An unexpected ally
A few days into the journey the adventurers heard a battle over the next ridge. Getting there closer they saw a Half-orc warrior surrounded by monsters. Most did not prove a challenge and went down quickly. The warrior was a mercenary by the name of Bartholomew Zigzag. He agreed to join the party in their search for glory and treasure.

The Dragon lair loomed in the distance. A collapsed stone bridge led to the entrance. Cautiously the group approached the entrance. Piles of gold were inside the cave but no dragon. Finally a lucky break and the tail of the dragon was visible. With a mighty roar he attacked but the party was ready. Fulgerica teleported a flask of oil on top of the dragon and lighted it with a fireball. The blast did no damage but it turned him into a torch, for all to see. Spells started flying and the steel clashed on dragon hide, the party managed to defeat the dragon finally.

The cave was full of gold and also a few magic items. A vampire sword and some items used to increase the power of the characters at the cost of their body. A small tunnel at the back of the cave lead to an underground complex.

The complex was inhabited by a lot of...ghosts. Fulgerica started singing for them and they agreed to talk. After a few minutes the party discovered there is a shortcut to the Palace of Memory. The road was long so after a rest the journey continued.
