Like most missions, this one begins in the Library. A flyer is posted on the brag board showing a ratty, dark-skinned missionary with pictures of little, dark children. It looks like the standard organizational flyer for sending aide overseas. The real message is that Father Christianson has lost one of his peeps. He's offering a smalll reward for tracking the guy down, finding out what happened, and bringing the news back. Father Christianson is a dragon known to be a traveling pastor/rev/priest for a number of rural parishes. He's assumed to be friendly with hatchlings. |

Found a little parish village, talked to a kid on the street, and the kid's mother, heard Fr. Christianson was having lunch up at one of the three 'big houses' in the area. He's never one to miss a good meal. Went up to the houses, shown into the house, invited to the gentleman's table. Fr. Christianson in a black cassock w/a rope belt, not-quite-graying hair cut short, stands and greet ladies. Newcomers seated at end near the gentleman's two late-teenage daughters. |

Pandora- makes impression on young ladies. Return to church to talk to father. Father is missing his retainer, lost in jungles of Guar. Mostly concerned with wandering tribes of cannibals; haven't heard from fellow in 2x last report time due. Pulls out pic of tall man, grey grizzled hair, tanned skin, rangy, not much meat on him- hard life, not heavily scarred. This is Quin. He's one of my agents. Can give map of usual range, but as he does exploring as well, might not be in usual areas. Emily grabs map and picture. "I'll be around when you have news." Pandora asks, how do get to this area? (map is only territory in Guar). Gets a few directions, to rock face in jungle area. Fr. says have to find your own waterfall to climb up, the way in tends to shift and change. |

Get to Guar, search around. Find two humans, small and dark, hiding in trees. Chase them down. One is seared by Artemis' light ray, in the back of the knees. She gets yelled at for killing him as he falls over, dead. Xian jumps the other one, lances him with a glancing blow from lightning breath, rolls him over and holds him there as she berates Artemis. Devolves into a formal challenge from Xian to Artemis. Artemis doesn't formally accept until she is done talking in circles about how she didn't mean to kill him, and it was a blowpipe dart that did it. Emily and Pandora sneak off and chase after the man Xian let go, then hide in trees once he escapes them. Battle rages through the trees for a while. Xian is bigger and less maneuverable, can't get Artemis to take to open sky (duh!). Artemis gets a few blows in. Emily and Pandora hide in trees, watch natives come back from vague area of mountain range, with nets, spears, other ranged weapons. Fight lasts hours as the men set up on the grounds below. Eventually, Artemis tires and flies into a net hung with sprigs of bright red berries.. and 6" thorns. Pitch or sticky stuff on nets tangles her, she goes crashing. Xian comes in to drive humans off her target, gets driven off instead by barrage of blowdarts (thin and sharp enough to slip between scales!). One dart lands in her tail, making numb spot. She flees high above canopy. Artemis uses breath beam to break lower parts of nets after itching, twisting and thoroughly tangling herself in the vine nets. Starts running. Leads merry chase with warcry behind her, eventually realizes she is headed wrong way to escape them before running out of energy, and turns back in big loop towards the river they came up. Emily and Pandora in human form have started walking back up the native's trail, hear crashing sound of Artemis. (Xian circling above canopy, following by sound). Pandora places self in Artemis' path, waves arms, commands 'stop!'. Artemis stops. does sorry dog tricks. party gets taken to village after dragon is released. Xian is found in human form and brought along as part of strangers. Meet with headwoman, decrepit old lady in hut. Xian left outside village wall to watch dragon. Story is apparently told. Woman is carried forwards to look strangers in the eyes. Seems to recognize Emily is not human. Pandora finds trade Latin in common tongue (neither know well). Asked to leave village. Ask about missing man. Told village beyond mountains have rumors of a 'tall man'. Asked if will come back for funeral feast, 3 suns, when spirits have had time to leave bodies. Pandora says of course. |
