As Russ peered over his hiding spot, preparing to fire once more, he saw that the dragon had decided to settle down, lie on its belly and inhale very, very deeply. He had no idea what may or may not come, but he did not like the very deliberate nature it went about it, no sir. So while the others scrambled to do whatever it was they were doing, Russ decided to follow his soldier's instincts and seek cover. Rather than try to go down the stairs and exit from one of the many doors beneath, he made sure all his gear was secure and went over to peer down the wall farthest from where whatever the dragon was planning would hit. Thankfully, the beastman was right. There were plenty of places he could use for grips and footholds. Russ hurriedly scaled down, with no idea what was happening over in front of the inn and only a myriad of strange and disgusting noises to further whip him into seeking shelter. He jumped down when he was a safe distance from the ground and dashed away from the clearly doomed building as an explosion louder than any he had ever heard rocked the forest. His instinct once again taking hold, he yelled a curse out loud as he hit the floor and covered his ears to diminish the damage. It was all for naught. Not because he was hurt in any way but because, in the end, it wasn't as bad as he thought it might be. The same could be said for the entirety of the battle, really. He looked around to see things were...mostly okay. The forest wasn't ablaze, not yet at least. The inn was completely and utterly destroyed, however. He had seen buildings take cannon fire and come out in a better state. With a grunt, he jumped back on his feet, dusted himself off and adjusted his hat before circling the demolished building to come upon the beast's remains and the aftermath of the battle. "Good work", he said nodding to no one in particular before stopping to stare at the metallic boulders amongst the dragon's remains. He pointed to them, then to himself, then back to the rocks. "One, mine" he said, gun in hand. He paused, looked around at the survivors, then shrugged. "Half, good too". Russ was many things, but exceedingly greedy was not one of them.
