Ambush Dragon's Ember Cache

After driving off the ambush dragon that had been preying on a farmers' road, the party pries open a shallow, scorched hollow beneath a collapsed grove root. Inside are the dragon's recent picks: coins and trade gemstones taken from caravans, a few small art pieces the wyrm once admired, and practical items saved for emergencies. The dragon kept one potion and a few choice stones close to its hoard for quick healing and beautification. Among the finds is a single scale still warm from the dragon, which could be used as a trophy or as a crafting ingredient for trinkets or low-level charms. The haul is modest but fitting for a small dragon that prefers quick raids over centuries of hoarding.
