Previously the party entered the city of “The Well of Dragons”  in their ongoing quest to track down the spirits of long dead ancient dragons to help them locate the lost city of Arkhosia. You found the deeper reaches of the city under lockdown by order of the high priest of the church of the platinum dragon. You were then approached by the captain of the city guard who had suspicions that the church has been infiltrated by a cult of Tiamat, the ancient enemy of Bahamut. He recruited you to investigate several leads that eventually lead you to a chamber deep within the mountain where you found several Drow assassins along with some cultists working under the command of a young blue dragon calling himself Lord Carinth attempting to contain the ancient dragon's spirit for unknown reasons. Upon releasing the spirit the spectral form of the Ancient dragon descended upon the city and dragged Lord Carinth out of the chamber and flew off with him towards the North. Upon interrogating one of the Drow assassins you learned that Olorithra (oh-lo-rith-rah) has learned the location of Arkhosia in the Underdark and is in the process of putting together an expedition to reach it. The assassin is currently being held by the city guard. You awake on the day following these events in your rooms at the Laughing Dragon inn with the city recovering from the damage caused when the dragon descended upon it. The population seem to believe that it was a manifestation of Bahamut descending upon the city to smite the corrupt high-priest.
