[Unbounded World:The Aeterian Expedition] (Now With New And Improved Amulets!)

Duncan continues to observe the creature as it flies closer, when its about 100' away Duncan makes out the small scaled form of what he recognises to be a brass dragon, although it is far smaller than the ones he has head of.

"A little dragon? Now that's something interesting." he steps into the tent to wake up Teppic, and tells him to wake up the others too, then he goes back outside to welcome the dragon, his hand raised in a greeting gesture, but also ready to grab the sword on his back.
 

Duncan wakes Teppic and when he's stepped back outside the dragon has landed near the tent. At this close range you can see it appears to be wounded, though the wound is somewhat healed as if a couple of days old, and somewhat exhausted.

Seeing Duncan's greeting the creature suddenly starts babbling

"My father's contact saw you in the city you must help me, the fiend it killed my parents, they were supposed to stop the evil in the tomb escaping but it has and now they are dead please you must avenge them the silver fiend it must be stopped please if you can kill it you can have their horde the evil must be stopped I tried to help them but I'm to young to weak please you must help me please please if you do I can show you a shorter way to the temple you must help please I'll do anything they must be stopped. "

The small dragon then stops panting in exhaustion.
 

Teppic awakens the other two and steps outside to join Duncan and Lochnan, catching the majority of the speech. He sticks his head back inside the tent.

"Talsia, we need you out here."

Then he turns his attention to the dragonlet.

"Do not worry. We will assist you, in every way possible."
 

Duncan notices the dragon has Teppic's trust, so he nods at his words.
"Now you've find us, please take a deep breathe and relax. Oh, my name is Duncan, by the way. Some call me the Brown Warrior."
He sits in front of the dragon on the hot sand.
"Now tell us what happened, slowly, from the beginning. Who is this silver fiend?"

The small dragon seems to calm a little at Teppic's promise of assistance and after a few minutes of panting and regaining its breath it begins again

"I am sorry, I was so flustered I forget to even introduce myself, which is unacceptable since I already know your names, I am Zerren. And to begin the silver fiend is a beast from Baator, my father says that what it was bred from was called a bullette, but this one has a great deal of fiendish power in it, it has bats wings and is far more powerful than most of its kind, it slew both my parents, without even being badly damaged, I tried to help but it repulsed me with no effort at all.It has taken over my parents lair. "
 


" I think it was brought forth by the evil within the temple and released to deal with my parents, so they could not hinder its plans. I flew away after I proved unable to harm it while it was attacking my parents, I was to scared to stay. "
 

Talsia awakens from her sleep with slight surprise but quickly adjusts to the scene before her eyes. She focuses her healing energies on the dragon, hoping to heal the rest of its injuries (sacrificing Daylight for Cure Serious Wounds 3d8+15).

"Be calm. If the situation seems as bad as it sounds we will follow your lead, and, Paradox willing, I may be able to ressurect your parents come my next prayers."
 

As Talsia reaches out to touch the dragonlet it slips back and shakes its head.

"I will be of no use in the battle to come, you should use the healing energy on your own wounds. The creature is very dangerous. "
