Track the dragon. Draconic lumberjackery is the best lumberjackery.

Late January

Crazyabe
You lower yourself down over the sheer cliff using the climbing gear. After a few minutes of easy repelling you find the dragon cave you had picked. Lots of seismic activity coming from this one and whatnot. You look down inside the cave and you notice that it is fairly deep. Laying in back, fast asleep, is a decently sized dragon. In the dark you can't exactly tell what it is. Definitely an earth class though. Its lumpy body and muscular shape tell you everything you need to know about this dragon. Not to mention your days of observation well spent learning that this type of dragon is nocturnal. Nabbing it now would be fairly easy, but who knows what will happen if it wakes up while you're in the process of netting it.

ATH
You lower yourself over the edge of the cliff and repel down towards the cave that crazyabe said had a non-earth dragon. He didn't say much else about it really, as he had devoted most of his time towards his own prey. You drop down next to the cave and notice it is larger and better positioned than most of the other caves. This dragon has the best seat in the cliff, so to speak. You peak into the cave and it is definitely occupied! In fact, the resident dragon is quite close to the entrance! You have a good view of it in the afternoon light. The scales on its head and body are a distinctive yellow color, but its underside is a much paler shade of yellow. From your angle, which is the dragon is facing away from you, you notice a few things. It is a drake, that much is certain. It has a long thin tail which is currently swishing back and fourth. Lastly, it has horns. Many dragons have horns, that's not uncommon, however none in this area do. The dragon seems to be eating, but you cannot tell what, however, judging from the scattered bones, your best guess is binglewap.

Cheesecake
You and Oven hunker down and wait for something to come along. It takes a few days for anything to return to the watering hole, but you finally see something approach. This must be an unpopular spot for some reason. The dragon that approaches does so without worry, it in no way hides its presence. It's body is a dark blue color, but its limbs are salmon. It has a long snout and ridges leading from the top of its head down its back. Its wings are neatly folded and look to be rather large. It doesn't have any obvious signs to what class it belongs too, which likely means its a breath or blast class dragon. As for type, without observing its breath ability, you'd have to guess normal. It leans over to drink and a lurking pond slink, likely the reason nothing has returned to the watering hole in a few days, snaps at it. The dragon snaps back, and the two get into a fight. Teeth and claws are going everywhere!

Arcvasti
You follow the logsnapper trail. As you track it you think how unusual this is, Nova Crotian logsnappers are members of the sneak class and very difficult to detect, but here you are tracking its cousin with ease. After a few days of following it across land and sky, you spot it, and everything is clear. Its a log snapper, thats for sure, but its head is a bright red. That redness continues as a stripe down its otherwise cream colored back. This dragon has absolutely no camouflage! What it does have is a very mean looking face. sharp sawlike teeth protrude from its lower jaw over its upper lip. Furthermore, the normally bumpy tail of a Nova Crotian logsnapper is smooth and squat. It seems that this species of logsnapper is much more suited to fighting than those from the mainland. As you're observing it, it sniffs the air and looks right at you and your sicklewing. It does not look happy. in fact, its looking a wee bit territorial.

"Ooh, a good brawl eh, Oven?"

Cheesecake waits and watches. He is ready to intervene if the fight goes too badly for the dragon. When the fight is over, offer the dragon some food and try to befriend it. Failing that, net it!

Arcvasti
Baiting a fight between your dragon and the Sawtooth Logsnapper is not even an issue. Well, its sort of an issue, in that he's charging right at your sicklewing! As it gets closer you notice that it is definitely larger than the sicklewing, maybe fifty percent bigger. And one hundred percent bulkier. This thing looks like it eats whole trees rather than just foliage. However, your sicklewing was build for speed. It bolts, slicing through the air, and the larger dragon spreads its wings and follows it. You see the occasional brown scale on its underside, a further indication that it is a relative to the sicklewings of yon homeland, with a few hundred years of divergent evolution between them of course. Right now you aren't getting so much fight as you are chase, but considering the difference in strength you think chase is good.

ATH
You wait quietly as the beast finishes its meal. Occasional grunts are given off by the predator, small wimpers can be heard beyond the dragon. It finishes devouring the smaller dragon and stands, you see a second and injured binglewap on the floor nearby. The dragon seems to be considering whether or not to eat the poor small dragon now or later.

Crazyabe
You throw the net over the sleeping dragon and *flips coin* the net holds! Pulling it in and securing it is a cinch, the dragon doesn't even wake up. It continues snoring away unawares to the fact that its been captured.

Cheesecake
You watch as the two dragons get into a scrap. Its not pretty. The pondslink is much smaller than the dragon, but it is wild. It has latched onto the dragon and is tossing and turning, trying to drag it down into the water. The other dragon is having difficulty getting the pondslink off its foreleg, as their jaw grip is legendary. After a bit of biting and scratching the dragon looks very very annoyed. Its pupils constrict into vertical slits and it opens its mouth to release its breath attack. What comes out is somehwere between a spray and mist of red liquid. The liquid has a pungent spicy odor that you can smell from all the way in your hiding spot. the pondslink lets out a yelp and slinks back into the water, furiously trying to remove the liquid from its mouth and eyes. the other dragon gets its drink and nurses its wounds.

How injured is the dragon? what is injured? its risk of dying of its wounds? if I can save it net the predator dragon and if I can't net the predator dragon and stay by the smaller dragon so when it dies it is not alone in its final moment's.

Try and get the Logsnapper with the net! If that doesn't work, try again!

ATH
Seeing the danger to the smaller dragon you act quickly. Hoping to save it you net the larger dragon! It is so surprised that it makes a terrified yelping noise and struggles uselessly against the net. Only when it sees that it is being attacked b a human rather than a dragon does it look angry. It bares its teeth and growls at you, but it ceases to struggle against the net. You see that it has long talonlike claws, further signifying that this is a dragon which reys on smaller dragons. The smaller dragon seems as if it it'left wing has been damaged. Dither the wing membrane has been broken or perhaps the bone structure has been damaged. It is not mortally wounded.

Crazybe
You signal for an airship and get the dragon loaded onto it. It seems completely unawares to the entire process and you begin to worry about how heavily its sleeping. At this point you can end your expedition and get a 90% refund on the two additional months you purchased, or you can have the dragon transferred to your stable by the expedition office.

Arcvasti
The dragons are flying about in a game of cat and mouse. You shout for your sicklewing and signal that you're going to capture the Sawtooth. It sweeps in close enough to you that you can toss out the net and hit the Sawtooth. This plan goes almost flawlessly. At the moment you throw the net at the Sawtooth, it shoots its breath attack at your sicklewing. Its breath attack is like a woodchipper, and tiny bits of splintery solid wood fly though the air, directly into the net. this happens to ruin your net, but also, saves your sicklewing from being splintered and skewered. Seeing that its breath attack had already been used, and that it would have to eat more wood to refuel it, you try again with a second net. This time the dragon collides with the net midair and crashes into the ground as the net tightens around it. It doesn't seem injured by the fall, but its temper does not falter. It seems this dragon may need some extra training to overcome its territorial instincts.

Cheesecake
You sit there silently.
