"Aye Grumni -- I don't care much for those pits either -- which is why I don't want to go through that corridor any more often than I have to. Seeings we are on this side of them now, I'd like to take one last look-see before we leave."
"In particular I am more and more curious about where those other two doors lead. The one with the elementals was probably a "cage" ... but the one in the middle of the east wall -- can't help but wonder if it leads up? ... or to the Abyss, heh"

Rand sits on the floor as the others discuss options. He just stares at the floor, lost in thought, catching his breath.

Grumni raised an eyebrow.
"I ain't in any rush ter jump into the abyss Rolo." The dwarf replied. "Perhaps Eli could get his familiar ter fly through and see what's on t'other side?"

"Ha, ha! That is an excellent idea Grumni -- and if it is the abyss, ole "Furball" will seem right at home!"
"What do you think Eli? Can you do it? Will you do it? Or perhaps you have another idea?"

Rand is oddly silent, perhaps contemplating carrying over a hundred pounds of loot back to the Keep. Or maybe he just fell asleep where he sits. Either way, he's not moving or talking.

"Sounds good to me but I don't know how Furball will react. He might have other ideas!" said Eli

Rolo pulls out the four books of the mad mage's notes on Forcefields, Dimensional Travel, and Permanency of Magic and shows them to D'Amberville.
"I'm thinking you may be interested in these writings concerning magical things. I'm sure they are quite useful and perhaps somewhat valuable to the right person? I'm thinking of showing them to Mendle as well ... he indicated he had some clients who were interested in some old books that supposedly were in that tower ... but, I'm thinking the books he was referring to were some of those in Eli's pile."
"So, are you interested? If so, what do you think you can offer?" The hob smiles his best smile.

"I've quite the collection as well, sixteen books I believe," said Eli. "Between us we're carrying an entire wizard's library, that's surely worth a great deal!"

Grumni rummaged in his pack and produced a crown. He rubbed off the dust and cobwebs with his sleeve revealing a glistening metal beneath. The light from the window caught the gems mounted upon it and gleamed. The dwarf took a moment to admire the craftsmanship.
"I found this crown down there too. Looks fancy, I'm thinking its got some sort of inscription on the inside. Can yer tell us anything about it?"

D'Amberville looks over the books with obvious interest.
Fascinating! You say you got these from that legendary tower? Guess it wasn't just a myth after all. I'll need a few hours, at least, to scan through these tomes, before I can give you a fair estimate of their value to me. If you're willing to leave them with me for the evening, I can give you a price in the morning.
He examines the crown with less interest.
It doesn't seem to have any enchantments at first glance. I'm not a jeweler, so can't speak to the quality of the craftsmanship nor the materials. For a fee, I could cast some spells to perhaps find out more about it.

"I suppose that seems fair enough. What do you think Eli? You know more about this stuff than I."
"As for that crown Grumni, perhaps the folks at the castle would know more about it ... do you think?"
"We probably should go make a report anyways; easy enough to ask then."

The hob fidgeted nervously as he waited for his comrades at the main gate. He kept checking and rechecking his supplies and a few minutes later he would check again.
He pulled out his short sword; inspecting its blade. A quality weapon, magical even; but would it be enough to pierce a dragon's hide? And would he be able to get close enough to even use it? A frown crossed his lips at that thought.
He glanced at the tall mage standing nearby. "Eli, do you think Rand and Grumni can really be serious about this? Actually "hunting" a dragon? Do you think we would even have a chance if we were to find it?"
"If we had that darned egg we might have a tool for negotiations -- but, alas, it seems to have disappeared along with the lass that was packing it ,,, Rynn I believe was her name. I can't help but wonder if her disappearance with the egg and the dragons arrival aren't connected in some fashion."
"And what were the kobolds doing with it in the first place?"
"Bah -- it seems I arrived just a bit late -- so many unanswered questions ..."

Grumni considered the small but battle-hardened group's chances. The road to their next great adventure stood before them and the challenge was greater than any they had faced before.
As much as he trusted the talents of his companions he could not help but wish Barrin and the others who had fought beside them in the past were still with there.
"I'm thinking we should try ter set up some sort of ambush ter take down this dragon. If we go running in through the front door we'll be be dead in the blink of an eye lads. I dont want ter end up a dragon's dinner." declared the dwarf.
He took a deep breath, hoisted his well stocked pack over his shoulder and signalled for the guards to open the gates.

"Ambush ... tactics ... yes, that would improve our chances Grumni. I've managed to construct several trap kits from those skeleton knuckle bones we've collected ... wishing I had another pouch full of em to make stronger traps."
"If we could find the thing unawares, I might be able to set something up; but dragons aren't stupid and I hear they have very keen senses ..."

Putting traps out for a dragon sounds ridiculous. The thing will probably be flying the whole time.
We should tread lightly and carry a lot of arrows, in my opinion.

The Dwarf frowned.
"They'll have ter be damned big arrows ter get through its scaly hide."

The hob rubbed his chin in thought, "hmmm ... point taken; but, they often fight from the ground do they not? Unless, of course they are fighting another flying creature."
"I also hear that they can terrify a person to such an extent that they are completely senseless...."
Rolo chuckles ... "What am I babling about? There is no way we could ever hope to fight a dragon and win. We need a better plan for dealing with this situation once we figure out where this dragon is ... if we figure out where this dragon is."

*looks skyward*
"We're gonna need bigger arrows."
*scratches his chin*
"Do you think we can buy a ballistae from the Keep?"

"A ballista? And who is going to pack this thing? And I'm guessing you'll get one shot with the thing before the dragon is upon us -- you think you can kill it?"
"Ha, ha! All we are going to do with a ballista is piss the thing off! Wands of fireballs, maybe; a ballista, out of the question I think."
"How about we go back to those kobolds and see if they know anything about this dragon?"
