"My name is Grannt.  And you are right, we have canceled our celebrations. Giant flying drakes have been attacking our village for no reason, and it's getting worse every day!  Until yesterday, they were content to just hunting our livestock, but they killed a young man yesterday morning.  A lad by the name of Barnum, he wasn't no older than 20."Grannt starts to go on, but is interrupted by a woman's scream from a few cottages over.  A middle-aged man is running past and calls out to Grannt and the adventurers "The drakes are back!  Landis' farm!  We have to help them!" and he points back towards a small farm about 150 yards away.  You then hear a horrible, bestial screech coming from that direction, gripping the villagers with fear and rooting them to the ground.  The sound of claws raking through timbered planks in unmistakable, coupled with the excited flapping of leathery wings.  The creature is nearby and eager to feed.You run to the farm and see a drake on top of the farmhouse trying to tear through the roof.  Another one is on the ground trying to get into the far side of the house, and a third is on top of a barn where the farmer has presumably locked up his animals for protection.[sblock=Map]<img src="http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/1844/drakes0.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />[/sblock][gm]You all have initiative/surprise, as the drakes are distracted with trying to break into the cottage/barn.[/gm][sblock=Enemies]Drake 1 - uninjuredDrake 2 - uninjuredDrake 3 - uninjuredWarwing Drakes are large enough to hold a rider, but these drakes are rider-less and appear to be feral.AC-18FORT-17REF-15WILL-16[/sblock]</blockquote>
