the dragon rumbled, taking in the damage all around them, their jaws grinding together as they rumbled, flicking their tail. it was past time that they started to make a move on the bandits, and they needed to send out some of their group to spy, to find information on the bandits and where they had fled to after the storm destroyed some of the territory. there was a lot that needed to be done, and they needed paws on the ground to be able to handle this. rumbling as they paced, the dragon made their way to the half lake towers, grateful for the fact that the bandits hadn't seemed to have made any moves on reclaiming the land after they had ripped apart several enemies on the way there.

arriving at the location, the dragon climbed up part of one of the towers, taking a deep breath and roaring, "ALITHIANS! GATHER AT THE MID LAKE TOWERS, NOW!", they ordered, manuevering back down to ground level with a deep booming sound, waiting for their group members to arrive before them. here the plans to deal with the bandits would be made and discussed and certain roles would be assigned. they were eager to get this problem handled, and they had a lot to say about this matter.

watching as the two appeared before them, the dragon rumbled lowly, angrily, violence curdling in their veins. they'd let things go this far, and it had gone too far, their daughter was dead, a son injured, many faces missing from their ranks. giving a deep sound as they arrived, "we are discussing the bandits - specifically a raid on them.", they boomed, eyes harsh and angry before they shook their head. "we need to make a plan, on how we are going to deal with these bastards. they've taken too much from us, they've given us pain and chaos. i say it's time we give it back to them", they boomed, lips curled up, pacing as they snarled, tail lashing aggressively. they gave a low snarl, shaking their head to control their agitation.

shaking their head to fend off the thoughts fueled by rage, the dragon gave a deep booming rumble, "i want you to go scouting, take as many as you want with you but do not go alone. i want you to track down where those bastards are hiding, asteri. report back to me with your findings, try not to engage unless its necessary.", they ordered, turning their head to playerone with a dip of their head, "playerone, i want you to follow asteri. for now, let's set up a plan. i remember laeglin saying that he heard them in the tunnels along the cliffside, and i remember that they had ran off across the territory when the cliffside housing began to collapse in that storm.", they boomed with a growl, talons flexing against the ground.

shaking their head in mute anger, they puffed out a deep breath, "when we find their camp, we will wait. they won't exchange guards, they don't think that this is a big deal, that we are weak. we are not to be underestimated as they will soon find out. i'll lead the charge when it happens. no. i'm going to lure them out, when we find them. i do not want anyone else serving as the one to start this. i will be the one to draw them out. if i fall, do not turn back to help me, focus on driving or killing as many of them as possible. we will be sending our children to palmclan's nurseries. we are the first and last line of defense. i'll say it now, but it's been a pleasure fighting with all of you. i do not expect that we will come away without injury." they growled, looking over them with a misty look to their eyes, lips twisted up in a silent snarl.
