In a swirl, the dragon grabbed their polymorph cloak, shrinking in size to an average humanoid. They did their best to avoid the glare of the wizard.
“That’s mine,” the wizard said.
“I don’t care,” the dragon, now more resembling a dragonborn, shot back.
They reached for a small table and took a satchel of gold pieces.
“Don’t expect me to be here when you get back,” the wizard said.
“I just need to clear my head. I’ll be back later today,” they said, completing their collection task by grabbing another bag full of traveling… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
“Not much of a talker. I wonder, is this what your parents wanted for you? Well, not the ‘dead on an ash covered floor’ part, but the life of a city guard. It probably paid well. I bet they would have been thrilled. I can imagine your father and mother, so proud on the day you… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

“It wasn’t supposed to be like this,” Glade said. He was looking down at the body of the boy he saved. The unconscious kid’s hands, face, and feet were burned. Glade had used his shield to try and protect them both from the dragon’s breath but it wasn’t quite enough. Glade… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The city was a bit of a maze, with toppled buildings and debris making it hard to get around. The sun was getting close to setting, covering every corner in long shadows. The deeper she went, the more people she saw. Dirty, scared faces looked at her as she passed. A few mothers… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
He broke into her thoughts. “What’s your name?” he asked. His voice was light, higher than she expected but full of stern determination. Something about it carried a power she couldn't quite understand.
She thought about lying, about any name she could muster. No names came to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Lyle awoke with a start, sitting up from a nightmare. Everyone was dead, dying, burned by fire, a mighty beast laughing at their torment. He checked his face and it felt rough, wrong. His hands felt wrong. They were burned, not as badly as he had expected but still wrinkly and… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Wizard: Oh, dear! What happened?!

Dragon: It was a trap. They attacked me. I’m hurt pretty badly.

W: What about all the gold?

D: I didn-I lost it.

W: Did you lose your temper again? You’re so unreliable.

D: I’m sorry…

W: It’s fine. *sigh* Let’s fix you.

D: Thanks...

Trigger Warning: Emotional Abuse

W: Wow, this is pretty deep. What did they hit you with?

D: Some crystal thing. It started covering my face.

W: I told you to watch out for that.

D: You did?

W: Yes, I did.

D: I don’t remember that.

W: I know you don’t.
W: But I wasn’t talking about that. I was talking about this bleeding gash.

D: Oh I uh… I don’t feel so good.

W: Don’t worry, you know I take care of you, in spite of everything.

D: What does that mean?

W: Nothing, just words.

Lyle sat with their hands together, fingers interlaced, their attention fixed heavily on the planks beneath them. Their mother and father sat a few feet away, two more faces among the dozens of others in the moving wooden crate.
They were all fleeing their home and the weight of it could be seen in every dull eye.

The attacks had been relentless, days and days of fire coming from the sky. At first, the city tried to strike back. Those that stood against the dragon wound up as piles of molten metal and… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Lyle looked into his mother’s eyes. There was fear, there was pain. She broke her gaze and looked down at her chest, touching the crystal briefly before collapsing to the cart. His father screamed, pulled against the rail, and tried, in vain, to reach out to his love with his one… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Fighter: Our trap will be here, right in the middle of the caravan.

Barbarian: Finally, we will cleave the head of the serpent!

Cleric: Are we sure this is a good idea?

F: With all those people and all the gold we planted, it’s dragon-nip.

C: That’s what worries me.
#DnD
F: What do you mean?

C: It just doesn’t feel right.

B: I disagree. This trap is nearly flawless.

C: No, not the idea. It works but… these people didn’t sign up for it.

F: Nobody signs up for a dragon attack.
F: The best keeps attacking, it keeps killing. It is a monster and needs to be put down by any means necessary.

C: Even if that means sacrificing those fleeing from it?

F: …

C: …

F: …yes.
