Prologue[edit | edit source]

H3ABds2 DraconDracon Dracon: Rust dragons have taken to feeding from the mines near the town of Ochre. These uncommon beasts have chased off the peasantry and now their livelihoods are in jeopardy. As a hero, I should do this for the town's people. Yet, I do this to hone my skills. Where rust dragons abound, the Azure may be nearby.

Location Type Message
2, 74, 0 Rust Dragon Rust Dragon As you enter the crystal mine you hear death filled screams that would make any other man go mad. You head towards a faint light that looks to be deep within the cave. As you approach the light you see a dragons holding a man, who turns his head toward you and in a faint whisper says "Help us".
2, 104, 0 Rust Dragon Rust Dragon It has been a long trek through the mountains and trees. Up ahead of you is the gem pond that the dragons are said to have taken control of. Just as you are about to break through the trees you feel the sting of acid on your shoulder. You look up just in time to see that the dragons are attacking you.
23, 57, 0 Rust Dragon Rust Dragon While you are hiking through the mountains you see a glint of reddish orange in the not too distant sky. As you walk up to the gold mine you feel a slight breeze. Seeing the dragons land you smile at your precise timing. " Nobody but the dragons will get hurt this time, you tell yourself."
32, 53, 0 Rust Dragon Rust Dragon On your travels you come across a very old man lying on the ground. With a bandage over his head and a sling around his neck, he looks to be unconscious if not dead. Closing your eyes and shaking your head you decide to rid the land of the dragons that did this.
64, 53, 0 Rust Dragon Rust Dragon It took you all day to get to the sawmill. Then again, the people in the nearby village said it would. The sun was just setting below the horizon when you spotted the dragons that put all the people in the nearby village out of work. After taking a hefty breath you set out to kill the dragons.
82, 34, 0 Rust Dragon Rust Dragon The smell is excruciatingly bad. The sun is beating down on the blood covering the sulfur. The dragons have done a number here. It was time to find the dragons and rectify the situation.
100, 106, 0 Rust Dragon Rust Dragon As you approach the pond you are almost run down by an avalanche of prospectors. At a quick glance you take notice of how battered and broken the people are. Not wanting the people to suffer any longer you quickly run in to slay the dragons who are tormenting them.
