The Travellers found themselves summoned to a grand forum of ancient dragons, where they were to answer for their actions. Under the watchful gaze of these powerful beings, they faced scrutiny and accusations, their motives and allegiances questioned. Tensions ran high as the gathered dragons debated their fate, their voices echoing through the vast chamber.
Amid the proceedings, Kazmidrax arrived, taking the form of a regal yet imposing dragonborn. His presence only escalated the conflict, as he wasted no time in leveling accusations against the Travellers. He claimed they were allies of William Vicarin, the one who sought to steal his dragon heart, and that their interference had been part of a greater scheme. Furthermore, he defended his killing of Aislinne, declaring it an act of self-defense—justified in his eyes.
In an attempt to resolve the feud, a trial by combat was proposed, a sacred means of settling disputes among dragons and their kin. But Kazmidrax rejected the offer, refusing to engage in such a challenge. Instead, he issued a chilling vow—he would find the Travellers again, and when he did, there would be no place where they could hide from his wrath. With that, he departed, leaving the tension unresolved and the threat of his return looming over them.
