Nyx engages Langdedrosa Cyanwrath in single combat as several kobolds look on. Nyx gains the upper hand and severely injuries Langdedrosa Cyanwrath. Chaos fills the ranks of the cultist forces as Langdedrosa Cyanwrath was struck down. The kobolds descend on the fallen Langdedrosa Cyanwrath and begin to drag him away. Nyx tries to fight through the group of kobolds but more show up to defend their retreat. The drake disengages Valna, Cora and Friac as the Cult of the Dragon forces retreats. Nyx sees several of the drakes in the sky and take to the sky to fight them. Nyx catches the injured drake fighting Valna, Cora and Friac and attacks it knocking it to the ground. The other drakes witness Nyx and concentrate their breath weapons on her. In a blast of fire from the drakes, Nyx is injured and falls from the sky. Nyx’s familiar rushes to heal her as Valna and Cora race over to her. Cora helps heal Nyx as Valna watch the forces retreat out of the town.
Valna, Cora and Nyx are approached by a group of soldiers from the keep. An older human male introduces himself as Tarbaw Nighthill, the town master. Tarbaw thanks the party for helping defeat the cultist. Nyx asks Tarbaw why the cultist targeted Greenest. Tarbaw tells Nyx he is not sure as they are a mining town which supports several of the mines in the mountains. Tarbaw invites Valna, Cora and Nyx into the keep as Friac stays behind to harvest the blue dragon. Tarbaw takes Valna, Cora and Nyx down to the vault where he retrieves several gold bars to present to the party as a reward for their assistance. Nyx notices a large round gem which looks like a dragon’s eye. Nyx knows the gem as a dragon’s eye and it has magical properties which could be used in summoning a dragon. Nyx inquiries about the dragon’s eye and Tarbaw tell Nyx it was found in an old mine which was recently reopened. The dragon eye was housed here until the miners were going to decide what to do with it. Tarbaw decided to give the eye to Nyx as he feels it is too much of a danger to hold on as the eye may have been the reason for the attack.
The party thanks Tarbaw and returns to Friac where he was finishing up harvesting body parts from Lennithon. The party decided to return to Waterdeep to get a few things. The party uses the teleportation stone and returns back to the Trollskull Manor. Upon returning to the manor, Nyx decides to run a few errands to include get Lennithon’s head preserved for the manor. Valna and Cora decide to stay at the manor as Friac leaves the manor to cause some mischief.
Friac enters several of the city wards and throws carrion bait into the street causing several people to become sick from the smell. Friac decides to enter the Castle Ward and unleash one of his carrion bait. Friac throws one of the baits near a group of nobles. As he tries to escape Friac is caught by the city watch. The city watch transports Friac to the Hall of Justice to see a magistrate for a list of charges for his actions. The magistrate allows Friac to have someone argue on his behalf and Friac chooses to have Valna.
Back at the Trollskull Manor the city watch shows up with a summons for Valna. Valna returns with the city watch to the Hall of Justice where Friac was being trialed. Valna was escort to the courtroom where Friac was waiting. The magistrate reads the charges against Friac and allowed Valna to argue against finding Friac guilty. The magistrate took Valna’s argument in consideration and dropped most of the charges against Fraic and fining him 6,000 gold pieces for causing mischief. Before Valna and Friac were allowed to leave, the magistrate told Valna there was a formal complaint lodged against her and the party by the Temple of Torm and she will be held until her trial on the charges. Valna and Friac were escorted to a hold cell to await trial.
The city watch returned to the Trollskull Manor with a summons to detain the rest of the party. The staff let Cora know and the rest of the party hid from the city watch. After a short time period of time the city watch left. Cora turned to a bird to find Nyx to let her know what happened. Cora finds Nyx and Nyx decides to talk to one of her contacts to see what she could do about the charges. They determined to try to find the priest of Kelevmor to see if they will clear up the misunderstanding. When Nyx returned to the temple of Kelevmor at the Halls of Heroes, she found they were killed. Nyx brings back the bodies to see if they can have someone speak with the dead. Upon using speak with dead, Cyric channels through the body and tells them how he took care of an old nemeses and know he has the death portfolio after killing Kelevmor. Nyx dismissed Cyric as she and her contact try to figure out another way to free Valna.
