Devaguea grabbed the man, not sure who he was talking about, but making sure he knew that Devaguea was just as incensed as he was. "We will get her back, but not by running around. He wants us pissed, and with Amvarean down, I will need you on the kill team. So help the wounded, get those suffering from spells together. We will go after them as soon as everything is in order here."<br/><br/>He then went straight to the fort, and found out that not only had several women been taken, poor Gegul had been cut down before he could flee and his head destroyed to keep him from being raised, so they would need to replace him. A greater dispel magic shattered the dominate on Sydon, and then he turned to bringing order to the lair. Once the wounded were seen to, he started procuring things he would need for the attack, and commandeered an item from one of the magic item shops in his city, and then went to the Poisoner's Guild, asking about specific poisons. After that, he returned to the swamp to collect Nyrissa and Sena.<br/><br/>Upon returning to the swamp fight, he learned that they had destroyed more of the army over the days of hit and run than he had thought, and Sean and Nyrissa had killed off the rest, looting a more than half dozen suits of large full plate off of the troll corpses they could find. A couple more teleports, and he determined that the monster armies were outright destroyed, shattered and scattered. But both the Pitax fighters and the bandit armies had fallen back, almost as soon as the third day had started, leaving the monsters to die. So he issued orders to both generals to finish treating their wounded, before linking up with the other army and moving to siege Pitax.<br/><br/>After two days of organizing things, he finally finished, and got together his team for the attack, Camilla, Sydon, Nordri, Maegar, and Sena. He gave Nordri Vesper's Rapier, and ordered them to join up with Akiros' Irregulars, before he teleported out with the troll armor to Absalom, where he trade all of them for three scrolls of Earthquake, before teleporting back to the southern fort. At this point he had been in his human form for three days, a very unusual occurrence as he tended to swap between human, kobold, and dragon forms frequently. Now he finally released the alter self, and revealed why he had been staying in one form, and possibly why he didn't have any paladins or others of similar mindsets.<br/><br/>His scales were blood red from his nose to his tail tip.
