The party heads out of the guest house, searching for the source of the noise, presumably the 'curse' the monks warned of. You head towards the blacksmith shed.

It comes around the corner of a building. The ice-blue, serpentine body has six clawed legs, a long tail, and a reptilian head. Though longer than a man it is narrow, so you figure the beast might weigh as much as a man.

"So, um, Aram, is THAT the drake that we're looking for? Oh, brother, anybody got a drink? I must say, gents, I don't like the ill-favored looks of that beast!"

"Well, the beast is certainly out of place," says Aram, drawing his scimitars as he rushes forward to engage the creature. The dervish approaches with care, slashing half-heartedly at the creature, and focusing more on defense than attack.

Nargon too moves to engage, energy crackling along his spiked chain as he swings it about his head. With a toothy smile, the half-orc sends the weapon slashing forward toward the drake with fearsome strength.

OOC: Rajah, much to my surprise, has no training in any knowledge skills, so he has no clue. Bevin has Knowledge (Arcana) +14 (care to roll the check for me, Mr. DM?), and that's the most likely skill to reveal anything useful about the creature. I wonder if, perhaps, Girgal's Knowledge (Nature) might be just as useful?

As Aram and Nargon approach the strange creature they feel an intense chill from it.

Aram slashes with his scimitar but too soon, missing.

Nargon's deadly spiked chain lands solidly on the reptillian creature's back, causing a nasty wound, but the creature remains standing and snarls in anger.

ooc: Girgal, Bevin, Rajah to act.

Bevin casts extended Daze Monster on the beast (save DC 15). Rajah directs Skelete to attack at once. [sblock=Kinem]I assume that you roll Skelete's attack? *shrug*[/sblock]

Rajah turns to command his trusty troll skeleton, but it's not there. Of course! he remembers - the monks had insisted Skelete be left outside the gate.

The creature does not seem dazed by Bevin's spell.
