War of the Dragons V
 

The two led them into the chamber of the Dark Dragon, who was just finishing up a meal of cow. Near him was Draca, being held in a rather submissive position. Near her were a pair of guards.

"This just gets better and better," Galen muttered. "Let him say his piece, we make like we're afraid, feint a retreat, and then proceed to carve some dragonhide. I'll distract her, you guys get Draca and get her out of here."

"Or we try diplomacy first." Satsu threw his weapons down in front of him and pulled off the armor. "A show of good faith great dragon. I would like to bargain with you."

Guram stood where he was and did not move with the others. He thought the idea of a diplomatic negotiation was foolish. This is stupid. He kept his dagger ready behind his back. He slowly drew from his right pocket the remaining shuriken left over from the battle on the beach.

"I'll admit, great one, that we are mere insects in your presence, but will you parlay with us? Perhaps we can reach an arrangement that is mutually beneficial"

YOU FOOL!, Galen thought. He began to look the room over for potential weapons and retreat options.

Are those stalagmites up there? Hmmm...

Satsu turned to the others and winked. "Surely it can not hurt you to hear us out, oh great and powerful dragon."

Guram noticed Galen staring at the ceiling of the cave at the numerous rock formations. He now had his shuriken ready behind his back. I hope it's strong enough. He watched and waited earnestly to see which way the discussion would go.

ooc: I'm ginving flare another day before I take matters into my hands.

ooc: Where has everyone else been anyway?
