The soarwagon neared the mountainside, skimmed

gnome in the wicker seat leaned out and waved. "Hello!"
he called. "Do you remember me? I'm Bobbin."

where you are. But they're going the other way."
Wingover scowled. "We know about the cats! Any-

"A dragon?" The kender danced about in his excite-
ment. "A real dragon? Where?"
Wingover shook his head in disgust. There was no tell-
ing what the gnome had actually seen... if anything.
