ardent idolatry: Cordelia was tired of sitting around the Bullet and Blade
while she had a castle not far away. They had done little to eradicate the
holdings of its intruder and so, she decided that they were going to do it
today. Rather than have
ardent idolatry: the group meet her at the Inne they currently called their
headquarters, she had told them to meet her at the castle. Upon reaching The
Bitter End Andron would find instructions on how to get through, not only to
The Bullet and
ardent idolatry: Blade, but to the castle, handed over by the precious
Marion. The enterprising noble had come armed for success, with everything
she'd need to clear out the basements. Mainly, her guns, daggers and all the
other weapons she managed
ardent idolatry: to keep hidden around her person.

Georg Pryme: Georg had been in Navahla when the call was sent out, leaving
his shop in the hands of his clerk as he set about arming himself for the
appropriate danger they were about to face. It took a bit of time to get
into his armor, but he
Georg Pryme: spent the time preparing himself mentally for what lay ahead.
Gathering up the rest of a few odds and ends, he hoisted his pack and set out
to The Bitter End to take the connections he would need to make it to the
Castle. A single
edict unwritten: It had been awhile since he had seen any of those who were
members within the Syndicate, hell even his weekly trips to the Bullet and
Blade had seemed to deminish. He hoped they didn't think him dead after the
ceiling had come
Georg Pryme: scabbard sat at his left hip with the hilt of a greatsword
visible. As he crossed through the portal, he drew on the strength lying
just under the surface, ready to be used as he tapped into his rage(CMs: Rock

lurkerinshade: A simple decision left his Sir Matthias, his bodyguard, to
handle things at his own Doxenian holdings .. even if a villa was far more
simple to handle the affairs of than a castle! .. It allowed Adalric to
wander away from the
Georg Pryme: adventure, Adrenaline Rush: +12 HP for the adventure).
psycharnum: Andron followed directions easily enough, having accepted them
from Marion with his polite thanks. Having spent the evening at the Bitter
End, he eventually would arrived dressed in the same clothes he'd worn to the
establishment
edict unwritten: down. He passed through the portals in Sarkotos and upon
his arrival to the Bullet and Blade he gave the place a once over. Wondering
if Vixen had found new replacements for both Missy and Sissy. Sad really. He
didn't linger there
lurkerinshade: the locale in order to answer the call by way of his arrival
at the castle as demanded by their fearless, gun-toting leader. Although
securing matters at both his own and his familial abode in the Avilon Isles
had drawn him away re-
psycharnum: the day prior. The portal hopping had been a little
disconcerting, but the queasy feelings soon passed. Straightening his coat a
bit, Andron took a seat on whatever was available, using this time to size up
the group he was to be
edict unwritten: long before he set off towards the castle, draped mostly in
his darker leathers, a hood pulled over his face while his hands idled at his
side. In his arrival, he would give the other members a nod, while he lowered
his hood, was no

psycharnum: working with on this particular day..
lurkerinshade: surfacing certainly did place the Little Noble directly into
the excitement, or tradegy, that was no doubt about to come down upon all
their heads. Either variation meant a use for his spears .. and that alone
made him see fit to
lurkerinshade: give one of those pointy causes of death a twirl in his palm
along the way. -d
ardent idolatry: Cord watched as each of her merry men arrived just outside
of the castle doors. " This is.. " She knew his name, everyone could be sure,
but she liked to give people nicknames. " This is.. " Well, she couldn't
think of one right
ardent idolatry: now that fit his personality, so she said: " Cannon fodder.
" She pointed at Andron; they were free to introduce themselves as they
pleased. " He has a very interesting set of abilities. " Boy, was that an
underestimation, a grin
ardent idolatry: was offered to the man before she took on a serious tone,
and turned to Adalric. " So, what did you find out? " It was his time to
shine, and if he hadn't done his job properly, then she was going to put a
bullet through his eye -
ardent idolatry: she wanted access to her castle!
Georg Pryme: A nod given in greeting to those he knew and didn't know alike,
grinning as he saw the new face to come to the group. "Well, seems we have
some new blood. Georg, though most call me Deathblow here." A wink sent
over Vixen's way
Georg Pryme: as he waited for her to tease him with it. "Good to meet you .
. . cannon fodder, was it?"
edict unwritten: He gave the man a look over once and then gave him a nod,
"Quinn." His attention didn't last long on the new comer, instead he turned
to listen to Adalric.
psycharnum: "It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Georg." Andron slightly
chuckled at Cord's introduction, nodding in reply. "Apparently, yes. I
suppose I'm Cannon Fodder for now." Quinn's nod was returned in kind, and he
also looked to the
psycharnum: man who now had the floor to give them the details of the job..
lurkerinshade: Well that didn't sound quite right .. Adalric had never
called Georg by that nickname .. well.. ever! When the query into what he'd
learned through poison and torture came up the Little Noble proceded with a
grin. " The Spellsling
lurkerinshade: -er had some interesting things to tell me. " A hand rose up
to motion to the castle then off somewhere to the side though not anywhere in
particular as it would just sidetrack from the matter at hand. " There is an
Incarnum Dragon
lurkerinshade: in there. " If they wanted more than that right then? Well
that would take a little more explanation and a investigation of the castle
interior more than likely! -d

