Aleeto speaks up about the ancient druidic religions of the region 17

After several hours, you have discovered an ancient underground temple, for an old pre-druidic religion that worshiped Elemental Fire. Climbing down into the sunken stone structure, reveals a large cavity and a hardened lava flow below.

Traversing the lava tubes below, the air becomes hot and steam makes it uncomfortable for those without fire resistance.

A large lava flow is found deep down one of the main lava tubes, a large cave comes into view, filled with drakes and young red dragons. The red stone is cooling lava 1d6 fire damage each round. The cavern ceiling is 80 feet tall and each platform is level. The gray squares are an unclosed cave, also 80 feet high but you can't see into the cave, everything in the cavern is open with no walls. Roll for initiative.

Initiative: 13

Oretta (Soldier), Champion Fighter 4th, Archery, Heavy Crossbow +1, Half-Plate
Garwyn (Soldier), Champion Fighter 4th, Protection, Longsword +1, Plate +1

Backing up to the bottom of the sunken stone Temple of Elemental Fire,

Aleeto, the Druid of the Mountain Land, sensing dragons ahead from his [Tooltip Not Found] and potion of fire resistance and perform any additional preparations before entering the lower chamber and rolling initiative,

Aleeto, up to 12 people, for 1 hour, increase their max hitpoints 13 from Heroes' Feast and gain advantage on Wisdom Saves and immunity to frightened
Hanako, up to 12 people, for 1 hour, increase their max hitpoints 8 from Heroes' Feast and gain advantage on Wisdom Saves and immunity to frightened

Everyone drinks a Potion of Heroism (even if they already have temp hp)
Everyone who doesn't have fire resistance drinks a potion of fire resistance (even a couple people who plan to gain resistance by rage or spell)

Gaius, Portent 10,  8
Kane, Portent 17,  16, 2

Borgus casts Mage Armor on himself
Domi casts Mage Armor on herself
Juno casts Mage Armor on herself

Hanako, up to 12 people, for 1 hour, increase their max hitpoints 8 from Heroes' Feast and gain advantage on Wisdom Saves and immunity to frightened

I'm giving everyone 8 extra max hp from the lowest hp first, up to 11. You should also take 8 max hp, then I'll give the remaining people 6 more max HP

I kind of assume that we picked up plenty of potions for everyone, so Akkron also downed a potion of fire resistance and a potion of heroism (in addition to getting the max HP boost from heroes' feast. He's going to save his potion of invulnerability until we're ready to confront the ARD itself. Do we also get to feed our dragons the potions of fire resistance and heroism?

yes, you can feed potions to dragons, let's limit the number to 3 potions max,
also one +6 max hero's feast is up for grabs, if one of the dragons wants the scraps.

Better give the +6 to Roxo since the 'little' guy needs the boost a bit more than the GDD does.
