[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 6858185, member: 6803337"] Kicking around an idea: My group cleared out the Green Dragon Lair except for the dragon, then took a Long Rest. (The group is on hiatus while I work a seasonal job.) They interrogated and executed - because I wasn't prepared with answers - the Dragon Rider just before stopping. When we resume, I'm not sure what to do. 1) Rewind to "you arrive outside the cave where the Green Dragon and his Rider lurk" 2) Figure out what the Dragon will do while they sleep all day - probably set up a TPK using "the Classic Cult is a criminal ring" assets 3) Let the group fight the Dragon by his lonesome then leave, probably in triumph Preferences? Thoughts? Assume they get out alive, the Rider is still dead, and they report back to the Council. I am really tempted to build up the scene where they report the slaying of the Green Wyrmspeaker. (The group learned that much before killing him.) When they slew Arauthator, they put his head in a Bag of Holding. I expect them to do the same for the Green Dragon Rider. I also expect them to hold up HIS head for the council to observe, too. The dwarves begin to sing a victory anthem, the humans rise for a standing O, the Silverymoon elves show grateful recognition ... but the King of the Forest Elves turns pale white and staggers over to the nearest railing, mouthing words that cannot be heard over the noise. He keels over and slumps into a chair as the sounds of victory are replaced by confusion and concern. In a sudden silent moment he can be heard gasping "Neronvain, my son, my son..." (Copied from the Bible, King David hears of the death of his rebelling / usurping son Absalom.) Cue doctors / sages / wizards / &c. He dies of heart failure (truly a broken heart) a few days later, so the Elves' seat is soon taken by his other son and heir. This Elven King has the sudden personality transformation described in the adventure, but he also resents the PCs for killing his father with "a poisoned spear launched straight to his heart."
