It’s gotta be an AM game for me to join. I probably should’ve put that.

Since this is a Dragon I'll sign up Sabrina. Level 6 Draconic Sorcerer. She can transmute spells to find weak points and has advantage on all Charisma checks against dragons. She isn't as smart as Reza, but a plan of action is highly recommended before Sabrina will set out to kill a Dragon.  PP10/+1 (untrained), has a riding horse 

  I’ll send the details in the morning when I am at my computer.

I'm super keen to sign up my lvl 5 sorcerer to this. He can haste the fighters and then help Sabrina blast with transmuted spells. Only thing is he doesn't have a mount. Is anyone in a position to lend me some cash?

Oh shit.. I guess we're pot committed now then!! Let's go fight some Ragemaw...

I'm so excited and scared!

Tordak's Correspondance Dearest Hilda, Somehow Ah cannae seem ter join you ma love! Much has happened since Ah last wrote ter yeh… we lifted the curse on the swamp and the fog went away. Good ol’ Arnulf look proper happy with that and Ah reckon he might be able to find some peace with his people. Ah hope he doesnae go too far though, I’m fond of the big ol’ fella! Ah went oot to visit a weird pyramid thing and got laid oot by a nasty bite from some sort of undead thing. As Ah lay there paralysed, Ah thought of you and the time we spent in the bakery… Ah’ll be with you soon my love but this was not a death to redeem myself. Fighting on, yet another of ma companions was ter fall. How many more will die instead of me? Am Ah cursed? A terrible bully by the name of Ragemaw has been terrorising some of the folk around here. Ah decided ter head oot and deal with this cowardly wyrm. Ah dinnae really know much aboot dragons though, so Ah was pretty happy to have ma ol’ pals Sabrina and Reza along. Sabrina may pretend she’s mean, but Ah know she’s a big ol’ softie underneath it (just dinnae tell her I said that!!) and as she’s part dragon herself, she seems to know what it might be thinking. Reza ’s head seems to have grown since I last travelled with him looking for the fog monster, he’s soooo smart! Tagging along like he apparently did on the trip to the pyramid was Red Beck . He kinda looks a bit like me before Ah got dragged through many, many scuffles - damned pretty boy if yer ask me! Sairina seems ter be related to Sabrina (honest, it’s not just that the names are the same… they have the same da apparently!!) and she’s all dressed up like the fanciest of elves. The armour may not be dwarven but Ah guess it’s pretty decent craftsmanship despite that. Finally, there’s a tiefling fella called Plank . He seems a man after me own heart and may even rival some dwarves fer his ability ter drink!   We headed along the road. Rumours told us Ragemaw was laid up across the river past Borin’s Folly although we spent a fair bit of time trekking aroond that area looking fer the source of the fog curse and Ah dinnae remember seeing no dragons… after a couple of days tramping around, we started ter think they might not be around here. That’s when things got fun! Sleeping one night, we were awoken by a group of goblins trying to sneak up on us! There were aboot six of the little buggers or at least there were until Red Back incinerated most of them! No sooner had we stopped chuckling aboot that though when suddenly a giant frog-type creature appeared oot of nowhere! Ah’d been chasing one of the surviving goblins and Ah ran straight inter the bugger! Here was a worthy foe! Smiling, Ah hefted Liante-Ken and called oot a challenge! It responded by eating me! Inside the guts of the beast, I managed to chop away and suddenly the thing spat me oot. Ah could see ma friends rushing ter help but before they could get there, it swallowed me again! A few seconds later, Ah was joined by Plank too! Ah thought this was finally tha end fer me… but Ah couldnae let Plank die with me… as Ah started ter drift in and oot of blackness, Ah summoned what little Ah had left and hacked away like a madman… next thing Ah know, Ah’m waking up covered in frog spit with everyone looking doon at me. Looks like Ah managed ter kill the fucker! Ah’d have chuckled if Ah wasnae so fucking tired… The next morning, we thought aboot heading back ter Hope. We cannae keep traipsing aroond the swamp withoot a clue where we’re going! But we thought there might be a cave nearby that some folks had checked oot before. As we wandered towards it, Ah suddenly wondered why they wouldnae have cleared it oot already but ma head wasnae really in good shape fer thinking like what it normally is… after getting stung by some creepers, Ah thought mebbe we needed ter be more careful… just as a giant figure burst oota a puddle and grabbed at Plank . This giant crocodile looked a mean ol’ bastard but although we were exhausted, we rallied to kill the huge thing! One look at Plank ’s face told me he was as exhausted as Ah was… Ah’m no gonna lie, Ah was pretty glad when someone suggested we should head home then… Ah’m sat writing this in the Stuck Pig but although Ah’m proper knackered, Ah cannae help but think Ah should head oot again. Ah hear there’s a group of folk hunkered doon in the Barrowmaze ter the north. Mebbe Ah’ll drag ma tired ass ter help them More soon ma love T

