Ash returns to the GM chair as the Yuan-ti Climax reaches its explosive third chapter.

With Draven apparently captured by the mysterious Green Dragon, the party formulate a daring rescue plan. Gash prepares to cause a fiery distraction while Darvin, Blud and Olgrim sneak into the Yuan-ti camp to save their companion.

Only… things don’t quite go to plan.

A chance meeting with a mysterious Tabaxi monk named Leadfoot gives the party an unexpected ally, but when they finally rescue Draven, something feels wrong.

His story doesn’t add up.

His answers are suspicious.

And somehow, against all odds, Darvin is the one who notices.

Following the trail of the magical vines into the ancient ziggurat, the adventurers overcome a puzzle of sun and moon, uncover the source of the corruption, and put their trust in the one person nobody expected to solve the mystery.

The Goliath with the Hew-Fagina.

But Darvin’s moment of brilliance comes at a cost.

Because the “Draven” they rescued was never Draven at all.

It was Azharet the Green Dragon, hiding behind a stolen face.

With the deception revealed and the dragon fleeing into the darkness, the party race deeper into the temple searching for answers before it returns.

What they find instead is a chained creature trapped in magical silence.

A creature with a gaze capable of turning flesh to stone.

And Darvin, fresh from his greatest intellectual achievement, immediately proves he is still Darvin.
