Hoard of the Dragon Queen

The Cult of the Dragon was a secret society made up of fanatic humans, evil draconic creatures, and red wizard defectors. They wished to bring Tiamat to the material realm so they could conquer the world. The Best Friends Caravan rose up to stop them.

Clit and Snapjaw share a night of passion.
* Using a teleportation circle in the castle, the BFC is transported to a hunting lodge atop the Greypeak Mountains. It's here they meet Talis the White. Talis is a high ranking member of the cult. She's angry that a dwarf named Varram was named the cult's White Dragon Wyrmspeaker over her. The BFC form an uneasy alliance with her. Talis tells them the cult is using a flying castle to transport a large treasure hoard and provides key information on how to sneak into Skyreach Castle and how to best pose as cultists.
* The BFC head to Parnast and board the Skyreach Castle. Aboard the castle, Minnie decides to venture off on her own. Her invisibility spell gave her too much hubris. She's attacked by a vampire named Sandesyl Morgia and turned into her spawn. Thanks to Lance's holy water, the BFC are able to defeat Sandesyl and rescue Minnie.
* While investigating the castle, the BFC realize it's owned by cloud giants led by Blagothkus. The giant leader has no affinity for the cult's cause. He simply wants more dragons in the world so he can unite giantkind to kill them all. His wife's soul possesses the castle and allows it to fly. With the help of Esclarotta, the BFC convince Blagothkus to help them stop the cult.
* The BFC and Blagothkus fight off the cult and kill Glazhael, the white dragon occupying the castle. This prevents the cult from using the castle's treasure hoard to summon Tiamat. Rezmir and Azbara Jos escape.
