(...That would be long enough to run outside and attract the lizardfolk's attention, wouldn't it?)<br/><br/>Draiss saw what the dragon was trying to do, and threw himself into the way of the breath, flaring his wings out and widening his stance to take as much of the blast as he could. While he was mostly successful, he figured that the women would, at absolute worst, get maybe a quarter of what they would have if they had taken it full on, and figured that his protection from acid spell had 'expired'. He would have sighed in vexation, but he would deal with the wounds that would cause later. While he could have done something else before the dragon could react, he was still having to play by mortal rules, and would wait another 'turn' before he was able to move again.
