The party talks a short bit then teleports to Highvail.  They appear in the corner of the park.  It is snowing and most of the party sinks about three feet into the snow.  It is fairly dark due to storm clouds circling around the city. They don’t see any tracks in the snow around the park, but do see some strange owl like birds in the trees.  As the party was invisible they make their way to the closest dragon that Hammar detects with his white dragon armour. It is located over in the temple distract. As they are on the way Othello hears something inside one of the buildings and some weird tentacle bird creature heads towards Hammar who is making some noise.  It gets blasted out of the air by Gubikla.

They make if over to where all the temples have been demolished except the temple of Dithart.   It appears that the roof was either clawed out or pushed out from within. There are wagon tracks up and down the road in front of the temple.  In fact the party ran across some tracks and traced them back here. Here they find wagon with a hairy ox like creature pulling it up to the temple.  About a dozen koboles like creatures jump out and make a line into the temple where they hand down silvered object they had scavenged from around the city.  Plates, trays, pitchers, utensils and the like.

Gubikla uses his new hat to transform some ruble into a rabbit and sets it loose across the road.  They see it one tells the others to be quite while he shoots it with a crossbow. The group starts passing items into the temple again and the one goes after the dead rabbit.  As the this happens Talin is able to sneak into the temple. Othello has managed to make to to the roof and is peering down from the hole. Gubikla uses a illusion spell to make the rabbit ask why did you kill me.  But it goes off poorly and instead meows. This startels the creature and basically at that same time Talin attacks the ones inside the building.

There appears to be a large creature in the far corner of the building.  Othello makes his way along the edge to get a closer look. The others are fighting the creatures outside.  Before the ones swarm Talin, he manages to cast a fire wall horizontal along the back wall. In hopes of pining it to the ground if it could fly.  This lit up a medium size white dragon. Othello seeing this shoots it in the left eye and is able to blind it at least from that side. Knowing enemies have come into his home the dragon breathes ice on the party that is mostly inside now.  Most are able to evade some of the breath. The party advance on the dragon and Othello manages to shoot the other eye. Now that it is completely blind it crashes through the wall but the party manages to cut him down before it got to far.

The party takes a short rest and find another wagon approaching.  They manage to hid in a attempt to amish them but Othello gives it away with his draconic accent. Gubikla manages to web the creatures in and around the wagon.  After many failed attempts to get them to surrender, the party manages to capture one. On questioning there are at least three wagons, three dragons in the area.  The dragons are making the storm.

COD = Othello for managing to completely blind the dragon
