Zale's head whips around, then down to look at Eek. She fixes him with her blue stare. Pain and anger clear in her eyes. Ignoring the fact that he still called her Queen, she growls, "Lenny? His name be Lenny?! You knew him well enough to learn his name?!" Dropping the bow and arrows she suddenly grabs the Kobold and picks him up of the ground. She brings his face close to hers and stares him in the eyes. "Do you know where his lair is?"

(This would be a good opportunity for kiss of congratulations…lol)
Eek... Eek's not sure! Dragon has difficult name! Eek thinks it was Lenny or Leon or something! Eek doesn't know lair, but Eek knows it's loyal to the Cult!
Since the threat is gone, Escobert allows the governor back on the parapet. Eek agrees with Kriv and together they make their way to the both of them. With a hint of disbelief in his voice, Escobert asks: How did you manage to scare away an Adult Blue Dragon?
“Well, we made a few well placed shots and I guess it was enough to make the dragon lose interest. We wanted to if you’ve gotten any information from the captive we brought.”
Quite a lot actually! Governor Nighthill tells you. Most of the raiders are just mercenaries or bandits; they have no special loyalty to the Cult of the Dragon. One of them reveaedl that they’ve been raiding communities around the Greenfields for loot, and they’ve heard rumors in the camp about dragon eggs. The Acolyte was more... tight-lipped. I was a difficult process to exctract information from him. However, thanks to Escobert we've learned that they are indeed members of the Cult of the Dragon and that they are collecting loot “for the great hoard that will usher in the reign of the Queen of Dragons.” He told us that the cult has a clutch of dragon eggs under heavy guard in a cave at the camp.
Eric starts thinking aloud: "I think that taking or destroying those eggs would hit the cult where it hurts the most. We cannot attack them; and sneaking into their camp would be challenging" he hits his chainmail with his fist, provoking metal noise. " we I think we could make our way into their camp undercover, maybe hired as mercenaries" he take a pause looking to the governor and then to the rest of the party "how does it sound to you?"
The governor thinks for a while. That might work... They wouldn't expect a serious challenge from us, and slower members of the raiding party and walking wounded could straggle into camp.
While you are having this discussion something seems to be happening near the front gate. From the darkness, a creature strides into the dim light of the dying fires around the keep. Although it is shaped roughly like a human, it is at least seven feet tall, its skin is covered in blue scales, its fingers bear wicked claws, and its face has the muzzle and reptilian eyes of a dragon. The creature stops about eighty yards from the main gate of the keep and scans the walls. A line of kobolds fans out behind it. With their spears, they prod four human prisoners into the dim light. You can make out a woman, a teenage boy in a blood-soaked tunic, and two children. Then the creature hails the keep.
Defenders ofGreenest! This has been a successful night, and I am feeling generous. Do you see these four pitiful, useless prisoners? We have no need for them, so I will trade them back to you. Send out your best warrior to fight me, and you can have these four in exchange.
One of the defenders in the keep, seems to recognize the prisoners as his sister and her children, and he is ready to rush out into battle with the creature. Escobert the Red and a few other defenders restrain him while Nighthill turns to the party.
My friends, you’ve demonstrated your prowess all through this frightful night. I realize this is an awful burden to ask you to bear, but any of you has a better chance to defeat that horror than my militia have...
While you're discussing this, you're all making you way to the main gate. (including Nighthill, Escobert and the defender who introduces himself as Sergeant Markguth) There you find Leera, some healers and a lot more defenders.
If you want to try to recognise the creature, I need you to make an Arcana check or a Nature check.
Arcana Check would be 14 rolled on game log; specifically Eric would like to know if he has some particular animosity against him, eventually connected to his past...
Eric is a stubborn dwarf and is ready to fight in any case, just see what the rest of the party says about it...

Eric is sure he knows that type of creature, but he just doesn't seem to recall it right now (ooc: you missed the DC by 1...).
OOC: Sorry for throwing sand in the wheels, but Telurion is a Paladin so he also will step forward ;)
"Let me fight" - Telurion steps forward somberly, addressing Kriv - "I have made a promise to a friend... That I would try to be better for others - this is my chance"
Eek sees an opening and perks up.
Queen knows Blue Dragon? Eek thinks Blue Dragons name was... Lenny?

(Lol, If Eek tries to kiss her right now. She might throw him off the wall. She's not really in her right mind at the moment. Just a warning....)

Kriv takes Eek from Zale and puts him on his shoulders. “Eek and I are going to go talk to the governor.”

The governor turns visibly happy.

Escobert looks more ashamed than proud.

Eric tries to realize if he already knows that creature: if needed perception check would be 21 or history check 17
occ: I would be willing to fight him my concern is that I have no spell slot to use buffs :/

“All I know to do is fight.” Kriv sets Eek on the ground and step forward. “I accept your challenge.”
Just having neutral intelligence would have made all the difference LoL xD
occ: Ok, I Think Kriv is the best candidate we have... just sorry to have no spell slots remained to buff you buddy....
Eric encourage the dragonborn by blessing him and with huge metal noise, hammering his shield like a drum...
OOC: Sorry for throwing sand in the wheels, but Telurion is a Paladin so he also will step forward ;)
"Let me fight" - Telurion steps forward somberly, addressing Kriv - "I have made a promise to a friend... That I would try to be better for others - this is my chance"
Zeminny will ask Eek, “ who the heck is that guy?”
