He went into a Temple of Tiamat located who knows where on the planet. At first the PCs were dismayed over the unfairness of the situation until the rogue looked at the Cohort's corpse and observed that they have a priest to run to, the Taskmaster apparently does as well.It also meant that this would be far from over. There were 4 other portals in this room. But, the PCs appetite for stepping through random portals had been more than sated. The only other portal they cared about was the lone portal in another room from wence the Taskmaster came from to arrive at the lair. That portal ended up back at the now abandoned stadium in an office. With riots still going on, the stadium smelled like bodies as it had been a few days since the revolt started and no one had picked up the decaying dead. So, it appeared after the hatchery battle, the taskmaster teleported mortally wounded to this hidden office in the stadium. From there, took a gate back to the lair and then another gate to a Temple of Tiamat who knows where. It made sense to the PCs since the lair also restricted teleportation by dragons, the only way into the lair was that way or through the druid's grove. If really hurt, the portal would have been faster. What to tell the Patron? The truth. Of course, nothing about the hoard. The PCs felt they earned it and would be back to collect the rest. A scroll was unfurled and the familiar halls of the Flame Tower came into vision. The Cohort was placed on the ground and another scroll used to teleport the corse to the Temple of Magic. The rogue let out a sigh, feeling sorry for his friend. They would rest well, with the exception of the Archer who had visions of the Earthborn.</blockquote>
