Soren hated dragons, though admittedly he was used to them being much, much smaller. He didn't know how much it would help, but he lifted a stave high above his head. White light suffused the area as he cast his barrier spell; hopefully it would give the others some protection so they wouldn't. You know. Die instantly.

"Beast!" he shouted, though he wasn't even certain the dragon could hear him. "If you think to stop us, you are mistaken!"
