I saw a lot of movement far away, but now it's too dark to tell. Not good... How is he doing? Fae: He's breathing! I-I can't wake him up, his skin has gone cold and... brittle? Something feels very wrong about it... Fae: Come on, mister Guardian Dragon...! <Dragon>: Get up and fly, old guy! They're gonna eat you if you don't wake up! | *Insistent slapping and pleading roars* <Character>: Those monsters are going to keep coming to finish the job. And if whatever took him down in the first place is still out there... *The Guardian Dragon awakes as he tells you, your dragon, and Fae to...* Guardian Dragon: R...un... Fae: No way! You have to get up! <Character>: I'm not leaving you to get eaten by those carrion plant freaks, so save your breath! <Character>: Can you get up? *The Guardian Dragon starts to be unconscious again.* Guardian Dragon: Nng... *The Guardian Dragon transforms to his human form as he becomes unconscious again.* Fae: He's out cold again... *Fae tries to carry the Guardian Dragon, however, it proves to be heavy for her.* Fae: ...And still kinda heavy... <Character>: I'll help. Let's get him on the cart and get out of here quickly. Can you find us somewhere to hide, Fae? Fae: I know some spots, but... Fae: Not good enough for this... Fae: We have to find them in the dark, with a horde on his trail, trying to search quietly but also making noise with the cart, a-and then if they find us... Fae: ...I can't fight through the night. I'm sorry. <Character>: Hmm... *You assess your options until you decide to let Fae go to Willowshire.* <Character>: Can you get to Willowshire from here? Fae: ...Just me? Fae: I can find a path, but what about you? <Character>: I'll pull the cart myself and defend him if anything shows up. <Dragon> can alert me if anything comes for us. Fae: That's... ! I can recover from all that running, but I just made you follow me around on an adventure all day! Fae: Is it really alright to leave you behind like that?! You'll draw attention when you look for my markers, and-- <Character>: Fae. You're the best one for the job. I believe in you, so if you can believe in us, we'll be fine. Fae: O-okay. I'll do my best. <Character>: Good. Ready to take the lead? Fae: No, but let's go! *You are now in the Deadlands; you fight various monsters as you put the Guardian Dragon in a cart during your relocation to Willowshire.* <Character>: I've never seen anything like those... We need to get away as soon as we can! <Character>: He's not looking too good back there... Is this the shortcut Fae went through? Guardian: There they are! Let them through! Come on through, <Character>, Fae is already here! *Eventually, you and your dragon regroup with Fae and Guardian Fortuna in Willowshire's Guardian Tower; your dragon looks at the unconscious Guardian Dragon in his bed.* Fae: *COUGH* Ow... A-Atchoo! <Character>: Thank you so much for the save. Guardian Fortuna: Thank this young lady. She did a number on herself to get here. Guardian Fortuna: She said she couldn't just get you here, and had to make sure we were ready too. <Character>: You pushed yourself so hard... Can we help somehow? Fae: I'll be alright-- Fae: ATCHOOOO! *COUGH* *COUGH* *Fae's arm moves upward after she sneezes from exhaustion.* Fae: Can't talk. Need a bit. Guardian Fortuna: Now, you all clearly need to recover, and we'll gladly protect you while you do, but I need to ask... *Scene shifts to focus on the unconscious Guardian Dragon.* Guardian Fortuna: What on Lore is going on?! *Scene cuts to black.* Complete Quest Loot for DCs - opens RB Loot for DCs shop.
