Scribe Notes - Vol. 2: Reclaiming Thundertree

If you haven't already done so, be sure to read the previous posts in the Scribe Notes series for the complete back story!

We set fire to the occultist's cottage and cut them down as they fled the flames... On a happier note, I successfully cast a Flame Sphere for the first time. Burned three of them to a crisp; poor devils. Rinn rushed us away from the scene and spoke of trust. His real name is Thaelin.

The plan... if one were to call it that, is for Thaelin to coax the dragon into prematurely using its acid breath while we lay in wait. While it recovers its breath, we are to beat the creature into fleeing... wish me well! I'm planning on using that scroll of fireball.

A mighty battle! We rushed in as soon as the acid cleared. Thaelin was split into many forms. A clever tick. Ava fired off two shots, landing one. Trym missed once... twice. But that scroll! By Oghma, such a fiery blast! It nearly took the whole tower in flame. Thaelin rent the ground beneath it's feet, but it took flight and chewed through one of his illusions. His response was to summon a pair of brown bears. After that I must say I lost track of the action. Last I remember, the dragon was flying away with our arrows and fire still wounding it. Thaelin has agreed to show us to Cragmaw Castle. Oghma be praised!

While we rested at Thaelin's cottage, he told us of Cragmaw Castle: a former human settlement, taken over by the Cragmaw Goblin clan. Awful creatures. They worship a vile god called Maglubiyet. Only a day's ride to the site. Oghma's first task for me me... almost complete!
