Good job karkzak, not even a century old and you've gargantuanly messed up. the dragon thought to himself as he hugs his body with his large wings and holding his head with both paws trying to calm down.

not only you've killed an adventurer, but done so infront of their group. The dragon peeks behind him to look at an elf druid, a dwarf riding a warforged, three humans which are a rogue, cleric and fighter with the latter being dead lying in a pool of blood caused by a huge claw mark across their front. The human rogue spoted him looking at them and has told the group causing everyone to look at him and upon seeing their head turn towards him, he further curls into himself.

yep, i am surely dead he took another peek behind to see the elf and warforged approaching him so he decides to lay on the ground onto his side exposing his neck at least they would end this quick so he closes his eyes, bracing for death as their footsteps get closer except he hears them stop a few feet away "we're sorry about one of our party member startling you, this is a common occurence with them" he opens his eyes and turned their head to see the druid crouching with their hand out stretched. Confused he asked "you aren't going to slay me?" Foĺlowed by the druid placing their hand on his neck and slowly stroking it while responding with "no and besides, we entered this cave thinking it was a good place to shelter from the storm raging outside not expecting to find another creature here".

Hearing this he responded with a "thank you" before closing their eyes and falling asleep exhausted.
