Episode notes
Dragons Are Myth Returned
- Elga and Mati tag-team dragon lore to explain dragons as large, fearsome creatures thought extinct for 300 years.
- The party learns dragons once ruled the land, fought a draconic war, and Skelegon’s appearance breaks long-held myths.
Treat Time Limits As Tactical Constraints
- The party gets a strict one-day deadline from Skelegon to return the crystal or face destruction.
- They accept time-limited rescue as strategic: short rest ok, long rest impossible given the 24-hour constraint.
Windmuhle Hides A Collapsed Core
- The Windmuhle tower contains a collapsed central sinkhole filled with murky water and floating debris.
- Tracks skirt the sinkhole eastward toward stairs, revealing a clear path and hidden hazards like electified iron doors.
