Scorchmaw
Overview
A young magma dragon bound by the The Hand of Ruin to guard the anchor chamber in the Ironheart Mine. He resents his captivity. If freed, he turns on the cultists and may become a recurring ally — or a future problem.
In Arc 2: Arc 2 - The Gilded War#Hook 5: The Ironheart Siege
Stat Block (CR 10)
See Ironheart Mine#Scorchmaw — Young Magma Dragon (Homebrew).
After Freedom
If the party frees Scorchmaw without killing him:
- He gives them a Scale Token — call for aid once in Arc 4 (arrives in 1d4 rounds)
- He doesn't fight for free; he's a young, selfish dragon
- He remembers the party and may complicate later arcs (he steals from nearby towns; the party's reputation may be affected)
Personality
- Young, arrogant, impulsive
- Curious about the "surface world" (he's spent decades underground)
- Doesn't understand politics; just wants to fight, eat, and hoard
- Calling him "cute" or "little" provokes instant hostility
