The Opening

“A frantic merchant claims a massive sapphire, the 'Eye of the Storm', was snatched by blue-scaled kobolds. They have retreated to their mountain lair to offer it to their draconic master. You must recover the gem before the dragon returns to claim its tribute.”

— Hook · Retrieve

Set the Scene

The party stands at the base of a jagged cliffside where a narrow, sulfur-smelling tunnel leads into the dark. Thunder rumbles in a cloudless sky.

Rumours

d3 · table
  1. 01
    The kobolds have been raiding trade caravans specifically for blue objects.
  2. 02
    A strange humming sound has been coming from the Cragspire peaks since the sapphire was taken.
  3. 03
    The local merchant, Valerius, seems more terrified of the dragon than he is sad about the money.
Stakes

If the players fail, the kobolds complete the ritual, granting them supernatural strength and ensuring the dragon's immediate and vengeful return to the region.

Ticking Clock·The Dragon's Return: Every time the party takes a short rest, roll a d20. On a 18 or higher, the dragon is spotted circling the peak, reducing the time for escape.

Background Lore

The Cragspire kobolds serve Iyrith, a young blue dragon who treats the mountain as her private larder. They believe the sapphire is a holy relic that will grant them the dragon's favor forever.

What the World Knows

A band of kobold raiders stole a priceless gemstone from a merchant's carriage. The gem is currently held in a ritual chamber deep within the Cragspire tunnels.
