Seplar, 1400
Goblins swarmed through the trees and around the rocks. Bumblebee's companions took to the fight immediately with instructions yelled to one another. He, however, flattened himself to the ground and crawled to a position behind a root. Rising to a knee and knocking an arrow, he looked for a target. Spotting a goblin mage by its crackling aura, Bumblebee loosed the arrow. Immediately the mage's archer guards let loose a volley directly at the crouching brownie.
Without thinking, Bumblebee pulled the dappled shadows the covered himself and the ground into a concealing cloak. But only for an instant. Like smoke ring cast forth into a breeze, the shadows blew away. The next arrows found their mark.
Two shafts punched cleanly through his leather armor, ripping holes out the far side of his body. The force of the impacts drove his tiny body to the ground. A soundless cry signalled that this death was not to be so quick as the one to the skunks. The bindstone did not appear before Bumblebee, instead a piece of his soul was peeled away. No, this death signalled that the dragon called are not immortal.

((OOC
Bumblebee got his first DT. This was midway into Minerva's quest "Of Goblins and Golems." It was a quite enjoyable quest. The DT experience fit well with his progression of understanding what being dragon called means. He also had the chance to travel with a Drow and spent a large amount of time keeping a wary eye on her. The drow, to him, are an evil race and not to be trusted, even the "tame" ones that make claims of good intentions.
Though I know OOCly that sneaking after engaging in battle does not result in being hidden, I play Bumblebee that way. He will fire an arrow and then sneak to another flanking position. Over time he will begin to get more of a feel for the shadows and how to pull them around himself. This char dev thread will reflect that.
