Ironfang Quick-cap for August and September
In August:
While dinner conversation was coming to a close and it was determined that the party would head back home without resting, the heroes became aware that a fight between massive foes was happening not too far from their current position. After a quick deliberation, it was decided that investigation was needed. On approach the group was a little shocked to see several green skinned 10 foot tall trolls were fighting a fairly large green dragon. As both of these creatures are typically evil, the smart choice would have been to wait until the battle was over then finish off the weakened victor. That is not however what was decided.
The heroes quickly joined the fray and took the side of the green dragon. After a minute or so of intense action, all of the trolls lay lifeless either covered in acid or smoldering from the flames. The dragon seemed amused by the whole situation and accepted both the help of the heroes and healing from Ecko. Friendship is too strong of a word to describe what happened between the dragon and party, but a loose respect was formed while everyone rested from the combat. In the end, the party agreed to help rid the forest of anything doing harm (including themselves) and the dragon agreed to help in a non-martial capacity the rescue of more slaves formerly from Phaendar.
In September:
The party travelled to the Phaendar lookout just inside the Chernasardo forest. As they were scouting and finalizing their plan, the dragon appeared to receive his part in the upcoming assault. After everything was finalized and agreed to, the party traversed the water as if it were solid ground (thanks to Valki) while the dragon flew overhead. The dragon used a tree and breath weapons to destroy or damage two warrior encampments along the Northwest side of Phaendar and then, as planned, drew the armies attention to the southern side of town. With the distraction executed, the party sprung into action moving as fast as they could towards the refugee encampment. Several survivors from the damaged army camps turned to engage the approaching group and a melee commenced.
