Scene:  South Gate

     D'Ren was proud of the turnout at the gate even though he had to 
*forcibly* conscript some of the younger warren members to take their turn 
standing watch.  It was getting late when another flight of dragons took to 
the dark sky.

	"They must have need of re-enforcement.  This could be bad," he 
thought and stirred the watch fires brighter.  A few more moments 
passed, and the first group of dragons returned.  They called for 
assistance and began lowering injured people to the ground.

	"Oh by the Gods, this is war!", the stonecutter cursed as he ran 
over to help and was he shocked by what he found.  Instead of noble dragon 
riders wounded by the savages, he found his masters lowering injured nomads. 
They were helping those cursed-no-good-raiding-barbaric-nomads!  D'Ren 
couldn't believe it.  He looked around and found Dan'yar, who was storming 
towards the gathering cave to report in.  D'Ren ran up to him to protest 
this latest turn of events.

	He was about to speak, but Dan'yar spoke first, "Ah, D'Ren, good.  I 
want you get together supplies and provisions, and possibly a watch for the 
nomad camp.  We'll get those damned rogue riders for what they have done."  
And before the stunned young man could respond, the dragon rider stormed off 
on his original course.

	D'Ren just stood there stunned as if by some heavy blow to the head. 
He just couldn't believe what was going on...

NRP:

Just wanted to post really quick to bring my character up to date.  He'll 
want to talk to the Queen Rider in the morning about this situation.  I'm 
sorry that I don't have time to post more right now...
