Story Two
Chapter One: Underway[/center]
Near the Sancrist Crossing
Talidaar’s Galleon the Navigator
A Spelljammer equipped vessel
Characters in this story
Mikal Vardan Captain, Half-Elf, Husband to Las, Father of
their daughter Kira
Passengers
Marilee Las’s twin Sister Sylvan Elf Female
Damara Windrider General from Qualinesti Female
Lashia Wizardess Windrider from Qualinesti
Female
Crew
First Mate Trippleknott “Trip” Spellcracker
At least four crewmen and a cook
The Griffons Sovost and Sovereign are in the Forward Hold.
Story
The Navigator set out from Gwynned port and sailed out to sea.
The crew gets the sails up and moves out of the shipping lane.
Mik helps the crew get everything in order. The women passengers
on the deck watch the activity of the sailors. Lashia and Damara
watch as the half-elf hoisted the sails and felt themselves
getting hot. They may have noticed Mikal was incredibly
handsome, but the ways his muscles glisten in the sunlight. He
was much more attractive than ever they gave him credit for.
Marilee has seen this happen before, to herself and Las. The
captain is more than attractive, he’s like a living, walking
aphrodisiac.
Lashia and Damra has been around for Hundreds of years and has
seen a lot in that time, but they both come to agree He may be
the hottest guy they have ever seen. They both exhale and look
at each other, and laugh about it. Now they understood Las a
little better. Lashia finally says, “I’m just glad Talidaar
isn’t here or I’d never hear the end of it.” The others agree.
Once they are sure the Sea is clear, Las tells Mik to make sure
everything is secure, including the Kender.
The Ship is prepared for flight, and Las climbs into the
Spelljaming Helm chair and places the Helmet upon her head. She
cast the Spelljaming spell and She has the ship rise into the
air.
Trip is jumping for joy, and looking over the rail, and the Sea
below falls away.
The Navigator rises into the Clouds and begins forward movement,
starts them heading North.
They sail over Solamnia, past Palanthas, and are well on their
way, Mik directs Lashia where to travel next on the new heading
of east. “We have to follow the exact course or they will not
appear at all. He shows her the map he pieced together from
different sources. This and the key should get us in.”
“Should?” asks Lashia.
“We have the key, we are minor heroes there, I’m sure everything
will be fine,” Mikal says causally.
“I just don’t like your modal neutralization usage. It's
disconcerting.”
“Im only allowing for the possibility that things might go
sideways. Nothing ever goes according to plan. Ever. But then
I’m flying right now in the air on a ship, I’m new at this,
maybe you people just do things differently.”
“I see your point, no, things have not always been easy, but try
to have some optimism. I have another couple of hours in me
before I am going to have to rest. Alert me when you have the
next course correction, I can’t fly and talk at the same time.
“Got it, sorry, come to this heading, he indicates it on the map
for her. “
Mikal goes above to check on everything on deck. He sees Trip
and Damara on the poop deck and goes up to join them.
“Know where we are Captain?” Damra asks
We have passed Kalaman and traveling to Nordmaar. Making
excellent time I might add. Gods, this is fantastic. I never
dreamed such a thing possible”
“I’ve never been so happy” Trip says, while still looking over
the rail. “Except that one time when I saw the Gold dragon, that
was the best, but this is great, can you imagine the
possibilities we go and do? Thank you Mik, I wouldn’t have
wanted to miss this. Nobody is going to believe me.”
Mik looks out to the east, “big storm, over there.” He points.
Did anybody pray before we left?

Story Two
Chapter Two: Distant Storm[/center]
Coming to the Cape of Nordmaar,
Captain Mikal Vardan informs Lashia about the Storm and they are
due to Turn North
Lashia begins changing direction
The cook reports to Mik that he prayed before they left port.
Mikal thanks the cook and takes another look at the Storm. It
does not appear it is going to be a problem.
He can’t shake the feeling they are being followed somehow. But
he never sees anything. He asks Lashia to enact the charm of
invisibility for a while, He just has a bad feeling. She informs
him that She will have to be set down once they reach the sea.
She will have to rest and memorize some spells. He says he
understands.
“Mikal asks Damara “How much seafaring experience do you have?”
“Not much. I traveled with my people to Southern Ergoth during
the War of the Lance and took a ship to the White Stone Glade on
Sancrist. Tooks a ship to Solamnia. Trying to think where and
when else, but coming up blank. I rode, never was much in a
position to actually man the ship as a Mariner.”
