He nods at the details, "A red glowing crystal, in a tower or keep, we will keep our eyes out for it!"
He smiled back at her enjoying all the pleasure that was to be had, and doing his best to prolong the experience. His cock riding in and out as he gasped for air. He stopped once to gain his focus as the pleasure was almost too much. Soon he was back to his rhythm only to slow down at seeing her smile and the hand on his face.
"Well a red glowing crystal should be easy enough to see." Cleonora commented.
"I love you." Cleonora whispered as their lips parted.
"Thank you for the quest and offering of services, we will be back once we have... the crystal." He states and gets up, opening the door for the rest to leave by.
He kissed her back letting his body continue the rhythm as he looked in her eyes. He was in bliss. Her words brought his attention and he responded in kind, "I love you, Cleonora." Then his lips went for more kisses as his body tangled with hers.
Cleonora stood from her place and followed Jorne, walking past him and outside but waited there for the others.
Quince smiles, "We will see what we can do. Thank you for your time." He heads out to join the others.
"Well we still need to see about this monster." He smiles and squeezes Elizabeth's hand.
He looks at Krazok with a smirk, "Did we pass your test?"
"Oh it wasn't a test just seeing how you would interact with her and let yell meet her. The shrooms and glowing crystal are new!" He says with simplicity.
She follows along with Quince happy to be hear, free from the confines of her home for a while. With his hand on hers she was happy.
Katrina left last, imparting a blessing and a gift before leaving.
"To the South then?!" He asks as the group heads to their mounts.
He just lay with her for several minutes. As his cock began to shrink he flexed it likely drawing another moan from her. He continued to kiss her softly and smiling each time she looked at him. He couldn't close his eyes as he was ensorcered by her beauty.
Quince nods "Here we go."
"Shooms and glowing crystals... That is an odd saying one isn't use to hearing. South ward it is."
Quince chuckles at the odd phrase. "Well she's a wholistic healer."
"You know if magic wasn't a thing I'll call that a killer." Cleonora said with a slight smirk.
"A killer?" He asks confused.
As the group finds their mounts and riding partners. He nods and says, "So heading South to find that dragon?"
With confirmation he takes the lead and in another hour, the group returns far South. Where the group begins to search for signs of the beast.
It takes the better part of two days to find signs of the dragon that you stalk.
You find a tangled thicket that is littered with rotting meat, cracked bones, and scattered items of gnawed-on equipment. It looks like it has been busy with some of your rangers as you see cloaks and furs of the nation. They are torn and bloody, very little sign of those who were eaten.
The beast seems to not be home.
I reach into my HHH and begin to pull out a chain. On the other end of the chain comes three bear traps. I grin at the group!

"Nothing real good to help in this fight to my knowledge, though alarm could be handy should we want to set a trap and move off out of the way."
"Hmmmm... if we had time Sulvanii could make this place a death trap like the hideout."
"We've no idea how much time we have for that." Cleonora said as she crossed her arms. "Also, dragons have am amazing sense of smell... and now our smell is all over it's den." She pointed out with a slight smirk.
"I can work on hiding us to some extent, but it will know we have been here."
Katrina smiles and offers, "I could make some food for it to eat, to appease to its sense of smell?" Not sure how else to help besides buffing the group and healing them.
She offers, "With my abilities I will inspire us to greatness, shoot the beast, and can help buff the group a bit. I am much better in combat than before."
"Well by the looks it hunts people so. We are our own bait. Comforting I know."
Krazok puts down a few bear traps.
"Perhaps those who won't engage in melee can find a location unlikely for the creature to get to?"
"... Quince, it's a dragon." Cleonora reminded him. "It flies. Unless we can burrow, it will be able to get to us no matter the location."
"I would say we should gather together but it likely has a breath weapon. We don't know enough about it. Seperate groups, that might be best. Find some cover at least?" He offers still unsure about the best strategy.
"See he understands. Get cover. Spread out."
"All dragons have breath weapons, even wyrmlings. The question is what kind of breath weapon, and that is greatly tied with scale color... which if it is a dragon lets see if it dropped a scale." Cleonora said as she began to search the area for a scale that had been dropped.
Strewn about the underbrush are the discarded possessions of the forest drake’s most recent victim, an unfortunate elf scout. Most of the gear is ruined, but the following items can still be salvaged: a ripped and broken masterwork chain shirt, a masterwork darkwood longbow, and a tattered, bloodstained cloak.
Looking for scales particularly you find many green scales. Though they are not very big, some might be as big as coins but most are half that size.
You hear the sound of flying and soon the dragon flies overhead a good 400 feet above or more.
Quince readies his bow for a shot. He nods to Elizabeth. "Our first dragon." He nocks the arrow to loose as soon as the monster comes within range.
She nods to Quince who she is standing next too, "Yes, lets see what we can scavenge once it is taken down for trophies!" She prepares her own bow and aims it to the sky.
Fire Augment Weapon Crystal lesser.
He stands off on his own, next to his Axebeak and next to one of the bear traps that he covered up. Holding his bleeding axe above his head ready to swing should that beast get within range.
She stands next to Krazok and his Axebeak with her bone bow out and aiming for the dragon...
She casts other spells upon seeing the dragon next: Invisibility upon herself, Protection from Evil, Bless, then guidance upon both Krazok and herself.
Use of armbands make it +3 for battle 1/day
He draws his bow and he slows his breathing as he stands next to Cleo away from the others. He aims and waits...
The Forest Drake descends down to charge upon the group... arrows fly up to meet him when he is still 200 feet in the air.
The creature goes limp and slowly twirls in loose circles. Eventually landing upon the ground with a great *THUD!*
"... Well now I feel robbed." Cleonora said as she walked up to the now dead Drake. "This isn't a dragon, it's a Drake. They believe themselves dragons of course but they are a pale comparison of the real thing."
"Obviously... So who is the best at skinning or trophy collecting?" He says impressed that in one volley they were able to take down the drake.
"I have a basic understanding of what to do but that is about it."
"I know how to dress a kill, skinning and such. Though my ideas might not be like the rest of you civilized folks... HA!" He states and then jests, laughing at the insinuation.
"I could cook up some drake steaks and such but that is as far of my proficieny." She says thinking about food.
"Don't look at me, you are lucky I don't get lost out here. Leave me in the castle all day!" She states and laughs, knowing she would like to stay home over exploring.
"I have been hunting most my life. I would be happy to prep it."
Using her knowhow of how to prepare meat and her survival skills she does her best to help Quince.
With Quince's lead he aids. Cutting and splicing, making sure certain parts bleed properly.
He offers to work on parts that are not as essential or could just use a rough saw to do. Attempting to help away from the choice parts.
With three extra hands with knowledge makes the process go much faster.
Quince forgets that he is wearing the cool new gloves that Sulvani made for him and the acidic damage from the gloves scars the carcass, "Crap. Dont' know my own strength."
Cleonora just sighed and shook her head slightly watching Quince mess up the hide. "Well I guess there is no making things from it's hide... Oh well."
"Anything else we need to do? Quarter the kill, bag it, and bring it back to the capital." He asks and points out. Doing his best not to hack the meat...
