Devaguea was horrified at the thought of a battalion of Pathfinders descending into his kingdom. After all, they had JUST finished cleaning up the last mess, and he STILL wasn't sure which of his advisors were or are pathfinders, he just suspected one was. So the first thing he did was ask Anke and Tina to head down to Absalom to talk with the main branch office there, as that was the headquarters for the whole society, and find out what they were looking for, and why they needed to send three hundred adventurers with a reputation of breaking things. And worse, Nordri STILL wasn't back from his trip home, so he was missing his best agent to find out what the hell the pathfinders were up to without relying on them telling him!<br/><br/>The dragon lord forced himself to calm down, having already seen Anke, Tina, and Allison off, while Akiros and Talia began making up plans to try and thin out the legion coming their way before they could wander into the wilds and die horribly releasing some terrible bottled threat. While Devaguea didn't want them dead, and certainly wouldn't mind their gold, he did NOT want them poking into every corner as he knew they would fuck off and leave him trying to pick up the pieces when they broke something AGAIN. The dragon did make sure the centaurs were warned about the cyclops that had likely moved into the area, and would also warn them about the incoming adventurers.<br/><br/>And at that thought, he remembered what the cyclops had said, that they were fleeing a fire, and quickly got his wand of divine sending, and did a little mental twist to activate it, before sending to Anke to let her know to ask about Iobaria and if that was in their area of search. Worst came to worst, he could take a month to head down there with his team and beat them to the supposed artifact.
