Either one works for me. Either we find out more about what the hell this is doing here(And hopefully don't get caught) before running back to the Throng or we just tell them anyway, even if it amounts to nothing by the time they actually get here. But no matter what, I don't want Mathilde attacking this thing.

So when it hatch would it be cracking a cold one ?
By RPG rules it would be a toss-up if Mathilde could take it out or not. They are quite resilient, so it's nearly guaranteed to survive the first strike and it could chew Mathilde up in a single round. Simply killing it seems a bit hasty in my opinion. Following it should be easy with Mindhole and Take no Heed.

While the Shadowsteed likely wins out on sheer endurance, it's no faster than a normal horse. The Dragon Ogre may prove faster in the short-term, before the tireless nature of the Shadowsteed comes into play.
...so the situation could devolve into high-speed greatweapon mounted chase scene. Matty would just have to roll well for dodging & parrying until the Dragon Ogre got winded.
Then I suppose she could try kiting it and chip away at it's health with her revolver or something.

Given the requirements for promotion and how battle-wizards work in this quest I don't see that journeymen would be much worse than 'full' wizards.
Terradons match the description. Unlikely to be Cold Ones as they come from the frozen north as often as Lustria. Possibly one of the Salamander variants but I hope not. Darn things are untameable.
Worrying as this is… after the last scouting attempt all I can think is 'At least, a challenge worthy of our skills.'
We would most likely win a one-on-one fight. Eventually. Between our Items and our spells we are ludicrously hard to kill and can withdraw whenever we please. However killing the thing would take quite a bit of effort. We were sent to scout, not to hunt.
Edit: I think people are getting confused between a Dragon Ogre, which is ogre sized, and a Dragon Ogre Shaggoth, which is dragon sized.
I have no clue where people are getting 'It can outrun us' from. Neither type of DO can overtake a galloping horse. They might keep up for a few minutes but they are still flesh and blood creatures, unlike our shadowsteed they cannot run forever.

Having a really great time right now
The part in the update where due to its speed and the rocky terrain if we lose it we won't be able to find it again, maybe
None; the near-Badlands has been its usual dry and overbearingly sunny self for as long as you've been there.

If Mathilde tries kiting the dragon ogre and it turns out to be a scout, it'll probably try to run back to its camp rather than fight.

@BoneyM From reading various OOC stuff, I have some idea, but it really does not work with currently available IC knowledge. So. Can we get a short info blurb on what Mat thinks, or knows, about the Dragon Ogre, or is that short blurb in the update all we get in the moment?
So as to make our decision, should we consider Mat to only be considering what was mentioned, as she suddenly is faced with such a monstrous foe?
Or is the knowledge ingrained, so that she can think of it even at a moments notice? And if so, what would that knowledge be. I'd rather not post in thread, to avoid OOC knowledge polluting it. Because boy do I have some OOC ideas about this, but I'd really rather check if this is something to act on, if Mat is also aware, or something to shut up about, if she is not.

That's pretty much all Mathilde knows of them. They're big, nasty, chaos-aligned, and there's a myth about them and lightning. They only come to the Empire's attention when they join the very worst of chaos hordes or beastherds, which means there's not much known of them.

OK then. Shutting up now, and I'll abstain from voting. Thanks for the prompt response.

There's a giant monster lurking around the area of an army camp. Even if Mathilde can't kill it by herself, at least find out what the actual fuck it's doing around here.
