"My bow is ready," says Aram, eyeing the flying beast in the distance. "I suggest if you have ranged weapons, you keep them ready as well."

OOC: Bevin immediately loads his new crossbow, and strains his brain trying to think of a spell he has prepared that might help.

"I'm sure whatever it is, it's already seen us, let's be ready." Rajah says as he pulls out a small bottle and pops it open, the smell of alcohol heavy as Rajah dabs some on his fingers and trace sigils on his body, which dissolve once Rajah speaks his dark incantation. Looking to his familiar Rajah also says "Razor, please go scout ahead and let me know if you can make out what manner of creature this is."

Razor turns himself invisible and takes off.

The flying creature slowly circles a few more times in the distance. About 10 minutes later, it heads further west and you lose sight of it near the horizon.

A panting Razor finally returns and gives Rajah his report. "It's a big winged lizard. Tail like a cursed imp's. Someone is riding it."

"I only have my magic as ranged weapon. But attack to fast. If it is some kind of animal, I can try to soothe it." Girgal answers.
After hearing the report (or a transcription): "That doesn't sound like an animal. A dragon perhaps. I mean, large scaled and flying..."
ooc: we are 8th level. That much should be common knowledge.

Bevin, Dwarf Rogue2/Wizard(Enchanter)6

OOC: Could the rest of us understand Razor's words? If so, can I make a Knowledge (Arcana) check to see if I know what he's talking about?

Just in case you'll allow it, my check is: 1d20+14 = 27 http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1588795/

OOC: As a player, I have a good idea of what he's talking about, but as a character, well, with a 27, maybe Bevin knows more than Leif?

The little demon gave his report in common, so you heard it.

Bevin can guess that the creature is a wyvern, not a true dragon. It has no breath weapon but does have a poisonous stinger.

 

[Rhun]

"A wyvern, eh? My guess is that it is reconoitering the area, especially if it has a rider." Aram continues to gaze in the direction of the beast. "At least we know it will have to close to melee range if it means to use its stinger."

 

[Jemal]

"Wyvern's aren't exactly the friendliest of creatures, but fortunately their sight and strength are nothing comparted to a true dragon. It's the rider I'd be concerned about. I'll take look out for a few hours in case it comes back." Nargon launches himself into the air, giant bat-wings sprouting once more from his shoulders as he flies above the raft, keeping his eyes open.

Bevin, Dwarf Rogue2/Wizard(Enchanter)6

"I'm none to thrilled about the prospect of tangling with a wyvern, but it would be far supeior to taking on a true dragon. Given the relative sizes of wyverns and dragons, it may perhaps have been a great deal closer than we first assumed. The poison sting plays right into the strengths of a Dwarf!"
