Inside the castle where we see Allura, Kima, and Uriel talking to an injured Krieg

Uriel: And you saw it? Who did this?

General Krieg: Aye, The beast is a blue dragon sire. Only a few of us managed to escape

Uriel: My gods (Looks at Allura) Allura, you've dealt with such creatures in the past. How do we fight it?

Allura: Well that was a red dragon years ago, but to my experience dragons are fiercely intelligent calculating creatures. Their machinations run deep.

The door opens and they see Fince walking up to them

Krieg: Ah, Sir Fince finally joins us. I hope this crisis hasn't kept you from skulking.

Fince: I've been gathering intelligence we sorely lack. Seems your band of fools have gone missing. (Smirk) Safe to say you've sent Vox Machina to their doom?

Said group appeared behind him.

Scanlan: Doom? We don't know the meaning of the word.

Grog: Uh, I certainly don't...

Y/n: Doom is basically death, destruction, the end of the world, the big goodbye.

Grog: Uhhhh? What?

Y/n: (sighs) nevermind...

Scanlan: (Smirks) Sovereign, hold on to your goddamn crown. We've discovered that the monster is none other than...a blue dragon!

All: We know.

Allura: Did you kill it?

Keyleth: I wouldn't say "kill," really.

Pike: We're still kind of working on that part.

Y/n: it's... difficult to say the least.

Krieg: (laughs) I can't believe you made it out alive. How did you survive?

Scanlan: Mm, trade secret I'm afraid, Kriegy.

Percy: We hid and it flew away.

Y/n elbows Percy as Scanlan gives him the finger.

Grog: (Laughs) ...Wait. How did we survive that?

Y/n: (mutters) dumb fucking luck I say.

Fince: These blabbering fools are useless, sire. Perhaps if we made an offering to the dragon. Gold in exchange for peace?

Vax: Why don't we shake its hand and offer it a fucking pint while we're at it.

Y/n: or we can talk about our feelings with it...

Vex: A dragon cannot be bartered with. If it desires Emon's destruction, it will not relent.

Krieg: You heard her, sire. You know what must be done.

Kima: But what I'd it attacks the city? We'd be sitting ducks.

Uriel: What would you have me do!? Let it burn more farmland, slaughter more innocents? No, we will bring the fight to it on our terms. (To Krieg) General, you may move our soldiers at dawn.

Kima: But sire, you know as-

Uriel: I have made my decision, Lady Kima.

Y/n: Sire, if I might suggest-

Uriel: (interrupt him) It has already been decided. This council is adjourned.

Guard: All right, you heard him. Clear out.

The guards push the group away to the exit, while Vex looks at Fince suspiciously. Soon they exit the castle and two guards outside are seen petting Trinket.
