[b]Grud, the Goblin[/b]

[color=8882be][i]Grud cowered as the very forest around him shook and gave way to a massive being. He scrambled backwards, until he heard another voice behind him. Turning he saw the source of the voice, though it seemed much to small to be the source, but it clearly wasn't afraid of the dragon behind him. Grud didn't understand a single word spoken to him, whether out of fright or ignorance, is not immediately apparent.[/i][/color]

[b]Dread Cultist Mot[/b]

[color=8882be][i]Well... that wasn't entirely surprising, considering that a dragon had landed not far from where a lightning bolt had risen from the ground to the mountain above, being observed was a thing that was highly likely. He only wondered if there were others observing, and guessing that even if there were none now, there would be more soon. Speaking to the angel beside him, he reluctantly followed the dragon and the feisty little girl. He had to give her that much, few could stand up to a dragon, and she was certainly confident in her ability to handle herself.[/i][/color]

[color=00aeef]As much as I would like to leave those two behind, I do not have a clear understanding of where we are, and I suspect that following along will answer that question more quickly than any other path. So for now, let us remain one group, however divided our loyalties may be.[/color]

[color=8882be][i]Mot wondered what the Mermaid thought about all of it, but she had remained quite silent and aloof of the proceedings.  As he thought of her, he remembered the first time he'd met a merfolk, and the Island on which it happened. As Mot mooved the summoned Gatewarden buzzed through the air just over head, it's hair thickening into writhing strands, as he enchanted her with Aspect of Gorgon. He wanted to be ready for whatever attention the dragon's ... blatantly overt actions had drawn. He also took a moment to review his inventory of spells readied, and noticed he had an abundance of sorceries, but a distinct lack of creatures to attack with. That could be problematic.[/i][/color]
