Deep dives
Infiltration of Black Spire
The characters are engaged in a mission to infiltrate a fortified keep known as Black Spire, aiming to seize a large amount of gold intended to fund mercenary and conscripted armies within the Dragon Empire. This operation is not only critical due to the substantial sum of 50,000 pounds of gold—comprising numerous gold bars and other treasures—but also pivotal in hindering the Empire's control over two recently taken cities, Kyprian and Rum. The mission's complexity is heightened by the presence of dark, supernatural elements in the keep such as haunting lower crypts that have a reputation of being off-limits due to the dangers posed by ghost walkers, cannibalistic humanoids living underground. The group has already encountered significant opposition, defeating a powerful dragon knight known as Gray Mist, but now faces further challenges as they navigate the treacherous layout of the keep.
Confrontation with Sunray
As the characters make their way up through the keep, they encounter Sunray, a young copper dragon who holds significant authority over the area. The tension escalates when Sunray captures one of the prisoners and threatens to throw him off a cliff unless he reveals information about the group’s intentions. This dangerous standoff places the characters in a precarious situation where they must rely on dwindling resources, having already expended much of their healing and magical abilities during earlier conflicts. The scene is further complicated by Sunray's character traits, as he is described as vain and cowardly, hinting at potential weaknesses that the group can exploit during this crucial confrontation.
Dealing with the Gold
The enormous challenge of managing the hoard of gold from Black Spire looms over the characters, who must devise a strategy for dealing with the treasure efficiently. Options include utilizing a summoned demon to discard the gold, calling on a magical portal to hell, or causing a sinkhole that would bury the wealth in the ghost walkers' territory below. Each method comes with its complications, as physically transporting the gold would prove virtually impossible due to its sheer weight and volume, amounting to a logistical nightmare. The decision not only impacts the immediate mission but also influences the larger conflict within the Dragon Empire, as the group grapples with the weight of their choices and the necessity of preventing the gold from empowering their enemies.

I used to use a different app that was able to save excerpts from podcast and really enjoyed it. I could listen to the podcast and quickly save things that I wanted to come back to later. Snipd take this to a whole new level with AI integration, creating summaries of podcasts and summarizing the main takeaways from what I’ve saved and snipped. I really love how it helps me prioritize what podcast to listen to with it summaries & deep dives.
