The pirates had ransacked the town of Respite and stole 2 sapphire gems from the weathervane. This weathervane was the magic item protecting the city from the elemental plane located very nearby. We (some of us) rescued Pierre earlier (last week). We begin preparing to adventure further into the pirate (& dragon?) cave. Some new party members join us, having been sent from Respite to replace those who accompanied Pierre back to town. From the captive last week and from Pierre, we learned there are a couple known areas. There is a treasure trove. There is a kitchen. We expect there to be more pirates. There is a 2nd path. There is a dragon's nest. We choose a path. We hear pirates singing. We prepare for combat. We enter the cave. Combat 1 Init 13 Bless Great DM narration. The beat up assassin, glows purple. It complements his goth appearance. "Cool. So metal!" he says. We manage to leave 1 foe alive. We learned some information. The "captain" is the same as the dragon. It is called Sable Wing. The pirate was terrified to oppose Sable Wing. But as we eliminated his allies, he's fairly scared of us, too. He agrees that if we leave him alive he will escape and flee. We gather as much information as we can. His name is: J. C. Horace. Tandur gives him 74 gold since he's leaving without any of his, and he was so generous with information. Tandur (not sure of the intentions of the other party members) escorts him to the door. He departs through one set of doors. Entered on character sheet. We enter the pirates' treasure trove (the other door). We find 1 of the 2 sapphires. Tandur keeps it. We depart the cave. We take a short rest in the woods under cover. Although we detected the dragon flying around (and it seemed angry) (we assess that he learned all his pirate were dead or gone). After a short rest we move back in. We enter the dragon's cave. He taunts us by showing us the sapphire. "Oh, you want this?" Greenwich attempts to negotiate (being dragonborn). It didn't work, but it bought us maybe a round to spread a little. Nonetheless Combat 2; and almost all of us get hit with a breath attack. Eventuatlly, Sable Wing takes flight. We noticed where he flipped the sapphire. Meinfoo who had been in melee with Sable Wing from the start of combat, managed to collect the sapphire. He gestured to Tandur. Tandur said, it's time for us to depart. Most of us focused on getting out of the cave, while Greenwich distracted the dragon by attacking him. We managed to get away, all of use alive (except for Dr. Hoo). We return to the town. We are showered in gifts. The dragon, having lost his followers, decides to depart. End of session.
