In her nightmares she sees beasts, that based on their description, resemble bipedal dragons (dragonborn)</li> </ul>Things to note - 1. Loggertown would generally be the first to be hit...allowing for panic to hit the streets of Threshold once they had word of it. Makes for dramatic play - if the dragons/humanoids attack while the populace is fleeing. Pure chaos!2. Tarnskeep is where the ducal coins are being minted - this information might be revealed upon evacuation of the town - Could this cause clashes between the baron's soldiers and the local populace? Perhaps the Baron might use the treasury to slow down the enemy?   Hope some of this helps...</blockquote>
