Another six months pass, relatively peacefully, though tensions have begun rising, against his constructs. Ama informs him that the trouble is being stirred up by allies of Verdelet, but it's difficult to trace or prove. She's only working off logical inferences and a good hunch, nothing substantial enough to make a move, especially since their moves aren't openly aggressive, either.<br/><br/>All of this is interrupted, one day, when an emergency call comes in, informing him that a small group of his dragon children, led by Aviendha's daughter, had been attacked, while out adventuring. A large squad of devils were portaled in by an unknown force, capturing all but one, who was left for dead, before retreating through their portal to the depths of Hell, all before the construct assigned to watch over them could do almost anything.
