Stooping to see the tracks better, Quarion states matter-of-factly, "These tracks may not be our dragon, actually. If the foul beast is attempting to keep itself unknown, would it not simply take the form of a more innocuous creature, such as a kobold? I have heard of creatures that leave tracks similar to these, though not in this climate. The kobolds could be using the creature as a beast of burden or even an exotic mount for a leader... Though it may be that I am simply overanalyzing what we have found and it is, in fact, our dragon."