Planes? ]

ardent idolatry: All Cordelia heard was dragon, she knew there were
different colours, but that was about the extent of her knowledge. Her nose
wrinkled as she considered what their next step would be, " Does anyone know
anything about ..Incarnum..
ardent idolatry: dragons? " She paused for a moment, then asked: " What's an
Incarnum? " It was not often that she offered up the knowledge that she was
clueless, but if they were going to survive this, then the more they knew,
the better!
lurkerinshade: " Incarnum is .. well the magic of the soul is about all I
was able to learn. " Fortunately he proved much more knowledgable about
dragonkind than he was about magic! " Judging by what the mage had to say ..
the specific dragon in
psycharnum: Andron knew little to nothing of the things they were
discussing, but he had heard enough key words to try and focus his particular
gifts. His eyes were closed, head tilted a bit to the side. It might even
seem as though he'd
Georg Pryme: He heard Dragon and shifted his pack around, reaching in to
grab a vest(Winged Vest) and then set his pack down so he could shrug into
it. It was a tight fit over the armor, but he'd taken it in mind when
designing it. He listened
lurkerinshade: there has sparkling green highlights to its scales. Usually
their kind are not even found outside the planes.. this is an unusual
specimen to say the least. But I disgress.. the beast spits out a nasty cone
of resonating incarnum
psycharnum: dozed off while reaching through the Viridian Fade for some sort
of clue or answer. Now and then, he would grunt slightly, or his hands would
twitch in his lap, but there were no telltale signs that anything unusual was
psycharnum: amiss. [Clairvoyant - could learn something, DM's discretion.]
Georg Pryme: as the information was being given out, preparing himself for
the best way to approach this fight. He formulated a few plans, but in all,
there wasn't much he could do to prepare for something of this scope beyond
what he'd already

lurkerinshade: energy .. they are very capable with both normal magics and
something known as meldshaping .. binding soul energy into magic and their..
um.. chakra points. Makes them more physically potent by what my research has
brought up. "
OnlineHost: edict unwritten has entered the room.
lurkerinshade: While not his own work he produced a rough sketch of the
general appearance of the sort of dragon they would be dealing with. " ..
This will be interesting. " -d
Georg Pryme: done. A scratch or two given to his brand as he thought it all
out.
psycharnum: Andron had only seemed to be out for a few moments when his head
snapped up suddenly, eyes opened and wide-awake once more. Reaching into the
Viridian Fade, even briefly, could be disorienting. He rose from his seat to
pace back
edict unwritten: Quinn remained silent. There was little to no information
on Dragons back at the Den, it wasn't something that was dealt with often.
When Adalric mentioned that it was some sort of soul dragon he seemed more
out of tune with the
ardent idolatry: Cordelia listened to Adalric, and sighed softly. " It
couldn't be a nice little dragon, could it? Nope. " Of course, it had to be
some super epic dragon that was acting out of character. " When you say that
they don't usually come

was one thing he did know about dragons was their treasure troves were at
least decent.
ardent idolatry: to this plane, what do you mean? " She had little knowledge
about the different planes, but she knew they existed because of all the
portals and stuff people used.

