Saving a dragon and loads of secrets~

by Marya Silverstring

And then the griffon group started moving
Nim gets loaded onto a somewhat annoyed griffon
They actually go deeper into the "constructed" part of the cavern
Some with huge 40-50ft. ceilings O.o
They seem to be tracking something
Probably our Bumblewyrm~
Anyway, I stick with them
Then there are some halls with really big pillars
Damn, was that some kind of dwarven city here? o.o'
Then the group gets to a portion of the wall that was broken open
 
Suddenly they go quiet
Injured women first, then griffon guy
They start talking about something
Hm...
They're in an open cave with high ceilings and a central column
And there they stop and lay Nim down on the ground
Though they almost catch me while doing so >.<
But just almost!
 
Well okay and then a fight breaks out
I knew that it was only a question of time until the rest of the group finds us!
And hell breaks loose with us in the fight
And yep, the Bumblewyrm is there as well
Also once again I had to kill a person and that one wasn't even trying to kill me! >.<
Definitely something I should bring up with the group sooner or later, killing people isn't my usual line of work
 
And Melech starts talking to the dragon
It goes a little back and forth
The dragon wants to know why those people came after it
Unfortunately we don't know them, or much about them
Though Sebastian said that they're people snatchers
And usually in the line of enforcer work
Kind of weird to have them here with that job
But we still have a hostage!
Also when we ask for the scale, the dragon is pretty underwhelmed reward-wise
But is nonetheless grateful
Also also the dragon is called Climbel O.O
Kind of ordinary for a dragon, I always imagined them to have fancier names
The dragon also doesn't know much about the whole place here
It is very familiar with it though o.o'
Climbel is a Topaz dragon and 214 years old
And the weird door the group found says something along like "Welcome to Diamrual, the city of gems"
 
The dragon also wants to tell us why it was with the circus
But it wants to make sure we don't tell anyone else
So it casts a spell oo'
Seb and Carson aren't too happy with that and leave
But Nim kind of boykotts it a little
And it doesn't want tell it's story because of it
It also says, that is once again learned, that it can't trust humanoids
It's pretty dismissive overall
Mostly because of Nim it seems
He's hellbent on his ritual
When Carson comes back, he apologizes to the dragon
 
Then it goes invisible with the egg to gather the scales
When he comes back, he has a couple of dozen scales with him (26)
We consider splitting them 4 each, 1 for Hildove, 1 for Korshad
Also yeah, gemstone dragons have been disappearing here for about 150 years or so O.o
Like really being taken away against their will
That's mental
I know about that one egg story
But that's a whole other deal!
Seems to have accelerated in the last 30 years, getting more and more mental over the years
Also the dragon doesn't know where the dragons are being taken to
Though we could maybe free one to show we're trustworthy?
Instead of just assuming we deserve the knowledge to end it's race
After some more talking, even Carson gives in to the zone of truth stuff
So we can start by interrogating the prisoner in it - maybe saves the trouble of making her talk?
