The dragon grows slowly larger, now just the size of a tiny bird from your viewpoint and another flash appears from the desert. The Dragon roars mightily as it closes on Gahlen, fire shooting from its maw, over a hundred feet as the flames burn hot and the dragon screeches a warcry!

A team of adventurers led by the Miaowara of the Fighters Guild and City Garrison go south into the Jempek desert to find the magicians sent by the Southern Warlord. At the same time two teams of defenders rally in key locations to defend the city should the mighty black dragon reach the Gahlen. NOTE: This is where combat starts, during this portion I will put the color of the line on the line itself.

Jempek Desert Oasis

This wonderful Oasis is a haven for those seeking shelter in the desert. Numerous palm trees offer shade and the sand on the ground is cool. An underground stream provides cool water to a small pond located in the center of the oasis. Drinking from the pond will most likely refresh you. Very hot with scattered puffy clouds.
