So did the warrior(s) do all this magical mystery stuff in sweatpants?

Ok, I get what he is saying in general...But is this normal operating procedure for PlateauNDN to do with a kill story and post?  Is there going to be pictures or just a medieval tale?  :o
Yes, it's normal, however I can't comment on the picture potential.

The dragon appeared leery and cautious. Stepping slow and soft as though he was concealing his presence. The Dragon was now about 25 yards and still facing head on with the warrior when he stopped. Hesitant, hesitant as he scanned the area looking back and forth holding his next step in mid-air as if ready to step one way or the other, forward or back.

The dark haired warrior awaited as brother Rt let out another battle cry and began destroying a tree as a show of dominance and strength. The gesture made to be insulting and cause the dragon to become irate worked!

The Dragon threw his foot that had hung in mid-air down and with intent to do battle, without worry or cautiousness lunged forward. He lunged with the goal of letting this new challenger know who's boss, who's domain it is and why it's his.

As the dragon turned broadside at about 20 yards to the dark haired warrior he still could not see the weapons this dragon carried and it did not matter. The dark haired warrior had gone a few seasons without facing down and doing battle with a large mature and seasoned dragon that he struck, he struck with the intent to make a clean strike, a strike at the heart of the Dragon.

The strike was true, true as can be, true as if cupid made the shot himself at lovers' hearts.

It had been done, the dragon lay slain and both warriors converged to see their dragon. Laughter and cheer ensued as well as photographic images taken to ensure this story would survive to add to the many tales told around the campfire, in the chariot or on a quiet clear mountain side.

The Warriors shown their dragon to fellow travelers in nearby encampments and shared the tale and what they had uncovered with dragons in various areas.

They made it back to camp and enjoyed the relaxation of a warm fire and coffee before parting ways.

The dragon wasn't the biggest carrier of weapons but he was a dragon worthy of battle. His weapons had shown damage from battle on both sides and he carried an extra point that was broken off as well.

He earned his right to call this valley his, he earned the right to call those female companions his and he was every bit worthy of coming home with the dark haired warrior.

How did the warriors cook the dragon loins; perhaps skewed on a 6 foot lodge pole?  Is special cutlery needed by the hunters to penetrate the skin of the beast?

Probably used the same blade he used on the lava-monster.

I believe that Plateau AKA YAR Medicine Man is one of the best story teller in the land of dragons.
