An abrupt end to the trip.

So we decided today was the day we needed to find the lizardmen and end this.  Harry and I got on Arion and took sky patrol while Tigre, Dom, and Tabitha took to the ground.  Meg, of course, decided to stay at camp and wait on Jack.  We got to the first camp which appeared to be picked clean and headed west.  I saw a large camp about a mile ahead so I landed Arion and told them what I saw.

That's when we started having issues.  Dom had a ridiculous idea of me scouting on Arion...hello..I'd be spotted since you can't hide anywhere in the sky.  Then came the argument of how to handle the camp when we reached a 30ft wide stream.  Tigre wanted to go off by himself and make a distraction so the rest of us could sneak in.  I worried what would happen if he bit off more than he could handle with no one to back him up and suggested we pick off the guards along the perimeter as a group...running in like a rampaging bull would do no good.  Suddenly we heard a patrol coming so I lept across the river...the others just sloshed through it so I quickly reached down and told the water to be still.

Tigre caught a scent and rushed forward in time for a lizard man to dive into a tree and come up at the top.  Chi lept up after it and while Tigre came back to use.  He wanted to try his original plan modified with someone going with him and this time I agreed.  But it seems we took to long because we were surrounded by lizardmen.  Harry and I took aim and then Dom did one of the stupidest things I've seen...he tried to chop a tree the lizardman was in down!  HELLO ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL THE REST OF THE CAMP WHERE WE ARE!?  If that tree had fallen it would have given us away for SURE!  But thank the gods it didn't and an arrow flew at him.

We decided on retreat with Tigre and I covering the group as Arion would fly him and I out if need be.  As the group retreated I summoned Arion and pulled Tigre up with me and took to the sky to continue covering the group.  For some reason as we neared camp Dom stopped and felt the need to try to ambush them....when up from the ground a lizard man came and bit into his crotch!  I called Jack immediately and Tigre lept off Arion to grab Dom.  I told him we we're coming in hot and to be ready.  When we got there he and Meg were with a mushroom woman and when the lizards arrived they stopped and did not enter our camp.

Suddenly there was a loud clap and spores rained down from no where covering the lizardmen and turning them to piles of ooze.  She told us she had killed everything in the area and suggested we leave before Gaea showed up as she would be angry so we gathered our things after Jack stitched up Dom and went home.
