Level Progression

After the last session, the party has completed 7 out of 10 encounters on the way to level 5.

I'll take what's behind curtain #1

After resting from your first encounter with the bugbears, the party ventured further into the dragon's lair. Ottan scouted ahead, finding the remaining buggies huddled around their chief in an antechamber dominated by two peculiar features: a roughly built barricade constructed against a seemingly blank section of stone wall and a flimsy curtain stretched across the northwest corner of the room.


No sooner had the rogue relayed his scouting information to the group, then the druid charged from the tight passage into the fray.


Alone.


Only a well timed heal from the dwarf kept the now unconscious druid from being carried away behind the ominous curtain.


Killing off the last of the bugbears, the rogue checked behind the curtain only to beat a hasty retreat upon finding a sleeping dragon within a large cavern. The party tore down their hastily erected barricade and shoved open the not so secret door leading into the main section of the underground cavern. After dealing with two large snakes and one very un-flame retardant tree in an underground oasis, the party squeezed through a fissure in the cavern wall to find a sentry of the Blood cult stationed in a dark passage. The party withdrew back into the shadows to rest and plan how to proceed.
