[center][h1][color=lightblue]Galahad Caradoc[/color][/h1] [/center] [hr] Galahad stood at the fore of the deck, looking out over the edge at the mountain range ahead. He was back in his full armor, the halberd in his hand. Strangely enough, he felt a sort of calm about him, perhaps it was the mountain ranges being a bit like home- as far away as they currently were. Their crew was small, three of them and some dozen soldiers of Skael. Galahad raised an eyebrow at Izayoi- though the gesture itself was hidden beneath the visor of his helmet. [color=lightblue]"You know a thing about hunting dragons? Well, color me surprised."[/color] he remarked, [color=lightblue]"Though it's not as though Edreni have a monopoly on dragon slaying."[/color] The helmet lifted, looking at the dark orange horizon. Only an hour before sunset, which meant perhaps two or three hours at most of light. [color=lightblue]"Timing is less than ideal- I would've preferred to hunt in the daytime when we can [i]see[/i] the dragons. I suppose once they start using their breath weapons it'll be very obvious where they are."[/color] Galahad glanced at the sergeant and his men. [color=lightblue]"Ideally we wouldn't risk the airship during the dragon hunt. I don't doubt this ship is sturdy, but dragons have a way of... testing the durability of any airship, and walking all the way back home is less than ideal. If we set down too early, we'll waste most of our remaining light walking."[/color] [color=lightblue]"The sun is going down, so most dragons would be returning to their roosts fairly soon- if they're not blighted yet."[/color] Galahad mused. [color=lightblue]"The darkness might actually play to our favor. If the dragons are not yet blighted and are in fact coming into contact with blightbeasts, we should be hearing them- and seeing breath weapons relatively soon."[/color] Galahad glanced back to Izayoi and shrugged. [color=lightblue]"If they're [i]already[/i] blighted? I've fought a few blighted dragons before. They have no sense or strategy, just blind rage. If they'd spotted us by now, we'd know."[/color] [color=lightblue]"Sergeant, do any of your people here possess radios, or other methods of ranged communication? I believe our best course of action would be to proceed in the air until we spot either the breath weapons or a roost. Have the majority of us dismount and make our way on foot- with a few remaining on the airship to guide us and provide information while in the air."[/color]
