Remembering Rudy's chiding about "blending in" and not simply destroying everything in their path, Wyldfyre invokes Tides of Chaos and points at the group, "you there, about time you showed up, we've been waiting here for far longer than our schedule allows.  Now, for the love of Tiamat, lead the way and escort us from this abysmal place."

Persuasion check:  23

Kathryn turned back the moment she heard the sound. The night ranger puts her hand on the ground, prepares for a spell…then stops.Wyldfyre's deception is almost perfect.  Kathryn decides to keep silent and watch over how things will turn out. 

Action: Ready action. If the monsters attack her friends, Kathryn will cast Spike Growth to enfold as many guard drakes and kobolds as possible ( but not include her friends)

Wisdom check 3

ooc: ROTFL

The dragon shield the obvious leader of this group shouts some commands the loudness of its deeper kobold voice makes you cringe breaking the silence of this unnaturally peaceful place Just stopping the huge red drakes from trying to eat the dwarf as he was getting up from prone.

Somewhat admiring the red of your hair. Wyldfyre the kobold says "Who are you?" in perfect common.

Wyldfyre smiles, "you may call me Wyldfyre."  Her normally adolescent voice now highlighting the blast furnace-like undertones due to the after-effects of the Tides of Chaos.  "But, time enough for pleasantries later, we are behind schedule.  Can you lead the way out?"

"My name is Krozk." He looks at your group "I suppose you're new here, follow us"  the group re-forms up since the regular kobolds went for cover with slings out. Following the obvious larger trail the Dragon Shield leads you further into the forest to where the cavern ends. Stopping at one of the huge trees he and the others dawns thick winter cloaks and doesn't bother waiting he says Greypeak. The pool glows and his group enters the porthole and disappears.

You're left staring at the tree and pool.

Wyldfyre looks around for Kathryn, then to the others, "shall we?", as she prepares for the apparently lower temperatures on the other side.

Duhlgar getting up brushes himself off. "Well played. Lets keep to the ready" He walks toward the pool and says "Greypeak"

Azurre follows!  

Kathryn nods to Wyldfyre. She came a long way to find the solution to the Cult of the Dragon, and she found heroes. " Well done, Wyldfyre. That was an amazing performance. See you at Greypeak" Then she steps in the  pool.

Wyldfyre follows, blushing at the unsolicited compliments.

You find your selves buffeted by chill winds The change in climate is very stark; the portal and a nearby lodge are buffeted by chill winds, and the surrounding countryside is heavily forested with spectacular mountain views. The group that went before you is nowhere in sight.

An Adult white dragon circles then heads towards some clouds disappearing from view (You guys may level to 7th after a long rest.)

Wyldfyre shivers from a blast of wind despite her heavy cloak, and pulls it a little tighter around her slim frame.  "Do you think we should knock, or just walk in the front door?"

Wyldfyre feels alittle colder as Rudy quickly slips underneath her cloak she hears a muffled  "Brrrrr!"

Wyldfyre stifles a yelp, muttering, "you're a feather covered ice cube, Rudy," as she casts Prestidigitation to subtly warm up her cloak.

Kathryn narrows her eyes to the cold wind. For a brief moment, she  enjoys the fine smell of forest. " …Or find a more safe and silent way in. Please wait for a while. "  The ranger sneaks to the lodge. She uses woods to conceal herself, avoiding the front side of the building and possibly guardian. Also on her way to lodge, Kathryn pays attention to the tracks of kobold army, tries to fugure out where the monsters disappeared. 

Stealth:17, 22  ( I rolled twice, because Kathryn has possible advantage due to her Mask of Wild.  )

(Double proficiency bonus thanks to favorite environment) 

Perception:19

 ( for finding the safe entrance and residence )

Survival: 13 

 ( for checking the track of kobolds and drakes

Duhlgar inhales the cool air and sighs at the beautiful mountains in the background. "Now where did those beasties get off to. Ah I see Kathryns on the hunt"

This ancient building has a wood and plaster upper floor over a fieldstone lower floor: its shuttered windows are all closed. The roof is completely overgrown with moss. A single door stands slightly open. Smoke pours from one of three large chimneys. There are two other stone buildings 

There seems to be only one way in and one way out and the door is unguarded.

You find Drake clawprints in the snow as well as much wider prints  you think are made by trolls. They make a circler pattern then head back into the woods like a patrol. A lone track or two made by kobolds lead to and from the lodge. You also see tracks leading towards a valley.

Right now the hunting lodge seems to be the best place for shelter.

ooc Note the dice roller has an advantage feature 

"Seems might be best to call upon the lord or lady of the manor, so to speak" as Duhlgar begins to move towards the house he reaches his left arm behind him and when he pulls it out there is a small disk, maybe 8 in across, attached to his forearm.
