For the past several days, you have been traveling a road that winds lazily across the rolling grasslands of the Greenfields. Sundown is approaching when you top a rise and see the town of Greenest just a few short miles away. But instead of the pleasant, welcoming town you expected, you see columns of black smoke rising from burning buildings, running figures that are little more than dots at this distance, and a dark, winged shape wheeling low over the keep that rises above the centre of the town. Greenest is being attacked by a dragon!
Kara groans as she watches the huge beast disappear behind the walls.
"The city is in need of aid."Micha says. Kara turns to give the cleric a withering glare. She had met the cleric on the road several days before and given that there was safety in numbers she had agreed to travel with the young woman.
Kara lets out a sigh, "Lets go." she draws her sword and they advance toward the town.
As the pair approach Greenest a mob of kobolds accompanied by some kind of draconic beast peel away from the main assault and charge toward them. Kara surges forward swinging her blade in a shimmering arc that removes the head of the first kobold before stabbing out with lethal accuracy to dispatch the other two. Hanging back Micha mutters a quiet prayer and engulfs the dragon beast in the sacred flames of Helm.
The Drake bites out at Kara but she kicks it away and slices a cruel blow across its exposed flank, while Micha continues to seer its hide with her sacred flames. Kara dances aside as it tries to strike again before driving her blade down into its back killing the beast.
"Let's keep moving before they send more." Kara wipes her blade clean on one of the Kobold bodies.

The pair make a run for the town proper.
