Quest Summary:
The clergyman of the Temple of Bahamut has had a troubling vision in his dreams, where the mountain itself shudders, the dragonspawn will unleash a light that will threaten all of Therafim. Although he knows not how a mountain could shudder, nor what the source of the devastating light is, he feels obliged to heed this vision as a warning, and calls upon a group of adventurers to stop whatever this light is. A few months ago there had been incidents with 'dragonspawns' in the form of dragonwrought and half-dragon kobolds, so that may be a place to start. Given directions they were sent off to investigate.
Upon reaching the site, they notices a pillar of hot air current escape from atop a nearby mountain, making the mountain itself "shudder" from the heatwaves making the air shudder around it. Moving towards it, and after Roka climbed out of a pit trap she fell into, they came across the first line of defense in the form of several winged kobold scouts with poisoned arrows, although with smart use of spells, they proved little threat. Pressing on they came across a party of five draconically endowed kobolds, and this encounter was not as easy as the first, from their sly and sneaky rogue grafted with dragon parts, to their leader the half-white dragon himself, it was a difficult fight, but true to kobold fashion, as the tide turned against them their leader was quick to flee into the mountain, spouting that it was too late to stop the 'boon' that Tiamat herself had provided them.
Unable to leave things as they are, they followed through the trap-infested cavern, before coming upon the boon itself, a huge egg that housed a legendary epic dragon! The half-dragon made himself known as the dragon hatched, but a quick arrow to fell the half-dragon alarmed the newly born wyrmling, and it attacked, showing its power in full against the adventurers who had startled it! The half-dragon went down early in the fight, but the match against the epic dragon proved much more difficult, and in a blinding flash of violet light, Roka and Hussam were suddenly gone, banished from the mortal realm through the dragon's powerful but random breath. In the end, weakened, exhausted, and injured, the dragon collapses to the ground and starts to cry, only born for a few minutes it doesn't know what's happening and mourns its fate. Despite the loss of two of their own, the party takes pity on the prismatic dragon, realizing he is just a baby, and Seren offers to take him to the Ark, where he will be safe from those who would wish to abuse his powers.
The threat of the terrible light appears to have been calmed … but what of Roka and Hussam?
