Devaguea had to break out the ultimate 'snap out of it man' measure on Maegar to get him to calm down. "And Sarianna wouldn't want to get rescued only to find out that you had died like Gegul and now has a millennia without you to look forward to. She wants at least half a century of good memories before that happens."<br/><br/>The dragon lord gave Amvarean an actually incredulous look, gold rippling down his body as his surprise overrode his rage for a few minutes. He had honestly given up on getting her over her fear of the black dragon that had killed her, and had been only going to put her on defensive assignments for the duration of her service to him.<br/><br/>After a few minutes of talking about the poisons the Guild did have, Devaguea thanked them for their time, and turned down the request to research a new poison. Even in his all consuming rage, he knew he didn't want that kind of legacy skipping about.<br/><br/>The dragon lord was rightfully enraged, but he had already banked his rage, storing it away until the time for revenge was nigh. Four days after getting all the equipment, both of Devaguea's armies had finally arrived at Pitax, and began camping just out of siege tower range. The arrived early in the day, and set up the main camp, clearly focusing on keeping their camp protected, while both dragons did fly overs of the city, staying high enough that bows and siege engines had no chance of hitting them, clearly mapping out the city as the army began working on heavy siege machines.<br/><br/>Later that day, however, Devaguea talked with Kesten about the layout of the city, and learned that the General had ideas on where to strike to shatter the wall. Knowing that Devaguea wanted a quick strike, he pointed out three areas that needed to be struck to allow both armies easy access to the city, as most of the defenders would be concentrating on the gates where walls were traditionally the weakest. So that night, Devaguea snuck out toward the walls under an invisibility spell, and hit the base of the tower, the wall to the east of the divider, and the wall where the north, west, and east walls met with disintegrate spells, removing specific portions of load bearing walls.<br/><br/>He then returned to the camp to have a nice long restful sleep, before waking to wait for dawn. At dawn, he turned to Sena and the nearby commander, and nodded, signalling the beginning of the attack. And then Sena pulled out the three scrolls from Absalom, and cast Earthquake from each scroll, targeting the three sections that had been weakened the night before with disintegrate spells. As the earthquake spells tore the three sections of wall apart, the army charged, covering the quarter mile of open ground as fast as they could, while Amvarean, clad in a greater invisibility spell and with Nyrissa on her back, landed on one of the nearby siege engines still capable of firing, and began savaging the wall troops.
