After their narrow victory in the tunnel below the Ayrie, the PCs rest and heal from the mortal wounds so many of them suffered. They backtrack a little to search the giant's hovel below for anything of use, and then decide to press upward and onward. Soon after, they discover that the tunnel has been blocked off with a large mass of stone rubble, which requires a great long time and some magical assistance. Once through, they pass the rest of the tunnel uneventfully, eventually arriving at daylight. A sole dragonborn guard and its pet drake are guarding the tunnel, but the mighty Slakethirst bears a disguise and cons him into thinking he has taken the non-dragonborn prisoners for the cult. They pass by the poor scaly sucker, though his drake does seem a little less trusting.
Within one of the small pyramids among the green dragon cult's ruined monastery, the Misthome adventurers continue to stay imprisoned. Guards arrive and drag off the elf Flearikz, taunting the others in the process, while the neighboring cells are full of nervous chatter from the captives from Place-of-Scales. When a ruckuss breaks out at the monastery's walls, the two guards move to the entrance of the structure's dungeon, giving these heroes their chance to break out. And true enough, the main body of PCs has breached the outer wall of the ruin, alerting the green dragon cultists within, including the young dragon itself, Pergeron and Mosshe the Markswyrm. A frenetic and violent battle breaks out, with the chained and malnourished dragonborn prisoners staring on in shock and desperation...
The PCs take a hammering, but through a mixture of might and magic they manage to bring down most of the ground guards and their pets, even Pergeron eventually falls. By this point, the PCs held captive have now managed to break free and take on their two guards with nary but their skills, spells and bare hands, and they have grabbed their weapons and begun to fight out in the monastery. After a grueling trial, Borracho manages to let loose the final spell to bring the young green dragon crashing, before he is himself laid low by the drake guard-dogs. As the two groups of PCs, one recently liberated and fresh for battle, and the other weary and largely unconscious, the dwarf bard clings on desperately for life...a contest which will only be determined by the roll of a die...
