[HQ Ignorance] Re : Scene 80: The Battle for Iceland (Part Four): A Final Stand?

[Lev Lafayette]

"I have fought this monster before", Bryon responds grimly. "Myself, and
my best warriors, took the hand of Orlanth [OOC: Teleported] to the
monster's back, whereupon we slew the Priests that drove it, beat off
the giant fleas that are to be found there, and hammered it from the
mortal plane"

"It was not a battle I care to repeat, but it seems we have little
choice."

"How I am supposed to take wing without the breath of Orlanth I don't
know."
