For the past several days, you have all been traveling with a trading caravan through the rolling grasslands of the Greenfields. Sundown is approaching when you top a rise and see the town of Greenest just a few short miles away. But instead of the pleasant, welcoming town you expected, you see columns of black smoke rising from burning buildings, running figures that are little more than dots at this distance, and a dark, winged shape wheeling low over the keep that rises above the center of the town. Greenest is being attacked by a dragon!
Raigu draws his flail without hesitation and follows Sam. Raigu's skin tone is a burnt red, and his eyes burn with an inner fire. He wears the traditional armor of the samurai, and a sturdy bamboo shield painted with the image of a setting sun is slung across his back. "To arms, friends!" He shouts. "Glory to the victorious, death to the vanquished!"
Dretch just curses as he sees the dragon. "Damned creatures don't do anything but destroy and terrorize." He readies his quarterstaff, faint green light glowing around him as he readies to help the town of Greenest.
Dretch is slightly leaner than your average dragonborn. Whilst an observer can tell that he is getting old, his actual age is quite hard to pin point from his bearing but he speaks like he has several decades under his belt. Wearing wearing leather armor that is well worn and carrying a quarterstaff with vines wrapped around it. If an observer was to see him out of the corner of their eye they could swear they see faint green lights dancing around him, taking the shape of various animals but whenever you turn your full attention on him, they disappear. His green eyes show both a depth of knowledge and experience but also evidence of a dark past. (Heart of Darkness)
Zack had been riding in the carriage with the most of the 'party,' Smiling, and talking with a lighthearted tinge as they rode along. Zack gave off a hopeful impression, and a warm smile in all his actions, shaking hands and greeting everyone around him. Nice to meet you all! My name's Zack! Zack Fair! his eyes closing, and his smile brightening even more, hiding his almost shining-blue eyes, and accentuating a criss-crossed scar on his left cheek. His armor seemed simple, but efficient. Covering his chainmail was a turtle-necked vest. His shouldres covered by rounded pauldrons, connected by leather straps and latches, to the armored-belt at his waist. Similarly, his leggings were covered by simple jeans, Aside from his shoulders and abdomen, he would look quite unarmored. His arms bare, revealing lean, toned muscle, his hands covered in black leather gloves. A great-sword that seemed all too large, yet he wielded with relative ease. The sword itself was simple in design, large, flat, and black, shaped very similarly to a Razor, with two moderately large holes near the base, the sword itself was a hand-guard, with a false-golden trim where the blade became the handle.
As he spoke to everyone, they would feel a little lighter, a little more prepared for whatever may come as his optimism rubbed off on them. Though whenever his eyes glanced over Nadia, he would get the weirdest feeling he'd met her somewhere before but couldn't quite place it....
IF the DM will allow this....

In the present
Zack had finally just settle down into his seat, Holding his sword in front of him as it wouldn't fit otherwise inside the confines the the wagon, sighing happily. Glad to finally be free of his pursuers, for now at-least. But just as he'd settled in, he noticed the others seeming alarmed, so he started to look around, then noticing what the others had noticed before him. Another sigh, accompanied by a wry smile The price of freedom sure is steep.... he said to himself, as he hefted his large sword in both hands, hopping off the wagon himself.
((Are there any horses not attached to carriages? or can I hop on one and attempt to cut the straps holding it to use as a mount i can uh.. 'borrow'?))
Nadia did her best to integrate herself within the ragtag group she's found herself in, soon admitting to herself that this was much better than travelling alone looking for work. Despite her skill in using a bow and sneaking about, the elf was always the chattier type, enjoying a good conversation with those around her and making quick friends and useful allies for any occasion she may need them for. However, sitting in the wagon she's found herself silent, chocolate colored eyes glancing over to the man who introduced himself as Zack Fair. The first time the ranger laid eyes on him, it sparked a memory at the back of her brain, a memory that she believed was long lost in the depths of her mind. She knew him, but for some reason, he didn't seem like he remembered her at all.
Maybe you just weren't too memorable. She would think, but just before she could dwell on it any further some of her comrades had leapt out of the cart for what seemed to be no reason. The elf quickly peeked over the wagon to see the sight that caused panic and her eyes went wide. "Ah, ****." Was all that she said as she also hopped off the cart and followed behind her team, longbow in hand.
And here is what Nadi looks like!

