It is around 5-6pm and the group is discussing what to do next. We choose to explore the southern caves and come across a door that Pearl is able to open. We fight off some zombie bois and search the room but find nothing of importance. We explore the cavern more and discover a store room. Caulkin and Glittr explore the store room and discover nothing of importance. Glittr picks up a small rock for Droop and we then exit the cave. 

We enter Phlandalin and head right back to the StoneWall Inn. Gundren and Nundrow reunite and start talking. Sildar comes over and takes the Black Spider and agrees to bring him to Neverwinter tomorrow. The Black Spider is locked up in the cells and we have his bag of tricks so there is no worry about his magic being used to help him escape.

• At the bar, Caulkin reconsiders hiding the Potion of Flying that he hid from his party, Brylwynn reads the book on WEC, Pearl identifies items and identities some powerful items for us. 

• Our magic items no longer glow with power. 

Qualine comes up and talks to Yrdlyn and shares that Droop has been living with her since we have been gone. She asks Yrdyln why she did not join the Enclave. The group decides to fight the dragon that is in The Thunderdome. 

At the Thunderdome, Ari and Caulkin step aside and talk and he shares he stole the Potion of Flying because he is setting out to kill the man who killed his father. He gives it back to her because he feels as if he is stronger than he previously thought.

• We know the dragon is green in color and it is rather young. Ari remembers that there are chromatic dragons (such as green) and metallic dragons, which spew evil. Pearl (a silver dragon) chimes in and knows that green dragons skew towards poison. 

We very slowly enter the cottage where a dragon is suspected to be hiding. Ari peers through a peep hole and sees a staircase upwards with an open wooden chest on the floor. 

• In the adjacent room, we see a large tree dragon with leathery wings. It is about 10’ tall and covered with green scales. Ari and the dragon talk. Ari asks the dragon for gold and she agrees for an amount that we feel is fair. The dragon introduces herself as Venomfang. 

• Venomfang and the group chat for a bit while Caulkin and Ari try to sweet talk and persuade her. After a long conversation, a fight ensues!
