Search for the Green Dragon

:nods: Lead the way

[kickme]

:kickme refills his quiver:

I'm ready.

:Starts to sing an elvish war song:

[Leah]

Leah points wordlessly to an overgrown path in the dark forest and beckons for the others to follow. Before starting off, she removes a small stone from her cloak pocket, whispers a few words in another language, and watches with satisfaction as the stone begins to glow with a light of the purest quality. She heads off with the others down the path, listening intently to Kickme's elvish war song. After he finishes, Leah comments, "That was beautiful... unlike anything I've ever heard before." She shakes her head in wonder. "I have never met an elf before. I'm half-human, half... something else that I am not quite sure of. I grew up in a quite sheltered all-human village. As far as I know, I was the only half-breed there." She falls silent as a torrent of memories floods her mind.

:socially awkward at the best of times Jack pats Leah on the back as gently as a troll can and lopes off in the direction indicated to ensure the trail is clear:

[Leah]

Leah sinks a few inches into the ground, but smiles warmly at Jack. "Come to think of it, I've never met a troll before, either."

[JackZackson]

:Turns and smiles back to Leah:

You should be glad for that we're not generally good company

[Leah]

Leah laughs good-naturedly. "I'll take your word for that, but you seem to be an exception." The path comes to a fork, and Leah points to the left fork. "That's the way to Ravenclaw. It's right next to my home village, actually..." Leah trails off, a dark shadow crossing her face. "If that dragon so much as toasted a leaf of my village, I swear I'll slay her faster than you can say firewhiskey!" she says darkly, her hand straying to the hilt of her sword.

[X-Kal]

"You're from Ravenclaw? I understand that town is quite a source of magical talent. I suppose you would be a wizard then? That'd come in great handy. Anyhow, have we got everything we need? My pouch is full to the brim with potions, and I've got my trusty wand to aid me."

[Leah]

"Well, not exactly from Ravenclaw, but from a smaller, lesser known village right by it. We trade a lot with the villagers of Ravenclaw, and there I was trained in the ways of magic by an old friend." Leah pats her wand pocket. "And I think with your potions, Kickme's elven bow, Jack's strength, my sword and hunting bow, and the both of our magical skills, we'll make a good team." Her mind wanders back to something her magic instructor had once told her, and she finds herself saying words that she hadn't heard in a long time: "Alone, one can cross a single barrier, but diversity overcomes a mountain of obstacles."

[kickme]

Kickme, nowing what an evil creature the dragon is, volunteers to be the rear guard in case it attacks from the back.
