Hexcrawling in the Dark Country

We start today in a ruined manor in the Dark Country, the next day after our previous session. Ulf has somehow caught up to the rest of the party as they get ready to head out.

Yesterday, Thekla used a potion of Control Dragons to send a green dragon to attack the Corbies' nearby castle - we're not particularly fond of the group and they're know to have some magic items we're interested in.

We depart towards the castle in the morning, but as we draw near, a group of armored knights ride out to meet us.

"Oi! Fuck off!" they yell to us.

We see a great black shape laying near the castle - they had apparently downed the dragon without too much difficulty.

Turns out even a dragon can't take on 70+ guys with crossbows. We'll have to do better next time.

Treasure for the Taking

We decide instead to go off in search of the dragon's lair; Thekla managed to get that information from the dragon. We know it's out in the wilderness by the shrine of St. Richard the Prior, which we've been to previously.
