The dragon duke gave the half fae an understanding look, before nodding to the door. He figured that she was used to being outdoors, and being 'trapped' indoors in an entirely created environment was giving her a minor panic attack. "I doubt we need your input for the rest of this, Eranex, so if you want to head outside, you can."<br/><br/>Devaguea laughed at Cynthia's tone, before moving across to rub against her affectionately. "At most a year of waiting. Then you will have as many foals as you want. Though I do hope you can fight, as no one else has killed a bandersnatch in a single strike."<br/><br/>The gold dragon nodded to her question, ignoring her embarrassment. "I am going to have Tina come home, and then her and Allison will begin researching how to destroy the thing. Then, we are going to destroy it. It is too easily misused to allow it to wander around, and the ease with which it controlled that barbarian warlord concerns me. Better to destroy it, and be done with it, than risk it getting loose."<br/><br/>After a couple days of deliberation, and once everyone was back from their week long vacation, he presented the Vesper sword to Akiros, since he was out and about the most, though he did mention that the sword would likely change hands often. He also mentioned that he was sending out groups to clear out and map the swamp, since they were now the ruling group. While he could just send the normal mappers on their own, their experience in Varnhold showed that they needed more powerful forces to assist them, as well as ensure that they didn't get attacked by something they couldn't deal with. They would only be out for three to four weeks at a time, and would rotate who went out.<br/><br/>The first group heading out would be Akiros, Nyrissa, Maegar, Sena, Amvarean, and Sarianna. They would be starting at the closest edge of the swamp, and sweeping toward the former Fort Drellin, so they could claim it and the lands around it before someone else pushed in.
