With his hands in his sleeves, Lin calmly surveyed his surroundings, taking note of the landmarks and their positions relative to those landmarks. As far as assumptions went, being dropped where they had been was more of a boon than anything. The problem now, though, was deciding a line of action.

Having committed all of the necessary information to memory (including the odd town), the dragon simply descended from where he was, as if riding a platform unto the earth, before moving over to those gathered.

"...Hm. It seems our party has grown," he mentioned before the sound of screaming above caused him to turn and look. Given the apparent size of this unfortunate soul, though, Lin made the rational decision to simply move away from the possible blast zone. There was no way he would be able to catch someone of [i]that[/i] magnitude, after all.

"In any case," he began, taking a seat next to the doll as he waved the others over, "our position is surprisingly useful, though I would like to consult you for our plan of action."

Taking a few stones from around the bank, the dragon began to set up a relative diagram of their position and, having found a stick lying around, began to point to each in turn.

"As it stands, we are here. There is a larger river nearby, which connects to a mountain range upstream and the ocean downstream. The distance to said mountain is absolutely something to be done over multiple days, while we could reach the beach within a day's time by foot—less, maybe, if we were to use a vessel and move downstream in that. There is also a village around this far from us, definitely within walking distance, but given how underdeveloped it seemed and its location in this forest, I am unsure if contacting them would be wise.

If we were to put it to a vote, though... I think I would abstain. The pros and cons of either location are at the point where I wouldn't mind traveling to whichever one you all would prefer."

After finishing his explanation, Lin simply sighed and shook his head. The matter of 'where to begin' and 'what equipment to pursue' was chief among his worries, and so he sat there mulling over the possible routes that could be taken if they chose one locale or the other.
