As our story progresses, I'll try to keep this thread updated with recaps of each session along with relevant facts and details (NPCs, locations, events, outcomes, items, relationships, etc.).
Friendly, cheerful, and always smelling of hops, Glowkindle, owner of The Wizard's Tower Brewing Co., is a fairly young Gnome who nevertheless sports an impressive beard, as well as a white shirt and tight black trousers held up with green suspenders. Upon learning of his request for aid and offer of reward, the party helped clear out a nest of rats and a giant flame spider hiding in the ruins beneath the brewery.
Notes for next game: David took cult attire. Roc MIGHT have done so as well (check Jake's sheet). Cressida's defeat inspired choosing Champion subclass - work into storyline.
With a sickening crack, Cressida's head snaps back as she is launched several feet away from her opponent. The blued-scaled monstrosity gives another grinning sneer as he places the tip of his spear at her throat. Looking up, he addresses the assembled crowd on the keep's wall:
"This is the champion you send out to defend your town? This pitiful whelp, who could barley land a blow, is Greenest's savior? Ha! It would be beneath me to slaughter such a creature. However, I am feeling generous tonight. I will take my forces and go - your town has little left of value to us. But know this, inhabitants of Greenest; when the Dragon Queen rises, the Cult of the Dragon will no longer hide in the shadows, striking towns like yours at night. We will serve the Dragon Queen and, under her, rule all of Faerun. When that time comes, I, Langdedrosa Cyanwrath, battle champion of the Cult of the Dragon, will return to crush any who do not submit to our dominion. You have been warned."
Without another word, he turns frim the wall, gesturing to his waiting forces. With only the briefest pause to release their final prisoner, the raiders march away from the burning remains of the town.
End of Episode 3: group fought through caves from rooms 1-4, skipped 5 (mostly - thy looked by didn't like thought of "trash monsters"), hit 6, got a pet Drake in 7, scared Kobolds in 8, and found Cyanwrath in 9. Tried to fight but got their asses handed to them. After Sela and Karloth (SP? NAme? Joel's PC) got killed. Roc and Cressida survived and, with a one-on-one battle, Cressida killed Cyanwrath (barely).
