Krash continues to use his keen mind to identify the enemy. While his first attack misses, his next two hit their mark for 25 damage! Leovold gets distracted by the weight of the dragon slayer blade and misses twice. Nimue unleashes a devastating assault on the creature in her darkness for 28 damage!

The Invisible Stalker is defeated (140 total damage).
Combat has ended (1300 xp).
A wisp suddenly appears from under the dragon skull, flying into the friendly wisp. "Wh-wha-...?"
Suddenly, the wisp transforms into the ghost of a fallen warrior. "Ah...yes. I remember now! I am Tanamere Alagondar! A royal scion of Neverwinter! I slayed Azdraka, the green dragon that terrorized these lands over a century ago! Despite fulfilling my mission, I died in battle...and have been wandering this barrow since...But now I believe I can finally rest. You, heroes: Take my blade and armor and slay the current threat that plagues these lands. I, along with my companions, will finally rest..."
The warrior looks at Dusty. "May Tempus guide you through an honorable battle."
Nimue sees the ghost dissipate and says "Well a little advice on how to actually kill a dragon would of been nice... I guess now we have to summon the dragon or find its lair."
"The heroes return from another successful adventure!" Thistle shouts upon seeing Nimue and her companions. "We got some more travelers coming through. They're fascinated that we've set up shop in a dwarven fortress, you see!"

Immovable Rod Rod, uncommon This flat iron rod has a button on one end. You can use an action to press the button, which causes the rod to become magically fixed in place. Until you or another creature uses an action to push the button again, the rod doesn’t move, even if it is defying gravity. The rod can hold up to 8,000 pounds of weight. More weight causes the rod to deactivate and fall. A creature can use an action to make a DC 30 Strength check, moving the fixed rod up to 10 feet on a success.
Wand of Secrets Wand, uncommon The wand has 3 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 of its charges, and if a secret door or trap is within 30 feet of you, the wand pulses and points at the one nearest to you. The wand regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn.
Hat of Wizardry XGE p137 Wondrous item, minor tier, common (requires attunement by a wizard) This antiquated, cone—shaped hat is adorned with gold crescent moons and stars. While you are wearing it, you gain the following benefits:
You can use the hat as a spellcasting focus for your wizard spells. You can try to cast a cantrip that you don't know. The cantrip must be on the wizard spell list, and you must make a DC 10 Intelligence (Arcana) check. If the check succeeds, you cast the spell. If the check fails, so does the spell, and the action used to cast the spell is wasted. In either case, you can't use this property again until you finish a long rest. Source: XGE, page 137
Boots of Elvenkind Wondrous item, uncommon While you wear these boots, your steps make no sound, regardless of the surface you are moving across. You also have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks that rely on moving silently.

Dusty is greeted by the workers at the Lionshield Coster. "A set of plate! And in a style not used for over a century! Where did you obtain such a find?" one of the workers says enthusiastically while observing the damaged armor. "Yes...yes, we could fix it! Of course, it would still cost quite a bit to repair armor of this type..."
Dusty also notices a shield jutting out of the storage area. Noticing his gaze, the worker says: "Ah, that too. Just finished according to Linene's orders!"

Vitna approaches Nimue and offers to sell her reagents. "Madam Nimue, we were informed that you may need these."
Torin stands to the side, leaning on a wall with his arms crossed. He seems to be watching Nimue with the corner of his eye.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
while his companions haggle over magical boots, krash pulls out his lute and casually strums a song as he basks in the tranquil sunlight. a lively meadow of yellow and violet flowers spring up around the monk swaying to the hypnotic rhythm. if you look carefully, a tiny boar can be seen rustling around the meadow.
Nimue turns to Facebreaker and his sad song and asks "Are you not willing to contribute to the shield for Dusty?" She leans in and says "You know he only has a nub right?"

"We will gladly work on this piece of art!" reply the Lionshield workers enthusiastically upon receiving Dusty's coin. "It will take us a day or so to complete the work..."

