Devaguea was ... relieved that 'only' two zones of housing were damaged, which would be easy to repair, but honestly he was more concerned with the people. Sena quickly pointed out the devastation seemed to indicate a southward track, which was what Jubiliost had reported nearly a year prior; though no mention of there being a massive owlbear had been made. A quick look about the city near by showed that the fighting had been horribly intense about the monument and the nearest houses, but the guardsmen and women had held the foe back, but likely at a terrible cost.<br/><br/>The dragon snarled in fury, before nodding to Akiros and Torak. "Good job holding that monster back. I need to swap a couple people around, and then I am taking the group out to hunt it down. Talia, go find Serena and have her prepare for a monster hunt, I want to leave first thing in the morning. Everyone, go use your abilities to help, I want all of you but Talia ready at the gate tomorrow morning to go hunt this thing down. I want its head mounted and the hide as a rug in the meeting room. Sak'bas to hold its attention, Korima and Serena to kill it, Sena to track it, and Allison and I to provide magic support. I am bringing every potion we have and my wand of cure light wounds."<br/><br/>Devaguea spent the rest of the day raising and maintaining morale, thanking the guardsmen for doing the impossible, and promising to have a memorial, graveyard, and temple built as soon as possible. He also made a point of avoiding the gnome cartographer that had set up shop in his town, not wanting to deal with his acidic tongue just now. The next morning he led the assault party out into the wilds to clear the last threat in his lands that was NOT Candlemere island, though he knew soon he would have to head out to fix that problem area. His group consisted of himself, Sak'bas, Korima, Serena, Sena, and Allison, and they were heading straight to the lair that Jubiliost had found.
