An-Hasst's annoyance level was on the move again. Upwards was dead ahead and as long as it was fueled by massive input of... ideas... it probably would keep going. Really: First they wanted to deviate from the original plan in order to slay a dragon. Now they wanted to deviate from the deviation in order to make friends with a dragon. The Skayleigh had reached the point where he couldn't hold back anymore.

[color=yellow]"This is a great idea, Ursaren. A dragon to our assistance would certainly massively bolster our chances of success. The problem is: How great are the chances that it will actually work ?"[/color] he addressed everyone by making lavish use of his giant lungs, then started keeping track of the count of arguments with his fingers as he pointed them out sequentially. [color=yellow]"First we have to find that druid you're talking about. Then we have to convince him to perform a possibly very costly and dangerous ritual of some sort for us. Then this magic has to actually work - don't get me wrong, but I think if it would be [i]that[/i] easy there would be more friendly dragons and less fear of them in existence. And all we have left to do [i]then[/i] is to hope that all of those additional efforts still have left enough time for us to deal with the original threat."[/color] He sighed, taking in another urgently needed breath. [color=yellow]"I'm sorry, but couldn't that be a bit [b]too[/b] ambitious ? According to this philosophy, if we had an undepleteable amount of time, we could make friends with everyone and march towards the center of this continent with hundreds of thousands. Did we do this ? No!"[/color]

Speaking of numbers... An-Hasst secretly started a little mathematical game of his own. Those strange berries still had their effect on him and he couldn't see any reason for not using this to his advantage. The number of people convinced of this dragon idea had increased. Alice seemed to be infected as well. If things continued to progress this way they would win - he wasn't sure if it would be valid to count the wood elves' votes as well or not. They were not a real part of the group yet.
