I imagine if I was a dragon, they would be considered a delicacy.
All right, so will having my shield iced, will that help protect me from the fire?

I would think so! Or there are potions to resist fire, that sort of thing.
I see ... well that might be something good to use. What will we need to make them?
Spindleweed, mostly. There are other plants that will make the tonic more effective, of course, but- well, there's not actually any Spindleweed in the desert, is there?
There is some by the water sources - not a lot, but enough to make a potion or two.
The water sources that the dragon might be drinking from?
[He snorted softly.] All right, that is an excellent point.
The good news is that dragons are very big, so you might see her coming!
The bad news is that she's also very likely to see you.

Well ... I seem to recall the gorge narrowing quite a bit, so she might not be able to fit. Anything that would give us an advantage would be useful - I would hate to waste it.
The flames will be able to fit, though.
Just- be careful?
Just- be careful?
I promise to take care of myself ... if you promise to do the same.
Good... then I shall see you when I return from the Western Approach, and you return from the North.
Dareth shiral, James. Feel free to get in touch with me at any time, okay?
All right. I shall send you a message once we are finished with the dragon.
See a healer first if you need to! But I would like to hear about it.
Full report, after I see all of my burns seen to.
Let's saaaay... an hour? Does that work for you?
( I AM GOING TO RUDELY ASSUME THE ANSWER IS YES because boom, ACTION.
Ruby has managed to carry (not drag) a Very Very Large item over, although just what it is is obscured from view. It's draped in some draft paper she borrowed from the undercroft and probably has to return, just enough to hide it away, although an ornate wooden frame still peeks through.
Instead of knocking, given that her hands her full, she calls out: ) Delivery for Merrill?
( Those jokes probably don't translate when you don't have UPS or whatever. Huh. )

[ but of course the answer is yes
They may not have UPS, but they do have letters. Not that Merrill has ever gotten much mail in her life, but there's still a delighted gasp as she scrambles up to meet Ruby. ]
Oh! It's- an object!
[ yes thank you merrill ]

( And she laughs, startled and kind of delighted. Merrill. )
It sure is. Here, it's all yours.
( Holding it out carefully, and maybe just... setting it on the ground, actually, because Merrill is tiny and looks like she might topple over if she tried to pick this thing up. )

[ Well, it's entirely possible. With it set down, Merrill goes to pull the paper up and off, being careful.
So careful that she's trying not to rip the paper, which is- taking a bit. ]

The paper's not the good part, you know.
( Quiet; conspiratorial. ) You can just rip it.
( Ruby is not impatient but oh my god she is sort of a little bit )

Merrill, I have had the most kickass idea and I need your help.
