The adventure began how it always begins... in a bar. The tale begins in the humble bar of the Twin Dragon Tavern, a well known tavern in Shadowdale that always seems to draw in adventures and mercenaries alike. Among their ranks where Narear, the Wood Elf Fighter with a past he wishes to remain secret, Daxaros, the Tiefling Sorcerer that is the son of a dragon, Lothloriel, the High Elf Cleric born of nobility but chooses the life of the people, Mar, the Drow Rogue that owes his life to another, and Gramodurk, the Half-Orc Paladin that seek justice upon the tribe whom attacked his village. These five wondering souls have come together to join forces in their quests. But the question remains, "What will the future hold in store for them?" After fraternizing with one waitresses, the party noticed a man walk into the tavern and began to speak with one of the owners of the bar. Their conversation was heated and in the end the owner pointed the man in the way of the party in order to be rid of him. The man approached the party with his worry on his face. He gave the party a mission the he says is a matter of "Life and death." Several eggs that where under his care where stolen form him by little red creators. He implored the party to go retrieve them before it was to late. The party was feeling bored and decided to help the man with this his problem. After the party tasted some really disgusting alcohol, they set out for their mission. The headed west, toward the mountains while following the river. a little after mid day, a arrow barely missed the head of Gramodurk. Looking deeper into the woods, they saw five small creatures rushing toward them. The battle was over quickly. Narear was the first to fall in combat, but his party was able to heal him in time for him not to be brought back. One creatures managed to escape from the battle. The party decided they would need to rest up before moving onward and crossed the river. Upon returning, they see many more foot prints along the battlefield. Moving forward, the party tracked the footprints to a low hill at the foot of the mountains. There, they saw the same little creatures that attacked them beforehand standing before a small cave entrance. The battle continued as the creatures spotted them and charged. during this battle, Mar was trying to line up a shot on one of the creatures, but he did not notice Daxaros standing in his path. He fired the arrow and the flew forward, costing Daxaros his right eye. However, in his half blindness, Daxaros found the his accuracy in his spells improved... somehow. The party dispatched of the creatures and began toward the cave. They entered the cave and saw the eggs on the far side of the cavern. Standing in front of the eggs where more of the creatures, three of them looked greater then the others. As the adventures charged into battle, one of the creatures extended his hand and fire shot to the top of the cavern sealing the entrance with falling rocks. The battle raged on and in the end only one creatures was left standing which Mar knocked unconscious. They moved forward to the eyes and saw that one was beginning to hatch. Daxaros stood before the egg and a Blue dragon hatched form the egg. It looked up at Daxaros and seemed to connect with him. The dragon was named Azure. Now the adventurers stand with a question puzzling in the back of their minds. Why would the man need with dragon eggs and why did he say it was a life or death for the eggs to be returned? All they know is that they will have to speak with the man again.
