Final Quest

"We must progress onwards" Calls the green dragon impatiently "Why do you pause? To destroy our quest all the more?" His questions echo unanswered around the mountain chilling you. To avoid the confrontation you swiftly choose the easier path. How can your enemies hurt you more than the green dragons words.The footholds are firm and so easily you progress onwards trying not to feel the dragons yellow ember eyes boring into the nape of your neck. But this is your failing while concentrating so hard to ignore your senses you do not realise that you are being watched. Not by the green dragon but by something more sinister. Suddenely a huge bird like creature covered in rock armour dives from the sky trying to knock you off the face of the mountain. Desperately you cling on as best you can. Seeing that it is failing the bird swoops down and plucks the bag containing the stone from around your waist and carries it away to its nest where a dark plinth can clearly be seen. What do you do now?
