The Dark Return

Post by Dicey13 »

*Reports come flooding in about an attack that took place in the Quagmire swamps. It started with reports of a dragon sighting above the ruins in the Quagmire Swamps. A large black dragon was sighted and when a group of adventurers went to investigate it was discovered that the old ruined temple was overrun by beholders and Green-Tribe lizardfolks. The adventurers cleared them out only to find no sight of the dragon. Unfortunately it was all a ploy as the real attack took place at the mercenary camp where the Red-Tribe reside. It was a devastating sight to behold, acid melted its way through the encampment, bodies of the lizardfolk tribe scattered the ground. When the group of adventurers made it there it was too late, once again the dragon had vanished. When asked the remaining locals went on about how a man clad in black came through a magic door and turned in to a dragon then laid waste before vanishing once more. Where the dragon had gone was anyone's guess, but one thing is certain this is not the last of the dragon*

The Duke first returns to the camp at Kohlingen to inform those gathered of the attack, and formulate a plan of action in case the dragon decides to attack there next. With only limited defenders and little defense against an angry adult dragon, the plan would seem to be "scatter and try to get help".

He then heads to Cystana to alert its leadership (and the Platinum Knights) of the possible attack.

Meanwhile, the Armathoran Captain alerts Winya Ravana and it's defenders regarding the recent attack and to be watchful for any further sightings in the region.

Kurchin, upon hearing of the attack, sees what he and the nearby warren can do to render assistance. He takes a detailed look at the damage, before going to try and make some notes about what supplies and constructions are needed to help the Red Tribe.

*it is a very dark few days at the Mercenary Camp, despite many efforts not many of the fallen Red Tribe were able to be brought back. The locals and those offering help would spend the next few days burning the dead in a ceremonial fashion, all the while being ever watchful and cautious of the skies, and to any new faces entering the camp alone. The extensive damage to the camp dwellings was also being repaired as best they could.*

Once word reached her, the copper dragon Cromlech might be spotted climbing atop the cliffs around the mercenary camp.

She stays well away from the situation, but still close enough to observe and search with her especially keen eyes. The young dragon looks serious and unhappy as she crawls about the cliffs and decides to keep an eye out from above.
