[@Eviledd1984] "Hmm. No dracon would recognize her as a 'queen' or someone with absolute power. Their first son would have to take over for their kingdom if Smith passes" Adykon explained. "But that's not a concern for a very long time. For now, it is best not to even consider an alliance. As you may know, there is no one dracon country. We are divided into many different realms; kingdoms, city-states, principalities, and so on. Your realm, wherever it is, is probably better off not getting too involved with dracon affairs" Adykon told the fey. [@SilverPaw] "Items creation will work for now" Aerta explained. "What did you want to make?" The laboratory had supplies and tools which could make a variety of items, although it wasn't set up to make heavy weapons and armor. [@TheForgottenArc] "You think you can fight again today? We just might have to" Kosjurec explained, scanning the area for any danger. "The way is clear for now. We'd better get into the city and continue with your mission. Is there anywhere specific we must go? If not, it may be wise to find shelter in a temple or even a tavern, then plot our next move." [@bloonewb] Ternoc knelt down so his eyes could meet Ardasa's on a more level field. Even so, he was still slightly above her level, though he was no longer towering above the female kobold. "It's really a matter of display, my lady. The perception of power and of the significance of this meeting is important to my people. If they do not take this matter seriously, they will demand that I break off the alliance with Xigyll. Plus, there is always the danger of assassins in Hekaga. These troops are as much for our protection as much as anything else. At least my 'Horns' are. The soldiers in the streets are really just there to keep the road clear and put on a show. Something to distract the people from their grinding poverty."
