The dracoraptors formed a loose circle around the silver fairy, sniffing him. This was their friend. They would not eat him today.
The other fairies dropped their useless invisibility spell. The dracoraptors glanced at their leader, who huffed in annoyance.
A black fairy flew up to the silver one and stopped. The other three moved around them, heading towards the exit. The silver fairy made calming sounds, pulling a familiar leather thing out of the air. Making more calming sounds, he used magic. Suddenly there were two of the leather things.
The dracoraptors sniffed the new leather thing. It smelled like leather and magic.
The silver fairy moved slowly, holding up the old leather thing. This was a familiar ritual. He’d try to slide it over one of the dracoraptor’s snouts, and if they let him, he’d try to sit on their back.
Only two of the pack were ever interested in this. The leader clicked to the two who weren’t, and together they slipped away through the grass. There were three other fairies somewhere on the floor.
Three fairies who wouldn’t be expecting an ambush from behind…

AVI AND Y RODE THE DRACORAPTORS DOWN HERE!!!
I still can’t believe it. I mean, I knew he’s been getting pretty consistent with them letting him ride them instead of trying to eat him, but I didn’t think they were at the point where he could control them yet. Well, “control” is a strong word. I guess mostly he just pointed them at something interesting and they ran towards it. But eventually they got here!
It was just after noon, and we were all in the diner having lunch when the guys got here. Avi is thrilled about the dracoraptors being here. Y said he was just helping get the second one down so I could ride it. Also he was positive the instant he got off the raptor it would eat him, and please help.
I helped by giving them food. Y managed to not die. Kimi thought it was kinda hilarious but assured him he was very brave for trying in the first place.
Unlike the other three guys, who were staying as far away from the huge unpredictable murder machines as possible. Which is understandable.
So yeah, I got to ride a dracoraptor around this afternoon! Avi stayed on the other one, because riding one of those things has been his dream pretty much since the day we found them. I had to drag him off when it got dark. No one else wanted a turn, which I’m not surprised about.
The raptors kinda did whatever they wanted, but that’s fine. They climbed up to the walkway and raced around on the handrails, which was super fun. They like it better up there than down on the ground, so we might leave them there. I mean, we’re leaving them there tonight.
…We should probably warn the kobolds about that. And anyone else who’s likely to come to our floor before- OH HECK.
The walkway is where the treasure chest is! It’s the shortcut to our floor from Floor 97! Tomorrow someone for sure is gonna try climbing out through the chest and will immediately be eaten!
I have to go put a note somewhere in the chest to watch out for raptors!
Goodnight, Dungeon!
