   Great, just perfect. They had been seen. The dragon-rider was heading right for him. One of the souls outside the city was also returning. This could definately turn into a problem very soon.
   
   Asheel stood up and now he was dressed for battle. Not that anybody would notice underneath the cloak. Hopefully Asheel would simply be able to send the dragon-rider on his way without conflict. Neither him nor his men looked anything other than human. But if it came to combat, Asheel would be ready.
   
   He stood there watching the dragon-rider approach. First he would try with diploacy, then with trickery, and if all else failed, with force as well.

   Daru and his dragon stopped right next to the gathering of people. "What are you doing here?" he asked reaching for one of his axes. The dragon's eyes locked on the group too. Both of them studied the group very carefully.

   As Ravin approached the city, he spotted the Human as well as a new band of men. Something was off however. They were normal enough to the eye, but Ravin's thermal-vision was unable to pick up a difference in temperature from the men, and the air around them. All except for three of them. the rest were only about forty-degrees in temperature. That either meant that they had some way to cloak themselves from Ravin's Amulet, or that they were not actually alive. Either of the two meant trouble. Still, they were still outside of the city, and Ravin needed to get back his weapons. He flew off in a different direction, and with the Human occupied, he flew down to the city, only a few feet off the ground the whole time.

   A very tall man of about 6"3 stepped foreward. He had broad shoulders and wore a Blues cape. His head was shaved and his deep tan stood out. "We come from Westenvale, a small town about twenty miles from here. Every year at about this time we come in for supplies." He said as Asheel turned his thoughts into words through the man. "If there is any problem about the legitamacy of our motive, we have many people in the town who would be glad to testify to the accuracy of our statement. If tere is anything else you need to know, I would be more than happy to answer your questions, we don't want any trouble." the man finished...

   Daru listened closley but just as he was about to reply the dragon sniffed the air filled with their scent. Then the dragon bared his fangs and growled."It appears my dragon doesn't like your scent."

   As the dragon-rider spoke his words, the large man broke a bottle of very un-attractive perfume in his cloak. Every other party member followed in suit at the exact moment, but in such a way that would not be visible. "the perfume we wear is specifically that of a large Wyvern. It keeps wolves away from our sheep. Dragons however, taking it as competition, increase the hostility towards the wearer. I assure you that we will take a bath and wash it off the second that we reach the city. We don't want any trouble"
   
   This was getting annoying. That perfume was expensive. There was not much more of it left. Fortunately, there was no need for large doses, only enough to be smellt when or if the dragon-rider got near.
   
   (P.S. Asheel and his two gaurdians are not undead, but simply posessed. Everything on them including smell and temperature appear normal.His gaurdians wear a blue cape and a black cape while Asheel wears the same thing as the rest of the party, which is a black cape.)

   Ravin reached the tunnel where they had fought only minutes before. His Shurikens were still there, imbedded in stone. He went over and pulled each of them out. At least this battle had taken place under ground. No witnesses, and very little damage. He would have to thank the demon for that later, maybe.
