Noir came into the guild with a mission. He pressed play on a tape recorder and Harold’s voice told us to go up to the mountains through the cursed woods. There is a comet in the sky, but it is actually a dragon, and Noir wants its heart. He’ll give the party a potion now, and gold if we are successful.
We went to the Shambles because Cillian wanted cooking ingredients. There was a chromatic dragonborn that asked what we wanted. He played some mind games, then bitched about not having a tail. I was not in the mood to have my time wasted. Cillian asked for a dragon heart and a liver. He planned to cook when we got there.
We got to the cursed woods and found a turned over wagon. There was a man and 4 horses laying dead. There was a massive oval shaped scale that almost cleaved him in half. I checked the temperature with the back of my hand. Not too hot. It was most assuredly from a jet powered dragon. Cillian knew more specifically a Crimson Glow Valstrax. It doesn’t have a breath weapon. It has exhaust ports on its wings to channel its breath through to attain Mach speeds. This specimen is the best representation of dragonly might. Physical raw power. The damage wouldn’t be elemental.
We set up camp and noticed a really bright shooting star, but it was moving really slowly. As we took watches at night we could see it getting closer. On Thordak’s watch he did a terrible job. After the dragon landed an attacked him he insisted his name was Ko’bal. Who the hell is that? I cured him and went back to bed. It was real fucking hard to sleep with him muttering out by the fire about chickens.
We climbed the mountain and Thordak continued to mutter about Ko’bal. We defeated the dragon. Noir gave us 400 gold each and a very special potion that went to Thordak.
