Roads Uncharted

S5 E11: Big Game Afoot

Episode Summary

The group tries to relax after a long day of travel, and instead get roped into a fight with a dragon.

Episode Notes

On their travels, the group runs into some traveling merchants and are able to purchase some paint and fabric. Their cart finally disguised, they carry on with less worry. When they set up for camp that night, they hear the sounds of fighting in the forest behind them. Curious as to the source, Rou and Trix sneak off to get a good look while Amara stays behind to tend the fire. 

They’re mostly successful in sneaking up on the source, which they find to be a trio of adventurers, with their dog, fighting a dragon. However, when their faces are lit up by a gout of flame the dragon spots them. The Dwarf in the group throws something explosive at the dragon, which keeps its attention from Rou and Trix. Thinking the trio could use some help, Rou joins in by lighting his sword and trying to kite the dragon. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work as well as he’d hoped. Trix takes a shot and is able to partially blind the dragon as they attempt to save their friend.

Amara eventually joins in the fray when the sounds of battle start moving closer, grabbing the hammer left by Dawson. When she arrives, they see two of the strangers knocked out and Rou and Trix engaged with the dragon. Rou strikes the dragon with his sword and sees metal shining when some of the scales chip off. Amara makes her strike just before the dragon takes off in the direction of Cragsward Mountains.
