Mine first encounter with another of divine make was... as equally as irksome as yours with the door. It is a sound for sore ears to meet one of more rational thought." The lindwyrm's eyes, shrivelled and un-used to use, squint and spy the Steel Dragon's own fortress atop the primal shell. A single tongue licks the air for a moment before nodding, "Indeed, my own throne has seem misuse with my time abroad, I shall have to take pointers from yours to reach a more presentable state."
>>6320605"But! There is something to be said for taking far afield and seizing that which you cannot otherwise take! Tell me, I wish for some... more mundane knowledge, in a sense, to enable my servants to ever greater heights, and to enable ever more effective methods of seizure. What would you like, in turn?"
A single kosk flaps its pitch wings across the skies, hoisting a bizzare glowing contraption, before coming to a idle circling around the garrison's peak. The creature squawks once before diving down, and laying waste to a patch of sand with a crab scuttling atop it. A searing blue beam streaks out and turns the crab, as well as several square feet of sand around it, into.. nothing. "I've been, in my spare time, working on this contraption for war. It still has some work to be done and kinks to iron out, but it'll be far and a way more effective than any other in this world could potentially field for some time. Not to mention a pack of...surface hounds equally suitable for militant purposes."
"I'd offer partnership, and provide arms for your men to take on the world in exchange for knowledge seized. However..." The kosk and Lindwyrm turn their head at the sound of the finally collapsing door structure. "Perhaps, I have recently realized, another offer I could give unto you, instead. You've bested your door, but I believe I could seize mine this very moment. If you're so inclined, perhaps you would care to join me, bring your merry men and wizard, and we can lay claim to the very source of these portals for ourselves."
"What say you, Kin?"
