Draiss stopped and then sent a quick thought, requesting to open negotiations to avoid a state of open warfare, now that both of them have reasonable excuses to do so, him for the 'desecration' of his temple, and Draiss for the lies the gnoll's priesthood had told the Archdragon's paragon. Having provided the reasons to open negotiations rather than warfare, he sat down on a nearby stone, still dress in his jet black with silver trim robes, and waited for a reply. He figured the current location would make a good spot for the meeting, close enough to the town to make it 'home turf' but not close enough to provide an actual advantage.
