"Wait," Frederigo D'Honaire says before the were-bear does anything more. "Before we chase this other mage from this town, I don't want to have to go into a situation like I and Astra faced last time. I admit that when I went out to slay the Dragon of the Southern Cavern.....the Northern Cavern for Astra.....I admit I NEVER bargained for this turn of events.....
