Everyone stop what you're doing! It's happening! GW's own Alu is having a baby!! Come and congratulate him here: Need some help identifying this picture.
We're so happy for you, Alu!((Appreciated. That felt incredibly apropos.))He had exactly 14 HP left, so with Boltz actually hitting on that second attack, that got him. Thematically figured it cooler if Boltz struck first so shifted that around.
((You can piggyback off my checks I guess. Maybe we can merge into Kutshortorder))((woo! glad my spell worked out there))
Short Order looks around to see what can be found
((do I need a perception check here?))
((Roll me a d20+STR, so +2))Nac goes up to Sparkrender and tries to wrench a tooth free, and ask Zesty to make it into a necklace
We certainly tenderized the meat already... phew. That was a good work out, hahahaa! Really worked up my appetite too.
Aims walks over to the now dead Sparky's tail, raises his ax high, and lobs it clean off.
Anyone up for some dragon steaks?! Considering how hard it is to find dragons, this stuff HAS TO taste amazing!
((wasn't it a baby dragon that was killed for the ritual?))((I think the bronze dragon dude we were looking for was killed for the ritual? @Ben ))
Aims looks around and starts scavenging for some firewood. He grabs some random things from the corner, rips off a couple pieces of wood from the elevator he deems unnecessary for it, as well as the first two blanks from the bridge, and returns closer to the dead dragon to start a fire.
There we go. This should be enough for a bbq. Any of you magick folks want to start this up for me? I'll start chopping up the tail for some delicious steaks.
He starts drooling already as he chops up the tail and cuts off the scaly skin area off from each piece.

((Aidron was the trapped bronze wyrmling. You freed them the first visit, from the hidden library. They did not return for this battle, being told not to by Runara and listening this time.((wasn't it a baby dragon that was killed for the ritual?))
Aims, do you know how to cook eggs sunny-side up? If not, scrambled is always a good option((Aidron was the trapped bronze wyrmling. You freed them the first visit, from the hidden library. They did not return for this battle, being told not to by Runara and listening this time.
Sparky acquired a white dragon egg from somewhere, which was what he actually ended up sacrificing.))
((Sparky acquired a white dragon egg from somewhere, which was what he actually ended up sacrificing.
((Paging @Ben to kindly not ignore my nat20))Kutshort stops hiding and starts looting the bodies
((I will state, that tweak I made to the adventure as written entirely sets up another adventure... I have a few possible thoughts about paths for you guys to take in the future.))((![]()
Stormwreck Isle 2: The Search for More Money))
((I saw it. I didn't have loot tables ready to go so I've got to think on what is appropriate, and I'm trying to not be entirely unproductive at work.))((Paging @Ben to kindly not ignore my nat20))
If I had a frying pan of sorts I could potentially give it a try... As things stand, I have to use my ax as a makeshift hotplate to sear the steaks.Aims, do you know how to cook eggs sunny-side up? If not, scrambled is always a good option
((I'd had you all level up before coming back to the observatory. It was either do it then, or make you wait until Sparky was defeated, and I figured everyone getting improved skills when coming back to him was preferable.((I think the most important question (after loot finds) is...
WURS MAH LEVEL UP!?
I went Super Saiyan when Sparkrender died))
((What kind of dragon doesn’t add to his loot, especially after it has been plundered already?))((I'd had you all level up before coming back to the observatory. It was either do it then, or make you wait until Sparky was defeated, and I figured everyone getting improved skills when coming back to him was preferable.
As such, I'm not going to have you level up again immediately. Level 4 is a good place to end this campaign, although I understand it might feel a bit underwhelming.))
Searching around the rotunda, you find little more than you did the first time through. Among the mangled corpses of kobolds, you find 3 chain shirts, 1 gladius sword, 2 pilums and the signum with dragon wings surrounding a lightning bolt.![]()
Nac tries again to pry one of the dragon's teeth free, but the curved fangs refuse to budge. Try as he might, he cannot dislodge one by hand, managing only to cover himself in dragon drool.
As Kutshort prods around looking for useful items, he notes the thin shimmering membrane of Sparkrender's wing, no longer restrained by the golden strands of light. With a deft slice of his blade, the rogue runs the it along the outer edge and separates it into a swathe of material. The wing feels particularly cool to the touch, and may have some use as a crafting material. Kutshort folds it neatly and places it into his pack.
Aims'orreh hacks furiously at the body of the wyrmling, having considerable difficulty in cutting through the armored hide even post-mortem. With some considerable effort he eventually slices a sizable piece of meat off of the least armored part of the dragon, its buttocks. Making a small fire within his field ration tin, Aims sits down contentedly and prepares to eat ass.
Exploring the observatory again, the party finds Sparkrender's hoard of treasure which mostly consists of a pile of 4,500 copper pieces, 2,200 silver pieces, and 130 gold pieces. There are also ten gems: five pale blue quartz crystals and five blue jasper stones. A leather case holds a blue silk fan painted with powdered blue gems. There are also a few ordinary items Sparkrender likely personally enjoyed, including a crude flute with a pleasing sound, an hourglass filled with sparkling sand, and a set of seven candlesticks.
It would seem you collected all of Sparkrender's treasure the first time through.
You do however find a small piece of parchment with a message jotted in common, reading "May have found an egg at Icespire Peak. Will deliver promptly, have payment ready."
((I... I'm fairly sure you didn't loot the treasure hoard when you left the first time, you'd taken the magic items from the library but I don't think you went back for it upstairs. I guess I should crawl back through the old thread to check for sure... If I did then I'll just cross out that last paragraph with the loot you already got.
Edit: you did already get his treasure, so scratch that. I'll give you something plot-hooky instead. ))
((He was busy.))((What kind of dragon doesn’t add to his loot, especially after it has been plundered already?))
((Actually, yes. I guess Kutshort and Magni can both level up to 4 so you're even with the others.))Edit: ((can kutshort find a 4th level?))
((I mean, you can still do whatever, I guess. If you want to go walk-about before heading back to the town that's up to you.((Being the one to land the killing blow on Sparky was the most satisfying conclusion, even if the whole campaign took almost a year! The memories...
Speaking of, is there any issue with a post-campaign write up that has Zesty going off on his own little epilogue before heading back to Dragon's Rest? If we're even continuing there. I don't know what your actual next step is.))
((I don't have enough gold to leave him))((Is now the moment when Sparkrender Jr. comes flying mid-daddy-being-eaten?))
((Aims may want to take his head as a souvenir
((((We might need proof...))
((Fwiw, I planned on writing that up regardless lol. I suspect not many read my drivel in full. But, I put myself in Zesty's mindset of now that things have finished, how would he feel. And went from there. It was by no means a way to rush anyone along.))
