Dungeon Delvers
Session 10
A Goth Arrives
Brindle, Chunk, Coine, Dorian, Flynn and Urzein (and Vaelen)
Short Synopsis
The party takes Kitty, the brass dragon, and the dragon eggs to the Red Pasha. Alarmed by the implications of a kidnapped dragon and eggs, the Red Pasha asks the party to escort the eggs to the Monastery of Alban. The monks, in turn, will direct them to druids who will be able to care for the eggs.
The party agrees and the Red Pasha offers them passage to Manshaka and gives them two chests and a donkey to transport the eggs. After telling the others about being summoned by his god, Brindle leaves the party. As the party approaches the dock, they find themselves attacked by cultists. A strange goth warlock, Vaelen, comes to their assistance. They defeat the cultists and take their leave by ship.
Long Synopsis
After Kitty polymorphs into a human, the party leaves the underground level below the harem. They return to the Red Pasha to have a private audience. The party explains that they discovered dragon cultists working underground, including imprisoning a brass dragon and concealing a red dragon. To dispel the Red Pasha’s disbelief, Kitty transforms into a brass dragon and reveals two metallic dragon eggs.
The Red Pasha is alarmed by this development and does not want the risk of being associated with the dragon cult or the kidnapping of a dragon. He requests that the party escort the dragon eggs to the Monastery of Alban. There, the monks will direct them to the druids who will care for the eggs. The party agrees to transport the eggs and receive gold, two chests to carry the eggs and a donkey. In addition, the Red Pasha offers to provide passage to the city of Manshaka for the adventurers. Before the party arrives at the port, Brindle informs them that he has been summoned by his God and that he must depart. With a sad farewell, they watch Brindle disappear into the crowded streets.
Upon arriving at the docks, the party is attacked by cultists. Coine summons his “Default Top Four Wolf” to attack a berserker. Flynn is surrounded by attacking cultists, but manages to misty step away to safety. Meanwhile, Urzein is temporarily frozen by a *hold person* spell until Dorian’s *burning hands* spell breaks the caster’s concentration.
A mysterious pale, goth man begins to help the adventurers. With his dark purple and edgy magic, the goth helps take down some of the cultists. Chunk is also temporarily held fast by a *hold person* spell, but eventually breaks free and starts breaking skulls of the enemies. Dorian, also a bit goth, begins to absorb the life force of defeated enemies. The goth, not to be outdone, does the same as well.
Eventually, the party defeats the cultists. The Captain of the Sand Swan approaches the party and lets them know that she was commissioned by the Red Pasha to transport them to Manshaka. She tells them that they will arrive in two nights. The goth introduces himself as Vaelen. He is also headed to Manshaka and asks to join them.
