Malefio
You head out of your ship and find that you're in a giant desert. Your ship is at the bottom of a large crater. It's going to be annoying to crawl out of this... And least the heat of the crash left the sand all messed up. Ugh.
You spot an orange dragon flying around over...head. You know that dragon, it's the same damn dragon from the cave.
To the east, you see a huge city complete with an imposing castle. To the west, a tall volcano. And a river of red water flows through the desert and flows to the south, possibly the only source of water in this place. To the north, the desert seems to stretch on and on, endlessly...

M: "Paprika? Red water? This feels too familiar... But this time, she's not my partner isn't she?"
S: "I'm not partnering up with a dragon. Not again."
M: "We'll try to avoid her... Hum... If we want information, we'd better go to that castle... Stay low..."
The party will crawl towards the castle. Weasel will run off in front to scout the castle for Slimex.

It's not Paprika, Malefio would know that much. It's that other dragon you saw. That was fighting the mole.

(Oh, my bad. I forgot anything happened after I got the letter)
M: "Hmm... Slimex? You can detect evil right?"
S: "Indeed..."
M: " Can you use it on that dragon?"
S: "As long as I see it..."
M: "Alright..."
S: "We'r enot making it an ally right?"
M: "I don't think so. Just gathering information..."
Slimex will use Sense Evil on the dragon. Weasel will continue towards the castle to scout.
If the dragon is evil, continue crawling towards the castle. If it isn't, Malefio will reveal himself, but Slimex will stay low. Lagos is free to do what either stay stealthy or reveal himself too.

Malefio
Slimex checks the dragon. It doesn't appear as evil.
"Dragons are dangerous...!" Lagos calls after you quietly. He continues to stay hidden with Slimex.
The dragon lowers itself, but stays in the air. It circles around you from a safe distance, staring. It seems curious.
It's going to take Weasel a while to get there, but as he gets closer he can tell it's not just a castle but an entire, walled-off town.

Malefio nods to acknowledge the dragon, then continues walking towards the castle. He signals Slimex and Lagos to follow him.
S: "Alright, fish. That guy is crazy, what do you say we just follow him from afar while the dragon didn't see us..."
Slimex will keep being stealthy, following Malefio from afar.
Weasel will try to reach the walls and scout all possible entrances.

Malefio
Lagos looks down at his heavy armor and giant sword, all glinting in the sunlight. "What makes you think it doesn't see us!?" he demands.
Scouting all possible entrances is not feasible. This town is huge, sprawling on and on. There may be other gates, but this seems to be the only one heading out towards the desert. It may be possible to go over or under the wall, but there aren't any other obvious entrances through for miles.
When weasel gets close, a man with wolf ears in a guard uniform perks up. He looks at weasel, wags his tail, and growls. Another guard shoves him. "It's just a weasel."
There's a good dozen of them here. The pair of humans are armed with spears, but the rest are unarmed except for a few knives. They appear to be human-animal hybrids, including 3 wolves, a rabbit, 2 hawkes, 3 cats, and... something without obvious traits, but it has pointy enough ears weasel knows it's not human.

S: "It saw you!"
Slimex tries to crawl away from Lagos.
M: "Stop this... If it wanted to attack, it would already have done it."
S: "Fine..."
Continue walking towards the castle.
*****
Weasel will just run around, doing animal stuff. Collecting random pebbles or something. But he's actually eavesdropping if the guards are having any interesting conversation.

Malefio
You continue towards the castle. The dragon follows you for a while, then seems to either get bored or see something more interesting. It turns away and flies off.
Weasel overhears the guards talking about a few things.
One's telling stories about his old adventuring days.
One's talking about his new kid.
One's talking about how he can't wait to have a kid, he's proposing to his girlfriend tonight.
One's talking about how her boyfriend better hurry up and propose, or she's going to kick his ass.
One mentions that her kid stole a sweet roll the other day, so she's taking her kid to the circus tomorrow to show him what happens to thieves and bad people.
One shudders and mentions he really hates that place. It feels evil.
One says something about that circus offering a new bounty on some princess. Weasel doesn't quite catch the name, but apparently it's an obscene amount of cash.
Everyone gets quiet after that.
You arrive just in time to see a young girl appearing at the other side of the gate. She's carrying a telescope, and looks like she's heading out into the desert. She's also dressed as a magical girl, for some reason, with long hair and glasses. One of the guards stops her, presumably to ask where she's going.
The guards snap to attention when you when you approach. One of the rabbits waves. "Ho, there. I don't think I've seen you around these parts."

Ultra
You enter the cotton candy field. It's so pleasantly warm, even if's a bit unstable and hard to walk on.
As you start heading towards the candy town, another marshmallow comes flying from the east. It stays far away from you, circling at a wide distance. Observing you.

Ultra
You proceed through the desert. You make it about 1/3 of the way to the town when you feel the sand cotton candy beneath you shifting slightly. A scorpion graham cracker half your size comes skittering out, tail and pincers at the ready.
The dragon marshmallow continues to hold distance as it circles you.
