Finding an unprotected entry, he and Tash were entering the building, and carefully making their way to the room he saw the dragon fly into. Shadow hovered a little bit back.
Well, I can try and be polite...
He knocked on the door, and opened it. He was a bit surprised at the mass of people in the room, but he didn't let it show. Though he was sure his and Tash's entry was surprising, too...
"Good evening, ladies and gentleman. I hope I'm not disturbing you..." He drew back his hood, and smiled in a non-toothy smile.

Caoimhin smiled and chuckled looking around "You would be thinking they would, wouldnt you? I swear, never trust priests to keep the rif raf out...I should know. We havent been eaten by anything yet today...so I'm not too worried..."

Caoimhin shook his head, a hand leaning on the hilt of his blade as he regarded the latest arrival to the increasing crowd.

"Oh, I'm sorry for interrupting...whatever you've been doing. I'm Duncan, and this is my friend Tash," pointing behind him to, well, the shadows, "and my shadow." he cleared his throat.
"But anyway, I was looking for those people responsible for the little fireworks in the arena. I'm looking for action, so to speak. I saw that dragon here," he nods towards her, "and thought it'll be an interesting place to visit."

"Why thank you," he smiled. Tash besides him only grunted. "But I prefer to stand, really. Wouldn't some well-applied torture make her more...talkative?"

Flames, chaos, and people running in the street with no readily apparent purpose were all that was visiuble in the city. Wearing a simple robe, with his wings carefully folded underneath, Secquon observed the activity with a mixture of amusement and frustration as he made his way into town. 'It figures' he thought, 'I would miss all of the fun. Stupid Ogre marauders.'

"Oh well," he raised an eyebrow, "if you want to make it more complicated... But you must have something different to make her talk. People being interrogated tend to be a bit close-lipped unless...encouraged."

++think I might be a bit behind here++

Whilst walking through the city, the sight of a dragon sweeping across the city catches Rahnort's attention. "A dragon amongst a city can lead to no good end." he mutters to himself, and sets off towards where the dragon was headed. Upon coming across an abbey, Rahnort whispers a quick oad to himself, and marches to the abbey door, and pushes it open, shouting "Dragon why are you he... By the hammer of a nobeards son, what the hell is going on here?" upon seeing a dragon and several others, as well as one with lowing eyes.

Even among the rampant confusion, a dragon was still a noticeable sight. Unfortunately, it was to far away to be certain exactly where it disappeared to, but it was certainly far more interesting than listening to the whining of the people crowding the streets. Secquon set off in the direction the creature disappeared in, hopefully the area he'd have to search wouldn't be too large.

Tash glowers at the newcomer, and grabs his greataxe.

"Hm, did I miss a city-wide invitation, or is it getting awfully crowded here?" Duncan dryly observes. He carefully eyed the newcomer. "And who may you be?"

Caoimhin keeps his blades sheathed, though his hands remain near them, watching the latest arrival. "If this carrys on it will be the entire city, havent the priests ever heard of a lock..." He looks thoughtful for a moment and then shakes his head with a smile.

++Yikes! DM might want to cap new players++

I have the cleric brew up some Bull Strengh potions (listed on charachter sheet).

++Also, I miscalculated last time. Turns out my char was a bit closer to 18ft tall and 1.7tons. Goddam that's a FUN spell.++

Malk just sort of sat there chuckeling at his friend's high strung nature. He was almost impervious to any enemies that may attack and he knew it. Though he hadno desire to use his massive power at this juncture... He found the entire happinstance somewhat amusing.

Tormantineth looked around the crowded room in awe. Many people, elves, humans, glowey people, and a griffon! Wow... griffons are nice, and people who are friends with them are usually nice people too. But the one calling her a draconic friend, she didn't know, he seemed too much like her mama, very exasperated at all the people barging in and about to smack them. And there was someone on the floor, all tied up. Maybe a bad person?

.... I can leave if you're busy.... spoken in the voice of a child unsure if she's in trouble or not

Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.