He hands her a charm. “I was supposed to hand these out before
now. They are a charm of Water breathing. Las made these. Just
in case. Keep it with you.”
Distant lightning catches his attention and he looks again for
the storm. It getting bigger and off to the east.
Mikal asks "If they should get the griffon in or out in case we
run into rough weather?"
Damara thinks about it.” Let’s keep them in for now.”
Mikal calls the crew to stations as the Navigator begins
lowering as they pass over the sea.
Lashia turns off the Invisibility charm for everyone’s benefit
topside.
The Navigator gently enters the Sea. The Sails are released.
Before they do anything else. Mikal leads them all in prayer to
Zeboim and asks her blessing for a safe passage.
Once that has concluded, they unfurl the sails and begin their
journey onward.

Story Two
Chapter Three: Attention[/center]
North of Ansalon
The Tubidues Ocean
The Navigator is on its way North. The Storm is off the
Starboard side (right) but far off. Not sure it’s going to be a
problem yet.
Meanwhile
Lashia and Damara are getting some rack time for a while so she
can rest from piloting since they only have one pilot. The crew
is alternating sleep shifts.
After a few hours,
Mikal wakes Lashia and Damara and tells them they need to climb
up fast. Sea elves are climbing on board.
Lashia and Damara run with Mikal out of the Cabin and have to
defend themselves immediately. Damara kicks the Sea-Elf down the
stairs. Trip calls out to Mikal and he rushes to save his First
Mate. Lashia pulls her wand of Force and starts blasting elves
off their feet and some over the side, she then points at the
sails and casts force again and they begin accelerating a bit.
I’m going to have to rememorize the Spell.
Mikal fighting another Sea-Elf off says “Well, keep doing that
with your wand! “
Lashia does it a few more times in succession and the Navigator
begins moving. Lashia says “Enough, I have got to that spell
memorized.” She gets back to the Cabin and Damara guards her
back. Immediate danger seems to be over, but they are still out
there and might come back. She bears her elven long sword and
watches all around for possible attack.
The Ship is rammed by something. Lashia runs out of the cabin
and climbs down to the helm and slides into the seat. She
reports a depressing fact. There’s water coming in somewhere
down here. She places the Helm on her head and casts the spell.
They are rammed again.
The Navigator rises out of the Water, and Lashia yells “Hold on,
I’m taking off!” they begin moving at a higher rate of speed.
Mikal calls for the sails to be taken down.
Everyone is holding on as the Navigator moves faster upwards-
A great mass of a Sea Dragon jumps out of the water and just
misses them and falls back into the water.

Chapter Four: On the Cusp[/center]
North of Ansalon
The Tubidues Ocean
Marilee is on the deck at the railing, feeling wistful, she
misses her Griffon companion as she watches Damara soar through
the sky. Damara and Sovereign fly through the clouds and
reappear and fly past the Navigator on the starboard side. They
come in for a gentle landing and Sovereign returns to the
forward hold. The Storm has turned away from them.
The Navigator begins to move forward towards the Dragon Isles.
Lahia had given Mik an earful once they all caught their breath.
The Sea Dragon had made its presence known in a big way. If they
had been any slower, they would have been destroyed. Lashia does
not berate him. Mik apologizes and tells them he won’t make that
mistake again. Mikal and the crew assessed the damages and went
about repairing the ship. They have tested the ship and the
repairs seem to have worked. Damara reports that she found the
Teeth of Chaos. Mikal tells Lashia they stay to the east of the
Teeth.
After a time and through some trial and error, they land at sea
and move forward through the mist, and the first sign that they
are approaching land is when a pelican lands on the bow railing.
The Navigator moves on the sea, they have made incredible time,
Hundreds of miles in a few hours.
Then Mik sees it. “There!” he yells. “Ahoy.” He points out to
Lashia and Damara the shimmering shield protecting the Dragon
Isles.
Mikal prepares to ring the bell to the ascribed arrival protocol
tones.
They approach the Magic Shield.

Story Two
Chapter Five: The Veil [/center]
North of Ansalon
The Tropical zone
Tubidues Ocean
Mid Morning on their Third Day of Travel
The sea is a beautiful aquamarine that Damara has never seen
before. Lashia and Damara both are in wonder as the Navigator
passes through the shimmering magical shield that protects the
Dragon Isles. They have placed the Crystal Key on the Navigator
to help it pass through the The Veil.
