Hoard of the Dragon Queen - On the road - part 1

So this weekend see's me and my D&D chums taking up the Tiamat challenge again, the challenge for them is to navigate the next chapter of the WoTC campaign and my challenge has been to basically write almost every encounter. 

I'm unsure as to why WoTC decided to leave this very long and very important chapter up to the DM to almost 100% write, but I'm sure they had their reasons - costs, time or maybe their unflinching faith that DM's all over the realm would be thrilled with partaking in some campaign writing.

Any way, I've prepared a whole load of new bits and pieces for Saturday and the pictures will follow soon.
