Face-to-face with Mythranthraxus, the team began to negotiate. The dragon listened and then calmly made the statement it could have all their valuables and dinner. So, what could they offer that the dragon couldn’t simply take?
After some discussion, they realized the dragon could truly take any physical possession they had. In fact, it already considered all of it its own anyway. Also, they didn’t possess information of value to the dragon. However, perhaps they could provide some kind of service? The dragon very much liked this idea. It agreed to take them across the valley and give the information it knew about the Hutaakans in exchange for 1 year of service from each of them.
The dragon told them about Hutaakan culture and that it had actually seen one within the last century! It then flew off for a few minutes and returned with two wagons it carried by ropes. The party climbed into the wagons, and the great wyrm flew them across the valley to the base of the waterfall and the ruins of the old road. The group ascended to the bridge over the waterfall and found a trio of gnoll skeletons. They examined the bodies and their weapons and found that the axe heads and spear tips were missing. Koehan then examined the door leading into the guard tower. The door had a pattern of needles and thread. He opened the door and revealed a somewhat ruined interior occupied by two metallic statues.