OnlineHost: psycharnum has entered the room.
psycharnum: and forth, lightly shaking his hands as if he were air-drying
them. "I saw.. a den. It had many levels, and was filled with eggs. Blue?"
Andron ceased his pacing, staring off toward nothing in particular, before
shaking his
lurkerinshade: " They stick to the outer planes .. the planes tied to
certain morality tendacies like order and chaos, good and evil. Incarnum
Dragons favor those places. Probably for the hunting oppurtunities .. and
massive amounts of incarnum
psycharnum: head. "No, that's not right. Purple? Somewhere in between.
Indigo, I believe you call it." He shrugged, turning to look around the
room. "There were hundreds of them down there. It could be from the past,
or the future.. they
psycharnum: may very well be there now." Dragon eggs did fetch a hefty sum
in just about any market, he would assume. A slight grin pulled at his
lips..
psycharnum: [at the others, not the room lol*]
lurkerinshade: buzzing about. " Adalric really did not understand all that
much about magic and the planes .. just enough to know he likely needed to
branch out into that line of study. " If we can get close .. I might be able
to deal with its
lurkerinshade: magical capabilities. " -d
ardent idolatry: Well, there was no use in standing around here talking
about it anymore. Cordelia looked up to the big door that served as entrance
to the castle, " Let's get this over and done with. Eggs? " She was suddenly
distracted by the
OnlineHost: Georg Pryme has left the room.
OnlineHost: Georg Pryme has entered the room.
ardent idolatry: mentioned of eggs! " Wonderful. " Cord was starting to
wonder if this castle was worth all the trouble she'd had to go through just
to get inside its doors! " Quinn, stick by the new guy. " The other two
already knew what to do, in
ardent idolatry: the end, it was Cordelia who, using both hands, pushed the
double doors open to the grand foyer that served as entrance and stepped
inside.
Georg Pryme: "I should be able to keep its attention. I can't guarantee for
very long, but I can buy some time." A wry grin was spread across his lips
as he thought of the challenge this fight would be. His blood was pumping in
anticipation
Georg Pryme: as he followed Cordy through the doors, keeping as alert as he
could. He looked over Adalric's way, possibly having missed this question
being asked. "Is it vulnerable to anything in particular?" A Dragon . . .
he knew some of
Georg Pryme: lore about them, but not enough to know what applied to which
kind.
psycharnum: So, Andron was to be babysat. He let out a sigh, straightened
his coat, and made for the entrance of the castle. While letting the
front-line guys head past, he waited to accompany Quinn and followed along.
Eventually, curiosity
psycharnum: would get the better of him. "If we see any of these eggs,
should we snatch them?.."
edict unwritten: Quinn looked to Cannon Fodder and rose a brow, he gave a
nod forward as he trailed behind the Enforcer and Cleaner and began to have a
look around as they entered, even listening for the smallest of sounds. He
wasn't going to hold
edict unwritten: Andron's hand, he seemed to have a good wit about him, but
he did make sure he didn't get into to much trouble.
lurkerinshade: " Thats the thing Georg .. I need to be in its face .. where
its breathing. " Or he supposed Georg could .. unhappy as it would make him
not to be the cause of the Dragons dismay over lacking magic. Begrudgingly he
considered the
lurkerinshade: idea .. it would be far more to their advantage if it focused
on Georg after all. " Or you could .. how do you feel about blowing a little
powder in a dragons snout? Has to breathe it in. =d
lurkerinshade: "* -d
ardent idolatry: [ Have they all moved inside? ]
Georg Pryme: He'd nod as he heard what Adalric had said, nodding as he heard
the suggestion. "That was my plan to begin with. Gotta keep its attention
focused away from the rest of you. I can take a hit or two before I need to
worry(Georg
Georg Pryme: has)." He looked over to the newcomer, reaching into his pack
again, what a handy thing that haversack! A folded suit of leather armor was
taken out, passing it over Andron's way before they set out further. "Take a
moment and
edict unwritten: ( Quinn is and assuming since Adron is following, he is
too. )
psycharnum: [Andron has, yes.]
edict unwritten: (Andron*)
Georg Pryme: put that on. It should do you some good if there's more we
have to worry about than a Dragon." He looked about, seeing if there was
anything else he could divy out to help ensure their complete
survival(loaning Murderer's
Georg Pryme: Blackcloth: Leather Armor - 12 DEF to Andron for the mission).
psycharnum: He had been keeping an eye out and taking in the castle's
interior while the others discussed tanking the dragon, only to suddenly find
a suit of armor being passed his way. "Well, I appreciate the loan, Georg.
I'll see to it that
psycharnum: your armor is returned in pristine condition." It was light
enough not to hinder him, so he stepped away from the others and took a few
