Devaguea frowned as they listened to the story, having calmed him by telling him his wife was injured but stable, and his boys had no more injuries than if they had been having a particularly enjoyable time playing 'knights and goblins.' The game had used to be called 'adventurers and dragon,' but the parents hadn't want to offend him or something, so had forced the children to change the name. He had only been offended due to the fact the dragon routinely lost due to being alone.<br/><br/>Still, after questioning him further, they found out that the man was convinced that there the source of his woes was a massive black bird that had been in his dream, causing the silver to start. Devaguea, being one of the half that hadn't had a nightmare so was fumbling along behind everyone else, raised an eyebrow at her, and she slowly nodded, "So it wasn't just myself seeing and thinking that. I was wondering and going to ask, but did not want to force the issue here."<br/><br/>Devaguea thanked the man for his time, and moved on, gladly coming to grips with what he now knew was a direct attack, rather than an indirect one. However, he did ask several other nearby victims about their nightmares, and all of them reported the bird overhead, never involved, but very definitely present. So while he waited for his wizards to get back from city repair, he issued perhaps the strangest orders he ever had to the advisors and other notables in the city. "If you are having a nightmare tonight, and there is a big black bird overhead, attack the bird. It should disrupt the nightmare enough to let you escape."
