Melonie Mirkana, Maven Mirkana, Korbal Tallfort, and Oliver the dog, are on the way to Greenest. Melonie had learned that is was important to the cult she had had joined. Korbal had a vision that he had to head here. When the group finely see the town, they spot it is under-siege by a blue dragon, Lennithon. Melonie urges the others to rush in to help the town, Korbal agrees eagerly, Maven reluctantly follows.

As they enter the town proper, they see 5 Kobolds and some townsfolk. Linan Swift is protecting her injured husband Cuth Swift and their children. Melonie moves in with her whip to kill one. Maven casts Sleeps the other 4 Kobolds. Korbal then goes in to slay the sleeping Kobolds, then egotistically claims the credit. The group head to the keep for safety.

Elsewhere in town Trior Hizon has the roof to his Shrine to Helm destroyed, throwing his Helm leaflets everywhere. Outside he takes charge of the chaos and tells the civilians to head to the keep. The High Elf Solania in the crowd with the others. Before Trior and Solania can head to the keep themselves, they hear trouble from the town apothecary, and head off to help.

At the apothecary Trior and Solania find only to find 2 Kobolds, 1 Flying Kobold and a Cultist are there outside a burning building with an injured man on the ground. A flying Kobold drops a bolder on Trior, but Solania shoots that kobold out of the sky. Trior gets stabbed in the back by a Kobold as he charges the cultist. Solania kills 2 Kobold before getting the killing shot on the Cultist, who Trior was exchange blows.

Trior then runs into the burning building to save the apothecary's pet cat. Trior says he can't spend any spells on healing Solania right now, as they may need the heal more later.

The two parties meet up on the way to the keep. Korbal heals up Solania, seeing how injured she is, with some backhanded comments towards Trior.

The party reach the keep, and there are 4 kobolds, 2 cultists and a flying kobold outside. Maven casts sleep, knocking out 3 Kobolds. The awake Kobolds charge forwards who are slain as well as one Cultist. The other Cultist wakes up the sleeping kobolds. The last Cultist charges. Melonie is knocked unconscious. And the rest of the kobolds and cultist is killed. Melonie is revived by Trior, but Korbal tries to claim credit.

The blue dragon, Lennithon, lands, and everyone flees towards the keep. Oliver the dog is at the rear, carrying one of the Swift children, barely escapes Lennithon.
