	The dragon lands at his lair in the mountains and 
Š	folds his wings to allow you to climb down easily 
Š	from his scaly back. Carefully you place the bronze 
Š	statuette into his clawed hand and witness a wondrous 
Š	transformation take place. Slowly the dragon shrinks 
Š	and its body changes into that of a tall man with a 
Š	proud and nobel countenance. He introduces himself to 
Š	you as Cresosa, the leader of the Rivorzha tribe who 
Š	dwell on the eastern slopes of the Hulhuk mountains. 
Š	Unlike the villagers, Cresosa's people have resisted 
Š	Ulonga's evil rule, even though their resistance has 
Š	forced them out of their coastal villages to seek
	refuge in the mountains. The statuette has broken a 
Š	curse placed upon Cresosa by Ulonga the Shaman, and 
Š	now he is able to return to his people and lead them 
Š	back to their abandoned homes.

	Before you say farewell, Cresosa offers you two 
Š	potions of Laumspur (each of these backpack items 
Š	will restore 4 ENDURANCE points when swallowed after 
Š	combat). He then gives you directions which take you 
	back to the trail, to a place where a bridge crosses 
Š	a steep-banked river. Your map tells you that this is 
Š	a tributary of the River Ito, and you decide to stop 
Š	here to rest until dawn before continuing your trek 
Š	to Caeno on foot.

	Unless you possess the discipline of Grand 
Š	Huntmastery, you must now eat a Meal or lose 3 
Š	ENDURANCE points.
