My
Tyranny of Dragons campaign had it's fifth session last night. Things went completely off
the rails and I have a write up for it coming. I’ve been wanting to write up the session reports for a while now so in the mean time I’ll give a quick overview of what’s happened thus far.
This post contains spoilers for the
Hoard of the Dragon Queen adventure. Read no further if you intend be a player
in this campaign!
Sessions 1-2: Greenest in Flames
The
campaign began with a caravan arriving in at the outskirts of the village of
Greenest. The village is under attack by raiders and a big blue dragon. Enter
our heroes. Godric Dante, the half-elf ranger and former ruler of Greenest.
Khyber, a gnomish wizard/cleric of Mystra. Brioche, a Halfling bard and former
farmer in the area. At this point we only had three players so I had an NPC
cleric of Lathander named Randal Dawnbringer who claims that Lathander is his
brother…

When
Godric had last been in the village his sister had been left in charge. So the
mission was to get to the Keep. After having a few encounters, the group made
it to the Keep. Godric new of a secret passage in from his days growing up. Once
inside they learned that Godric’s sister had been betrothed to the new leader
of the Village Lord Nighthill, but that she has been missing for some time now.
The
group lead by Godric confronted Lennithon, the massive blue dragon that was assaulting
the Keep. They surmised that the dragon did not have its heart in the attack
and cut a deal with it. If they promised to return Lennithon’s 3 eggs that he
suspected were being kept in the raiders camp, he would leave the fight now.
The deal was made and the Dragon flew off.
Later
in the evening a few other characters joined the group in helping to liberate the
town. They discovered the ambush at the Mill and rescued the townsfolk from
doom at the Temple of Chauntea.
The
raid concluded with the Cult of the Dragon’s champion a blue scaled dragonborn named
Cyanwrath challenging the town to a duel. He was injured badly during the fight
but ended up killing a halfling monk PC named Toro. This was one of the players
that never ended up coming back due to scheduling issues.
Session 3: The Raiders Camp
 |
| Lennithon the terror of Greenest! |
The
party recovering from the attack is recruited by Lord Nighthill to track the
raiders back to their camp. Godric doesn’t trust Nighthill at all and is very suspicious
of his motives (He may even be right…). The group is resupplied and heads out
to the south east. They find a camp of stragglers and thanks to the trickery of
Khyber and a few well placed spell the group begins infighting. The party
easily cleans up the remaining raiders. Eventually they make it to the mouth of
the camp where they are ambushed. The party manages to defeat the villains, but
are badly injured during the battle. From this point they discover the full
extent of the raiding party forces. They do a quick reconnaissance of the enemy
camp and gather as much info as they can from the safety of the mountains and
cover. From there they return to Greenest to report what they have discovered
and try and get some reinforcements.
