Editing The Dragon Cult (section)

== The Keep ==

=== The Dragon Attack ===
The blue dragon that accompanied the raid will attack between 23:00 and 00:00, regardless of what the players do.
His chief contribution to the raid is his Frightful Presence - but this is wearing off as the defenders are overcoming their fear. At 23:00, the dragon launches its final assault against the keep. 

Frulam Mondath - the Raid leader - orders the attack, knowing that the adventurers are in the keep at that time. 
*Lennithon flies over the keep, using his breath weapon when he is close enough, but always keeps at least 25ft distance. 
*There are 20 NPCs on the parapets, each of which take a shot at disadvantage +4 vs 19AC at him when he flies close. 
*Each round that Lennithon uses his breath weapon, he kills 1d4 defenders and injures 1d6 more. These are replaced after a round.
**He doesn't explicitly target the PCs, but they take standard damage (12d10 lightning) if hit. DC 19 dex save. 

Lennithon departs after taking 24 damage, or a critical hit - flying off towards the east when he does so. 

=== Support ===
Every time the players successfully return from a mission they will be given support from NPCs. 
*Governess Marlyne Faering will be around for information and tactical advice. She will also occasionally give the players 'rewards'.
** Bringing back a prisoner alive will net them a Potion of Heroism and 2 Potions of healing. She knows what these potions are, saying she saved them in case of dire need.
** Bringing back 10 or more villagers will net them a wand of Magic Missiles 
*Escobert can provide them with some support of the militia, if they ask for it.
