[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 1190753, member: 3146"] The dream looks interesting. At the moment, there's nothing I could interpret as relating to the specific behavior you're talking about though. It might be more flavorful if instead of explaining what the character is doing, you describe it and leave it to him to interpret it. For instance: "The canary that you somehow recognize as Veheul, lands in front of you. Your vision fades slowly into mist and, as it clears, you hear screams of panic. You are standing in a narrow defile with high rocky walls on either side and a muddy stream running down the center. A woman in the robes of a pilgrim runs past you carrying a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes. An old man with a gray beard is thrown from his panicked and rearing horse into the mud. A dark shadow passes overhead and, looking up, you see the winged form of a dragon streak by and land in the canyon in front of the fleeing woman. His scales flash a brilliant crimson as he furls his wings. As you draw your sword, he reaches out and, with a flick of his tail, sends the woman sprawling. Slowly, he extends his neck towards her as she shies away from him, pulling her baby close to her chest. Before his fangs can close around her, you are there, standing between the woman and the dragon. Your sword rings as you swing it with all your might and leaves a bloody trail of rent scales in its wake. Again, your vision fades, leaving only the canary. "Go and do likewise," he says. [/QUOTE]
