From the newly formed friendship a desire for adventure came forth, and so they went on a journey in search of the lost gold coin.

In this journey the first big hurdle they encountered was an icy mantis, and they prepared for an epic battle that will be sung for generations to come.

The dragon brandished its claws like swords and prepared to release a big gout of flame, at the same time the crow took its rapier (iron toothpick) from their taveling supplies and with unrivaled Grace wielded it.

Two slashes came fast flying out with almost unrivaled speed, but the taveling companions were capable of narrowly dogding It, and seeing this opening they attacked together, the crow using the full piercing provided by its weapon incapacitated one of the mantis' scythes and the dragon in a gout of flame incapacitated the orher but as they thought they won suddenly, they discovered the true reason for the icy in its name, from the mantis' mouth came a whirlwind of pure cold that stole both of their warmth, but not to be outdone the pint sized dragon let off a ball made of flames, that forced the insect to stop its icy breath.
