Abishai's Dragons of Icespire Peak

Zephyros bandages up some of his wounds but he's still pretty rough as a rock hits him in the head. "Oww..." The bearded veteran rubs his head. (Short rest 3 hit dice used for 21hp. Dex save: 4)

He grabs up his trident from the dead hag and lovingly holds the weapon with a renewed joy. Seemingly lost in his thoughts as he converses with his wife through the trident, only coming back to his senses as the rocks fall. He stands up, moving to the treasure trove... "Oh wow." the warrior exclaims as he looks at the treasure. "Yes, let's carry as much of this out before the building collapses down upon us."

Ironheart stops for a moment near the deathknight, Kithran. "Why did you come to help us?" The veteran asks bluntly. "Last we saw you, you commanded an army of undead and ordered them to assist us in reclaiming the ancient fortress of Axeholm. Now you arrive here in our hour of need to turn the tide. Whatever your reason, we are grateful."

As the deathknight begins to open a treasure chest, the tactician takes an instinctual step backwards and offers a warning, "Wait! Let Meira check the chests for traps first!"

The warrior then moves to carry one of the open chests up the cracked staircase back outside. He'll come back in and repeat as many times as possible to grab the valuables from this place.

Seeing Zephyros taking one of the chests out, Meira calls to others, "Someone grab the other chest, I can check it outside." She then tries to simply throw items into her pack - compass, spyglass, pendant, charm, rings, and the interesting jug. If she has time she'll try to get what she can of coins. She then mentions, "There's the chest of gems too."  She picks that up and heads out if she can manage it.  Otherwise, she suggests someone else take it. 

Her intention is to get them out then come back in with Zephyros to grab more. For a second round she might give a glance to the bows or weapons to see if any strike her at a glance as unique and grab those. (Perception to check them if needed: 21) Additional coins too would be a priority and then she'd help with whatever else others might want to get out. 

(Rasziel dex save: 8)

The young dark-haired man with the sinister-looking scar is caught by falling rocks and once more struck to the floor, further making him consider the gruesome and perlious path of an adventurer. His focus is to make it out of the light house alive but he and his accountant would want to assist if possible with bringing along any and all valuables.

Gareth assists in grabbing whatever he can carry, whether it's one of the iron chests or an armful of random loot. With Zephyros grabbing one of the chests, he assumes Kithran will grab the other, but if he doesn't, the ranger will pick it up. 

Once everyone's arms are properly full of treasure, the ranger says, "All right. Let's get out of here."

(OOC. I grabbed the seashell charm and the glass pendant.)

Kithran stops mid stride and turns to face the veteran. " My reasons are my own." The death knight states. "I do not need to explain myself to you."

He aids in moving the chests out, but does not take any gold.

Gareth,

Walking over to the alchemist station, you find enough supplies to put together your own set of Alchemist’s supplies as well as 5 potions filled with a metallic grey liquid. Tasting one, you recognize you found 5 potion of invulnerability.

Everyone,

As you stop Kithran from opening a closed chest, you gather up as much loot as possible and head back up the stairs and outside. The entrance door to the lighthouse opens easily enough and you find your way outside, placing your treasure in a pile. As you look back, ready for a return trip to get more treasure, you see a beautiful blue sky with a spattering of clouds. Sea gulls flying nearby and the sounds of birds chirping reaches your ears. The sun is getting low on the horizon and looks gorgeous against the endless expanse of the ocean. Light from the sun reflecting on the water making it sparkle like a thousand diamonds.

Suddenly you all feel the ground tremble again as a large stone from the top of the tower breaks off and hits the ground nearby. The tower has taken significant damage from the vortex disbursement and looks unstable. It might collapse at any moment. You've taken the following from below:

• 1 open chest filled with 120pp, 1,200gp, 1,800sp, and 2,200cp
• A gold filigree compass
• A pearl inlaid spyglass
• A small chest of gemstones
• A glass pendant
• A seashell charm
• A gold ring with a fancy inscription
• A silver ring with a fancy inscription
• An interesting clay jug
• Two closed iron chests. (Contents unknown)

Do you head back down for the rest of the treasure?

