"Yep, amateurs," Agatha adds. "Professionals would hire women with sharp
pointy things." Estra smiles at Ahearn, "Sadly, she is sort of correct."

Agatha responds in evlish which sort of translates to "I don't

Agatha who would really want armor asks, batting her eyes, "Could us
girls all get matching skirts of dragon scale?" Estra is worried there
there is a terrible lack of fauna. She sees it as a bad sign and will
confir with Elmore, Cara, and Xander on that point.

Those who don't know him as long might not have seen this before. He is
smiling, but it looks like he is running things over in his head.He smiles
at Agatha and Estra, and anyone else that is nearby, and he'll say to
Ahearn, sort of under his breath, "I hope this works out. I hope I haven't
led us here to our doom." Then he smirks some more. "Hopefully we can
make Ezanus your friend. Otherwise, We are going to have a lot of matching

So, the large flying object has flown off to the north. We
have no visible indigenous flyers for Carandolana to emulate. Holly can
scout from the air invisibly.
What do we want to do?
We could send Holly to find a landing zone, then ask Xander to
cast his spell complement to get there by air. But there is a large flying
something that could tear through our formation, doing who knows what kind
of damage.
We could trek through on the ground, seeing if Carandolana has
a Druidic version of Turning Undead, impacting the Unnature that protects
Ezanus's lair. Or, simply hacking through it all in our usual destructive
manner. But resistance will stiffen, and the wyrm will be alerted to our
presence much earlier than otherwise.
We could call the hole thing off, retire, and move someplace
safe.
Sean is leaning toward sending Holly out on recon. He is also
willing to do so with a fly spell from Xander, but that might not be
conducive to a lot of recon time.
Thoughts?
