Ash on the Embergate Bridge

The fight ended in a burst of cinders and river mist atop Embergate Bridge, leaving the Obsidian Tribunal dead or scattered and their supplies strewn across the stonework. Their gear is practical rather than lavish, with no unusual armor for beasts or improvised trophies, but the acolyte's ritual support and the blades' disciplined kit make the haul worthwhile for a 6th-level party. The ledger and sigil shard suggest the tribunal was guarding something larger than a toll route, and the recovered potions and scroll should help the party press the advantage before the next ember-lit patrol arrives.
