The Dragon Hunt
Despite their high intelligence and rhetorical skills, when evil dragons perceive other species, they revert to their basest primal instincts. Like a giant, mindless, flesh-eating leech, they consider everything other than themselves food. A rumor has spread among the crusaders about a large and vicious dragon that has been raiding the scout patrols. This particular specimen does not seem remotely concerned by their weapons. She swoops down onto the soldiers, and then flies away, having snatched several victims to devour in her lair.
Objectives
- Talk to the bounty hunter in the tavernGiven their lack of experience in dragon hunting, it is unlikely that the crusaders will meet with much success in their attempt to track down and kill such a cunning, adult specimen. However, Irabeth claims that a reputable bounty hunter is currently staying in the town's tavern. It would be wise to seek his help.
- Hire GreyborThe bounty hunter is more than willing to assist in tracking down the dragon. However, he is only willing to do so for a substantial, though entirely reasonable, fee.
- Travel with Greybor to the Grimwood and set up an ambush for the dragonGreybor claims that he has a plan to track down this dragon. The first step is to set up an ambush in the Grimwood Forest.
- Track down the dragonThe dragon was deeply wounded. As she fled, she left behind a trail of blood that the bounty hunter can use to track her to her lair.
- Kill the dragon in her lairThe dragon's lair has been discovered. It is of vital importance that the Commander finish off the dragon, rather than allow her to escape again and recover from her wounds.
- Track down and kill the dragon in the Ivory SanctumFortune favors the Commander today. The dragon that has lately been abducting {mf|his|her} people was recently spotted by a crusader regiment as she flew toward the Ivory Sanctum. The Commander has a chance to put an end to her atrocities.
- Inform Irabeth of the victoryThe dragon is dead. However, the people of Drezen do not yet know that her reign of terror has ended. No doubt Irabeth will spread the news throughout the city as soon as the Commander informs her of {mf|his|her} victory.
- The bounty hunter swears that he will be able to lure out the dragon. All that is needed is a suitable place for an ambush
- The bounty hunter managed to locate the place where the exhausted dragon landed. The tracks reveal that after a brief respite, she headed somewhere further south
- The dragon escaped again, and now she will be far more careful. There is no point in continuing the hunt, and the Commander can only hope for another chance to fight and kill the dragon. There is no doubt this opportunity will present itself, since dragons are infamous for their rancor and vindictiveness