Mikal and Marilee warn Damara and Lashia of the security. They
are demanding, and dragons, so beware.
Mikal tells Trip to be on his best behavior until they reach
Perch.
They see a pair of Dragons soaring past and climb into white
puffy clouds
It is only a short time before two long ships shimmer from the
brass shields affixed to the vessel.
Marilee warns everybody to be cool, it’s the Order of Brass.
They police the Isles and stop any new arrivals.
One ship cuts them off
And the other comes alongside.
Two very large armored individuals come aboard. Each is easily
Eight feet tall. They don’t recognize Mikal at first, or
Marilee. These were two guards at the citadel when they last
came through. Mikal explains who they are.
It is a fanciful story, but they have a key and seem sincere.
They ask if they have anything to declare. Mikal is quick to say
they are on their way to Perch to drop off their Kender friend.
Trip waves to the Two imposing Knights. The Dragon Fear is
affecting Lashia and Damara’s Griffons and the elves themselves.
They ask why they come to the Dragon Isles and Damara says “She
is a General of the Elven Nation. She is here on behalf of the
Speaker to come to the aid of the Elven nation. The Dark Knights
have a large number, over Fifty Chromatic Dragons, mostly Blues
to wipe us out.”
The Dragon Knights look at each other and allow them to pass.
One ship follows them to Perch on the Island of Alarl. The Other
ships with Knights they dealt with are on the other vessel. It
is obviously magic as it is moving away at a fair clip. Lashia
Decides she does not have time for this and climbs into the
chair and gets the Navigator to Perch. Mikal assures him they
will come back for him on their way back.
The Navigator then lifts off, not getting too high, but Marilee
and Mikal direct Lashia to The Misty Isle

Return to the Dragon Isles
Story Two
Chapter Six: Silvers in the City of Gold
[/center]
North of Ansalon
The Tropical zone
North Courrain Ocean
Archipelago
The Navigator soars through the sky on its way to the City of
Gold. Mikal directs Lashia West around the big island, he tells
her to start taking them down.
She is about to do that but she yells “Yikes” Two Silver Dragons
flying at them (From inside the helm, the wearer sees through
the ship, 360° in all directions, up and underneath.)
Those on the deck freak out momentarily as the two dragons
separate fly around the ship, just missing the mast.
Mikal asks Lashia to take it down nice and easy and let’s get
out of traffic.
Lashia agrees with that suggestion.
Lashia directs the Navigator slowly into the water as the
Silvers come back to investigate the ship. Not not every day
they see a flying ship, though, some of them have seen them
before, not many, but some.
Seeing that the Ship is heading towards Aurialastican, they fly
back to the megacity.
The Passengers and Crew of the Navigator don’t know if they
should take that as a good or ill omen.
The Crew gets the sails up and gets to work sailing Northwest
toward the City of Gold.
About an hour later they can see the metropolis gleaming gold in
the sun.
They head north into port. Coming in they see the large port,
but not very many ships. They dock and they let the griffons
out to starch their wings and hopefully not get eaten by a
Dragon.
Mikal and the others stay with the ship while Marilee, Damara,
and Lashia head down the long dock to the city that looms over
them. Aurialastican, The City of Gold. The Sisters look at each
other, never in their dreams have they ever thought they would
ever make it here. They start to enter the city when they are
stopped by two young female elves. They are wearing gorgeous
silver gowns, barefoot, long silver hair, stunningly beautiful,
pure."
Marilee says quietly “I wonder if these are who almost collided
with us” back to the sisters.
The first one says “Hello, we saw your ship, I mean we - “
“We saw it at the last moment.” Coming from the other one.
“Yeah about, I’m sorry, I was impatient and didn’t think about a
possible collision, I should have known better,” Lashia admits.
“But it was very cool.” Says the first one.
“Yes, we have to ask you about your flying ship.” From the
other.
“She’s Ciri,” says the first one.
“And she is Rori,” says the second one.
DM-(So, we are clear, number one is Rori and the second one is
Ciri)
Marilee asks, “Let me guess, Sisters or Best Friends?”
“There's a difference?” Asks Ciri.
“Good point.” Marilee concedes
Lashia provides the answer the girls are looking for. “It’s a
normal ship fitted with a magical device called a Spelljammer.”
