Karronteel, despite his enthusiasm, was unable to win so easily against his opponent. The six level difference didn't help.
The two dragons exchanged breath attacks constantly as they were at a draw each time. Speed was Karronteel's greatest advantage, letting him land a few attacks with his sharp claws. But he had also felt the force of one of the Flood Dragon's steam explosions to even the score. Both of them were panting and waiting to see what came next in their fight.
While that was taking place, Karronteel couldn't help but notice the other battle ending and Hadurt taking on four more opponents at once. Also, he spotted the rest of the party staying the army before they were about to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of incoming soldiers, as the Reinolt army was still moments away as well.
