We try find some locals to tell us about the dragon attacks. Some guards tell us that attacks keep happening in the upper city. They've got the upper city "Taken care of". We head to lower city and smell charred wood. There's flaming fist by the gate with cannons, as we pass one of them says "Its your funeral" The city is half destroyed. Buildings are ruined, no roofs. The Duke gave the order of no protection for the lower city. We decide to go to the castle to speak to the Duke. It is completely surrounded by flaming fist and automitons. WE try to talk to the captain to gain access to the keep to speak to the Duke. He's an ass. Captain Faye who follows orders. When the captain walks off Ellette and Kyo start discussing the guards resolve in standing there and doing nothing during the dragon attacks. One guard gets pissed off. The automitons in the area activate. The remaining guards point their weapons at us. The dragon flies across casting a shadow across the group as it starts its attack on the lower city. The party make one last snide comment to the guards before running to the lower city. When we get to the wall the guards are holding at the gate. Ellette picks up Kyo and flies to the top of the wall. They seem to be holding the hoard back well at each entrance. The temples are in this area. This is the area where the fight with the elder brain occured. We spot the magic emporium still standing in the centre. We decide to head there. Ellette lies back down with Kyo explains the plan. Once the hoard dies off and we head into the lower city. There is a magic barrier surrounding the magic emporium. It's a very strong barrier. All the doors are locked down. Steve tries to find a good rock to throw at the barrier. The rock goes through the barrier and rolls back. Steve touches the barrier, she can no longer mold earth. She pushes through and hits another barrier. Globe of invulnerability covered with an anti magic field. Ellette flies around the barrier looking for an open window. There are no openings. Cedric plays some music and a face appears. We mention what we know. The door open a red teifling walks through the door. We explain we can help, he walks back inside and opens a barrier on a wall behind us. We have a discussion about the goings on, theres a cult underground. The dragon always flies south east as it leaves. We head back to the keep, Steve buys the dragon from a shadowy figure. We go back to speak to the captain. He asks for our price for going after the dragon. When he comes back. 15K, a trade agreement and anything we find in the hoard. We then head off to locate clerics.