Halia Thornton gets Leovold's attention from the Phandalin Miner's Exchange stand. "Back again so soon? With a new blade I see... Spectacular work as always. Well? What's next? The dragon remains a threat."
"The dragon is seen terrorizing locations all around the Sword Coast based on its own whims." she replies. "We are still unsure where its lair is."
She continues. "Don-Jon was investigating a lead as to where the dragon may have made its 'home.' It involved the wererats and their former hideout a the Shrine of Savras near Conyberry. According to your information, that didn't turn out so well..." She places her index finger on her temple. "I do hope he is still alive and can return to us with such information. But it has been days already. He would have returned by now. Perhaps we could ask you adventurers to investigate in his stead? You seem well equipped."

“...avoid the teeth.”
krash grins at nimue.
”it seems our quest has taken us one step closer to slaying the beast. soon we shall bask in the glory of its defeat!”
krash holds out his fist clutched dramatically ...until suddenly his stomach rumbles and growls...
”but maybe we should eat first! *HaHaHa
Nimue says "A short rest is probably best at the moment. Let us eat!"
After the short rest Nimue suggests heading back to the fort from where they came.

The adventurers rest a short while in the barrow. Krash studies his newly acquired tome with intensity.
Storms seem to intensify on the western coast.
The adventurers travel back to base, and make it to Axeholm just before dawn.
They are greeted by a downtrodden Toblen Stonehill, who invites them to their quarters with empty eyes.
Long resting and waking just before noon, the adventurers are greeted with a lively Axeholm, which now has stalls set up for business.
Nimue wakes in the morning and will investigate the shops for any rare or unique items.
Leovold offers Dusty the magical axe from the dwarven temple. " Its fairly comparable to this blade quite honestly."
"The heroes return from another successful adventure!" Thistle shouts upon seeing Nimue and her companions. "We got some more travelers coming through. They're fascinated that we've set up shop in a dwarven fortress, you see!"

Torin stands to the side, leaning on a wall with his arms crossed. He seems to be watching Nimue with the corner of his eye.
Dusty takes the axe and swings it a few times.
"Thank you kind one. I will put it to good use."
Dusty takes off his mithral chain and hands it to Leo.
"Here, I won't be needing this any longer. I will get this Plate repaired."
Dusty will pay the Lionshield the 700g requested.
Nimue will purchase the boots of elven kind for 200g and equip them.
"Finally... It is nice to not be heard whilst I travel."
She will then propose to the group to buy Dusty a shield and will ask Leo to donate 166g. Facebreaker for 80g and she will pay the rest of 254g.
" I think that is worth it to hopefully make sure Dusty can keep us alive."
while his companions haggle over magical boots, krash pulls out his lute and casually strums a song as he basks in the tranquil sunlight. a lively meadow of yellow and violet flowers spring up around the monk swaying to the hypnotic rhythm. if you look carefully, a tiny boar can be seen rustling around the meadow.

Krash has earned 33 gold pieces for his endeavor.
It approaches dusk.
krash opens a single eye and peers out at nimue.
”i offer the gift of music but adventurers below the mountain seem to only desire riches...”
the song ends abruptly causing the boar and its peaceful meadow to dissipate into nothingness. the monk frowns handing nimue his small sack of coins.
”new boots? they suit you”
Nimue takes the sack of coins and combines the total to purchase the shield for Dusty's nub.
Nimue will also buy the simple reagents for 3 more familiar summoning at 10g each (30g total).
Halia Thornton gets Leovold's attention from the Phandalin Miner's Exchange stand. "Back again so soon? With a new blade I see... Spectacular work as always. Well? What's next? The dragon remains a threat."
" Yes, we need to lure it out or track down its lair. Any sightings of it yet? Has Don-Jon re-appeared?"
"The dragon is seen terrorizing locations all around the Sword Coast based on its own whims." she replies. "We are still unsure where its lair is."
She continues. "Don-Jon was investigating a lead as to where the dragon may have made its 'home.' It involved the wererats and their former hideout a the Shrine of Savras near Conyberry.
