Rama kept low as he approached the dracons and the other newcomers, turning back to see if Krakas was still with him every so often. They couldn't possibly be the only kobolds who had noticed them, so there was bound to be some sort of armed patrol sent out to investigate. He suspected that he had only minutes to deal with these dracons at most. Determining who they were, who sent them, and what they were up to was critical.

He stopped when he saw a large red-skinned dracon clad in blue armor wielding a greatsword. 

"That dracon... Krakas, that's Adykon! The one who stopped Dememoras! If he's involved..." He was torn between a deep sense of admiration fort the dracon and the realization of what this meant. Adykon was allied with the major cities of Minbenthac and Naushindcalgoa. In fact, the king of the former city had granted him the land on which his farm now stood in the fertile valley. Either city was easily powerful enough to destroy the kobold's forces. Both were completely overkill. A word from Adykon could sway either or both cities, or so Rama feared. Of course, he didn't know that Krakas knew Adykon and Aerta.

Meanwhile, in Traeton's castle...

"Is everything alright, majesty?" A soft voice came from behind Rughoi. One of the shamans, a female named Kali. "I've been trying to clean up the temples, as you ordered. We've set up our altars in them, but I get the feeling that we're just not capable of the same rituals as the dracons are. I've heard something about invaders. Perhaps I can scry on them if you like. I just need a bowl of water and a bit of time.

"Where is who? Ennave?" Ophion asked. "She should be here with us."

Adykon sheathed his sword, trying to calm the situation in spite of Fasuto conjuring a sword of his own.

"Nothing wrong yet, Smith." Adykon turned to Ophion and Fasuto. "Ophion, my friend! I didn't know you'd be here too. And you brought a Fauxen? No, too large to be one of those."

"This is Fasuto. I'll let him speak for himself" Ophion replied, gesturing at his new friend.
