Dorisma immediately accepted this supposed quest, much to my annoyance. Whilst we probably would've went anyway, her haste indicated that she'd rather die than to continue listening to some bothersome dragon. Actually, I shouldn't be annoyed then. Anyway, we were still in the arena, having not moved anywhere during our conversation. We were echoing even at our quietest, because no one else was around to listen as empty leather bags flopped in the wind. Robert made the decision to leave for their nearest armoury or something, intent on getting better equipment than this fodder. "We better move then. No one likes standing around, right?" I joked, not really laughing or anything as I followed Robert at a slow pace.

While walking, I caught some rather good sights of the place. These buildings were presumably huge and grand before the dragons arrived, leaving behind large foundations and obvious markings of obliterated buildings. All the marble around seemed to have been overgrown or merged with the ground, giving a sense as to how old this place was, even after the dragons settled here. I didn't really like to imagine dragons suddenly taking a supposedly grand city at the time for themselves, however. All the chaos that must've followed... I don't applaud humans, and in fact I'm rather pleased they were chased out of one of their strongholds. Problem is, this was a rather pretty stronghold based on the remaining buildings and structures. Such a shame all that destruction was required to take the place.

As we continued through dispersed crowds and leering dragons, broken structures that formed new paths, and old vandalised statues commemorating the success of humans, we finally came across a rather... new structure. There weren't many new buildings around in this stronghold, so to see a new one built was quite surprising. Heck, the details of the building could NOT have been made by the clumsiness of dragons. They probably got some labourers (or should I dare slaves) to build some structures for themselves. Evidently, it was a little rustic and overreaching in a few places, but it was still a building. In fact, it was the place we were going to get new equipment.

Evidently not for free though. The raspy dragon first glared at us then asked for payment should we still continued. Robert (listening intently) dug out a small bag and peered down it. He looked pretty worried, something I... well, I already had some equipment on me, but the others probably didn't; which was still equally worrying.