“Oooooh.” Says Rori, “We’ve heard of those, but we’ve never seen
one before.”
Damara says “We would show you now, but we need to talk to
somebody important, somebody that can rally dragons together for
a good cause.”
“What is the cause” asks Ciri.
“Saving the elves. Sixty Dragons were preparing to attack the
elven Homeland in the Inath-Wakenti on Ansalon.”
The Silver Elves look at each other, Then Rori asks “If they
know what those words mean?”
Lashia says “Yes, the Valley of the Gods."

Return to the Dragon Isles
Story Two
Chapter Seven: The Council of Wyrms[/center]
North of Ansalon
The Tropical Zone
North Courrain Ocean
Dragon Isles
The Misty Isle
Aurialastican
The City of Gold
The grandest of the Dragon Isles and center of Draconic culture
on Krynn. The Haven of all Metallic Dragons. Home of the only
true “City” metropolis that compares with the great cities of
Ansalon, such as Palanthas, Dalitigoth, or Sanction Vale.
The Silvers take Marilee, and the sisters Damara and Lashia
through the Human Quarter. There are five quarters in this
metropolis, The quarters are racially mixed, but the quarters
are named after the majority race that lives there. The Minotaur
Quarter, The Human Quarter, the Dwarven Quarter, the Elven
Quarter, and the Dragon Quarter. There are areas that are
chiefly only for a particular Race or Clan. Kendertown enjoys
this status, the rest are Dragon Clans. The Silver, Brass,
Bronze, and Copper Areas.
A great plateau rises from behind the Dragon Quarter called the
Dragonheights. Here the Golds and their human and elven
assistants tend to matters great and small. From this plateau,
great huge building or monument of different shapes dominates
the surrounding landscape. The Golden Pyramid is the grandest of
these monuments. They vary in material, some being Stone, metal,
or coral. Others depict something real such as a rampant dragon,
trees, mountains, or ships, Others are more abstract, such as
shapes, rings, and columns. They are all incredibly huge in
scale.
They are stopped once they reach the Dragonheights. This area is
very much off-limits to nearly everyone who is not a Gold. The
story of why they have come is told once again. The Guards look
at each other and bring them to the Great Hall of the Council
where the elves wait for what seems like hours. Damra begins
pacing. Marilee tells them “This is what happened to them the
last time they were here.”
Attendants of the Council come for them, and soon they are in a
great chamber. The Dragonfear hits them as they begin to enter
the chamber. An overwhelming sense of awe and majesty
immediately washes over the Elves. These Dragons are mostly very
old and very powerful. The Elves feel like ants to these mighty
Golds.
The Island is ruled by the Oligarchs, the August Council of
Wyrms. Five Gold Dragons. Regia and Aurumnus, daughter and son
of Auricus are senior members of the Council.
Regia Daughter of Auricus, sister of Arumnus, Fourth Generation
Gold Dragon
Aurumnus, son of Auricus is a Fourth Generation Gold Dragon.
Brother of Regia is known to be the wisest and most analytical,
able to solve very difficult problems and issues.
Giltarald, a powerful Gold Dragon and the former mount of Gunter
Uth Winston.
Amanthus Gold Dragon Impartial, a friend of Othlorx* Dragons of
Taladas.
Iliana Gold Dragon, the youngest among the council.
They are lounging, surrounded by books and treasures that are
near and dear to them, or they serve some magical function.
There are two females and three males.
Damara begins to relate the tale for a third time since they
have gotten to the Island. “My name is Damara Ambrodel, a
Windrider for the Elven Nation. Sixty Chromatic Dragons were
seen over the Burning Sands of Khur. An army of Thousands of
Dark Knights are preparing to make war on the Elves of
Inath-Wakenti. Speaker of the Sun and Stars Githas Kanan
requests the aid of the Good Dragons to help protect the people
of the last Elven Nation on Ansalon. Our need is desperate, I
may already be too late, for my journey has taken many days.”
The Gold Dragons look to one another. Two of them wear
spectacles, they regard the matter thoughtfully and tell the
Elves to wait in the lobby and await their decision. Just then,
a man runs into the chamber.
“Suhnrysanti, what is wrong?” asks one.
"Nothing my lord, I bring word of the arrival of-”
“They know who I am Suhnrysanti, it's alright.” A tall elf
strides to the center of the chamber. He is dressed in a Blue
Robe and carrying a walking stick. Another older man standing
just outside the room, seems to have came with the tall elf.
