Though it is suggested to have this encounter on a road- side, it could appear anywhere. Have fun with it and always feel free to change it however you like, BACKGROUND A young brass dragon, Veerox, is prowling for food in the nearby area, his mate is weak and about to lay her eggs. However, all the game in the nearby area has vanished due to his intimidating presence. So he has become desperate and hunts for anything he could feed his mate. ENCOUNTER SUMMARY Veerox has laid a trap to an old Shortcut where he will Sleep Breath an unknowing group of travellers, deliver them to his den, and feed his mate. If he fails in pacifying the party, he will attempt to knock them unconscious. If the party awakes in the cave, they will need to perform a skill challenge in order to escape before being eaten. INTRODUCTION — The adventurers come to a blocked part of the road. Wagons, carriages, and other debris piled in front of them. A sign reads “Beware, DRAGONS. No entry” and next to the pile of debris is a pathway lead- ing to a smaller road, another sign reads “Old Shortcut” A successful DC 12 Intelligence (Investigation) check will reveal that the writing on the signs is Jagged and scratched. Regardless of which direction the party chooses to go, Veerox will be waiting. > THE CavE Ifthe party is brought to the cave, they will be placed next to the small hoard of 800gp the dragons have gathered together. Attempting an escape can go either of two ways; the party may come up with their own plan of escape, or you may have them perform a skill challenge. Each party member decides what they will do to escape the cave with a DC of 15 for each skill check. Ifeveryone succeeds, the party escapes without a trace. If more than half succeed, the party escapes but Veerox is aware and attempts to hunt them down later. If more than half fail, they still escape but an angry Veerox will blast his fire breath on the escaping party. Ifeveryone fails, they do not escape and may have to fight their way out of the cave, CoNncLUSIONS The party can attempt an escape from the lait, but they may also try to help Veerox's mate, Vorska. A Succ: from any party member will allow them to help, and offer Vorska food or aid in her egg-laying. If they are successful in helping her, the two Drag- ons will thank them and let them leave peacefully ful DC 10 Persuasion checkOtherwordly Patron The Dragon Fear above all else, your Patron is a being from legends, Feared even by the strongest of monsters, a myth among mortals, The story and reputation of the Dragon is what grants them their power.
