Re: Diplomacy with Drakes
Intense minutes turn into long, monotonous hours as you leave the lava cavern behind. Even the generally irritating Kornari is silent. Ok stays close to Klale, but not under foot.
At one point, the exhaustion begins to take its toll and a halt is called to try and sleep. Nothing has appeared on the long flight and no sound in the deep dark echoes to warn of approaching enemies.
Telchar and Saris cook a dinner of surprising savor for adventuring fare, then guards are chosen and sleep comes swiftly.
Far too soon, you are being shook awake by Telchar, and of all people, Xar.
