The e, and the dwarf sidestepped down the side of the dining hall, keeping stone to back and pointed shield to dragon

"Perhaps if you told me what you seek?" AuRon asked

AuRon dashed across the back of the dining hall, spreading a curtain of fire It pooled and burned, even on the floor slippery with muck

"The wyrot it!"

"Noe’ve the advantage," thebetween two puddles of flaantly

"Would somebody restrain hi toward the entrance arch

"Ghaston out"

Ghastnored her, but the dwarf hadFangbreaker listened to Wistala the Oracle--"

AuRon froze in shock

"She mazed him into folly," the dwarf continued "Don’t listen!"

"Repeat what you said, dwarf," AuRon said, rounding on the little carbuncle of shield and hel on his blade and cutting red shadows into his face, lunged forith a cry The point of his blade pierced AuRon’s breast--

AuRon whipped his head down in riposte, hooking the human under his shoulder plate with the tiny spur on his nose--an egg-breaker thathi of dragonblood

Kung!

A projectile like a s a line AuRon hugged the floor

"Beast moves like old Gan himself" The dwarf added a few curses that AuRon re towers

The line fell across his back He reached up with a saa and grabbed it The dwarf fuear behind his shield

AuRon yanked the line hard and the dwarf flew across the dining hall and landed at his feet AuRon had not yet grown to a size where he could easily carry a le sii, especially if the dwarf decided to struggle, so he settled for perching both sii on his back

AuRon heard joints popping

The dwarf grunted and alest of the hominids, but this one must have the thews of an ox

"Can we stop this nonsense?" AuRon asked, ducking under another arrow co for his eye

"Ssssst!" the elf-archer cursed

Theyou back?" Whether he spoke to AuRon or to his warybehind pillars, AuRon couldn’t decide

The dwarf produced a short blade AuRon bore down until he dropped it with a gasp

" ’Tis AuRon the Gray at that, he that killed the Wyrmmaster, the Wizard of the Isle of Ice," the raven chattered in the elf’s ear "He’ll keep a bargain The Iwensi Gap dwarves once trusted hion, let’s talk," the elf with the raven said "Sheathe weapons! Put down that bow, Cattail"

"And get Fyerbin out of this reeking hole!" called the voice from the shaft

The elf stepped forward, and her raven fluttered warily to the ceiling "My na to share anything we find with you"

"Uninvited guests to our island could set things right with an apology"

The elf went down on one knee and spread her arons inhabited these caves," she said, as the others helped Ghastmath to his feet "We hoped our presence on the island would pass unnoticed"
