[QUOTE="The Dungeon Nazi, post: 196718, member: 4520"] We were still about half a day's ride outside Shadowdale, on our way back from a keep infested with Cult-allied bandits where we encountered a green dragon. I think we wound up taking refuge below ground until it left. We looked skyward with relief to see a four-man hippogriff-mounted patrol headed our way. As they landed, we listened with much chagrin as we learned that the green wyrm had already come this way and they were scouring the area for it. Instantly, we were beset upon by another group of the brigands from all sides. In the ensuing melee, three of the patrolmen were dropped, and as we secured the clearing and took out the opposition with extreme prejudice, the beast found us as he passed overhead, apparently drawn to the sound of the battle. Our party leader, the ranger, mounted one and took to the sky after him, and the paladin of Helm followed suit. In that single dramatic moment, the rest of us PCs were just blown away at how awe-inspiring and just plain *right* he looked on that animal, and we knew he'd found his mount. It r0x0r3d! Anyway, yes, the hippogriff was quite the interesting mount, and if nothing else, served as a paper-thin excuse to tell this story. [/QUOTE]
