I think they like their weapons, Commander!

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 16206

The firefight between the grells and the draconians is short and one sided. Scott and the Draconians return to the cave where they left one Sivak to watch over the draconian hatchlings during the fight. Some of the returning draconians look at there guns, back at the area of the fight, at Scott, then back at there guns. Some cradle their guns, like they can't bear to part with them.

"By the Dark Queen!" Kang swears as he returns with Scott. "I've never SEEN anything quiet like those assault rifles in action!"

"I think I'm in love!" the slow Bozak, Gloth, keeps saying over and over. He is one of the draconians who seems to be unable to part with his rifle.

"I thought they'd grow on you, Kang." Scott says with a smile. "These suckers work at a range much further than what you normally work with....except maybe seige equipment! Still don't think this Science stuff is for you!"

"You kidding me?!" Kang nearly shouts, looking down at Scott. "With these little things, we'd have stomped the army of the Golden General near the begining of the First Dragonlance War! Why were these things never brought out until now?!"

"Probably because the other Gods and Goddess would object." Scott reasons aloud. "Conservative bunchs who hate to let such a dangerous, unpredictable element loose. Maybe, your Queen did this as a last slap in everyone's face for Her not being able to enjoy the land that She had finally conqueared! Lord knows that she can't stick around with Choas looking to stomp Her into the ground!"

"Kang!" Slith shouts, rifle shaking in his eager hands. "With these weapons, why we could do almost anything!"

"Sorry to rain on your parade, folks, but there a few limits to what can be done with the equipment at hand." Scott butts in. All draconian eyes turn to Scott.

"While this stuff is wonderful. It isn't magical." Scott continues. "Therefore, monsters that redquire magical weapons to hit them.....aren't going to be phased by this stuff. Also, since this stuff isn't magical.....and unfortunately has some relatively complex parts inside them, they need to be cleaned and maintained. Furthermore, these guns have only a limited supply of ammunition....large piles of it....but not infinate! You need to learn how to make thes sucker...the guns, the bullets....and a few other toys that you'll just go 'gaga' over! This'll take TIME!"

"Hmm." says Kang and Slith thoughtfully.

"And you know how to make these....toys and such?" Slith almost whispers, hoping against hope.

What does Scott do now?

  1. Give the draconians a detailed answer as what's really needed.
