Apr 13
We left off with a large dragon opening an eye at our intrusion...
Seb quickly calls out "Friends? Friends."
Dragon: What are you doing here?
Seb Apologize - tracking corespawn
Dragon: They were dealt with as you saw
Vera says they were also looking for 2 companions
Dragon: They've been sent to find compensation for the dragon's help. If they find it, they can leave. If not...
Lord AB starts to draw his sword. The dragon makes a compelling argument as to how that would not be advisable. AB stands down.
Vera does not know anything about Dragons in this area. It is concerningly absent of info in fact. They shouldn't be here...
In Draconic - Vera apologizes for the intrusion. Asks for the dragon's preferred name. Calzullan he/him
Vera offers up what the corespawn have been up to with the portals and such.
Calzullan : I know what they are doing. Their designs are grander than their abilities. I am not worried.
Vera in Draconic gives an overview of the state of things as she knows it in the world, expecting the dragon has not travelled much recently.
The info is found acceptable. Calzullan shares: The corespawn are wanting to take over the land. To have everyone serve the foul master they do. Most wouldn't be affected, and the dragon isn't concerned. Certainly bringing their master to this world is a fool's errand.
Vera in Common relays: bugs doing bug things - spread, consume (leaves out the master bit for now)
Seb negotiates for a private chat w/ the dragon and Calzullan agrees. Seb and Marya move deeper into the cave.
Lord AB seems to decide following isn't worth the risk.
---
As they move deeper, the cavern gets smaller and so does the wyvern. They shift to an Elven form. Coming to a room/end with a small table and a MASSIVE stone door.
"You and your secretive friend may sit."
Seb: Thank you. Lovely home you have here.
... What do you wish to offer that could not be given elsewhere?
Seb: Well, how to put this... You're not (glancing at Marya) the first of your kind we've met.
Calzullan: Do not lie to me, I will not fall victim to your foolish games...
Seb: Takes out a topaz scale. Dragon stops speaking.
Marya: Not a trophy, given as a gift!
Seb: No one else is privvy to this info. Esp Lord AB, I'd be concerned about talking to him.
I don't imagine this young one was found anywhere near this region.
Seb: Begs the question as to what you're doing here. Don't have to go into detail. Surprised to see you.
Calzullan: My being out here has to do with my persuit of research and knowledge of this area. Began about 1200 years ago. Focus shifted when Calamity ocurred. This post was left in a unique state. Been engrossed with its study since.
Calzullan: Neither of you are from this area of the world. Given the lack of encounters with my own kind, I know you didn't meet them around here. Judging by the scale, they are maybe 1000 years, likely less. Egg had to hatch during/since Calamity. Most likely on the Western side. Mountainous region.
Seb looks amused, but doesn't respond.
Calzullan: You said the relationship was friendly. This one's kind tends to be friendly to the shorter-lived folk. Very well then. Is there anything you wish of me in exchange? Or is this tribute / freely given.
Some back and forth on what to offer up between Seb and Marya. Decide to share:
Seb: For my own concern, what are your feelings towards the Topaz dragons?
Calzullan: They are amusing and childish, but a reminder of what once was. I have not encountered any but the unsavory that lurk this shore in many centuries.
Seb: We met this one as they were being poached. We stopped it.
Calzullan: Which fools believed themselves worthy for such a task?
Seb: It's complicated.
Calzullan: I'm familiar with mortal structures of power.
Some man called Sinclair. Orchestrating the poaching and theft. Live dragons and eggs.
Explains why we are all out here - leaving the Empire because of a string of bad luck. Dynasty took them in, and this outing is returining the favor.
Discussion on a magically binding pact being made. Dragon allows for discussion with the group.
They come out, and Marya yells out to gather the group "War Council!"
What specific wording is the binding.
What timeline would be expected.
What priority does it sit at over other things - ex preservation of self/close allies vs the task.
How do you feel about hunting the head of the Myriad?
Being offered help from a dragon on current mission. We get the eggs later.
