Promises, promises

random event Deepfrost was a hard time for all, but harder for those who were not clever with their resources. A hoarding species by nature, white dragons were not scavengers perse, but were more than happy to have others do the killing for them when it suited their needs. So, with hungry eyes and a patient mind, the dragon had watched the pair kill the luxere. Had watched them opt out of field dressing it in lieu of taking it home. That suited the creature just fine; perhaps in lugging it across the snow they would attract and ursur and it would find itself with even more of a bounty with which to take home. Alas, as it waited and watched, circling high and soundlessly in the clouds, it seemed the pair was destined to remain just as they were. Descending with unfathomable speed, the dragon is on Aino before its form can properly be distinguished from the rest of the snowfall. Its claws slice neatly into her torso, curling around her body and snapping her ribs with such force that it sounds like a tree being felled. Blood pours in rushing streams that steam in the cold air. Ignored because it was Aino who had been carrying the luxere, Sah is left to watch as Aino's body goes from vivacious to empty in a single instant. The dragon lingers only long enough to pile the luxere on top of Aino's body with a wet thwwamp, so that it could more easily carry the pair away before it is up and airborne. The air is so cold that the woman's wounds are frozen almost instantly such that there isn't even a trail of blood to follow before the dragon disappears entirely into the white. Aino has been killed and carried off by a white dragon! Sah can count this as a rare creature encounter for levelling. White Dragons (Rare/mythical): Living in underground tunnels that are warded with ice and snow, white dragons hoard treasure and anything they deem beautiful. Often this means that one might find gold, gems, and frozen humans stored in their caves. They can speak the basic common tongue and can communicate telepathically with the attuned, though they are secretive, vain, and usually aloof and unhelpful.
