The ongoing adventure to find the destination of Mouse’s Dragon map.
- Starts with the party in the Guild Hall meeting room with Elias and Mouse.
- Mouse gives over her copy of the map to the White Dragon lair (She sold the original to the Collectors in the auction house adventure.)
- Craw reveals the key that he and others extracted from their time at the Northern prison, Revel’s End
- Party gears up with cold weather equipment and other items they might need on the journey.
- The intent is to follow the map to find the Dragon’s lair. The map shows a path through mountains in the Lost Wish range, just north od Ska R’wyk. The path ends at a mountain base with arrows pointinginto the NE ocean.
Heading north into the mountains
The journey from the gates of Ska R’wyk begins amidst vibrant, rolling green fields where the scent of wild clover hangs heavy in the warm air. As the party travels north, the open landscape gradually tightens, giving way to the dark, towering majesty of the boreal forest. Here, the sunlight struggles to pierce the dense canopy of ancient pines and spruce, and the path becomes a quiet, needle-strewn corridor where the only sounds are the rhythmic crunch of boots on soft earth and the distant calls of unseen woodland creatures.
As the forest thins, the air grows sharp and biting, signaling your ascent into the jagged heart of the mountains. The ground shifts from loam and root to exposed granite and treacherous scree, and before long, the first flurries of snow begin to dance on the rising winds. The higher you climb into the jagged passes, the world turns into a stark, monochromatic realm of ice and stone, where every breath frosts in the air and the howling mountain gales remind you that you are now deep within the frozen, unforgiving lungs of the peaks.
- Travelled into the late afternoon. Made camp, hunted some rabbits to preserve rations
- Next day as they headed out, the party begins hearing strange roars, echoing in the distance – deep ones and higher pitched ones.
- A series of strange roars grows closer. Eventually they round a bend, and spy two strange, massive lizards circling one another while a slightly smaller lizard watches expectantly.
- These are Deep Drakes – two males fighting over a female.
- The party attacks and immediately afterwards a group of Monougas (brutish giants with 3 vertical eyes) leaps from their ambush positions to joing the fray. It appears that they were stalking the Drakes (Drake eggs are know to be valuable)
- No one is on each other’s side and the party ends up on the victort side – the female drake scurries away.
