What Happened

As soon as the dragon appeared, the party got into high gear, with Gúrda and Daz hiding out of its view and firing off spells while Melé and Geort hacked and bashed it to pieces. It was a long fight and all four adventurers had a rather rough go of the encounter, but they were victorious in the end. They collected the dragon's treasure and began to search for some way to discover the location of the cultists. Finding nothing apart from some shredded orange and brown robes, they then, with Darin's help, found a way back to the surface, discovering a disused mineshaft in the process.
After their adventure in the mines, the four adventurers travelled back into town, where Geort went to the Temple of Kiral while the other three went to Gersla's Magical Wares, owned by Gersla Prakklar, to identify a healing potion that they had found among the dragon's small pile of treasure. Geort met Élen, the local priestess and prayed there for a time. The others, talking with Gersla, discovered that she had a lot of magical expertise and sold magical items, although the cost of these items was far more than they could hope to pay for.
Daz then led the search for the cultists, and, hearing from a clothier that four figures in long robes had been seen leaving the Inn of the Broken Sword about a week ago, went toward that establishment. Inside, the four adventurers came upon the three cultists and quickly discovered their secret. After a short battle, the party was forced to repair some damage to the inn and they collected the bounty on the Dragon Heretics. At that point they returned to Freebrook, their mission complete for the time being.
