Dragon Cult: Part 1

This is our Wednesday campaign. Main group consists of a male LG Half-Elf Paladin, male TN drunkard Halfling Rogue, female CN Elf Warlock, male CN Dragonborn Fighter, & male NG Tiefling Ranger. Group expands & shrinks based on people that attend, but these are the main people who are there 90%+ of the time.

>Slow start to campaign with not many interesting things happening
>Fighter & Ranger join to find a Paladin, Rogue, & Monk with a captured Kobold named Kobi, aiding a town that was attacked by the cult
>After a fight with a small scouting group of the cult's, the Warlock joins
>Let Kobi go so we can blend with the cult in their large encampment
Kobi goes on to become a chef in a restaurant created by another aspiring Kobold chef in a major city
>Find out the cult has prisoners & decide to break them out in hopes of adding to our numbers
>Also find out about loads of treasure being heavily guarded in a nearby cave
>Decide to have our Monk fight the cult's "favorite" prisoner, a Dragonborn Barbarian to distract everyone & get someone into their jail
>Both down to 1 HP each through sheer dumb luck with a fake knockout leaving the Monk as victor
>Break everyone out in the night with only the Barbarian to stay & help
>Cult now on high alert & forcing low ranking cult guards to do prisoner slave labor
>Get back to town to rest & plan
>Return to find an empty camp with a lone cultist cooking by a fire
>Fighter chops off the cultist's arm & kills him, leaving the body on a smothered fire & takes the food that was being cooked
>Begin exploring cave for the treasure
>General fights with left over cult members, exploring, & looting ensue
>Rogue always hiding behind party members for sneak attack cover
>90% of the time he hides between the legs of our Warlock
>Find a high ranking cult member that knows the Paladin & challenges him to a 1v1 duel
>1 round in the Paladin takes heavy damage while cult general is unharmed
>Fighter jumps in dealing damage that causes general to call for nearby cult aid
>Paladin goes down first
>All cult members die & Paladin is saved
>Fighter claims the general's Greatsword as a new spoil of war
>Find some black dragon eggs the townsfolk want gone
>Warlock begs us to leave them because she cares about black dragons
>While everyone is distracted from yelling at each other, the Fighter cuts open an egg with his Halberd
>The Warlock holding the dying baby dragon attempts to say a quiet prayer for it in Draconic
>Everyone in the party speaks Draconic
>As the Fighter moves to the next egg, the Warlock puts a Cloud of Dagger spell around it
>The Paladin hurls his Javelin into the egg followed by a screech of pain from the egg
>Other party members find the last eggs to get rid of them
>A creature comes down from the ceiling & eats the dead baby dragons
Warlock player says may they rest in peace. Fighter player follows with "They are being eaten. Shouldn't it be rest in pieces?"
>More exploring leads to a room
Room belongs to another high ranking cult member that has packed up & left
>While the party searches the room, the Rogue & Fighter mess with the room in hopes the cultist will come back to find it this way
>Rogue saws off chair leg segments to make them wobble & uneven
>Fighter chops bed in half with Halberd
>Last room/hallway of the cave, the party finds a drunk man who tells a tale about how he is scouring the land to find the perfect beer
>Use magic to make him see a dancing beer mug before leaving him
>The camp is completely clear & so is the 1 armed body the Fighter left
>Party returns to town
>Monk leaves