“Lord Palidine!” The Council exclaims, and all lower their
heads.
“Now, I’ve told you I don’t go by that name anymore, but I
forgive your lapse.” The tall elf turns around and tells the
elves still present that they left without him. “I was this
close to joining the voyage, but I just missed you at New Ports.
I had to call in a favor." He points to indicate he was talking
about his old friend Pyrite.
The Elves are in disbelief. This is truly Lord Palidine or
rather, his mortal form. Valthonis, the Walking God.
They fall to their knees.
He tells them "Now, stand up, You are embarrassing me. Happens
everywhere I go." He begins helping them up in turn.
“Now, where was I before all the fawning went to people's heads?
Oh yes, what is there to think about? He asks the council. Now
I know you are all wary after all the bad that has happened to
our kind. I don’t know much anymore, but I know irons are in the
fire. Follow me? Things are happening out there in the world and
you are staying separate from it. Are you othlorx* are you still
a part of this world?
Valthonis knows what they are all scared of. Not coming back.
Not carrying on the line. One of Lord Paladines’s last
commandments to the Metallics was the proclamation to procreate
and hide the Eggs in the vault beneath the Pyramid. His mate
the Goddess Mishakal has placed blessings on all of the Good
Dragons in the wake of the War of Souls. She has promised to
protect the vault for the propagation of the Metallic Dragon
races. Many of the Metallics pulled back to the Isles in the
wake of the War of Souls and the Fall of their God. They have
carried out his orders and there has been a miracle for the
females of the Metallics, nearly all have laid hatches. the
number of Dragons that were left is what scared the Metallic the
most and now.
He says “If you all did what I told you to do all these last
years, then your future is ensured. Come on, what do you say?
* The name othlorx translates directly as "The Uninvolved".

Aurialastican
The City of Gold
The Dragons are given a choice, seventy-eight decide to aid the
elves, and The Rest stay to defend Dragon Isles and the clutches
of eggs. There are no hard feelings. Somebody has to stay and
defend the place.
The Valthonis joins elves as they wind their way through the
streets. At a corner cafe and find Longshot A Kender that they
all know and have known for over fifty years by all rights
should have retired long ago. He still looks the same as he did.
That unsettles the Elves. When they ask. He swore he would never
tell anyone. He’s fine, he’s great. He hears about the Dragons
flying to help the Elves. He asks if he can come back with them.
Marilee answers of course you can. and then Marilee sees the man
that she knows well. tall, dark, and handsome. He and her had a
thing she thought was going well, and then he was gone without a
word.
Shimmer walks up the steps to her and she slaps him.
“I deserve that.” The man says.
She slaps him again.
“Have you had enough?”
“Tell me you are sorry for leaving without saying goodbye.”
He exhales looks around and says “I am sorry for leaving without
saying goodbye.”
“Are you going to Khur?” Marilee asks.
“No, I am a Member of the Order of Brass, our place is to Defend
the Dragon Isles.” The Dragon Says.
“I’m headed in the other direction. I’m headed to Khur. “Marilee
says and adds, “I hope I can find a Dragon that will want to
stay around. Or stay with me.” Marilee says the first part
vindictively, but the last part in a small voice.
Shimmer grits his teeth and says “Alright, let's do it. I’ll go.
We will try this again.”
Marilee gets on her tippy toes and hugs this man.
Valthonis watches the whole exchange. "Young love, can't live
with them, can't live without them." The rest of the elves did
not mean to pry but it kind of unfolded right in front of them.
Lashia and Damara decide to order a drink with with their Kender
friend Longshot and give the hugging couple some time to
reconnect.
The Dragons are gathering together. Some are late deciders,
others find a better reason to stay.

[center]Return to the Dragon Isles
Story Two
Chapter Eight: Longshot[/center]
Dragons are still gathering on the Island.
Lashia, her sister Damara, the kender Longshot, and Valthonis
are sitting, having a drink, listening to where Longshot has
been the last many years.
Longshot explains he was exiled from Hylo by Belladonna Juniper
for trying to foment a rebellion.
Damara laughs. “You, you tried to do what?”
“She was mean and passing all these laws, she took the fun out
of Kender.”
“Now, to be fair, she has been overzealous in her rule. “
Valthonis says.
