>>5294649You have with you the Put-Guard and his Apprentice, and with the two Degenerates. Your other forces, primarily noncombatants but also Glowie, the Theif, and the Bastard, having all fled at your own order. IF you could just go to them, or summon them here, you would have enough forces to split, and to chase the barbed devil AND the Devourer…

Your own mana is reduced, your firelung stocked enough for perhaps one more gout of flame with the intensity of your first. You cannot let the Devourer get away—you WILL not lose this chance for a glorious and heroic return…
And somewhere, in your dragon-soul and in your spirit, you feel the pull of an instinctive draw. You have a brief flash of a vision from earlier…