moments to properly attire himself, folding his coat and leaving it back near
the door to be
psycharnum: picked up on the way out...
ardent idolatry: The foyer of the castle was quiet; it was obvious that no
one had been there for a long time. There were things all over the place -
broken furniture, torn tapestrys, and a rather large hole where the staircase
used to be. It lead
ardent idolatry: down, into the pits of the castle, and well below it. If
they looked down into it, it looked like there was a steady incline, but it
was dark, very very dark.
edict unwritten: Quinn ignited his Rod of Hidden Light and made his approach
so to have a look down the hole. He shined the light down, thankfully a light
only he could see, and had a look inside. ( Spot )
ardent idolatry: [ Roll it ]
OnlineHost: edict unwritten rolled 1 20-sided die: 4
edict unwritten: ( Quick Recon: +4 +10 from Alert +4 Per=18 )
Georg Pryme: Well, Georg was nothing if not prepared. As they began to
enter the castle, he slipped a pair of lenses into his eyes(Eyes of the
Dragon - 120 ft Darkvision, 60 ft Blindsense) before continuing to move down
the way. He'd be near
Georg Pryme: the front of the procession, thinking it wise to have a spotter
up with him he kept even with Quinn as he inspected the way.
ardent idolatry: Quinn would see the incline, and a the glitter of something
at the bottom where it curved to a flat.
edict unwritten: "Anything that glitters about this dragon?" He looked to
others because clearly he didn't have a clue.
psycharnum: Andron had dressed himself and tightened the straps that needed
tightening, before hurrying to catch up to the others. By then, they were at
the hole with Quinn and Georg looking into the Abyss. For now, he hung back
and waited
psycharnum: for instructions. Or for some kind of screaming horror to come
rushing up at them..
lurkerinshade: Adalric took a spot in the middle of that progressing line of
people. As the one capable with a spear .. it'd do well enough to poke and
stab anything they encountered when the oppurtunity came about through
openings in his allies
lurkerinshade: own attacks. It made for a simplified means of dealing with
such things. And made his focus only need to be on his surrondings for the
moment. -d
ardent idolatry: Quinn only got a shrug to his question, for she had no
idea. She liked glittery things though, Cord followed up behind, because she
preferred shooting things, than stabbing things!
ardent idolatry: [DM] As they progressed down along the incline, they would
notice that the walls were slowly but surely becoming encrusted with a
purplish crystal substance. In the crystal were different coloured glittering
gems, of all shapes and
ardent idolatry: sizes. The further they travelled down the incline, and
especially when they evened out on their trek down the hole, the denser it
became.
edict unwritten: He had to assume no and made his way down the slope slowly
and carefully while continuing to look ahead of them as far as his eye could
see. He figured he get a better look around when he came to the edge of the
glittering substance
Georg Pryme: He took in the sight of the gems with amazement. He'd never
seen such clusters, and he was no stranger to mines. He refrained from
reaching out to touch them, though a part of him wanted to. He returned his
focus to the task at
edict unwritten: only to find it was Gems. Pay Day was all that ran through
his head but he didn't grab them, he knew better. He looked further, hoping
that he good see or lisyen despite how dense it had become. ( Spot/listen? )
Georg Pryme: hand, whispering the word: Deathblow as the hilt of the
greatsword in his scabbard vanished, only to reappear in his right hand a
moment later.
ardent idolatry: [ If you want ]
psycharnum: Upon reaching the gems down the incline, Andron began to wonder
just what in the hell he was getting himself into. If these were indeed real
gems, and no one had come along to take them yet, then they were likely being
guarded by
psycharnum: something powerful indeed. As the others hadn't started trying
to gather them up, Andron would also refrain. After all, there was time for
looting after the dragon was dead or driven off..
edict unwritten: ( just listen)
OnlineHost: edict unwritten rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
edict unwritten: [Quick Recon: 2+10 alert+4 PER=16]
lurkerinshade: The clusters of crystals were beautiful certainly. What made
them like that? Of course he stared curiously (curiousity flaw) even as they
made progress. Well this was bound to become distracting! -d
ardent idolatry: Quinn would hear breathing coming from down the way.
ardent idolatry: Oh, the crystals were indigo! Just like the dragon!
edict unwritten: Quinn would simply point towards the direction he herd the
breathing come from. "This way," he said in a low tone.
ardent idolatry: " Let's keep moving. " She could see the glitter of greed
in their eyes, and she felt it too, but for now, she wanted to deal with the
