After moving down the hill, they noticed a strange white rock formation below. Reached only by climbing to it, they set out. Khal slipped and fell, causing more than a minor injury. Mouse lowered a rope to him and helped him up into the mouth of Dragon's Cave. Gingerly stepping over the sharp teeth-like rocks in the entrance the two lit a torch and found themselves in a low, small passage -- crawling room only. Better judgement overcoming his curiousity, Khal decided that he ought to rest before forging on. The two climbed up to the path and made their way towards the village to rest.
Shortly after they began their journey, a strange woman appeared from nowhere announcing that Khal was the man of her dreams! Laroen, shaman of the badlands, explained to him that she has seen him in some strange dreams that she's had lately. In return for healing him, she asked that he help her discover their meaning. They are as follows:
"An image of a man with three arms fighting a huge red dragon sitting on a huge pile of treasure"
"Dreams of people in a city celebrating"
"An image of people on a beach dressed in rags, trying to wave down a ship. The ship is in plain sight, but sails right by them"
Khal explained to her that he didn't understand any of the meanings as yet, but that they were on their way to Dragon's Cave. She confirmed that they had, in fact, found the entrance that leads through the long dead skeleton of the ancient red Dragon Celobae. It was encased in the mountain a century before and leads to a cave complex. Before leaving, Laroen healed Khal using the powers of the earth. He somehow knew that their paths were inexoriably linked and that they would meet again soon..................
