It's five o'clock somewhere!

[governorkang]

It was easy to find the Drunken Dragon Tavern, due to the train, and the fact that a good portion of the crew was familiar with the establishment and could point the way. Kang knew that there were a few already planning on stopping by, and that Kaylee could use the help. He also wanted to get more information on the new people, see who was likely to cause problems (Farseer Ildraniath already had) and who wasn't. There were a few he hoped would show up, as well.

Feeling a little happier than usual, despite the Farseer, he took care of business as usual, being sociable and refilling drinks.

[Open post is very open. Feel free to talk to either Kang or Kaylee, or both, or to threadjack (with permission, of course)!]

Kang smiled wryly. "They'd found out about the females, and didn't like that they wouldn't be able to control us anymore. On the way back to the fort, my friend tried to help us, and ended up getting injured, so we took her with us. Within a few days, we were outnumbered eight to one, and knew our chances of survival were slim."

[dragonlordbight]

Bight nodded, that would certainly explain that then, "Trying to destroy what they cannot control, for the threat you may pose to them at a later date, how true that was," He commented, half to himself, indeed after all the arrival of Kang's forces at Sanction's from what he had heard had helped turn the tides against the Dark Knights. Though an event well after the time this Kang was taken. Eight to one, "Even goblins can be dangerous in such numbers," He noted, to ground forces at least.

[governorkang]

"Especially when they have hobs with them, too," Kang said dryly. "My regiment and I came up with a crazy plan to make a fake dragon, fill it with explosives, and send it flying over the main force. The dragon on the roof is close to what it really looked like, but one of the girls cast a spell on it to make it look like a gold."

[dragonlordbight]

Bight nodded at that, hobgoblins wouldn't have helped matters in the least. A fake dragon? That would explain the dragon on the roof then, and the mural, "Quite the ingenious plan, such a sight no doubt struck fear into goblins with an accurate enough illusion, before it detonated no doubt," He was curious though, how one of the girls, still rather young at that point no doubt had made an illusion of a gold dragon. If the mural was anything it had seemed the illusion had been rather accurate, barring artistic license that was. "I'm curious, had you and your girls come across such a gold dragon before?" He asked in an off hand and seemingly harmless manner as he nodded toward the mural in reference to the illusion.

[governorkang]

"I've seen golds before, during the war. So have the other males," Kang's wings rustled slightly. He was a little uncomfortable about telling the next part to Bight; it was something rather personal to all draconians. "They'd never seen a dragon in person, or in drawings or paintings, though. It's just something that we all know."

[dragonlordbight]

That much was understandable, after all a number of gold dragons had joined the Whitestone forces during the war of the Lance, far from as many as the other metallic dragons but enough. His eyebrows rose a bit in interest at that particular piece of information, his expression that little bit more somber, "Oh?" He replied with interest, but in such a way that Kang could drop that particular topic, "That would explain the accuracy of the illusion then," he went on to give a nod and a long sip of the ale.

[governorkang]

Kang was more than happy to drop the topic, not wanting to explain about the dreams. "It worked a hell of a lot better than we thought it would, in the end."

[dragonlordbight]

Even as he'd replied, Bight peered briefly upon Kang's thoughts in an attempt to discern just what he didn't want to explain, dreams? Dreams of what he wondered, of the dragon's they had come from or the dragon they could have been? Or something else entirely? Drawing his thoughts back he gave a nod to Kang's reply, "Indeed? Having what looks to be a gold dragon flying over then exploding within the ranks I would imagine would have quite the effect on Goblin morale.

[governorkang]

"Well, we won the battle, and the goblins, what was left of them, at least, left us alone after that. We were able to make it to Teyr without further hassle," Kang grinned. He hadn't even noticed the minor invasion of his thoughts.

[dragonlordbight]

Bight nodded at that, a grin given in return, "After that, I doubt the goblins stood a chance, indeed and Teyr yet stands in my day," He commented wryly. Though inwardly his thoughts were much more somber than any outward signs, drifting over that particular morsel of information he had gleaned from that minor invasion.

[governorkang]

"...you said it was 425 for you before. I forget, had the War of Souls ended yet?" Kang asked. "When Dalamar was awake, he told me a little bit about what happened."

[dragonlordbight]

"The final battle of the War of Souls took place in Sanction four years ago, in 421ac," He replied after a moment of thought, his expression a bit darker at the mention of the war, "What did he tell you of the war? Perhaps I could fill in what he missed," Bar the part about him being a bronze dragon that is.

[governorkang]

Kang shook his head, "Not much. Takhisis stole the world away, and the war was her last attempt at taking it for herself. The gods returned, and she was killed." He snorted. "Good riddance."

[dragonlordbight]

Bight nodded thoughtfully at what Kang had been told, a accurate if brief summary of what had happened, "Indeed, Takhisis stole Krynn away at the end of the Chaos War, hiding the world from the gods and in doing so allowing dragons from another world to find Krynn, no doubt you already know of the beginnings of the dragon purge in your time," His expression dark as he recounted the happenings between Kang's time and his own, those events that would have been relevant to Kang in any event. Up to and including the assistance Kang's forces had provided in that final battle, as well as how Takhisis had been able to be killed due to Paladine apparently giving up his godhood. His description of the events right to the point of things, Though he left out any mention of his absence during the battle itself.

[governorkang]

"Oh yes, I know about the Overlords," Kang nodded, frowning. He listened to Bight's recounting, asking a few questions for clarification every now and then, and at the end of it, he grinned, "So we do get another chance at the Dark Knights. The bastards had the nerve to ask that we ally with them in late 386, and when I told them no, they attacked Teyr. We won again."

Shrugging, he took a drink of his ale, "I didn't bother refuting their claims that we were their allies after because I had more than enough problems to deal with already."

[dragonlordbight]

Once Bight had finished the recounting he took another long drink of his own Ale, nodding thoughtfully at Kang's response, "Indeed, it would seem that the arrival of your forces in Sanction hastened the Knight's defeat," He commented, it would seem that survival of his city owed in some part to the arrival Kang's army, an army of Draconians no less.

"An error they would not soon repeat I would wager, though one that has no doubt cost them greatly,"

[governorkang]

"Good riddance to them, too. The only one of them I ever met with any honor died in that fort," Kang snorted. "The rest of them fell right back to their old habits from the War of the Lance.

[dragonlordbight]

"Indeed, such are their ways for the most part," Bight shook his head at that before the slightest tilt of his head at the mention of a dark knight with honor, "The knight that alerted you to the truth?"

[governorkang]

Kang smiled to himself, "Yes. She hated what the Knighthood had become, too."
