The Flaming Dragon
Run 1 #
Party: Rodath’raktis, Rzyen, Niridia, Dain, BuckyBooBoo
Before sunrise, the Spiraling Adventurers arrived at Curling Fang Spire, summoned by Master Avaris of the Flaming Dragon. In secrecy, he led them through dark alleys to the temple, where he explained their mission: the Dragon Core Shard holding the spire together was failing. They needed to retrieve another shard from an abandoned temple deep in the Green.
When they requested to see the current Core Shard, Avaris led them to a warm chamber, where the shard pulsed with energy. Ryzen immediately schemed to steal it, or the new one, and looking for ancient tech he sent his invisible imp to steal a brazier. The imp was caught, set on fire, and decided to let go of the brazier. Avaris, aware of the culprit, chose to remain silent. Instead, he gifted the party the ancient brazier and Red Incense, useful against the Green.
Bucky led the way as they ventured into the Green, noticing it reacted to the technology carried by Ryzen and Niridia. Unseen footsteps followed them. Eventually, they encountered a towering Flaming Warrior, corrupted by the Green. It initially accepted food from Bucky, but after inhaling deeply, turned aggressive. The party swiftly took it down, finding an unknown vial on its body.
Avoiding hidden pitfalls, they discovered a collapsed ceiling leading into the temple. Ryzen's invisible imp scouted ahead, revealing a warm metal door, untouched by the Green. Securing ropes, they descended into the temple.
A sentinel tree, corrupted and massive, attacked with grappling vines and poison, while Green-infected warriors swarmed. The party noticed hidden braziers with Red Incense—lighting them weakened the Green. Once all were lit, the creatures fell, and two members chopped the tree down and pushed it into a crater.
After resting, they pried open the warm doors, revealing a Core Chamber similar to the one before. Using spells, they extracted the Dragon Core Shard. Ryzen also managed to cleanse an Ashmantle Cloak of corruption using fire resistance and Red Incense.
Returning to the Spire, the party carried the Core Shard ablaze, drawing maximum attention and completely ignoring Avaris’s secrecy. Their mission was a success. Subtlety? Not so much.
Master Avaris, watching from the shadows, sighed deeply.
