Stormvault of the Blue Drakescourge

The party stands amid a shattered vault beneath a wind-scorched bluff. The adult blue dragon's dominance over nearby kobold warrens explains the small traps and crude stolen goods scattered about. Orcs and bandits, once opportunistic raiders, had been drawn in and stripped to their weapons and coin before the dragon claimed the site as a lair. Among broken chests and singed tapestries the party recovers a mixture of common coin, merchant gemstones, practical supplies, and several magic items ripped from the dragon's private trove or scavenged from unlucky raiders. The dragon's scales and a carved tooth promise material for later crafting or sale, while the Bag of Holding and the wand offer immediate utility. The loot skews toward gear and items a level 5 party can use without unbalancing play, with one rarer ring to reward taking on such dangerous foes. The party will want to divide the mundane coin and gems, decide who attunes to the ring and cloak, and consider selling or commissioning work from a smith to make the dragon scales useful in future equipment.
