Combat / Exploration

After preparing their newly purchased cart, the party leaves the city and travels along the open road. Near a small village, they hear a roaring sound as a young red dragon crashes a civilian airship into the ground. The dragon immediately begins killing commoners, forcing the party into combat. Grover summons giant wasps to distract the beast, while Fenwick blasts it with spells and Vadis lands heavy smites. After slaying the dragon, they meticulously harvest 15 vials of its blood, its pristine skull, and bones. Later on the road, they encounter a traveling turtle merchant named WM, trading the pristine dragon skull for a Bag of Holding and a Bag of Colding. Before the session ends, Fenwick is ambushed and dragged into his new bag by the legendary Bagman.