dragon. It was Adalric whose arm she linked her own, and she tugged him along
in the direction
ardent idolatry: Quinn pointed out. She wouldn't be the first to admit it,
but she was a little bit scared.. and Adalric would be easy to push in front
of anything that tried to eat her!
psycharnum: Truth be told, he'd never seen a dragon. Where he was from, if
they'd ever been real, they'd been driven to extinction eons ago. There was
a deadly allure to facing such a creature. Sure, you could be crushed and
devoured, but
Georg Pryme: He just nodded once as he saw Quinn point out the direction. A
slight grin as he kept moving forward. He hadn't been putting all he could
into most fights, he'd definitely not be able to hold back in this one. From
the looks of
Georg Pryme: things, he'd be able to craft something worthy of crafting with
this beast's bones and scales. His knuckles whitened as his grip shifted on
the hilt of his blade, flexing the wings(Winged Vest) as he prepared to take
on the fight
ardent idolatry: [DM] At the end of the "corridor" of crystal, there was a
path down, and a path up, each one was lined with gems, but the one up had an
ominous glow. The breathing Quinn could hear, came from the path down.
Georg Pryme: to any level it went. His mind was on one thing: putting the
beast down as quickly as he could.
psycharnum: there was always that rare chance for glory. "I've never seen a
real dragon." He muttered to the others, quietly. "Anything I should watch
out for? Aside from, of course, it's teeth, claws, tail, firey breath,
and.." His
lurkerinshade: Well that certainly was a sudden change that dragged his
attention once more towards the group and their progress. He blinked at Cordy
then the rest of them now that his gaze had been torn away from the crystals.
" This one doesn't
lurkerinshade: have fiery breath.. " Adalric mumbled that bit of wisdom. -d
psycharnum: commentary was cut off as soon as he realized this place had
become familiar. "That path." He pointed to the one leading up. "That's
where the eggs are.. well, were. In the vision I'd had.."
edict unwritten: "Breathing is coming from below."He looked to the path that
went up and was curious if it led to ledge in the next room, but that theory
was quickly snuffed when Andron pointed out what it really was.
ardent idolatry: Cordelia was loathed to split them up, but Quinn was green
and the new guy was untested. She looked between them all and said: " Quinn,
Cannon fodder, I want you to go up and deal with the eggs. If anything comes
out of them, kill
ardent idolatry: them all dead, got it? We, will deal with the dragon.. "
psycharnum: "Should we try and capture any?"
ardent idolatry: " Do you know how to capture a dragon whelp? "
psycharnum: "...The eggs. Should they not all burst open. Otherwise, no,
not really. I can't imagine it would be too much trouble.."
Georg Pryme: He looked to Adalric then, he'd mentioned something about a
powder to weaken the beast. "I'll be able to hold its attention if I use
that powder you spoke of. Now's better than later in handing it over, I
suppose." He had
ardent idolatry: Cord shrugged then, " If you want to try I won't stop you,
but if you die, I'm taking your cut of the treasures. "
psycharnum: "Fair enough."
edict unwritten: "Doubt telling it your it's daddy will work," he grinned
and gave Vixen a nod and began to head up. Though the man did have a point
about the ones that didn't hatch.
lurkerinshade: " The eggs are more viable, but training a dragon .. its not
easy. Its costly actually .. in the end you'd spend a fortune training just
one. " His bit of wisdom they could make of it what they would .. or sell the
eggs. Really he
lurkerinshade: was far more intent on dragonslaying .. and crystals for
crystals were cool. -d
Georg Pryme: something in mind for keeping its attention focused on him.
psycharnum: Andron followed Quinn, leaving the others to go fight a FREAKIN
DRAGON while they were stuck with egg duty. It was a little disheartening,
but those were the ropes when you were the new guy. "I don't know, I think
I'd make a good
psycharnum: Father to a young dragon in need.."
ardent idolatry: Cordelia wondered about the two of them as they head up
towards the eggs. Shaking her head, she looked between Georg and Adalric as
they exchanged things. " Let's get this over with. If I die, don't do
anything creepy to my
ardent idolatry: corpse.. "
edict unwritten: "What ya name it?" He was just making conversation while
the rest of them got to go play.
edict unwritten: would ya*
ardent idolatry: [DM] The MOMENT that Quinn started towards the eggs, the
dragon awoke.. and roared. The cavern started to rumble as it moved about in
the cavern below, and bellowed a roar of anger. It was a female dragon,
intent on propecting her
ardent idolatry: eggs. The roar resonated through the eggs and three of them
started to hatch..
ardent idolatry: Upstairs (Heroic) - Andron /30 [12] - Whelp /?? [??] -
Quinn /32 [20] - Whelp /?? [??] - Whelp /?? [??]
ardent idolatry: Downstairs (Mythic) - Adalric /46 [22] - Cordelia /44 [22]

