Feral glided in slowly, surveying her ravaged troops, "Stupid fools, getting themselves caught in a classic pincer! I told them to be wary…I told them! Hopefully they will now believe me. If only Takhisis, our beloved Dark Queen were here, then, surely then, I would be named Dragon Highlord!"
Another draconian, a bozak, tramped up to her position. "Commander, we have captured a human who we believe to have been instrumental in our defeat. Do you wish to, ah, interview him?"
"Of course! Send him to my tent immediately, and inform him that he will be dealt with shortly."
"Yes, commander." The bozak walked off, heading for the prison tent. Feral transported herself into her tent, and walked into the war room. There, she reviewed the maps that a kender friend of hers had "acquired" (the kender are notoriously light-fingered). Feral removed some tacks from the map, ones which represented certain amounts of her army, and placed them back into the box. She then looked at the map for a long time, studying their position and the surrounding area. She began rearranging the tacks representing her army, positioning them in such a way that a nearby city would never know what hit them. She chuckled softly to herself at the thought of being able to capture the legendary city of Palanthas.
Feral stalked out of the war room, wondering if the prisoner was there yet. He was. Or, she supposed she should say, she was there. Looking at the prisoner, Feral realized that this was the one who was once known as the Golden General. "What a catch!" she thought, "With her in our hands, the war on Palanthas is ours!"
A sivak entered her tent warily. "Commander, the troops are growing restless. They have had nothing with which to play with in the last few months, and have started to fight with each other. When we take the city, allow them to take women as they please."
"I will, Hesra. Inform them that they have a limit of two each, and no bars. Now leave me. I have business to attend to."
Hesra backed out of the tent and went to inform the army of draconian warriors of the Commander's words. They would be very pleased with this new turn of events, he knew it.