Sabrina's inner monologue and thoughts on 'Death to Ragmaw' I would like to say that I stood with Hope’s best and brightest, but let’s face it some one of us far eclipse the others. The first day setting out was void of enemies but brimming with unpleasant dwarven antics. Tordak was gross to begin with but it is only amplified with the presence of Red Beck.   The day came to a close and it was time to discuss tactics. We couldn’t decide on a strategy for Ragemaw aside from not getting burnt . Well that is a start everyone, keeping going something of value must come out of those pea sized brains. I couldn’t see who it was, but some idiot actually said that we didn’t necessarily have to kill the dragon . I’m sorry what? They seriously though they could convince a red dragon to must move along? By all means, get roasted whilst I laugh. Ultimately, we were in agreement that Ragemaw must be dispatched. We all have our reasons for killing him, honour, glory, money, proving that green dragons are far superior etc. I had watch with my ahem sister Sairina. Admittedly it was pleasant catching up with her. She has been keeping herself busy as I have been crossing off names of people that think less of me. Oh Byron, I hated to see you go, but I so loved watching you leave. Sairina in all of her surprises had acquired a title to the local trash heap of a castle. She also went on to say that if things go tits up, we can hide in a little pocket dimension she has in the form of a toy tavern. I don’t fully trust this contraption but if I stops me from dying then so be it. She also joked saying I’ll have to flip a coin with Artemis to see who would inherit her part of the Castle title if she were to die . Ok if I’m reading between the lines here, this is code for me needing to kill Artemis at some point. Splendid. The next day we headed south along the river and followed it along. There were several holes in Reza’s map. Funnily enough there are almost many holes in his brain because the big blue idiot got lost and now we are at the Fog temple. Gods dammit get me out of this place. Honestly, this isn’t the first time this has happened. Now we have to cross the fucking river again and head into goblin territory. Gods help us that we find some clue about Ragemaws location from the remains from his little goblin worshippers, or what’s left of them at least. What a surprise, goblins! They are attacking us (what a shock). Ergh, what’s that smell? Is..is that a literal shit wizard? What kind of stupid ass magic is that? It’s no more impressive that what I see peeking out of Red Beck’s ferret underwear. No matter, they died as quick as they lived. No evidence of Ragemaw. It seems we need to head further afield to get to him. My old friend the Froghemoth came to visit that night. Hopefully, it has come to eat someone else that I detest. Compared to my first encounter with the beast we held our own rather well. Plank and Tordak were swallowed by the creature, only for Tordak to slice his way out. After that little bit of excitement, it seemed we were running a little to low on energy to continue looking for Ragemaw. We had a hefty bounty to collect with the Frogehemoth, perhaps we can add to our fortune by plundering a nearby goblin cave filled with treasure that another group seemed to forgot about ( dumbarses ). We made it to the cave the following day. It was covered with stinging nettles but nothing too serious. Heading straight we come across a very large and angry crocodile. The crocodiles hide would make a fine handbag (it will do before I can skin Ragemaws red hide myself ).  Sairina and Plank were hurt badly in the fight. Seriously? We are going back to town now? If they got beaten up by a crocodile, how are they going to hold up against a bloody dragon. Weaklings honestly...
