Ruff Conclave Slays Dragon

---

I recently heard tales of a young dragon named Cryovain invading the Sword mountains in the Neverwinter region. I set out on a journey to see what kind of hero's would try to confront the dragon and I was not disappointed. unfortunately, by the time i arrived in Phandalin (a small town close to the sword mountains) the dragon had been killed by a guild of hero's named Ruff Conclave (Subject A). This Guild consists of Grundledorf the green - Elf Wizard, Joro Jook - Halfling Barbarian, Sythrix Tiphesuun Rhazuun - Dragonborn Druid, and Daisy - some kind of humanoid chicken wizard.

After speaking with the citizens of Phandalin there seem to be some mixed views on Ruff Conclave some calling them barbaric and even immoral. There are varying accounts of their heroic tales, for example - they saved the town mayor Taubin from a house fire that some villagers suspect they caused. fires also seem to follow this group where ever they go, multiple villages have burned down during their visit. when questioned on this a member told me there had been zombie like creatures in a village and they were trying to protect the town. one account from Oracle (of the trees) says "They have burned down multiple villages" please note Oracle said this with pleasure as she does not approve of trees being cut down for shelter. Another rumor from the village is a member had even asked for a reward before saving someone from a burning building.

Although there are many concerns it is confirmed Ruff Conclave cut down the white dragon. An account from one of the members stated they had built an army of animals - low level animals - and took them up the mountain. They even took the beloved Petunia a cow from Phandalin up the mountain to kill the dragon. There was a fierce battle and a previous member, who is now deceased, had added glyphs to all of the animals so when they were killed by the dragon they would explode. While a somewhat genius idea it was quite unethical.

Now the dragon has been slain Joro Jook (Jojo Siwa) has decided to retire from the party's adventures and intends to settle down in their tavern while the rest of the party adventures. They have been told of the dragon sighting in Greenest where they intend to go next. I have decided to join their group to document the party's actions no matter how heinous they may be. When I told Joro Jook of my intentions to stay with the party he said the following "They cheat, lie, steal but not the dragon one he's the good-un. Be careful"

Oracle (of the trees)

Another new addition to the party is Oracle (of the trees) - a wood elf druid. She seems to be a bit strange as she hasn't had much contact with anyone other than animals and trees for quite some time but she intends on stopping the group from harming anymore poor defenseless creatures aka dragons. Oracle seems to be very fond of any creature other than humans. She was disgusted by my use of a paper notebooks so once we came upon dead bodies on our travels she carved their skin for me to fashion a new note book from, which works surprisingly well.  

Sir Tarkus Dantioch son of Barnabbous Dantioch

The last new addition to Ruff Conclave is Sir Tarkus Dantioch son of Barnabbous Dantioch, protector of the halfling realms - a halfling paladin. A man of many speeches, he has a strong sense of justice and does not possess the ability to lie which may come in useful to unveil the truths i am after. His motivations for joining the party seem to be all for protecting the halfling realm as his name may suggest. He shall be the first i interview on my adventures.
