Thundertree

Near the place where the Neverwinter River emerges from Neverwinter Wood stands the abandoned village of Thundertree. Once, this was a prosperous community on the outskirts of the forest, wealthy from the work of it's woodcutters and trappers. Then 30 years ago, the eruption of Mount Hotenow to the north devastated Thundertree. In the wake of the natural disaster, a plague of strange zombies swept over the area, killing or driving off those who survived the eruption.

The party was sent here by Qelline Alderleaf to search out her long time friend Reidoth the Druid since "there's not an inch of the land that he doesn't know."

Notable NPCs
Reidoth the Druid - A white-bearded human who doesn't use 2 words where one will do. Assisted the party in chasing off Venomfang/Louis.

Venomfang/Louis - A young green dragon that had taken up residence in the ruined watchtower. He was chased off by the party with the help of Reidoth.

The Party's Impact
During their visit to Thundertree, Our Party investigated the ruins, fighting off ash zombies, twig blights (baby groots), and Venomfang/Louis the Young Green Dragon. They also burned down the old Farmhouse in a successful attempt to take out a group of twig blights.

Venomfang
Tobias was able to treat with Venomfang in his lair on top of the ruined tower, and agreed to "hunt" the cultists in the area with him. After Kallista and Celandine where able to convince the cultist leader Favric that the dragon wished to meet with them, they headed back to the watchtower where Venomfang suddenly turned on everyone and wiped out the cultists, nearly taking down Tobias in the blast.

During the hard fought battle with the dragon, Tobias and Anwyn were both knocked unconscious and later saved by Reidoth. While Tobias, who was then polymorphed into an Owl Bear, was holding Venomfang off, Celandine was chasing down the coward Cultist Tim. Once captured, Tim was strung up in a tree to be used as distraction (successfully, as he was eviscerated).

Realizing that his small treasure hoard was not worth dying over Venomfang flew off, much to the relief of the party.

Wrap-up
Reidoth, after scolding the party for taking on the dragon, gave his thanks for their help, and invited Tobias to join the Emerald Enclave to help keep the balance of the natural order. Tobias accepted and was granted the title of "Springwarden".

With Venomfang gone, the party was able to loot his treasure hoard, as well as take a long, well deserved rest.
