Toc glances at the eggs, "I've never heard of a good red dragon. And these are supposedly red dragon eggs. I am happy destroying them. However, if Taviel can figure a way for us to take them from this place, I will help. But first I believe we need to destroy this curtain."  Toc carefully examines how its attached and attempt to cut it down without touching the barbs.  

While Toc is examining one side of the curtains, Taviel tested the other for the fire-resistance and set a Create Bonfire there. "What makes you think these are the eggs of a red dragon? There were black dragon pictures all over the place. And the one attacking Greenest was blue. Not sure which is more dangerous, but at any rate - we are not talking about adult dragons here. Have you ever heard about Red - or any other chromatic dragon - being raised by someone who can actually teach them some manners? Would not that be at least worth a try? I can not lift even one of those eggs and we - you, guys - are already carrying Valen's body, it is your decision here. Still, if we can save at lest one egg... I will send Nissa for Nodwick and the carriage, we only need to get it out of the camp."

Actually, Nissa was sent for help anyway - the body alone warranted the need for some transportation.

(Can we tell from looking which color dragon each egg has?)

Germain, you do not think you could roll them out, they are not thick enough for that.  If you want to know the color, give me a nature check.

The bonfire does burn the leather strands, but seems to blacken it more than actually burn it away.  It does look like it might work, but the smoke, with poison fumes in it, and the fact leather doesn't burn all that well, means it would take quite some time, and probably be fairly dangerous.

Toc, looking over how the curtain is attached above, you  notice that a rope has been anchored to both sides of the passage.  It is ten feet up, but, if you could cut that rope, burn that rope, or somehow get rid of it, the whole curtain would come down.

Germain nature check: 9 guidance 4

(If Taviel comes over to help, advantage roll: 16)

(Taviel extinguishes the fire then - poisonous smoke might be a good thing, but not with the party in the middle of it)

With all that talks about the eggs - yes, she will come and help, of course. After all, this is the main treasure here (and her personal interest).

Naroth will come over pulling out his Greatsword and cut the ropes holding the curtain up. Then using the ropes will pull the curtain off to a far corner and leave it in a heap out of the way.

If the ropes are too high for Naroth to get, Toc will use mage hand and a knife to saw them down.  "If Naroth is strong enough to lift the eggs, then we should take them, one at a time.  We'll need that wagon though."

"If we are not traveling far, I can carry two at a time, but that would lead me rather defenseless." Naroth offers.

Germain shrugs, “Let’s just grab the two then, the rest of us can go ahead to make sure its still clear. And then we’ll just smash the rest. Also, did we ever explore that other tunnel? There was supposed to be stolen loot here as well, wasn’t there?”

Germain and Taviel woudl recognize the 3 eggs in the place, there are only 3, as Black Dragon eggs.

Taviel's flying snake flitters off to get the wagon, and probably left a while ago.

Where is Germain's pet again, I might have forgotten...

Naroth and Toc are able to get the curtaind own.  Past the curtaint hey find...

The smell of old blood assaults your nose. The floor is covered with dried puddles of it. Four floor-to-ceiling columns are spaced across the chamber, and chains have been strung between them like clothesline. Animal carcasses hang on hooks from the chains. You see gutted and skinned antelope, deer, goats, what might be big cats, and even a few small bears. Some of this meat has been here for a while if the smell is a reliable indicator.

This cave contains nothing of value.

As you gather up the eggs you head out.  On the way you glance into the only area you had not yet checked out.  Inside you find...

This chamber is now mostly empty, except for a few overturned boxes, broken items, scattered coins, small gems that were dropped during the hasty evacuation, and one cultist who is sleeping soundly on the floor after consuming several bottles of wine. He won’t wake up from anything less than vigorous shaking, and it will be several hours before he is coherent. All the dropped items left in this room have a total value of only 16 gp.

(You can just add the GP to your sheets if you wish to spli tit somehow...)

As you exit the cave system you find the day is ending.  you work to get all 3 eggs out, probably by going in for the last one, then set up camp.  Do you camp inside the caves somewhere, or out in the camp abandoned by the cultists.  Remember the scouts are still out there, around their campfire once again.

We'll camp just inside the cave mouth enough to be hidden from the scouts, until we get an update on the wagon.  

(Everyone gets 4 gold to their character sheet.) 

(Germain's pet, I think, was keeping an eye out outside the cave for us?)

"That must be enough for the monster," quietly commented Taviel the nauseating display and returned to escorting the eggs. They would need to send word to Harpers and talk with the wizards on Greenest (there had to be at least one there) how to handle the precious cargo. The last cultist could probably make a good prisoner. Or may be not, Taviel did not care that much.

Now she was waiting with others, concentrating on mental search of Nodwick - he had to answer once he get within 1 mile.

Was the wagon back in town or waiting at your last campsite?

Taviel guides in her servant with the wagon.

The next morning you have the eggs, along with Valen's body, loaded into the wagon and start the trip back to Greenest.  You don't spot anything of concern on the way and soon are back in town.

You arrive back in Greenest around noon.

Nighthill greets you with delight and respect. He tells you that before Leosin Erlanthar left town, he bought horses and riding gear for the group of you to speed your journey to Elturel. The horses are being kept at the dealer’s stables until you are ready to leave for Elturel; all their costs are paid for.

You are in a smallish town right now. No one here is going to know what to do with the eggs. Your only real option is the innkeep of the tavern you all gathered in, the dwarf you know to be a Harper agent. It is on your way to Elturel, the small village where you learned of the issues Greenest was having.

You can all level up to level 4 now.

(and there was much rejoicing!)

Toc looks to the group, "I suppose we need to bring the wagon and the dragon eggs with us then, yes?" 

It's only a day's journey to the other town, so it would not be for the entire distance.
