herself and any that need the aid.  Cedious, the pilot, Capio and Cider have a meeting.  Cider still has not revealed his Tiefling bloodline (Feat to look normal) but will share his knowledge of the planes and the possible ½ Fiend taint these creatures had.  Capio’s knowledge of the planes is better and also saw the ½ dragon within these creatures.  He is upset some survived and escaped.  He fears more will come and soon.  Maybe even the parents.  The pilot has no idea what has happened.  Cedious knows only rumors of this plane.  He knows its good vs. bad and that is all.Capio clears his elven throat and begins-  “Shavarath  The Plane of Battles.  Here Fiends, Demons and Devils battle each other and the sides of Light- The Archons.  If not of direct immortal blood then you are merely pawns to be played by one of the three sides.  Their battles began as long as written records have existed and have NEVER stopped.  Some say this plane caused the Day of Mourning.  Others say the war was created because of this plane’s influence.”Cedious looks at him with the “Are you for real?” look.  Cider worries Capio will decipher his secret before long.  The Pilot is wondering what he is doing here in general.“There are many rumors about this place with their connections to Eberron.  Some say the best warriors were taken from the war to battle here.  Some say…”Cedious cuts in.  “History Lesson is over.  How do we get  out?”“Get out?”“Yes.  How do we get out?”Long silence.  “I don’t know.  I am still uncertain how we got here even.”Cedious says something in halfling that can not be said on EN World.  “What good are you?” and he walks away angry.The ship travels another three hours.  The main battle is no longer visible though the open lands show signs of recent combat.  There are no visible mountains and little for water sources.  There are rolling hills in some areas and remains of forts build onto them.  Occasional creatures can be seen taking cover as the ship flies by.The sun is beginning to set when a guard calls out an alarm.  Behind them a huge Gold Dragon.  It appears to following them and watching them.  It shows no signs of aggression nor aid.  Cedious and the others come out and check the creature out.  It picks up speed and comes to fly beside the ship.  It continues to watch the guards and adventurers.  Then flies ahead of the ship for a moment before hovering and carefully landing on the deck of the Griffon’s Wing.Capio bows and in Draconic says, “Welcome Golden One.  What brings you to us?”“Curiosity mortals.  Only my curiosity.”  The huge Gold Dragon stares at everyone one at a time.  He pauses while looking at The Fighter (Warforged), Bob (The Thri-kreen) and Cider (The Tiefling).  “What brings you to the realm of battle?”“We entered a cloud bank and exited into here.  We know nothing else of how we reached here Great One.”Cedious whispers to Bob “What are they saying?”“Bob clicks out “Don’t know.  Can’t speak common well much less dragon”“How long do you plan to stay here?”“I would like to know more of this plane and others but I believe my friends wish to leave sooner.”“Is the golem yours?”“Golem?  Do you mean the Living Construct?  The Warforged.  He is free willed.  He is not a golem.”“Curious and quite wonderful.  He reminds me something of the Maugs we see on the battlefields occasionally.  And what of the insect creature?”“A thri-kreen that uses the powers of his mind.”“Curious.  Very curious.”  There is a long pause.  Many of the guards have gathered on deck to check out their golden visitor.“Well then, I suppose I should warn you.  As mortals, others will seek you out to use you in the war.  Your ship has many possibilities also.  Another warning.  You fought and killed many of the Darkwindwyrm’s children.  He WILL seek revenge.  He is a bit predictable that way.”“Who is Darkwindwyrm?” Capio asks in common.Answering in common, the Gold Dragon says, “A powerful Black Dragon of mixed blood.  He goes by the name of Darkwindwyrm The Beautiful lover.  He has MANY children of mixed blood.”“How do we leave?” Demands Cedious of the dragon.In halfling- “How rude of you.  Let me speak to the courteous elf.”Cedious fumes.“We wish no conflict but relent to the fact this world is in a state of constant conflict.  We can not escape it while remaining here.  How may we leave here?  How can we reach Eberron again?”  He bows again to make up for Cedious’ rudeness.“Leave already?  Perhaps that would be better.  If you continue on this direct and speed you will see the city of Sanctuary.  There are some here that may help you.  Be warned however, most there will still try to use you.”“Thankyou Golden One.”The Huge Gold Dragon gently takes flight and glides away back to the direction of the battle.“Well, Now I wish Taskerdoo did not take those planar travel scrolls with him.  Sanctuary it is.”</blockquote>
