8 am: As they walk up the winding pathway to the tower, they can see that there is a cottage adjoins the tower to the left. Both the structures looks to be in good condition, except for a huge gaping hole on the roof of the tower.
Myarmos notes that the cultist was nowhere to be found. He wonders why.
Oskar runs forward as the party approaches the building. The pathway ends at the cottage door. In front of the cottage, there are corpses of two hideous giant spiders, apparently dragged there. Their bloated bodies are puckered and blistered, and appear to have been mauled by a large animal. The stench was unbearable as Oskar moves in to investigate. These spiders had their abdomen slashed by some huge claws and green rotting ooze leaked out from these wounds. Oskar deduce that the giant spider was killed not more than a day.
While Oskar was inspecting the corpses, Orbit flew up to the gaping hole to see what's inside the tower. As he hovers over the gap, he saw 2 glowing eyes looking back at him! It was the green dragon! "Who disturbs my sleep?" Says the green dragon in a deep baritone voice.Trying not to anger the dragon, the party walked into the tower via the cottage door to introduce themselves. Skye and Myarmos tried to persuade the dragon to leave the tower. Orbit perched on the wall of the gap (can pony perch?) and observe at the improbable situation as it unfolds.
Unfortunately instead of calming the dragon, Skye and Myarmos made matter worse and the dragon attacks the party.
The parties attacks was not effective against the dragon. The dragon rears his head and spew a poison blast at Thorrk, Skye and Oskar, Skye overcame by the poison and fe
ll senselessly to the ground. Both Thorrk and Oskar was wounded badly by the poisonous fumes.
Myarmos and Orbit was shocked by dragon's devastating first attack and was speechless. Oskar sensing the impending doom, drops his longsword and knelt before the dragon, begging for his life.
The dragon finds it amusing that a normally proud mountain dwarf would do such a shameful thing to save his friends, that he decides to spare all their lives. The dragon warns them that the next time if he ever see them again, he would not be so merciful.
The party drags the unconscious Skye outside, away from the dragon as fast as they can. Myarmos stabilized Syke with a spell.
While the party was still stunned by the event, Favric and his cultist band turns up. They were surprised that the party was alive! Myarmos accused Favric of lying about the dragon.
There was a tense moment with both parties, but the adventurers decided not to create a scene as some team members are hurt pretty bad and getting into a fight now is very disadvantageous.
Favric, having no intention to get into a fight, turns around and head back to their hideout.
The adventurers decides to rest at Reidoth's place.
9 am: Reidoth grudgingly let them in for a short rest. Myarmos was extremely unhappy and upset over the dragon and the cultist incident. He was fast to accuse Reidoth of sending them to the dragon, to a certain death. Reidoth was furious over this accusation and demanded the party to leave his house immediately.
Outside, Myarmos suggest that the team should head back to Phandalin to rest and rethink what to do next.......
