The session began with a discussion about a Ring of Spell Storing the party had acquired. They debated who should hold it and what spells should be placed inside. Good Morning explained how the ring could allow for more simultaneous concentration spells. They decided to load it with spells like healing word, fairy fire, and dissonant whispers, and also considered bless and elemental resistance for a potential dragon fight. The party agreed to finalize the spells after a long rest.
The group then focused on how to cross the river they had encountered previously. Good Morning jokingly suggested using the roper's tentacle, but they ultimately used a rope. They then moved towards the underground lake, anticipating an encounter with a dragon based on rumors.
Before facing the dragon, the party took a long rest in the chieftain's area. During the rest, Good Morning played strange radio broadcasts. Tech claimed to hear something else in the background. Good Morning gave the Ring of Spell Storing to another party member.
After the rest, Garrett, the guide, led them through a winding cavern system to the black lake. Tech drank a potion of invisibility to scout ahead. He successfully crossed a bridge, noticing that the stone had been pitted by acid, confirming the presence of a black dragon. He continued to another bridge which seemed weaker but he crossed safely.
Tech reached a large lake and spotted a young black dragon sleeping on a hoard on a small island. He also saw evidence of a larger reptilian creature's tracks. He returned to the group and reported his findings, including the dragon's young age and the presence of treasure.
The party discussed their plan of attack. Tech drank a potion of climbing to scale the cavern walls. Good Morning used the Ring of Spell Storing to cast Bless on some of the party members. Hedar cast Shield of Faith on Tech.
The fight began with Hedar launching magical attacks, and Good Morning attempting to dislodge stalactites above the dragon. One stalactite hit the dragon, dealing damage and waking it up. Tech fired a crossbow bolt and jumped into the water. Vila raged and attacked the dragon with her longsword.
The dragon, revealed to be female, attacked, downing Tech with its breath weapon. It then attempted to flee. Vila gave Tech a potion of healing. Tech then used his action to drink another potion of healing he found amidst the hoard.
Hedar continued to attack the fleeing dragon with spells, including a guiding bolt that struck it as it flew away, causing it to crash into a bridge.
The party quickly looted the dragon's hoard, finding gold and silver pieces, a black pearl, garnets, a Great Axe +2, a Potion of Flying, an empty Potion of Healing, a Shield +1, and a Wand of Magic Missiles.
After looting, the party decided to return to town to claim their reward for mapping the area. They discussed selling some of the magic items they found, particularly a Longsword +1 and the Great Axe +2. The person who hired them offered a substantial amount of gold for these items.
The Game Master announced that this was the end of the “Forge of Fury” module. For the next session, they would be starting a new module, “The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan,” for fifth-level characters with a plus one weapon. Players could either continue with their current characters (leveling them up) or create new ones. Several players indicated they would be creating new characters. They discussed what to do with the money earned from the “Forge of Fury” adventure, with a suggestion that new characters would start with whatever their previous character had. The session concluded with everyone expressing their enjoyment of the campaign.