psycharnum: "Well, if it's a male.." He'd started, when the roar came
echoing throughout the cavern. How thrilling! Until the eggs began to
hatch, which brought a heavy sigh. "Something tells me it's probably not
going to matter.."
ardent idolatry: [ Andron ]
ardent idolatry: [ I figured this would be easier for turns, just fyi! ]
psycharnum: Before the first whelp could fully free itself from it's shell,
he began to focus his will on the creature. Extending a hand, fingers
splayed out, kinetic force began to build around the whelpling. Closing into
a tight fist, he
psycharnum: tired to crush the thing before it could become too much of a
nuisance.

lurkerinshade: There were some things that Adalric knew exceeding well. He
knew dragons quite well as a research subject. Fighting dragons? Now that
happened to be a different story altogether. That did not change that Adalric
trusted his own
lurkerinshade: capabilities and what he could make to use against dragons.
And this .. was his chance to put his knowledge into practice! So it was that
he tossed the draw-string bag containing the Magus Expellum in its violet
powder form to Georg

He had half the nerve to take it and make him a nice new pair of boots. He
checked over his wounds and made his way down stairs to check on the others.
"You alive?"

would nod toward the slab of stone that was now covered in baby dragon
insides. "Do you think we should try and loot some of these eggs?.."

ended, staying alert, knowing it had disappeared. He wasn't sure if it was

need to get you some armor. I'll work on something for you."

three were able to hatch on command, the rest probably aren't far off."
Andron took up the two bodies of the whelps that weren't crushed, for

Georg Pryme: Georg had been in Navahla when the call was sent out, leaving
his shop in the hands of his clerk as he set about arming himself for the
appropriate danger they were about to face. It took a bit of time to get
into his armor, but he

Gathering up the rest of a few odds and ends, he hoisted his pack and set out
to The Bitter End to take the connections he would need to make it to the

grinning as he saw the new face to come to the group. "Well, seems we have
some new blood. Georg, though most call me Deathblow here." A wink sent
over Vixen's way
Georg Pryme: as he waited for her to tease him with it. "Good to meet you .

"Quinn." His attention didn't last long on the new comer, instead he turned
to listen to Adalric.
psycharnum: "It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Georg." Andron slightly
chuckled at Cord's introduction, nodding in reply. "Apparently, yes. I
suppose I'm Cannon Fodder for now." Quinn's nod was returned in kind, and he
also looked to the

called Georg by that nickname .. well.. ever! When the query into what he'd

grin. " The Spellsling

Viridian Fade, even briefly, could be disorienting. He rose from his seat to
pace back

about it anymore. Cordelia looked up to the big door that served as entrance

double doors open to the grand foyer that served as entrance and stepped
inside.
Georg Pryme: "I should be able to keep its attention. I can't guarantee for
very long, but I can buy some time." A wry grin was spread across his lips
as he thought of the challenge this fight would be. His blood was pumping in
anticipation
Georg Pryme: as he followed Cordy through the doors, keeping as alert as he
could. He looked over Adalric's way, possibly having missed this question
being asked. "Is it vulnerable to anything in particular?" A Dragon . . .
he knew some of
Georg Pryme: lore about them, but not enough to know what applied to which
kind.
psycharnum: So, Andron was to be babysat. He let out a sigh, straightened
his coat, and made for the entrance of the castle. While letting the
front-line guys head past, he waited to accompany Quinn and followed along.
Eventually, curiosity

should we snatch them?.."

nod forward as he trailed behind the Enforcer and Cleaner and began to have a
look around as they entered, even listening for the smallest of sounds. He
wasn't going to hold

not to be the cause of the Dragons dismay over lacking magic. Begrudgingly he
considered the

on Georg after all. " Or you could .. how do you feel about blowing a little

Georg Pryme: He'd nod as he heard what Adalric had said, nodding as he heard
the suggestion. "That was my plan to begin with. Gotta keep its attention
focused away from the rest of you. I can take a hit or two before I need to
worry(Georg
Georg Pryme: has)." He looked over to the newcomer, reaching into his pack
again, what a handy thing that haversack! A folded suit of leather armor was
taken out, passing it over Andron's way before they set out further. "Take a
moment and

have to worry about than a Dragon." He looked about, seeing if there was
anything else he could divy out to help ensure their complete
survival(loaning Murderer's
Georg Pryme: Blackcloth: Leather Armor - 12 DEF to Andron for the mission).
psycharnum: He had been keeping an eye out and taking in the castle's
interior while the others discussed tanking the dragon, only to suddenly find
a suit of armor being passed his way. "Well, I appreciate the loan, Georg.
I'll see to it that

enough not to hinder him, so he stepped away from the others and took a few
moments to properly attire himself, folding his coat and leaving it back near

ardent idolatry: The foyer of the castle was quiet; it was obvious that no
one had been there for a long time. There were things all over the place -
broken furniture, torn tapestrys, and a rather large hole where the staircase
used to be. It lead
ardent idolatry: down, into the pits of the castle, and well below it. If
they looked down into it, it looked like there was a steady incline, but it
was dark, very very dark.

so to have a look down the hole. He shined the light down, thankfully a light
only he could see, and had a look inside. ( Spot )

