While knee-deep in dragon-kin warriors, Rohm squares off against their general, Barothean.

"That is the last time we trust Tal's information, Zanne! A very important piece of that was the general being Dragon-kin! Jenny, stop those assassins! Tal, get your carousing butt over here and start fighting!"

...Killing this scale-faced worm will halt their progress for a short time, and if they're attacking tonight, we'll need every spare moment...Wait? Did Lady Exeter just claim to be a warlock?

Landing blow after blow upon the general, Rohm released years of anger unto his foe, "This is for everyone you took from me, murderer!" It was only when Rohm saw the silver dragon's head pendant fall from Barothean's tabard that he hesitated. That damn mark again! Who are these dragon-kin? They do not act in concert with their bretheren. I have seen them show compassion...

Barothean is falling. I have fought enough in my day to know when the fight is out of my opponent. This was easier than I thought!

"You have won this day... Human. Show me mercy and we will aid you against these demonic abominations... I give you my word that my warriors will not turn against you..."

"...Very well. You will not die here; but cross me and I will kill every last one of you scale-faced lizards!" Strange that I find myself fighting side-by-side with an enemy I have seen in my dreams. Yet, if I kill him, I undo everything I believe in. Failure here could lead to the destruction of my world, and I cannot have that...again.

With the combined might of the dragon-kin and the heroes, Lady exeter and her demonic thralls were put down. Swords then turned to each other...
