Tablestats - The Burning of Belguria

Ben Dover, Boarshield the Glorious, Peter "Vicious" Hammerman, Dao Fei, and Timm Gunn were happenstance traveling companions on the road to the small town of Belguria. Upon seeing a column of smoke billowing into the atmosphere from their destination, they continued forward to the town. They discovered that the damage was significant and extensive, with the whole town burnt nearly to the ground. They discovered the source of the damage - a Flame Drake, sleeping in the ruins of the temple. Instead of attacking it, however, they decided to speak to it, and through carefully navigating the minefield that was a conversation with a giant fire-spewing lizard, discovered that its egg had been stolen, and it was searching for it by burning everything to the ground. Siding with the distraught parent's plight, the party sought out the wizard who lived in the still-standing pristine mansion on the hill nearby. He was, however, not there. They found that the wizard himself had absconded with the egg, and left his apprentices and the few scorched survivors of the town itself to fend for themselves. After some discussion, the party safely evacuated all of the survivors and gave the Drake the opportunity to burn the mansion down in revenge, with hopes that the wizard himself would arrive.

For safely handling three CR 5 encounters and navigating circumstances with difficult-to-discern CR, the PCs gain 5 Downtime Days, 1500xp, and 1725gp.
