Together the group heads west through the beautiful city streets It is a rather long walk but short compared to the walk out to the ambush site. Soon you arrive at the palace and see the incredible number of Enberton Guards surrounding it. The Captain is easily able to get past the line of guards and ushers you in.Once inside, you can hear a booming voice that doubles in volume when the large double doors are opened into the grand auditorium. The room is filled with dignitaries from all over Enber, dressed in all sorts of formal robes sit in the rows of wooden chairs that face the stage at the end of the hall where King Promus stands at a podium. An elf is standing somewhere in the middle of the auditorium and speaking, unnaturally loud, to the group."It is of greatest import that we all unite together to fight this spawn of the fallen Dark Lord. For who can fight against dragons? Surely our greatest have fallen to the claw and bite of the dragon in Kendrian and Tandra'var at the assault on Thel'Lorean. This great city did not blow itself up!" He shouts, growing angry, possibly at some comment someone else had made prior to him. An elf next to him stands and pats him on the shoulder, cutting him off before he says anything else.The second elf starts to speak. You miss the first of his words because it is muted in the masses but suddenly his voice booms. Out of the corner of your eye, you see a human wizard with a wand, waving it at the newest elf to stand and speak. Cleverly, you see two other wizards who you believe have the same job. "... you know this must be true, for you yourselves have witnessed this dragon when it landed atop the dark tower just south of here before destroying a fishing boat, I'm told." He says. "There it slept for 3 days before it flew north east and ravaged our beautiful city. You know this is true. Most of you saw the dragon for yourselves." With that, the elf sits, concluding his statement. The wizard waves the wand side to side, cutting off the amplification magic on the elf."Nae been a dwarf that sayed he did nae believe ye long ears." A stout, beerbellied dwarf shouts before even the wizard can amplify his voice... and little does this rotund dwarf need amplification. "We be questionin' dem dragon brats o' tha Dark One. Nae hath any seen such a vile concoction of flesh an' scale. We nae thunk et possible fer this matin' ta be true. A dragon we hunts an' kills, but ta war wit who? Nae one we see!"The court goes into a wild array of babbling as dozens and dozens try to reply to the surly dwarf. King Promus shouts out for quiet several times before everyone retakes their seat. The guard captain sighs. "Still in the midst of the summit meeting. I wonder how long it will be before a break? Ye all, take a seat. I'll go see if I can push the king to a break. I'll be right back." He says and with a short bow, he strides toward the stage.</blockquote>
