THE ADVENTURE
WEEKLY UPDATE
#33 – May 8 – 2017
The group heard back from Maxim and Zygy, who sent an agent to help gain control of the facility at the portal site as well as to meet and negotiate with Floki. Floki agreed to meet at Naerytar to negotiate with Zygy in person - hopefully drawing Floki into the fight against the dragons. An offer was also made to exchange magic items and gain more power for the group if they were willing to give up Ix's evil sword. They jumped at the chance and all were justly rewarded.
From here on the heroes will journey to Waterdeep to meet in council with their benefactors. This is where we decided to stop and jump off into the Curse of Strahd adventure, which was started this week. Here is a link to the magic items people got.
#32 – Apr 17 – 2017
The trapped rug of smothering on the floor was defeated and Ix's room was searched - but the Mask was not found. While searching it was noticed that Floki's stone guardians were walking across the courtyard to the lower castle entrance. They were watched carefully by Mia and the team as their intentions were unknown. The stone automatons broke through the doors of the Red Wizards chamber and began battling those within. The team fired at enemies through the statues, and eventually were able to enter the room and join the fight. The fight was over quickly as the statues were a devestating force upon the cultists. Soon the battle was over, but the Red Wizard had turned invisible and escaped.
Mia heard noises coming from the tunnels below and summoned the rest of the group. Exploring the tunnels down to the dragon hoard room, they found the slain body of Glazel and talked briefly with Floki there before ascending again. They discussed their successes with Floki and talked about the sharing of some of the magical treasure as well as the possibility that Floki might want to join the fight against the Cult of the Dragon with the PC's powerful associates. Floki was willing to make their aquaintance.
The PC's earned some magic items and dispersed them throughout the group, and then sent a sending to Maxim Onthar - Lord Paladin of the Order of Argus. That is where we left off.

#31 – Apr 10 – 2017
The PCs made quick work of the cultists and any other stragglers who wandered into the barracks. They then sought to lure some of the Dragon Fangs and Draconians to the barracks under the pretext of needing them to sort out some dispute and another hard won battle was had. Their last ploy was to try and get the other half of the Dragon Fangs to come to their killing chamber, but instead Ix was warned and seemed intent on sieging the barracks to get to the bottom of things.
Rather than wait for Ix and his troops to set themselves behind their cover, the PCs rushed out to the attack in a rush.This was their toughest battle yet, battling Ix, a golem, the remaining Dragon Fangs, and several Draconians and 2 frost drakes. Attacks were concentrated on Ix first to successfully defeat him while enduring breath attacks from the draconians. An exhausted group of PCs emerged from this monumental battle having defeated all of the opponants opposing them. But that was not the end...
They needed to capture Ix's strange mask from his trapped and locked chambers, and then sweep away the remaining cultists (The Red wizards and his guards, another golem, and 2 Dragon Fangs). As the group was clearing the castle, Glazel the White Dragon returned in a fury, ripping into the front of the castle, digging through the ruined main entrance doors to get at those inside. Some of the PCs took cover in the Dragon fang room, others ran down the hall and around the corner by Ix's chambers, while Mara ducked around the corner, bracing her shield, and taunted the Dragon. :)
Just as the PCs were wishing they wore their brown pants, Floki returned on his gigantic Roc and began battled the great dragon. Both were seen decending beyond the walls and their view, battling ferociously. Currently the remaining cultists are barricaded in the Red Wizard's chambers. Ix's door is being opened by Xed and Mia.
#30 – Mar 27 – 2017
Communicating with Floki brought about an accord. He had no love for the cultists and their dragons and said that when the castle finished it's return journey and the dragons left to hunt, he would work with them to overthrow the cultists. To be precise - He would take care of the dragons IF the heroes would take out the cultists. He is hedging his bets for sure.
The group communicated with both Zygy and Maxim on their purpose and began their assault in earnest. They chose to eliminate the newly arrived cultists in the barracks first, before moving on to Ix and the rest of the compound. This is where we left off.

INTRODUCTION
Dragon's attacking caravans and the town of Greenest?! Our young PCs are quickly thrust from the world of boring caravan guarding to becoming heroes. Heroes whose destiny lies in following the clues and trail of stolen treasure from the borders of Amn to the far north to find out just what the Cult of the Dragon are up to.
Soon the heroes begin to glimpse the nature and importance of the mystery they have found themselves in the thick of. The good dragons and organization of mankind are drawing together to face off against potentially Faerun's greatest threat - The coming of the Dragon Queen Tiamat to the world. This must be stopped at all cost, or the Forgotten Realms will become a smoking ruin of fire and destruction as she remakes the world into her image of chaos.
