Dragon Attack

## Summary

Cora Treecreak camps out by some rocks in the green fields when Garrett approaches her campfire with some game. They cook the pig together attracting the attention of of the cat monk Jojo. He asks for the meat and tales from his companions. He's allowed to have the meat but is denied stories as a carriage passes by. Durian Dunklebeard falls out of it with Dr. Gerark leaping out in concern. He tries to help Durian up but he refuses. Eventually Durian smells the pork and goes towards it with Dr. Gerark going along reluctantly.

Durian talks about the dragon activity in the Sword Coast which gets Cora's attention briefly. Everyone introduces themselves with Garrett annoyed that he's being ignored. Eventually they all partake in the feast and begin to pack up when they hear a dragon attacking the town of Greenest. Durian is anxious to go with Gerark following for interest in the dragon's blood. The rest of the party follows and finds Greenest in flames.

Jojo heads into battle first but Dr. Gerark holds him back saying that he can take the most damage. Garrett then notes that the adult blue dragon is looking for something and attacking it is suicide. Some locals come by running away from some reptilian creatures.

The group engages in their first battle against the reptilian creatures called kobolds. Garrett takes three kobolds down easily while Durian throws his handaxe to down another one. Jojo ends up climbing an nearby building to take on another one. He misses his first attack but takes down the attacker on the rebound. Gerark begins healing injuries from the townfolk. He almost takes part in the battle but ends up throwing his javelin as a distraction for Garrett's third kill.

The fleeing group thanks the group for their assistance and mention that some strange robed fellows are setting fire to the buildings. Cora asks if there was an elven girl among the hooded people and they aren't sure. They decide to head in further looking for more people while being recommended to head to the keep in the center of town.

They head further in only to run into more kobolds. Dr. Gerark gets stabbed in the back and gets mad. This makes him very angry and he chops one of the kobolds in half. One of them tries to get onto Durian but it is cut open so the last kobold tries to flee. Durian retaliates with a hand axe to it's head. Dr. Gerark calms down after that as Cora loots the bodies with Durian also finding a magic scroll, a staff of healing and lots of money from the sole human of the ambush.

They take a short break only to see several kobolds and humans ahead. They try to mimic the sounds of kobolds to get them for a surprise attack. However Cora ends up stepping on a branch alerting the enemy. They manage to bring them down. Jojo finds a small amount of money while Cora finds a torch, a ruby and a bunch of money.

They find more kobolds but this time the group takes them by surprise as they are unable to strike back this time. Cora gets a poison while Garrett gets holy water. They approach the fort and Durian is recognized. He's let in with his friends.

The party walks inside to see several guards in the fort with various citizens. Dr. Gerark is believing that they've become a unit together. The locals have no idea why the dragon is attacking them but have got some locals to safety. Several locals are missing so the guards direct them to General Nighthill. Durian helps to heal Nighthill's broken arm. Nighthill sadly doesn't know much besides the fact that the humans leading the kobolds are cultists. He asks for the group to check out the hidden passageway in and out of the keep along with capturing any cultists to interrogate them.

The party complies and investigates the tunnel. It's uneventful until they reach the other side. Garrett unlocks the door and comes upon a large group. Gerark throws Durian at the enemy. A few of them are caught off guard but the rest attack the party. Thankfully the party takes them out with Jojo and Durian investigating the bodies. Jojo gets a jar with a lid on it while Durian gets some red ointment. They take one of the cultists that wasn't slain and bring him to the prison in the fort. General Nighthill asks who should interrogate them and Cora and Durian volunteer. Jojo helps out with his bad luck.

The cultist mentions that the queen of dragons is coming. The kobold eventually squeals that this cult they're a part of is known as the cult of the dragon. Apparently the attack was on the the cult leader's orders. This cult leader turns out to be a female dragon named Rezmir (she isn't Garrett's type).
