Eloth shrugs
Again, not an expert on dragons, but even evil dragons wouldn't intentionally put their own egg in harm's way. Maybe she stole another dragon's egg for ransom. Maybe it's a dud. Maybe it's not a dragon egg at all. All I know is that it seems unlikely it's her own. She didn't even hesitate to try to bury us in that cave by collapsing it. Dragon eggs may be tough, but even they will get smashed to bits in that cave-in.
As they near the dragon he whispers to Dreadbolt
We could ask Veera, or Agrat to examine it, but just between you and me, I'd be careful about doing that. They may try to claim it as their own. Ready yourself. We only got once shot at chopping off a wing. I say we play it safe, and both focus on the same wing. It will be able to somewhat break it's fall, but you and me should be able to chop off one wing before we get shaken off. Or we could each go for one, and it would take an even nastier fall, but will be a bit harder. My vote is to play it safe. What say you?
