[QUOTE="The Green Hermit, post: 7890175, member: 6999735"] [U]1st day of Kythorn[/U] It was late in the day when several adventurers, Thoradin Ironfist, Criella, Andry Thorngage, and Kaya one by one stumbled upon a campsite in the middle of a forest. There they spotted an old man with canaries. After quizzing each of them on why they were wandering the wood, he gave each of the adventurers a healing potion and sent them on their way to Greenest -- which was under siege by a blue dragon and a horde of raiders. They fought their way past kobolds and humans to the keep. Three children were saved along the way, but the adventurers were unable to save their parents. Just as they entered the keep, around 11:00 p.m., the portcullis slammed shut -- barring all further entry. Upon reaching the keep, they took a short rest before recovering enough to seek out the person in charge -- a man called Governor Nighthill. The Governor asked them to go through a secret tunnel to evacuate more of the town. Unfortunately, the tunnel might have been unknown to most of the town, but the rats had not forgotten it. After an unpleasant skirmish, the adventurers eventually found themselves at an old rusty, locked gate. Before they attempted to unlock the gate (they had been given the key), Thokk, one of the famed heroes of Phandelver showed up -- possibly looking for loot more than attempting to help. For the time being, he agreed to stick with the adventurers, but nobody was sure if they could trust him. They were also joined by another fighter seeking fame and glory, a young fighter from the keep named Kung Lao -- whose eyes were unsettlingly white. Kaya unfortunately broke the key in the lock, but Thoradin was able to force the gate open. That was unfortunate in its own way, though, because the noise brought a group of raiders who ambushed the adventurers as they ventured out into the stream. It was a tough battle, but the adventurers eventually prevailed. However, they barely survived, so the group limped back to the keep to be healed by Kerri Nighthill, the governor’s lady. Hopefully others would be able to use the tunnel, because this group was too wounded. It was now 1:00 a.m. [U]2nd day of Kythorn[/U] As soon as everybody but Kung Lao was healed (he had to sleep off his injuries) everybody was summoned to the battlements, because the dragon was finally attacking. (Up until now, he had mainly been sending lightning bolts at buildings and stray townsfolk). Fortunately, Kaya and Andry both spoke draconic and were able to convince the dragon to go away. Before leaving, though, he mentioned that all the loot the raiders were collecting was going to his queen, Tiamet -- the evil goddess of the dragons, who was supposedly chained in Hell. Shortly after the dragon flew off, a half-dragon fighter challenged the keep to send out their best fighter for one-on-one combat. Thokk took up the challenge, so a few hostages were released. Thokk didn’t injure the raider in the slightest before being knocked unconscious. Healers rushed to save Thokk and all looters left as the sun rose over the horizon. Everybody went back into the keep and collapsed for a long rest. [/QUOTE]
