The Heroes spend a night in Neverwinter, and then travel to Thundertree. They experience first-hand the destruction that the Cult of the Dragon has brought to the landscape, combined with the magical influence of the dragon claiming the region has his lair. At the outskirts of Thundertree they face a patrol of cultist, evil men able to summon the elemental fury of the dragons they're aligned to. The Heroes take care of the cultists, and approach the town as stealthy as possible.
In one of the abandoned and ruined buildings, they meet of group of street urchins, hiding from the Cult forces. They show the Heroes a "shortcut" to reach the tower from where the dragon and its rider command the Cult troops. Unfortunately, the area they need to go through is infested with dangerous plants: the Heroes must destroy several shambling mounds, before getting in sight of the tower.
Enraged by the dragon's evil, Olo shoots an arrow from cover, killing a cultist, but alerting his companions of their presence. The cultists attack in great numbers, but the Heroes righteous fury is not to be trifled with. After an intense fight with the thugs, there's no rest for the Heroes, as Chuth and Neronvain descend upon them.
The Heroes, having learned a lot from their previous battles against dragons, take to the air with magic or by climbing trees, and focus their attacks first on Neronvain. When the elven prince falls, Tarkin keeps Chuth busy, blocking is way and suffering the main brunt of the wyrm's attacks. Claws, fangs, and poisonous breath assault the Heroes, but even the mighty Chuth falls when Kerrik shoots him one last time with his deadly arrows.
