In the 32nd game in Dragonreach, a band of heroes were hired by the Arcane Conclave to ascend Brokengulf Peak (in the Scaly Peaks) and steal intact Roc eggs. It seemed that a roc was nesting in an old ruined tower atop the peak...
The party learned that a rival band (led by the despised Max Mannheim), working for a different faction (the strange Masked Sorcerers of Leng) was ahead of them. Thus, instead of taking the easier mountain pass, they opted to climb the sheer western face of the mountain...
They thus overtook Mannheim's band, but were attacked by wyverns while crossing Brokengulf Chasm...
Reaching the Roc's nest, the party tried to steal the eggs, but were quickly noticed by the Roc, and a battle ensued...
Ultimately, Mannheim's band arrived too, leading to a three-way fight between our heroes, the Roc, and Mannheim's band. Fortunately, the eggs were retrieved and the party was able to make its escape without any casualties.
In the 26th game in Dragonreach, a band of (mostly) young adventurers accepted a commission from the Pathfinders' Guild to procure pegasi - so that the guild could better scout and map the Isle of Dragonreach.
Our heroes sailed to an island where pegasi had been spotted, sabotaged their rivals (including Max Mannheim, who was also on board), and found that the pegasi were being raised by a storm giant who laired in a cloud castle above the island. First, they contended with a pack of giant, carnivorous sheep being tended by a cyclops. Then, they found an old, magical set of stairs that ascended up to the cloud island - but had to contend with the harpies that infested it...
Then, they poached the giant's prized pegasi - which kicked, bit, and tried to push them off the cloud island.
But, ultimately, they were able to tame four of the beasts and claim a healthy reward from the Pathfinders.
