*Sees the cave he trembled in fear he didn't want to go near the cave after seeing what had happen to his friends he was still covered in the blood I'm the haste they made to leave his wounds weren't fully healed and neither did the blood get cleaned, he didn't want to tell them at this point where the actual cave was he wanted to leave even if he had to lie*
Jenna
*As they approached the cave and saw the boy was terrified the hunter knew this was the right place and stopped his cart while holding an open palm in the air to signal the others to stop. He then leans over and whispers to not attract unwanted attention.* "Okay, so when you went in there what time was it?"
Lynn
*Tries to think about the time he looked to the sky quietly*

`"It was mid day."`

*He was close to pissing himself from the fear*
Jenna
"Alright lad, not to worry me and the boys are experts in handling these type of things. Now was it asleep when you entered?"
Lynn
`"Just let me leave..."`

*He said as he tries to run*
Jenna
*The Hunter quickly grabs him by the collar and yanks him back.* "Answer the bloody question so we won't be the next ones to get sent to Hades! Lad, it's extremely important to know what type of dragon we're dealing with so we can kill it. Now, was it asleep and how long ago did it attack you?"
Lynn
*Felt his collar grabbed he was half chocking but he spoke thinking it was best it not piss them off*

`"It was awake it was awake, it was 3 hours ago it was big enough to be probably 20 horses"`

*He cried as tears rolled down his face*
Jenna
*The Hunter let's go of him.* "Thats all I need to know." *He makes a movement with his hand and the brigade begins to quietly take up positions starting with a ballista at the front of the cave and then the rest to the sides.*

*The Dragon Hunters take up their positions and the ring leader seeming satisfied with everything looks toward the front of the cave ballista operator who is shaking in his sabatons. He then looks toward the rest and have them raise their shields and the other ballistas at the ready. He then gave the "Fire at will!" Motion with his hand. The entrance ballista operated nods and releases the ballista that goes blindly into the cave and the operated immediately runs away.*

*The hunters heard the ballista hit a wall of the cave which echoed out of the entrance. They waited in anticipation with adrenaline kicking in their systems. The infantry drew the swords and kept their shields up, while the other ballista remained at the ready with their operators sweating up a storm due to the immense pressure they were under.*

*The hunters continued to wait and see if the dragon takes the provocation, with the majority of them getting impatient due to the adrenaline.*

*With nothing appearing to be happening the terrified entrance ballista operator reloaded it and sent another bolt flying in and the proceeded to run out of the way again.*

*The dragon hunter ringleader facepalms.* "It would seem this one is smart he mutters." *He then would try his next tactic. He then takes a deep breath.*

*With still no response from the dragon, the men begin to shrug at eachother.* "Damn, this thing's intelligence." *He goes and grabs an extra pair of sabtons and takes a deep breath again.*

"God damn it! That thing isn't going to come out or even make a peep." *The ringleader shook his head and sighed.* *He pointed to 5 random individuals.* "You five, go in there and scot ahead." *The now mortified five hunters reluctantly nodded their heads and quietly entered the cave.*

*The ringleader heard his poor men screaming in agony as the sound of dragon fire was heard. He shook his head as the five men he sent to their deaths died screaming in agony.* "Alright then so that's how it's going to be."

"Smoke them out! They may be able breath fire, but can they take the fumes?!" *The dragon hunters try their next tactic, they have now built fires in front of the caves entrance and fortunately for them the wind blew in the favorable directions. Smoke then began flooding into the cave.*

*Luckily for the hunters after they had set the fires, they ran away as soon as the task was done. Black fire seeped out of the cave's entrance providing more fire to already existing ones generating more smoke that billows into the cave.*
Kacey
**With the increase smoke she lets out a snarl and bolts out the cave before suffocating. Although it was a risk move she sent a wave of flames towards the hunters to cover her escape for a brief moment. Then using that to seek higher ground.**
Jenna
*DH as soon as the ringleader standing on the wagon to the left side of the cave saw her come out he yelled.* "Harpoons!" *The ballistas that were set on both sides of the cave launched their roped ballista bolts at her attempting to wound and bind her down. Her wave of black flames went in front of her and vaporized the front line infantry consisting of 100 men, turning them into melted steel and flesh.*
Kacey
**The dragon beautifully black scales dragon screams in agony as one harpoon sinks into her back legs as she flew up.**

"Foolish humans! How dare you invade my home!"

