4U 12: Magma Dragons

The RPG SAGA continues in the 4th Universe with "The Dream Team" of:
Koriel "Kori" the aasimar (human-looking) arcane archer,
"Puff" the gnome dream druid,
Aegle the winged elf kensei monk,
and their allies...

DM Note
Before the session started, I made sure to tell the players that I have been enjoying the campaign and they hadn't done anything to upset me; I wasn't trying to punish them or purposely kill off their characters, but I wanted them to know they had wandered into a deadly area on their own and it might not go well for the party. As always, they impressed me with their strategy as they miraculously escaped a TPK.

4U Session 12 Log
Homebrew Campaign (Alternate Forgotten Realms)
[Modules: Modified -----]
The team (Kori, Puff, Aegle, Frazzle, Acidfire, the 3 kobold allies, the 2 leatherworkers, and the captured modron) teleported into the lava level beneath Obsidian Fang - with most of them falling into the lava. Only Kori and Puff had land to stand on; Aegle was able to fly and temporarily save a kobold and one of the leather workers - but in the end only Kori, Puff, and Aegle lived through the encounter because there were 2 magma dragons and 2 fire elementals that attacked them.

After killing the monsters, the survivors found themselves overheated by the environment and realized they needed to escape. They took the dead dragon heads and claws with them. They also recovered the obsidian scythe (assuming that Mel was dead) and used it as their portal key to get back up to the celler level.

Thanks to Puff's dream druid abilities, they were able to hide and rest in the swamp before making it to the mountains. Puff's jade crown taught him the ritual to replace his eyes with the fire-emeralds from the magma dragons. After Puff got his new magic vision, the team decided to head north, along the edge of the mountains and up the Delimbyr river in hopes that they could trade magic items at Elvenport. They safely made their way there, where they were greeted by friendly elves, half-elves, and eladrin citizens of a walled elven city with a beautiful palace.

First they traded out gear and handed over their displacer beast and dragon body parts to magic-smiths to make them new items; the elves said it would take a year to make everything they wanted. The team visited with the eladrin prince leader of the city; the prince liked them and told them they could live in the palace for the year. Aegle even got the prince to agree to provide art supplies so he could start working on making paintings detailing the stories of his adventures.