“Thank you, I wasn’t trying to set out to be violent; I just
didn’t like where I saw things going. So, I rallied support
against her. Well, things sort of got out of control. So, I
left. Went sort of all over. Lived in old Kendermore for a
while. Is not the same. It was too sad to stay. So, I kept
getting on boats until I got here. it's been so wonderful. The
most wonderful place ever. You never know when you might be
speaking to a dragon.”
The sisters quietly agreed not to tell Longshot who Valthonis
was.
They eventually meet up with Marilee and they walk down to the
ship. Mikal waves at them. The Elves catch Mikal up on what is
going on. He congratulates Damara and Lashia for getting them to
listen. The elves just say that they had help in the end.
Lashia asks Marilee if she is okay.
Marilee just smiles and says she’s okay.
Marilee thinks she should have known how powerful it would be to
see him again. She sort of was not prepared to see him, though
she knew the chance was inevitable. It was powerful while they
were together and then he was gone. She hid it from everyone but
her sister about how much it hurt. After a while, she moved on.
But seeing him ripped it all away. She was going to play cooler
than she did. Oh well. How often is one going to make it back to
the Dragon Isles? She says that and wonders if that is the
compromise she is headed to.

Dragon Isles
The Misty Isle
Aurialastican
The elves and Longshot visit the location where the Dragons are
gathering, inland a bit from the city, through a jungle
environment to a open vale.
The sun shines down onto the various scales of Golds, Silvers,
Bronze, Brass, Copper. Roughly Eighty have agreed to come. They
range in age, most are adult or above. There are fewer numbers
of Golds than the other metallics. Fewer numbers of Silver
Dragons. Brass and Bronze and Copper are contributing in larger
numbers
Two Golds are polymorphed with golden hair come to the Elves. It
is Quallathon* and Suhnrysanti (Sunrise). The First one tells
the Elves that “some of the dragons have their mount’s saddles.
There will be more at Sancrist. We have a few very sacred
mounted Dragonlances. But only enough for five. We have six
more footman Dragonlances. As you can see, that will not be
enough, are there more being made?”
Valthonis looks at the other Three Elves, Marilee, Lashia, and
Damara. Damra yells “Dammit! Why the Abyss didn’t I think of
that?”
Several Dragons look over at the elves.
Valthonis “Now it is not really all that bad. See, A couple
months back, I talked to an old friend as we were playing dice
as sometimes, we do when we get together. I old him that I had
heard evil was afoot, I passed along to him and mentioned we
might need to get the fire going if you know I mean.”
“You have people already working on Dragonlances?” Damara asks.
“Well, I hope they are that far along. But we are going to have
to go there in your Flying ship and see if they have made any
progress.”
Damara kisses Valthonis on the cheek, turning him red, and
shouts for joy.
Valthonis says to the Golds “Send a strong show force to the
Elves. Sancrist will have stored equipment, as far as saddles,
and some Lances. Many dragons will have to fly to Foghaven and
get equipped There will be some in Solamnia, trying to think
where they might have them stored… The High Clerist maybe? And
you say to that new emperor of Solamnia if he gives you any
trouble, tell him You will be there for him if he is there for
you. He’s a smart lad, he’ll figure out what you are saying. If
any Knights want to come and help the elves, it would be a good
gesture on their part. Remind them they are still Knights and
Protectors of Good.
Valthonis tell people “Everyone should be aware. The Hammer of
Honor is under the mountain, its closed up, Reorx just can’t get
in. So, he is devising a way to get in, but that does not help
us, so these will be lesser lances, but should still do the
job.”
Damara tells Lashia that she needs to be going to Foghaven to
pick up lances to bring to Inath Wakenti.
“Fine, but I’m stopping to see my kids first. I'll just have to
meet people there. "Lashia says.
Damara says she going to try to find a ride to take her to Inath
Wakenti. The sisters embrace and then go their separate ways.
The polymorphed Gold Dragon Quallathon* tells Damara He will be
her mount to the Elven Valley.
Damra says “Thank you. That is kind of you.”
Longshot the kender is torn. He wants to see the Dragons all
lift off and fly into the sky.
He wants to ride a dragon and see where the Elves live now with
Damara.
He also wants to go on the Spelljammer and fly to see Lashia’s
kids and the Monument of the Silver Dragon and make
Dragonlances.
He starts to shake but being on the ship while Dragons flying
with the ship wins. He runs to catch up with the tall elf,
Lashia Marilee, and Shimmer as they head to the port.

during the War of Lance
