==== Arrival at Ironslag ====
After 3 days of travel, the adventurers arrive at [[Ironslag]]. It’s a huge place that has a number of entrances. There is a path that winds hundreds of feet up to the mountaintop where there is a [[yakfolk]] village.

[[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] flies up to check things out. She notices a cave halfway up the winding path. She yells into it. A creature inside responds with animal noises. After careful consideration, [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] thinks it sounds like a snakehorse. It's not. It is a chimera.

The chimera lunges for her. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] had been hoping they could be friends. It bites her and she continues to call it a snakehorse, or "Snorse". 

It breathes fire on her. Far off, the group sees a gout of flame erupt from the cave mouth. She takes 31 points of damage! The heroes try to figure out how to get to her in a swift manner.

[[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] is dismayed. Her brand new clothes are destroyed. Later, the players are alerted by the chat that prestidigitation can fix up the clothing.

The group is 150 feet below the scene of the battle. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] uses ''dimension door'' to take himself and [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] up there. [[Strix]] ''polymorphs'' into a vulture and flies up. [[Harshnag]] has to hoof it. He sends his giant bird to go help.

Meanwhile, in the cave, [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] is taking a lot of damage. She has 10 hit points left. The chimera hits her again and drops her.

[[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] and [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] appear in the cave. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] casts crown of madness, forcing the lion head to attack the dragon head.

As the battle progresses, [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] ends up on the chimera as it flies out of the cave and fights [[Harshnag]]'s giant hawk. He's 350 feet in the air. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] stabs the chimera and tries to run on its back and leap back to the safety of the cave.

[[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] rolls a 4 on his Athletics check. He falls! [[Strix]] is in vulture form and catches him. The chimera kills itself due to the ''crown of madness''.

[[Strix]] wants the corpse. [[Harshnag]] tries to catch it as it falls, but he tweaks his back and it falls all the way down to the ground below.

The heroes try to make a heal check on [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]]. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] uses his bardic inspiration to give +d8 to the roll.  The group is so impressed that they demand he get an actual inspiration point. [[Chris Perkins|Chris]] gives him one.

There's loot in the cave:
* Dust of Disappearance
* Potion of Slipperyness
* Other random stuff, like a gnomish music box
Everyone rests. When it is done, [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] is up and healed. She apologizes to the group for failing to protect them. [[Harshnag]] consoles her, talking about danger. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]]: "In the end, the chimera's greatest enemy was itself." 

==== The Yakfolk Village ====
[[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] scouts out the [[yakfolk]] village. He comes back and tells the group the layout. [[Strix]] feels bad about disrupting the lives of the [[yakfolk]]. She wants to ''polymorph'' into the form of a [[yakfolk]] to infiltrate their place.

The group ends up making an elaborate plan and they execute it. [[Harshnag]] and [[Krak Dragonspore|Krak]] attack an area of the settlement while [[Strix]] ends up blowing up a bridge. The heroes rush for the entrance amidst the chaos.

Then they see the [[yakfolk]] dragging their slaves out of their huts. The [[Yakfolk|yakmen]] begin killing them! End of session.{{Episode nav|state=expanded}}
