Ironscale has Entered the Dungeon

Deep within the dungeon’s scorching depths, Ironscale, the fire dragon, stands as a fearsome guardian. Once a majestic creature of the volcanic wilds, it was enslaved by the Countess’s dark magic to protect her lair.

With iron-hard scales and a breath of searing flame, Ironscale is more than a brute force—it’s a cunning foe that thrives on chaos, using fiery meteors and bone-shaking roars to split adventurers apart.

In a game where unity is everything, this dragon tests the core rule: never split the party. Only through teamwork and resolve can heroes hope to defeat it and press on toward the Countess.