Georg Pryme: Well, Georg was nothing if not prepared. As they began to
enter the castle, he slipped a pair of lenses into his eyes(Eyes of the
Dragon - 120 ft Darkvision, 60 ft Blindsense) before continuing to move down
the way. He'd be near
Georg Pryme: the front of the procession, thinking it wise to have a spotter
up with him he kept even with Quinn as he inspected the way.
ardent idolatry: Quinn would see the incline, and a the glitter of something
at the bottom where it curved to a flat.
edict unwritten: "Anything that glitters about this dragon?" He looked to
others because clearly he didn't have a clue.
psycharnum: Andron had dressed himself and tightened the straps that needed
tightening, before hurrying to catch up to the others. By then, they were at
the hole with Quinn and Georg looking into the Abyss. For now, he hung back
and waited
psycharnum: for instructions. Or for some kind of screaming horror to come
rushing up at them..
lurkerinshade: Adalric took a spot in the middle of that progressing line of
people. As the one capable with a spear .. it'd do well enough to poke and
stab anything they encountered when the oppurtunity came about through
openings in his allies
lurkerinshade: own attacks. It made for a simplified means of dealing with
such things. And made his focus only need to be on his surrondings for the
moment. -d
ardent idolatry: Quinn only got a shrug to his question, for she had no
idea. She liked glittery things though, Cord followed up behind, because she
preferred shooting things, than stabbing things!
ardent idolatry: [DM] As they progressed down along the incline, they would
notice that the walls were slowly but surely becoming encrusted with a
purplish crystal substance. In the crystal were different coloured glittering
gems, of all shapes and
ardent idolatry: sizes. The further they travelled down the incline, and
especially when they evened out on their trek down the hole, the denser it
became.
edict unwritten: He had to assume no and made his way down the slope slowly
and carefully while continuing to look ahead of them as far as his eye could
see. He figured he get a better look around when he came to the edge of the
glittering substance
Georg Pryme: He took in the sight of the gems with amazement. He'd never
seen such clusters, and he was no stranger to mines. He refrained from
reaching out to touch them, though a part of him wanted to. He returned his
focus to the task at
edict unwritten: only to find it was Gems. Pay Day was all that ran through
his head but he didn't grab them, he knew better. He looked further, hoping
that he good see or lisyen despite how dense it had become. ( Spot/listen? )
Georg Pryme: hand, whispering the word: Deathblow as the hilt of the
greatsword in his scabbard vanished, only to reappear in his right hand a
moment later.
ardent idolatry: [ If you want ]
psycharnum: Upon reaching the gems down the incline, Andron began to wonder
just what in the hell he was getting himself into. If these were indeed real
gems, and no one had come along to take them yet, then they were likely being
guarded by
psycharnum: something powerful indeed. As the others hadn't started trying
to gather them up, Andron would also refrain. After all, there was time for
looting after the dragon was dead or driven off..

lurkerinshade: The clusters of crystals were beautiful certainly. What made
them like that? Of course he stared curiously (curiousity flaw) even as they
made progress. Well this was bound to become distracting! -d
ardent idolatry: Quinn would hear breathing coming from down the way.
ardent idolatry: Oh, the crystals were indigo! Just like the dragon!
edict unwritten: Quinn would simply point towards the direction he herd the
breathing come from. "This way," he said in a low tone.
ardent idolatry: " Let's keep moving. " She could see the glitter of greed
in their eyes, and she felt it too, but for now, she wanted to deal with the
dragon. It was Adalric whose arm she linked her own, and she tugged him along
in the direction
ardent idolatry: Quinn pointed out. She wouldn't be the first to admit it,
but she was a little bit scared.. and Adalric would be easy to push in front
of anything that tried to eat her!
psycharnum: Truth be told, he'd never seen a dragon. Where he was from, if
they'd ever been real, they'd been driven to extinction eons ago. There was
a deadly allure to facing such a creature. Sure, you could be crushed and
devoured, but
Georg Pryme: He just nodded once as he saw Quinn point out the direction. A
slight grin as he kept moving forward. He hadn't been putting all he could
into most fights, he'd definitely not be able to hold back in this one. From
the looks of
Georg Pryme: things, he'd be able to craft something worthy of crafting with
this beast's bones and scales. His knuckles whitened as his grip shifted on
the hilt of his blade, flexing the wings(Winged Vest) as he prepared to take
on the fight
ardent idolatry: [DM] At the end of the "corridor" of crystal, there was a
path down, and a path up, each one was lined with gems, but the one up had an
ominous glow. The breathing Quinn could hear, came from the path down.
Georg Pryme: to any level it went. His mind was on one thing: putting the
beast down as quickly as he could.
psycharnum: there was always that rare chance for glory. "I've never seen a
real dragon." He muttered to the others, quietly. "Anything I should watch
out for? Aside from, of course, it's teeth, claws, tail, firey breath,
and.." His
lurkerinshade: Well that certainly was a sudden change that dragged his
attention once more towards the group and their progress. He blinked at Cordy
then the rest of them now that his gaze had been torn away from the crystals.
" This one doesn't
lurkerinshade: have fiery breath.. " Adalric mumbled that bit of wisdom. -d
psycharnum: commentary was cut off as soon as he realized this place had

