"Jason, that is a great idea. Leave it to an engineer. There is something else to consider… magic. Not being from here, I think we overlook that possibility and will until we get used to the idea that magic is real. Is it possible they were transported here in some manner? At the least, we should start searching in concentric circles for a settlement of Halflings. That may be a place to look for clues too. What do ya'll think? Zigzag first and concentric circles next?"
"That pattern sounds good to me."
I think a bit before continuing "As to teleporting in, anything is possible, but I rather doubt it in this case, due to a lack of motive. Teleportation magic is high level, what reason would a mage with that kind of ability have to use it to let a band of goblins escape with their kill?"
" This sounds good to me. I don't understand one thing. Why were the goblins orange? I could have sworn they were green. Maybe I played WOW too much but I think of orcs and goblins as green. " I laugh. " We are doing this the slow way. We need to find a metallic dragon and do this inspection in style. I've dreamed of riding on a dragon. "
"Right, then let's hope this place is Pern or we run into Hiccup from How to train Your Dragon. I want to ride a Night Fury. The unholy offspring of lightning and death itself… sounds like… well, me!" I smile. "Okay, shall we get to it then?"
" This could be Krynn as well. Dragons everywhere. If we see a kender we are definitely on Krynn. " I grin. " Yes, let's begin day two of our exploration. Ghost is looking for a large animal to take down. He looks hungry. " Ghost looks at me and begins pacing around anxiously.
