[@Eviledd1984] "I, uh, I think that I should excuse myself..." Kara remarked, getting up. "Hold on a moment!" Kara's head whipped around to see that Adykon had entered the room. "Oh! H-hi dad. You look... determined." Adykon's eyes were fixed on Leonore. "I need a moment with Leonore. Alone. If my daughter is to marry her son, certain details need to be accounted for." He turned to face the fae. "Care to join me in the next room?" [@bloonewb] Kali shut the book and grew nervous once she noticed the stares she had received from the crowd. She briefly glanced down at her feet, a sign of embarrassment for dracons and kobolds alike. "I think I messed it up somehow, didn't I?" There was an awkward moment of silence. "Er... let's just get moving, shall we? Lead the way, handsome." [@TheForgottenArc] "Alright, I'll accept that" Kos explained. "Thank you for your honesty. I see the city up ahead. It'll be another few minutes before-" suddenly, Kos felt a sharp tug on the spur toe of his right foot. He pulled his leg forward, but something yanked him back. He drew his greatsword with one swift motion and spun around as best he could, bringing the blade down on his assailant. Unsurprisingly, he encountered a dracon skeleton which had burst from the ground. Several others began breaking through the soft dirt on either side of the road. "Looks like your necromancer has sent us some of his playthings! Cut these down as quick as you can! I'm positive he only intends to slow us down with these dusty bones, but that means he knows you're here!" [@SilverPaw] "Ah, it was a hidden test of character, one which you passed with flying colors" Aerta admitted. "I had hoped that she'd teach you a few things, but I can handle that just as well as she could. As it is, you should count yourself fortunate to have received a boon from her. Para-elementals don't hand those out easily, you understand." She looked around to make sure they were alone. "The fact that she did so means she is [i]interested [/i]in you, y'know. Don't be surprised if she tries to start an affair if you're alone with her. Just treat her with respect, no matter how you choose to handle it."
