"Wha..wha...wha..." Scott sputters. "Oh, boy." Scott prepares to meet
his Maker. He is amazed to see the....dragoness is looking at him with
a look of concern and....kindness.
"Settle down, sir." Selania says, looking down at Scott. "You're safe."
"Yes, we don't eat humans, usually." Dreven says, with a trace of a
chuckle in his voice.

asks, feeling sorry for her analog. Scott looks hopeful, almost like a
puppydog. Selania mentally shakes her head, wondering if she had actually
looked so....pathetic!
"Yes, ma'am!" Scott says, shaking his head violently.
"Dreven, would you be so kind....." Lady Selania orders with a reptilian
smile.
"What?" Dreven says brightly. "Oh, right away, my Lady."
Dreven runs through a complicated ritual of shouted arcane chants, waved
arms, and undulating body gestures and........

 ....before
the spell is completed.....somebody steps in by the name of Randal Flagg.....
and knocks the dragons out cold with a gesture!!
