Quest time! Pick two dragons at random. They have to go on a quest now. Raise both of them a level. Roll a 6-sided die for each. If it’s a 1, exalt them as they were lost in the mission.

[i]Zanfalcon and Briar decided to head out to gather some food, leaving behind Kutta as he was not fit enough to fight alongside them. They were not used to the thick foliage of the Wispwillow Grove, having to cut and swipe at branches and bramble to make a clear path.
A rustle, it was a sparrowmouse! Zanfalcon pounced upon the opportunity and chased after the critter, seeing its plump body making them salivate. It was easier for them to rush after it, but Briar was slow and lumbering, her thick mane catching on all manner of things, and so the two were separated for a short period of time.
The Wildclaw managed to capture the wriggling prey, feeling the burst of adrenaline of a successful hunt. However, not all was safe...
"Zan!"
Briar cried out as a black wolf leapt out from the shadows at them. Thanks to the warning, they just managed to avoid a killing blow for the neck, but a fresh burst of hot pain went through their side. Their feet gave way, the soft ground meeting their head. Clutching at their abdomen, Zanfalcon saw Briar burst through and tackle the wolf down. It was a short scuffle, Briar's bulkier body easily overpowered the wolf and removed the threat with a strong bite.
The two breathed heavily, both injured badly, not to mention the oncomings of a fever approaching as the side effects of the plague came to take them for the night, as usual. There was no way of indicating the time of day within the Shadowbringer's territory- this was their only clock, their sickness.
"Zan. Zan, hey. Let's... let's get back to Kutta. He'll be worried for us." Briar helped lift them up, supporting them to walk as they held the sparrowmouse.
"Yeah, let's go." Zanfalcon was still recovering from the shock of what just happened, it was so quick.
~
The two returned back to the makeshift shelter that was just a small clearing in the forest, with neatly arrange beds of leaf litter for each of them. Kutta perked up as they both joined him with their gatherings, though there was a stiffness in the air between them unlike before.
"Briar, Zan, how did it go?" He struggled to get up and look at them both, only seeing rough outlines in a thick green fog for him.
"We got some food, but we've both been injured," Briar laid down on her bed, wincing. A trail of blood had followed her path and stained her fur. "I'll just rest here for now, you two can start eating." Her breath was faint as she said that, eyes drifting.
"Wait, wait Briar. Don't tell me you brought me back here while you were losing all[/i] that[i]?" Zanfalcon dropped their supplies and rushed over to her, hands searching for the wound among all of her hair. Kutta gingerly made his way over as well, crouching next to her.
"...don't worry about me."
She fell limp in Zanfalcon's arms, her last breath leaving her with that final sentence.
-----------------
Zanflacon and Briar were chosen, and set out on a hunting mission for meat and insects while Kutta rested. Zanfalcon, charging recklessly into a hunt for a sparrowmouse, gets badly hurt from a black wolf. They nearly succumb to a fatal blow, but Briar deflects it in time and she defeats it. The duo manage to return safely!
Zanfalcon gets a roll of 2, Briar gets a roll of 1. The two returned back to Kutta, but Briar was hiding a deep gash as they travelled. She knows she wont make it, and dies due to blood loss. The other two bury her and mourn her despite the little time they had together.
Zanfalcon -> lvl 2
Briar -> lvl 2, deceased
