Devaguea was in his humanoid form, and gave the monsters a wave, before turning back to the party and started handing out buff spells. Resist fire, delay poison communal, fly, freedom of movement, water breathing, everyone except Hoots got fully buffed to deal with the monsters, and for the owlbear all he was lacking was the final enlargement buff to put him to full combat readiness. Amvarean was in her half orc form to hide her actual threat. And while Sena prepared to cast , Devaguea glanced at the heads sticking out of the water, before smirking at his silver. He then started speaking loudly in draconic. "So, where are the dragon kyn we are hunting?"<br/><br/>When Amvarean gestured to the heads sticking out of the water, he laughed long and loud, before shaking his head. "No, you said we were hunting dragon kyn. Not lizard cast offs. Seriously, where are the dragon kyn supposed to be?"<br/><br/>The group had been warned that he would try to antagonize the dragons into charging the group, thereby keeping them from using their greatest advantage, the water, against them. With all their other advantages, getting them into the shallow waters of the marsh was a better option than trying to fight them underwater. Once the dragon kyn charged, they could decimate the dragon kyn, and then deal with the survivors that fled back to the water.<br/><br/>(diplomacy to antagonize = 36 [+24])
