Late one eve, an uncommonly well-armed party of adventurers was seen setting out from the cities eastern gate. To those with first hand knowledge, or whom could discern identity based upon appearance, the common adventuring trio of Khannon, Khuna and Maximus would be apparent, along with the additions of the aspiring Templar Grayson, and soon to be sorore Elissa. The moon hung high in the sky, slowly setting as it's pallid light shone down upon the expedition, the swirling fog of the swamps engulfing them as if a hungry maw set to devour it's waiting pray.
Hours passed before they returned to the eastern gate, covered from head to toe in the muck of the swamp and the blood, gore and gastric acids of their foes. It is said that the carried in the Templar's arms was the head of a massive beast, reptilian in nature and fearsome in size, tongue lolling limply from a maw of razor sharp teeth and a crown of the devils horns. It is said that this massive trophy served as a centerpiece to several rounds of grand revelry in the sinkhole, with the Templar providing Errol a sufficiently large tip to account for the mess and carting the head off else where afterwards, the words "Taxidermy" and "Mounting" clearly having been heard at several points.
"A dragon's head.", some might whisper. "No, the black blur!", others might respond in kind. "Bah, an overgrown lizard, or cow's head in costume! Damn Templar Tricksters!", might even be tossed out.
Though reactions may vary, one thing would be certain. Yet again the adventurers of the city, as well as the military arm of the Cathedral, have ventured out against terrifying odds to ward off a threat to the inhabitants of Calidor. Though some may grumble and others disbelieve, a few may yet sleep more safely in their beds at the thought. |

Not to be out done within a few days Aspirant Kitara Lovich is seen disembarking an airship with her companions Carter Crenshaw of the Chesters and Adrian the Sailor. They load a similar head sporting different horns and blue scales onto a wheel barrow and make their way to the free market with it. Once there the head is set up atop the HITS/FDA stall and they spend the afternoon having the occasional celebratory toast, while advertising that such a beast was only brought down through devout faith in God and the Saints and the finest quality of weapons made by Carter and Kitara's own hands.
At the close of the market day, Aspirant Lovich and her fellows would be seen to wheel the head up to the Cathedral, the east entrance to show it off to the Templars.

A small ruckus rose up from the Docks as a recent ship arrived from Newport. A large wrapped bundle unslung and placed into a hand-cart for transport. Kitara and the dwarf Scarne taking up the task of moving the large load up from the Dock's into the trade district.
Once safely into the trade quarter, the coverings on the object were removed to reveal a red dragon head, its horns and features not unlike the blue one that had been previously paraded. This time however the cart is simply taken up to the Cathedral's eastern entrance, where the head is presented for inspection by Ser Helen and any other Templars who may be around.
In short order, the blue dragon head is removed from the storage shed on the grounds and added to the cart. The macabre display being drawn by the Aspiring Templars into the downtown district and ultimately the university, where instead of heading directly to the College of Biosciences, a detour is made to the Engineering and Technology college.
