Sabine did not feel the need to alter the plan further. Even if Yerig and Rhajul were not warriors of the lowest profile, the fallback plan was the alternative plan in the first place. If they would have to fight, so be it.

Later on, the sight of the dragon itself shook Sabine's resolve for a moment. It was every bit as imposing as she imagined and more. Knowing how large and strong the bones within the creature were did not help matters -- nothing about the dragon's body was weak. The kind of magic to kill such a creature would have to be powerful indeed. Perhaps not beyond her abilities, especially with the Staff of Magnus, but still frightening.

"Yerig." Sabine said, holding the staff close to herself. "Can any of us speak with it, or does it only understand its shouting language?"
