The group gathers as much treasure as can be carried including thousands of gold, platinum and electrum pieces. Each member also takes 22,000 in precious jewelery.
With the treasure packed the group returns to the Desert City. Again they take up residence in the rectory in the Belliallian Temple. It is there that Thud takes a knife and cuts Navarro’s throat. Navarro bleeds out dead in front of the rest of the group. Thud states that Navarro was plotting against him. He knows this because of his magical helm. Max uses the ring of truth to confirm that Thud is telling the truth. This is what happens to those that would try to betray the EFK!
The group leaves Navarro’s body where it fell and heads into the city. Greenleaf guides the group to where Crusty’s Tavern used to be. As the group enters, a troll is seen serving drinks at the bar. The group drops over 1500 gp and are given a private room. Later that day they are visited by the famous dwarf himself, Crusty.
He tells the group that reginald the troll would make a good guide to the city. The next day Reginald is hired to escort the group to specialty shops. Party members acquire magic items, components and supplies. A map of a Red Dragon’s Lair is also purchased by Max and Greenleaf. The group equips themselves with fire resistance items and sets off to find the Red Dragon.
Several weeks later brings the group to the base of the mountain range depicted in the Dragon Map.
Good job Thud. I wanted to kill his ass when he got all pissy about the Frost Giant armor. Not to mention calling all of us cowards.
Good riddance. Stoked about the possessions he was willing to donate to our cause…
I hardly knew thee Navarro. Thank you for the lesson in paranoia. I shall not only watch my actions but my very thoughts!
Ahh what an expensive city. Nice for the Beliallians to allow us shelter from the desert. I hope the treasure of the Red Dragon be equal or greater than the Silver.
Bah! Is is far better to be in the afterlife with the honored dead of my people than with the treacherous,craven half ogre Thud and his cowardly henchmen. May your backsides burn and singe during one of your many retreats.
Pay no attention to the rantings of that egotistic spirit. This group now has the blessings and protection of The Frostmaiden. Just remember this saying which has served me well in past adventures:
Trust no Ice until tread upon
No shield until tested
No sword until hacked with
Lest thee be bested.
lol!
Errrr arrrr rooaarrr….ahhhhhrrrarrrr!! (translation: Lower bitch, lower….ahhhhh!!)
Revenge of the Dragon!
