Mendo the dwarf was at the head of the long progression of camels and
mumpa beasts that drove against the relentless desert wind. Sand whirled
at them from every direction at ungodly speeds. There were twenty other
larger figures riding or walking behind him, all of them garbed in white
cloth that covered their entire bodies. Their destination was the distant country of Stormgarde to the south. The caravan was full of the exploits and resources of the Calamari, and anything from the barren wilderness was a rare comodity. The wind began to die down some and the sky became visable once again. The sun stood high in the sky, scorching the dunes that seemed to stretch on forever.Mendo breathed deeply, the change in air quality lifted his spirits considerably. And besides, they would be reaching an oasis he knew of within a day! A shadow suddenly blocked out the sun. Then the stench of death filled the air and caused him to gasp and heave. He looked up."Hammer and tongs!" He exclaimed. The huge headless beast had come out of nowhere. It was flying at an extremely low elevation and was descending rapidly. The entire caravan was taken back.It flew past them, continuing northwards towards the Chul Suz. Then, as if some unseen force pushed it down, the dragon just fell to the desert floor. The earth shook.
