Session 5

"You smell it first, charred flesh, soot. BAM! The wood splinters as the door to your room is forced open, and a Psurlon marches inside, smoke still rising from its body after the battle. Its once blue and purple robes are marred with flame bitten edges and blackened holes. The Psurlon searches the room, but you and your friends are long gone, the only remnants of your stay being Lykada'ath's chest in the corner of the room, and the strange markings on the wall. Markings which the Psurlon is peering very closely at, eventually running one of its three fingered hands over the symbol, then nodding and lumbering out of the room. Your chest burns and for a moment you see nothing but flames, as you hear the roar of not one or two, but 5 dragons in the distance. You awake, and find yourself back in your new chambers at the Carved Chain Inn in Brightshell Harbor, chest aching...you can almost smell smoke in the air."
