Upon searching through Baygeord’s horde, some ‘fat loot’ was found as describe by the party. Most notable of which was a messenger satchel, the type that allows for the instantaneous transference of written correspondence.
Inside of Baygeord’s pouch a most unsettling message was available.
“Sister, you must act quickly. Father has found the Codex Ignus. He will use it to burn the wode, he still believes it’s guardian is in possession of the Codex Dryadalis. With the power it holds he will begin his final war. We must find it before him. You know the consequences if you fail.”
The party has spurred a potential ally, and uncovered the Red Snake’s, the Giant Red Dragon’s, initial plan.
Upon reading this new development, the party went to the Queen of the Forest and convinced her to assist with their approaching worm problem. A battalion of birds, summoned at their will.
A battalion of birds was not the only development. For a battalion of hobgoblins, 50 of them, was fast approaching.
