The party descended to the forest floor and began looting the bodies of the wyvern riders while Madormi and Olzion searched the perimeter for additional threats. The party found a note, component pouches, and some pouches with freshly killed game on the bodies. The note said: Message in the same Cipher. “You have been paid 5,000 gold each for your service, and will be paid another 5,000 each once the slayers are dead. Come see me in Giskaine to collect. We eagerly await the arrival of 50,000 of your brethren wyvern riders in a couple of days. -Jamesyth” The party found no money on the corpses and Ron/Urd recalled that 50,000 would be a ridiculous number of wyverns. From what the party knows of Giskaine, it is a town near Elfsett where the elves and mages go to practice magic. It has magical wards around the city protecting it from monsters and invaders. Rurrick and Ron examined the game, which was killed by medium sized creature’s teeth, not wyverns. Rurrick thought of Guard Drakes, which would fit the profile. After a short rest, the party looked for a trail to the camp and found one. With Madormi and Olzion, they tracked the fleeing wyvern to a hillside off to the southwest. In the woods they spotted 50+ guard drakes with scouts patrolling the area. Madormi and Olzion went to take out the large group while the party snuck towards the camp. With Ron & Cassius invisible and Rurrick underneath Ron’s cloak as a spider, they went to investigate with Ailekk and Urd behind. They saw the camp, and Ron saw an adult green dragon in a cave at the back of the camp. He flew down to inform the rest of the party, of a green dragon. Ailekk, Cassius, and Ron didn’t hear and alarm or movement, although some people did begin talking about the sounds of battle off to the west. As the party began discussing what to do, a wyvern with a white-dragon-fiend thing on it (white Abishai) flew over head. At that moment Rurrick skittered around on Ron’s neck, causing him to croak out startled, making noise. The wyvern flew down towards the invisibly mage’s position, baring its teeth and preparing to attack. Ron, Urd, and Rurrick began attacking it and its rider with a fire bolt, scimitar, and call lightning respectively with Cassius and Ailekk joining the fray. The guard drakes and soldiers retreated with the party taking out the wyvern + rider and moving to start the fight. A warlock of Tiamatt exited from the cave, summoning stinking cloud on Cassius, Urd, and Rurrick. Ron went up for a peak and cast a fireball on the warlock, guard drakes, and 3 more white abishai. Ron went down quickly with 2 abishai going after Cassius and the third grabbing Ron’s body and moving towards the warlock. Ailekk went after the Abishai carrying Ron. Cassius managed to kill the warlock. Ron succeeded on all 3 death saves somewhere across the line, with Urd taking on guard drakes and Rurrick going after the archers. Cassius stood his own against the abishai and several guard drakes for several turns, but as Ailekk brought Ron back with a potion Cassius went down and was killed. Urd and Rurrick made it into the fray, with Ron casting a fireball and Rurrick summoning lightning to fell several guard drakes, an archer, and 2 of the abishai. The last remaining abishai grabbed Cassius body and tried to escape with it, but Ailekk chased him down and stunned him with an attack of opportunity. They battle was then won, with 1 injured guard drake and 2 heavily injured archers remaining.
