As the dragon passes low over the derelict buildings, the bottom of the net skims a jagged parapet and is ripped open. One by one the heavy blocks of stone drop from the ruined net to shatter like exploding bombs when they hit the ground. Desperately you cling to the netting to avoid being swept away and crushed in the fall. The dragon caws loudly when the last block drops away and it sees you entangled in its shredded cargo net. Its frantic cries of alarm alert a passing trio of Lavas who come swooping down to investigate. Fearing capture, you leap from the net and hit a mound of dusty soil which softens your fall. Winded and shaken by the impact, but otherwise unharmed, you roll away from the mound and take cover beneath a cracked slab of basalt in the hope of avoiding the keen eyes of the approaching Lavas.
