Draiss snorts at the question of having any differences, and says, "No, nothing that exciting, just sharper than average senses. Take my sense of smell, for example, quite good, especially when compared to the human normal. I can smell a fire a good half mile away, if the wind is in my favor. My eye sight is equally to that of my mother's so I can see in the dark, just like a dragon, and hear nearly as well as one to."<br/><br/>He answers their other questions, and keeps the conversation light, until he senses the hobgoblins and hell hounds. He snaps his fingers twice, gestures for them to get closer, and then begins to carefully scan the road. He then casts Arcane Eye, moving it up the road, until it spots the hobgoblins. He explains it with, "I thought I heard a growl, and then smelt a whiff of brimstone. And that is not natural for this area. We have at least a dozen, but no more than 15 hobgoblins ahead, and a pair of hell hounds, which explains the soft growl and brimstone smell, set up in a ditch just ahead. I can dismiss the hell hounds, but they must have been summoned. I will try to find the mage that called them, if he or she is there, and deal with them."<br/><br/>He lets them sort out their tactics, trying to spot the mage through the Arcane Eye, without trying to twist fate any more. If he can not, then he does not 'cheat' to do so.<br/><br/>(set my initiative to be the third perrson to go. Surprise round for us, cast banishment on Hell Hounds.)
