my players completely subverted my expectations AGAIN and i didn't even have any this time
they didn't make it to the dragon's spine, the difficult mountain pass.
3/5 hours of the session were dedicated to a boss battle.
in the 4th hour, one of the PCs LEFT FOR THE ANCIENT WORLD WITH A DRAGON AND IS NOW EFFECTIVELY OUT OF THE CAMPAIGN.
in the 5th hour, she went through a massive storm with said dragon in order to get to where she wanted and barely, and i mean BARELY made it.

these players are absolutely insane and i love it lol.