**With the flick of her tail, it's large scales torpedoing towards the ballista that had shot her attempting to break it.**
Jenna
*The ballista breaks with her smashing through it and sending the operators flying into the air dying instantly as soon as they splat back on the ground.* *The ringleader saw an opportunity and took it.* "The beast is in the air, second line go inside and kill the young! Third line move in!" *From the 2 corners of the cave's entrance 50 spearmen with heavy armor and dragon piercing spears head in single file on each side into the cave. While the third line consisting of 100 men marched underneath the beast and raised both their shields and spears bracing for impact.*
Lynn
*By this point had been covered in the blood and guts of many fallen he had played unconscious for most of the battle that had taken place getting thrown previously to many other items breaking he woke up slowly his breathing heavy and shallow he realized the bindings around his hand the rope to lead him was cut away he ran away to a small side entrance inside the cave with a limp he found his way away from the battle*
Kacey
**One tail pulled harpoon out and the others began to smash the other ballista to pieces. It primal instinct kicked in and as the men filed behind her she drove down and smashed into them, trying to pry the wall of shields open and then burn them alive with her flame. She was trying to get back to her gold.**
Jenna
*Thats what the armored spearmen were waiting for, not exactly for the same reasoning as the dragon as they thought she would attempt to go back in for her young not her gold. The fire she breathed on the third line indeed melted their shields away, however their armor though charred from the flames that got past the shields were still in fighting shape. As for the 100 men in the mouth of the cave they had their shields up and charging her with dragon piercing spears, and the third line of 100 humans behind her follow suit casting away their now useless shields. She is now surrounded on both sides with the humans attempting to pierce her underbelly and sides with spears!*
Kacey
**The many spears pierce her skin, causing blood to drip from the wounds but the wrathful dragon whips around, hitting them with her many tails and black flames. It's movements only begin to slowly as her body reacts to the blood lose.**
Jenna
*Her tails would smash against the third line smacking them away like flies as they got their spears attacks in, they died immediately on impact. The last 100 men in the mouth of the cave continued their onslaught of spear pokes into her underbelly while their shields take the brunt of the black flames slowly melting them away. The ringleader who had remained on the wagon all this time jumped down and removed his cloak revealing charred black armor, with a black cape made of a dragon wing. He drew his sword and slowly made his way toward his next trophy victim.*
Kacey
**The dragon falls to her side with a defeated growl. In it weakened statue it had come back to its senses.**

"Dam humans... Let me warn you now... Don't touch my children or my gold!"

**She chuckles one last time before it falls into its eternal slumber.**
Jenna
*With her final fall, she killed the remaining 100 men, leaving only Erdthand standing. Without hesitation, or even a pause to mourn the dead, he went up to the collapsed dragon and petted her her frontal chest.* "I'm sorry it has to be like this, you were out of control." *He then plunged, his blade straight into her chest attempting to pierce her heart to secure the kill.*
Stephanie
**Three small dragons trot out the cave and freeze in fear. One had fully grown wings the two wingless.**
Lynn
*Ran out to follow the baby dragon and grabbed it violently he had no choice, he held it tightly in his arms breathing heavy wheezing he clutched his sword tightly in his left arm the right arm picked up two of them*
Andrea
*Erdthand stares at Silas in disbelief and in silence underneath the helm.* "Lad, what are you doing with the young dragons?"
Stephanie
**The baby dragon twist and turned in his arms trying to get free. Then bit his hand in a moment of fear. The older, winged dragon let out a small roar, anger and confused.**
Lynn
*Pants as he held the dragons wincing as the tiny one bit his hand he raised his sword weakly to the man*

`"There only babies I cant let you.."`

*He was out of breath he begins walking backwards into the cave he knew he didn't stand a chance against him even if he saved one of these dragons it would be worth it. However he knew he was signing his death warrant if he saved even one of them, if he survived he would surely be put to death or brandished.*
Andrea
"Mate, if those turned out anything like their mother, they would too get out of control. Not to worry, it'll be quick and painless. I don't enjoy this job, but it needs to be done and the pay is nice. Now step away." *He yanks his sword out from the mother dragon and flicks his blade to get the blood off of it as he now slowly approached Silas and the dragons.*
Lynn
*Continues his steady pace backwards as the man approached him he was mere feet away he turned to run into the cave his limp slowing him down as he ran inside*
