The black dragon Atirr's face becomes more wrinkled as the dwarf talks till the dragon hiss and stomps towards the dwarf in anger, You say that but it wasn't you that was caught in the spell. You laugh and jest when it be me who was caught but think that it very well could have been any of you. I come to you for help and you laugh when I have the power to stomp you into the ground and throw your body to the fish.

Atirr growls and smoke hisses out of his nose as he closes in on the dwarf when Tyro speaks attempting to calm the angry human with the strength and armor of an adult dragon.

Atirr pauses and his face grows a bit softer as a resolution more to his liking is announced. Yes, that sounds fair enough but perhaps .... he hisses and looks to the dwarf thinking of evil things to do to the dwarf for laughing at him.

As much as Atirr might want to succumb to the evil ways of a black dragon Warblade manages to talk some sense into the man. Half an hour latter Warblade and Ryli are off flying on the back of Atirr.

Caellen - I noticed that your post seemed to indicate that the group was by the cave. That's isn't quite where the group is.

The group walked back to their original camp site about an hour and a half away from where the gnoll camp was. The camp is about 100 yards from the river that flows towards Hardby which will be the next major town the group will come across.


OK so all the extra npc baggage is gone or at least all the PC's that were not posting.

Tyro - will you be taking any Henchmen or Talon? If not then lets get moving. I figure the group probably wanted at least 7 hours of sleep. They had about 3 before the dragon attack and then came back at 3 am so it is about 9 am now. It will be about 10:30 when you get back to the trail and the gnoll hill.
