October 5th, 2014 - 12th of Harvester to the 21st of Harvester (High Summer) 580 CY
-The companions conduct mundane business in Nulb. Rivermist trades up for a magical shield. Rennard mounts a magically lit coin to his shield. Aelfric of St. Cuthbert joins the party once again. Rivermist transforms into a peregrine falcon and runs into a curious pseudodragon on her way back to Hommlet to deposit funds with Melubb.
- The party heads back to the Temple. The seemingly ever present ravens inhabiting the upper reaches of the tower are found slain by what were apparently forces from the Wild Coast.
- Making their way through the two upper levels of the Temple, the party encounters no one else. They easily follow their own tracks into the Interdiction of Zuggtmoy and then to the room of elemental gates. They step together into the gate indicated by the symbol of the Fire Temple.
- The environment of this demi-plane is hot, molten and possibly dangerous if the party had not possessed magical rings and enchantments to abate the damage. After defeating various fire elementals with the help of water-based spells conjured up by the Druid, one of the elementals, a Salamander, is taken captive.
- After the companions encounter and defeat a gaggle of Harggins, they size up their current condition and decide to sequester themselves into a vacant room. Here the "salamander" reveals himself to them as genie, more to point - an efreet. To their great surprise, he also reveals that they have been appraised to be worthy to help him defeat the red dragon which holds the key to his release. He also reveals that the creatures in the "node" are not summoned but were tricked and trapped here. Neirdre divines that the dragon is holed up in the north east section of the node.
- The Moat House Men set off to confront the great lizard. It becomes quite obvious that they are approaching the right area as the temperature rapidly increases. Potions are drunk and defensive spells are cast. The party rounds the corner with Zaltar the efreet at the fore - along with Rennard. There before them was the great beast spewing forth it's burning breath. Again, orisons, spells, and cantrips save their bacon. Neirdre speaks the words of a great transformative spell and the mighty beast disappears and in it's place... a tuna. Astonished upon this sight, the efreet springs into action and immediately hacks the fish to pieces, killing it. Upon it's death the fish transforms back into a dead dragon. The party is silent.
