	The Elder spreads the news to his people that you 
Š	have agreed to help them and they cheer you loudly. 
Š	The women of the village bring you food and wine 
Š	(restore 3 ENDURANCE points), and the children make 
Š	it their duty to see that your mule is watered and 
Š	fed.
	
	At sunset, you follow the elder and a dozen of the 
Š	village men to a rocky outcrop which overlooks the 
Š	settlement. They have prepared several hiding places 
Š	among the rocks where they can lie in wait for the 
Š	dragon. They are armed with spears and bows, and you 
Š	note that they have a plentiful supply of arrows. You 
Š	take cover with the elder and wait patiently for the 
Š	dragon to arrive. You do not have to wait very long. 
Š	In the fading light of dusk you see the creature come 
Š	gliding down from the mountains. The elder tells his 
Š	men to ready their bows, and as they carry out his 
Š	order, you see him smile. He seems to be relishing 
Š	the thought of avenging the damage this creature has 
Š	caused. The dragon circles above the village and then 
Š	comes swooping over the outcrop. It is now within 
Š	arrow range.