Zephyros calmly watches as a large stone tumbles from the lighthouse, crashing onto the ground with significant force. 'It might hold up, at least for one more trip,' The veteran ponders. He then matter-of-factly announces to the group, "Kithran mentioned there was enough gold to start a war down in there. By the looks of it so far," Zephyros glances toward Icespire peak. "We'll need an army to storm that mountain and slay the white dragon. In case we've forgotten, we also have a green dragon to look out for now. I'd say we could be able to recruit some conscripts with what we have now, but the more the better." Ironheart watches his companions faces, hoping to catch glimpses of their thought processes as Zephyros weighs a possibility. "I'll go down one more trip, but I don't expect any of you to follow. It most certainly is a risk, but so are the dragons."

The bearded bear descends into the depths one last time to gather:

1. The plate armor or chain mail that may be special

2. As much platinum and gold pieces he can carry

Kithran watches the crumbling lighthouse for a moment, then he rumbles,

"Although it could be stable for one more trip, I'd rather not be buried for a hundred years. I've already been in this lighthouse for far too long, we need to get a move on."

Kithran will wait outside for Zephyros' return, and he will study the seashell charm and the glass pendant.

"I think we've got most of it, save for the armor and weapons," says Gareth. He watches the veteran warrior head back into the lighthouse with a sigh. Another stone had toppled from the precipice of the tower. The whole thing was like to topple into the sea at any moment.

The ranger hesitates for only a moment before following Zephyros back down to the treasure. "Sylvie is going to kill me if I get crushed by a rock," he mutters to himself.

Inside the treasure room, he grabs the fanciest looking longbow and fanciest looking longsword, hoping they might be magical. Then with a nod to Zephyros, Gareth climbs back up the stairs and back up to safety as quickly as he can, hoping another rock isn't about to fall on his head.

(DEX Save if necessary) - 15

Meira hesitates a moment when she hears Gareth mention Sylvie. But as Zephyros returns inside she says, "I'm with you."

She simply dumps out the items in her pack then rushes back inside.  She'd work with Zephyros to collect as much of the platinum coins, then other coins, as possible. If time allows the silver goblet are dumped into the pack. Then she tries to take as many bows as possible. Shortbows first, the longbows.

Although the treasure beckons him to return and collect it all, Rasziel tempers himself, ready to try and rescue anyone being trapped but otherwise abstaining from venturing back into the collapsing tower. His greedy accountant on the other hand flies back inside to collect as much of value as he can possibly carry.

Zephyros, Gareth, Meira, and Azazel head back into the crumbling lighthouse to acquire more treasure. As they do, rocks begin falling at an increased rate. Gareth just barely avoids the rockfalls as he moves through the space. [[OOC: Everyone else going into the lighthouse including Azazel, Please make a Dex saving throw DC 15 taking 12 bludgeoning damage on a failure.]]

Zephyros focuses on scooping up the armor while Gareth grabs up some of the nicer weapons. Meira and Azazel gather up additional coins and other treasure. Thankfully, all make it back out of the lighthouse (except maybe Azazel if he fails his Dex save) with their additional treasures just before the tower completely crumbles in on itself, leaving the building a ruin and the remaining treasure buried under several tons of stone and rock.

You've added the following to your pile of treasure:

• 260pp, 900gp
• 13 silver goblets
• 2 longswords, 2 shortbows, 2 longbows
• 1 set of chainmail, 1 set of plate, 1 shield

During your foray back into the lighthouse, Alisande had been ritually casting detect magic and separating the treasure into two piles. She confirms to Kithran that the charm and pendant he holds do hold some magical auras as well as the items listed below:

• A gold filigree compass
• A pearl inlaid spyglass
• 1 longsword, 1 longbow
• 1 sets of chainmail, 1 set of plate, 1 shield
• A gold ring with a fancy inscription
• A silver ring with a fancy inscription
• An interesting clay jug
• One of the closed iron chests exudes a protective charm upon the lock.

You all take stock of your situation and begin to decide your next move while the sun gets low on the horizon. Alisande offers to begin identifying the magical properties of the treasure but lets you know the process takes some time to complete. What would you like to do?

Greediness crushes the tiny accountant and he is sent back to the hells with a whimper.

(Meira DEX Save: 20)

Moving quickly, Meira gathers what she can, avoiding the falling stones. As she makes it back outside before the tower collapses, she adds the more recent items to the others then starts to gather her belongings back into her pack.  

With the light fading, she suggests, "We should find a place to rest for the night. Somewhere near."

She then glances at the ruined tower. "And maybe just a little bit of a distance from this formerly cursed place. Well, and away from shore so we won't get caught by the tides.