No! Not again!Kleeak stands up and shows off his wings, colored black and white (like a penguin!) as he flies upwards into the sky. His scars are shown in the light of the fires and the sun, looking as if they have been burnt and cauterized several times. There must be something to put this out!he says as he searches from above.
perception (to see where the fires are and any sources of material to put them out):14
As they are getting ready to help the village, Dretch will collect three rocks off the ground. Holding them in his claws he closes his eyes for a few seconds. Their is a faint smell of wildflowers as he opens his eyes and passes the rocks to the three companions closest to him that are wielding melee weapons. "As the dragon is flying, these may help. My best estimate they have a range of 60 ft. Just throw them at your target."
"Arigatou. " Raigu says in gratitude, momentarily reverting to his native tongue. He weighs the stone in the palm of his hand and eyes the distance to the dragon circling overhead.
The sun has set by the time you reach the eastern edge of Greenest. Smoke fills the sky from the fires around town. From what you can tell, the buildings have not caught fire, simply piles of hay and debris.
Without warning, five humans dash out from between two buildings on your left.A limping man and three young children race across the street into more shadows, and a woman carrying a round shield and a broken spear turns and faces back in the direction from which they came. Eight kobolds stream out of the alley on the family’s heels and fan out around the woman, who looks determined to delay the creatures for as long as possible.
How would you like to proceed?
(everyone add +4 temp hp from Zack I do have a battle map I can provide if it is fighting that you want.)
Raigu growls in rage, the dragon momentarily forgotten. Singing a battle song in his native tongue, he hurls himself into the thick of the kobolds. "A coward dies a coward's death!"
(Raigu will be yelling out cheesy action movie one-liners like that for the duration of the campaign.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Eying the kobolds preying on the villagers, he curses in Draconic. "Good for nothing Kobolds. Always finding a way to be a nuisance." he looks around the ground picking up another 3 rocks.
Initiative: 7
Seeing Raigu throw himself into the fight, Dretch chuckles. "Yeap. He's definitely a Red."
___________________________
On his turn, Dretch will close his eyes, concentrating on the rocks in his hand, the faint smell wildflowers permeating the air again. He will open his eyes, spot one of the Kobolds and lob a rock at it.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Zack rushes to the front of the carriage, hopping onto one of the strapped horses. Looking towards the driver, he would flash a smile Sorry, but this is kind of an emergency! Gonna borrow these for a little bit! (Animal Handling: 14) The horses however seem to be too frightened to allow him on or even near them... Or not... he says, cursing the luck, before Dashing towards where he thought the family of five would be heading to.
As he neared the spot, sword still in hand, he looked around to see if he could spot them, or any trace of them. (Investigation: 18)
Regardless of whether he spots them or not, he would shout to the others Help that woman against the Kobolds, I'll find the others.. or at-least I'll try to!
If my character see's the family of 5 he will rush to them, to guard their retreat, and tell them to run to the caravan.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Waking up finally from all the comotion....."hey.....where did .." and looking out on Greenest seeing the dragon flying overhead and his traveling companions charging off into towards the city. Ashi get off the cart and dashes after everyone yelling " Really ..Really ...sure let's just run towards a dragon!". Knowing Ashi's personality only the little while you have know him he is definitely not the fighter type.
Kelvin comes huffing and puffing up behind the rest, completely winded, "Am I the only one who things running toward the town being attacked by a dragon is insane?!"

Characters:

"Have you no wish to drink of the cup of glory?" Raigu yells to Ashi and Kelvin as he cuts a swathe through the kobold pack. "Have you no conception of honor or duty?" The thought that anybody would be hesitant to enter a battle is incomprehensible to Raigu.
Ashi yells back to Raigu trying to catch up with the group breathing heavily "NO no I don't ...and neither ...life like I like life" but even as he shout this he continues to charge forward with the group.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Nadia had to take a second to second guess why she was even in this group, seeing one of the members going in on a bunch of kobolds, the other scaring off some horses, and one not wanting to fight to save some innocent people's lives. "Todos los hombres son idiotas..." She mutters to herself, readying her bow at the first enemy spotted.

Zack shouts back as he continues to search You're right! this may be dangerous! But you can't just abandon people in need when you have the power to do something about it! He nodded, not that any of them would see it as he continued to search for the family. Suddenly an idea comes to him, and he shakes his head, facepalming himself as he can't believe he didn't think of it sooner Augh... he grunts, then shouts We're allies! We came in from a Caravan nearby! We're her to help! Come to me! (Persuasion: 18)
His call intended for the 5 people fleeing.
Zack then Readyies an attack, if something he can see tries to attack him.
Will set up to start this weekend
