Duriel, Elektrah, Brottor, Arden, Lucia

The party ventures off to find the cave where the children were taken. After two days travel, they find the cave and notice that the surrounding rocks are smooth and slightly pitted. They're able to hear a deep voice muttering and a high pitched shriek. The echo makes the voices too distorted to understand what they're saying. As they get closer, Arden is able to determine that the deep voice is talking about nightmares and fear. They follow the cave system to the back and find the main chamber of the cave system. Using on of his spells, Duriel keeps the party from be noticed. They see a large copper dragon with green splotches on its scales with a small child under its front claws. Across the room, there is a small cage with three huddled bodies in it. From this distance they're unable to determine if the children inside are alive.

Arden steps forward and starts questioning the dragon on its intentions and goals, trying to distract him so the rest of the party can circle around and release the caged children. The party is stopped when they come to another entrance to the chamber that has a draft coming in. They are concerned about the dragon picking up their scent as they are upwind from it. Lucia steps forward and dumps the cask of treasure in front of him who sweeps the treasure closer to him. They notice the dragon's eyes are cloudy and have a light glowing behind them. Arden says something that annoys the dragon, who dismisses him. The dragon slaps the child under its feet across the room, dazing it. Arden steps forward to heal and pick up the child.

Duriel is busy healing the children in the cage and planning on how to get them out of danger. Lucia makes her way over and unlocks the cage to make their escape a bit easier (and more, you know, possible). The dragon takes a deep breath to prepare his acid breath. Arden casts defensively causing the first bit of damage. The dragon breaths out and melts the child to a puddle of flesh. Arden takes a significant amount of damage but is still able to fight. Seeing what happened to the child, the party fights to avenge him. Lucia's eyes are bright blue and she attacks the dragon but is too emotional and misses dramatically.

After several blows (some particularly vicious ones from Brottor), the dragon is dead and the party breathes a sigh of relief. Arden revivifies the child that was melted by the dragon and the heals himself. Duriel takes two dragon teeth (to be made into blades, one for him, one for Lucia) and discovers the dragon has a gold necklace around its neck. Elektrah identifies it as a torq. Arden destroys the crude altar to Cyric in the back corner. Brottor helps gather the treasure and carry it back to the village.

After a few days of travel, they return to the village where they are celebrated as heroes for bringing their children back to them alive. Two of the children seem to have been broken mentally and are staying at the church for further healing. All of the children will need additional care for awhile. After checking the treasure for anything that might belong to the village (Brottor's suggestion), the party spends the next few days investigating their treasure and magic items.
