Devaguea spent most of his time exploring the lands around the trading post with an eye to thoroughness only the truly insane or bored could manage, when he wasn't talking with the others, or climbing to the top of the tavern to watch the land around them. The latter usually ended with Oleg coming out and yelling for the young dragonling to stop damaging the building. While they waited, he flew plans to the others about what they wanted to do after he had claimed the lands, Torak was offered a spot as guard captain, Damien as an advisor to the spiritual needs of the lands and people, Talia as spymaster, and Erin was offered a spot as professional fire starter of criminals as a joke. Mostly because the fire bender wasn't really of either temperament or training for a more formal position, but she had served loyally so far, and deserved to be rewarded.<br/><br/>Once the armor arrived, Devaguea celebrated with barely disguised impatience, ready to be off to finish quest and get his territory. He was ready to get his lair going, and while it would be a while before he could get a proper mountain lair built where he wanted the city, he was ready to at least get started. Once they had the armor settled, they spent a day letting Torak break it in, before heading south, following the river until they found the bandit lair.
