ENCOUNTER1 magic pidgeon sent to caldor

Princess Shack is 242ish miles to the east of Cincinnati / merctown in the city of New Port on the ohio river, which is downstream from the tenessea in huntsville, reachable by boat from the river near cincinnati. 

 "Husband!  A strange person Lord One Eye is here claiming I am in some sort of federation, that he was sent by Lord Dunscon, and wishing to be granted the right to settle his platoon of goblins who came in a magic boat pulled by a flying monkey.  They claim they need to build a mustering point to rift in more defenses for some war to free Merctown?

Should I destroy them?  With our faithful beasts, I and the defense drone could easily slaughter them if it is your wish, but I thought i should ask first because I know not which lands you have conquered on this backwards planet.  One Eye claims to serve the needs of Knight Caldor's Lord Drago and want to discuss tribute terms for the right to settle.  Please come to New Port, I have a gift for you.  Another egg!  Your children honor you with their conquests."

ENCOUNTER TWO: SEPSIS

caldor fails save with a 2 and comes down with a light case of sepsis due to his super human PE

mary fails save with a 2 and comes with with a severe case of sepsis, 7 day estimated mortality without antibiotics.  mary recovers

randy fails save with a 12 and comes down with a moderate case of sepsis, 14 day estimated mortality unless condition improves to light or if it decreases to severe maybe sooner.  randy does not recover and dies of sepsis.

ENCOUNTER THREE: UFO GHOST astral projects to talk to dragon

"GREETINGS I AM BYORG

"the captain has crashed my ufo and is about to get me, please save my body it is 1kilometer to the east"

"I Was sent to guide you to psyscape where you might learn of your kind, my body is weak and dying hurry dragon, before I pass on and with me the secrets to enter psyscape. dont let me fall into the hands of the captain!"