edict unwritten: "Breathing is coming from below."He looked to the path that
went up and was curious if it led to ledge in the next room, but that theory
was quickly snuffed when Andron pointed out what it really was.
ardent idolatry: Cordelia was loathed to split them up, but Quinn was green
and the new guy was untested. She looked between them all and said: " Quinn,
Cannon fodder, I want you to go up and deal with the eggs. If anything comes
out of them, kill
ardent idolatry: them all dead, got it? We, will deal with the dragon.. "
psycharnum: "Should we try and capture any?"
ardent idolatry: " Do you know how to capture a dragon whelp? "
psycharnum: "...The eggs. Should they not all burst open. Otherwise, no,
not really. I can't imagine it would be too much trouble.."
Georg Pryme: He looked to Adalric then, he'd mentioned something about a
powder to weaken the beast. "I'll be able to hold its attention if I use
that powder you spoke of. Now's better than later in handing it over, I
suppose." He had

but if you die, I'm taking your cut of the treasures. "
psycharnum: "Fair enough."
edict unwritten: "Doubt telling it your it's daddy will work," he grinned
and gave Vixen a nod and began to head up. Though the man did have a point
about the ones that didn't hatch.
lurkerinshade: " The eggs are more viable, but training a dragon .. its not
easy. Its costly actually .. in the end you'd spend a fortune training just
one. " His bit of wisdom they could make of it what they would .. or sell the
eggs. Really he
lurkerinshade: was far more intent on dragonslaying .. and crystals for

Georg Pryme: something in mind for keeping its attention focused on him.
psycharnum: Andron followed Quinn, leaving the others to go fight a FREAKIN
DRAGON while they were stuck with egg duty. It was a little disheartening,
but those were the ropes when you were the new guy. "I don't know, I think
I'd make a good
psycharnum: Father to a young dragon in need.."
ardent idolatry: Cordelia wondered about the two of them as they head up
towards the eggs. Shaking her head, she looked between Georg and Adalric as
they exchanged things. " Let's get this over with. If I die, don't do
anything creepy to my
ardent idolatry: corpse.. "
edict unwritten: "What ya name it?" He was just making conversation while
the rest of them got to go play.

ardent idolatry: [DM] The MOMENT that Quinn started towards the eggs, the
dragon awoke.. and roared. The cavern started to rumble as it moved about in
the cavern below, and bellowed a roar of anger. It was a female dragon,
intent on propecting her

started to hatch..

echoing throughout the cavern. How thrilling! Until the eggs began to
hatch, which brought a heavy sigh. "Something tells me it's probably not
going to matter.."
ardent idolatry: [ Andron ]
ardent idolatry: [ I figured this would be easier for turns, just fyi! ]
psycharnum: Before the first whelp could fully free itself from it's shell,
he began to focus his will on the creature. Extending a hand, fingers
splayed out, kinetic force began to build around the whelpling. Closing into
a tight fist, he
psycharnum: tired to crush the thing before it could become too much of a
nuisance.

ardent idolatry: All three managed to get out of the wall before they were
hit by her tail but by the time they'd managed that, the dragon was gone..
somewhere, to lick her wounds. The cavern itself was covered in the indigo
crystals and gems like

liquid behind where the dragon had been.
ardent idolatry: Meanwhile..!
lurkerinshade: Rarely was there any good spot to be when attacking a dragon.
Adalric especially found himself in a less than brillant one when the tail
came sweeping in. How fortunate could he be with his nimble feet and quick
reflex to avoid the

chunk of stone free from above, which he directed down onto the dragonling's
head.

after the brutal clawing it had given his teammate. The stone he'd

edict unwritten: Quinn stood up slowly, rolling the damn Whelp off his body.
He had half the nerve to take it and make him a nice new pair of boots. He
checked over his wounds and made his way down stairs to check on the others.
"You alive?"
psycharnum: "Quite sorry about the.. uhh.." Andron, looking a bit sheepish,
would nod toward the slab of stone that was now covered in baby dragon
insides. "Do you think we should try and loot some of these eggs?.."
Georg Pryme: Georg had landed since the fight with the Momma Dragon had
ended, staying alert, knowing it had disappeared. He wasn't sure if it was
off in hiding on this plane still or not, a nod given Quinn's way as the

His question died off as he saw the wounds riddling the poor fellow. "We
need to get you some armor. I'll work on something for you."
psycharnum: "Either way, something should be done with them soon. If those
three were able to hatch on command, the rest probably aren't far off."
Andron took up the two bodies of the whelps that weren't crushed, for
alchemical components,

psycharnum: Assuming there were no more apparent dangers, he removed the
armor that had been lent to him earlier, folded it up, and returned it to
Georg. "Thanks for the loan. Do let me know if I can repay your kindness.."
Georg Pryme: "Well, I'm prepared to fight it again if it comes to it." As
his rage died down, however, and the adrenaline started to wear off, the
tolls of the combat were starting to catch up to him. He resheathed his
weapon before taking the

worry. If you need any equipment, let me know. I can get some weapons and
armor crafted for you." He went to go find a spot to lean on, tapping into
