Madness! Madness!

The battle of Skull Gorge Bridge raged on, with Thelonous joining the fray. Tired of the mighty slashes by Petra's greatsword, the dragon Ozyrrandion yelled to the hobgoblins to rip her off her horse. They grabbed her repeatedly, yanking her to the ground, while the bugbear Koth fired magic missiles and lightning bolts at SWAG.

SWAG fired arrows, magic missiles and fireballs, while Red stormed across the bridge to engage the foes. Petra rose, enduring opportunity attacks and leaping onto her horse with a grand fast mount. Red and Petra then began slashing away at the hobgoblins, dropping them left and right. DeKelley raced to heal all of the wounds caused by the hobgoblins and dragon.

With the battle turning against the Red Hand, Ozyrrandion the dragon retrieved an invisibility potion while Koth drank a fly potion to flee. The dragon made one last appearance, enduring yet another fireball before unleashing his acid breath attack and diving into the gorge to make his escape.

With the battle won, SWAG spent an hour searching the bridge and the camp, finding a weak spot in the bridge. Red hacked away at it collapsing it into the river 150' below.

SWAG pressed on to Cinder Hill. Late in the afternoon of Flocktime 12, SWAG saw the full picture of the Red Hand menace. A vast encampment in the valley below Cinder Hill of thousands of goblins, hobgoblins, and worgs, joined by dozens of giants, siege engines, and other creatures such as manticores and a red dragon swooping overhead.
