In which the party...
- Travels through forests and swamps, braving a night long storm in the swamp lands.
- Spends time foraging for food in the swamplands and continuing to travel - when on their 4th night, the black dragon itself is encountered.
- The party immediately bows to the black dragon. They prostrate before it, and amused it engages them in dialogue (using reaction rolls):
- "Oh great dragon, we come with a bargain."
- "Mortal, what do propose, what petty trinkets do you have that I could not simply strip from you with my flames?"
- "We can provide you a city full of men folk, on a plain, clear and easy pickings. The men have no experience of hiding their sheep from dragons like the town of Goalshine. The town is called Malisha."
- "And why do I not simply take both. All these lands are under my dominion. You simply offer what is already mine!"
- "But of course that is true - yet they do not claim that! They say they are their own masters!"
- The dragon's eyes flare with fury, "They dare! Let their children, and their children's children feel my wrath!"
- With this, the great dragon takes off and flies at full wrath towards Malisha city.
- The party, having directed the dragon's sight away from Goalshine, travel back to town, resting to forage once more - but this time, a pack of 6 kobolds attacks them at night.
- They manage to slay the kobolds and return to town, claiming they chased the dragon off out of Goalshine!
- The town, over the next few nights, seeing no dragon attacks celebrates them as heroes and pays them the promised 1000 gold.
- The party, flush in wealth, continues on seeking further reward with a burgeoning reputation as heroes. Little do they know that the rumors of their "dragon vanquishing" exploits start traveling to the ears of the black dragon itself!
