The apparent distrust was quite evident from the heroes, but she would have felt the same way in their shoes. Trepidation kept hunters from becoming prey, but too much would stay their hands unnecessarily. The Duke stepped back from the party, bowing out apologetically as he had little to add and much to do in preparation.

[color=f26522]"Please, call me Ada. I no longer hold a title, and never liked the formalities it brought anyways."[/color] The former duchess looked between the two who had confronted her, and appeared to think for a moment on what she could recall. [color=f26522]"I know little more about this gathering than you do, just that Valkur requested an audience. Who are we to say no to the gods? He sent his messenger who wrote the summons you all received, then said he would return today to give us more information. I should say the information we have received is woefully less than I had expected."[/color]

A ghoul to the west, and a dragon to the north. Her course of action would be obvious to nearly anyone, as she intended to protect her home first. [color=f26522]"White dragons have an icy breath attack, and rarely work well with others,"[/color] she continued. [color=f26522]"It is odd that one would work willingly with giants, although I have heard the Frost Giants would sometimes find an Adult White Dragon to wrestle into submission. If they were successful, the dragon would then become a slave of sorts. However, it makes little sense... our army could handle an Adult dragon. They aren't very cunning, and neither are the Frost Giants. If that's the threat, we shouldn't be needed.

"Which makes me think there is more going on. The only draconic threat that is on our level would be an Ancient dragon. A whole clan of Frost Giants wouldn't be enough to take one down. Either the dragon is working willingly with the giants, which is unlikely, or there is some other type of giant at work that can tame a dragon. That would be a force we could not abide in Mavros."[/color] Ada bit her lower lip as she thought harder about the possibilities. [color=f26522]"I think I would need a peek in the library to learn more,"[/color] she added.

Arcana on dragons = (6)+11 = 17 - rolling less than 20 will not grant further information
Nature on giants = (9)+11 = 20 - rolling less than 25 will not grant further information
Religion on ghouls = (3)+5 = 8 - Ada has nothing useful to contribute here[/hider]
