Target Monster
Name: Adult Boreal Dragon
Type: Dragon
CR: 17
Legendary: No
An adult boreal dragon is a huge northern dragon of frost and spark, a savage apex predator that combines aerial dominance with brutal cold-weather presence.
Mission Frame
Employer: Harbor Factor
Objective: Force the threat to withdraw
Secondary Pressure: Time matters. The danger around Mountain will worsen if the party delays.
Escalation: The employer is nearing a desperate choice that will worsen the situation or cost innocent lives.
Hook and Signs
Hook: A tax collector vanished on a clear route through Mountain. The chest was found unopened, but the guards were not.
Signs of the monster:
- Compasses, simple charms, or direction tricks fail or spin near the suspected lair.
- Thin crystals of frost cling to stone, wood, or bone in weather where they should melt instantly.
- A carcass lies on a ledge no mundane scavenger could have reached.
Twist: The lair contains young, eggs, or vulnerable dependents, and the moral cost of a direct kill is suddenly much higher.
Rewards
Primary Reward: 985 gp and one notable item drawn from a guarded hoard.
Secondary Reward: Relic reward: Storm Fang Clasp
Storm Fang Clasp
Form: brooch
A polished fang mount that smells faintly of ozone after rain.
