 Dalzranorth the Fierce, Dragon adventurer.... "...so there we are, top level of the keep, lightning flashing as the storm raged around us, and the mercenary says 'give up the crate and I'll let the rest of you monsters walk away with your lives!'" Dalzranorth said, stopping to drink from the rather large bowl of mead he had ordered when they arrived at the Yawning Portal. "Or at least, that's what they told me he said. I was still circling overhead in the storm, so I may have missed a detail or two. I'm sure Erdan or Feng can add anything I missed. I could see Bugsy on one side of the crate and Zemo was on the other. Someone said something I missed because of the clap of thunder, but the mercenary and his gang backed off. We waited until morning as agreed and the wizard came back for the box." Taking another drink a slight look of confusion crosses his face. "You know, I never did find out what was in the box. Hey Guzzler, do you know?" ... Dalzranorth is just excited to be back at the tavern, telling the tale of his first *real* adventure to anyone who will listen. Having left the gnome village that had been his home only two weeks ago he was thrilled to have already made some new friends. "Try the tavern," his adopted father had told him, "... all great adventurers start in a tavern." Zemo the paladin reminds him a lot of the captain of the village guard back home, always more concerned with protecting others. Feng Shen is always has an answer to a question, no matter how esoteric. Bugsy's creepy, but is an awesome sort of way. Erdan has a great story for almost any occasion. Guzzler is always happy to share a good drink. 8one6 fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Jun 4, 2017 |

"Soup sounds excellent! And perhaps a roast chicken or four." After a brief pause Dalzranorth adds "And maybe chicken for the others as well. So six chickens? That should... that should be enough, right? After the meal lets talk about our next adventure. Or a quest. Are we too new a group to quest?" [looking unsure] "Do we need a name to quest?"

Dalzranorth "Good morning everyone! Should we just hit the road? Do we need supplies? I travel light, but I'm new at this? My father mentioned that he never used to go anywhere without..." [Dalzranorth puts on a more serious tone] "... a shovel, a bag of marbles, and a ten foot pole." He grins again and shifts back to his normal tone" Anyway once the wainwright stopped yelling 'Sweet Helm a dragon!' I was able to rent a cart and horse for us. Well, for the royal us. I mean you all. I never learned how to ride a horse and the wagon's not that big."

Dalzranorth [Dalzranorth edges up to the edge and peers into the darkness below] "That's... pretty deep. It looks like I should be able to fly down." [He turns to the rest of the group, grinning widely, and speaks quickly and excitedly] "How do we want to do this? I could fly down to the bottom while the rest of you climb down the rope. You know, secure the basecamp. Or, would this be the base camp, because we're leaving the cart and animals here for now? Also, Guzzler and Zemo, how much do each of you weigh? Because I might be able to take you down with me." [He catches his breath] "Anyway, what do you all think?"

Dalzranorth "Uh... yeah... yes please. Just until we get to the bottom." [Dalzranorth pulls the straps on his carrying harness. It, and his rations, slump to the ground] "It's not that heavy, but I'm not quite robust enough to carry much more during flight." [Dalz picks up the harness and hands it to Bugsy] "Thank you."

Dalzranorth "Hold on Guzzler, I've only done this with gnomes before." [Dalzranorth makes sure his companion is secure, unfolds his wings to their full span, and steps off the side of the cliff face. It's more of a control glide down than actual flying as the goal is losing altitude gracefully instead of gaining it.]

Dalzranorth Lift. Maintain descent. No sharp turns, I don't have a harness to... Is Guzzler playing their flute? Canyon wall! Canyon wall! Remember 'graceful turns when you have a rider'. Ok. Not so... Bugsy!!!! [Once Dalzrannorth feels Guzzler vault from his back he lands and instincts take over. He lands hard, inhales, rears up, and unleashes the elemental fury that resides at the heart of all dragons] "Raaaahhhhhhhhhhrrrrrgggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!" [A line of acid washes over two of the giant rats.] 8one6 fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Jun 14, 2017 |

Dalzranorth [Dalzranorth bites into the rat that wounded him, tearing it apart.] "HI AHRAAN DII GRAH-ZEYMAHZIN!

"Two, there was potential loot down there on a goblin corpse." "Three, I know the day is young, but again, owwwww. Can we take a breather?"

That makes sense, right? Cult of the Dragon and all?" [Dalz cautiously moves up to the door, gives it a good look, and then tries to open it.] "Dang. It's locked. Does anyone know anything about locks?

Dalzranorth "'Here there be dragons' Well, that's true now anyway." [Dalzranorty turned back to the group to let them know what it the graffiti said and then noticed that the whimpering hadn't abated.] "Hello? Are you alright? Do you need help?" [When he received no response he tried again in Draconic, and then in Gnomish. Still no response. Dalzranorth pulled the blanket covering the crying form away, revealing a kobold.] "It's a kobold." [Dalz turned back to the group] "Does anyone know to get a kobold to stop crying?"

Dalzranorth [Dalz puffs up a bit] "I am Dalzranorth the fierce! Protector of Valcryn'trawin'merxim! My friends and I are the Yawning Portal Envoys Extraordinaire." [He listens to her speak about "The Outcast", sending a questioning look at Feng, but nods as she finishes her story. In a richer tone that's obviously modeled on someone important Dalz speaks] "If they went below we will need to follow. I promise you we will do all we can to return Calcryx to you." Dalzranorth is so completely out of his element right now. He's seen negotiations go bad, they're surrounded, and with their poor showing against the giant rats he's not sure they can win a fight. He's trying to do his best impressions of his adopted father and the leader of his village's militia.

Dalzranorth [Dalz inspects the relief on the western wall] "'Rebuke the dead, open the way' Hmmm... Anybody have any thoughts? I'm guessing it's a riddle." [In Draconic] "I rebuke the undead!" [in Draconic] "The Undead are awful!" [In Draconic] "The undead are dumb. And they smell like butts. And their butts are dumb. And their butts smell like butts." --[Transcribed from the roll20 session--  Bugsy"Are... you okay?" Dalzranorth"Just trying something."  Ryuujin (GM) : nothing happens, except Meepo, and anyone else who understands Draconic, looks at you funny8one6 (Dalzranorth): "Other than the air around the door being colder, nothing" Relentless (Crushclaw): "You're talking to a door." 8one6 (Dalzranorth): "And it refuses to answer. Find anything with the fountain?" Relentless (Crushclaw): "It's a little slimy." [Dalz examines the fountain] Ryuujin (GM): you notice a mostly worn-away inscription in Draconic on the basin's front. It reads, "Let there be fire." 8one6 (Dalzranorth): "'Let there be Fire'... Hey Guzzler, can I see your torch for a second? Hey crushclaw, can you try to apply the fire from the torch to the basin?" Relentless (Crushclaw): "Sure." Relentless (Crushclaw): i'll borrow Guzzler's torch and wave it around the fountain and poke at the scum with the torch. 8one6 (Dalzranorth): [In Draconic] "Let there be fire" Relentless (Crushclaw): "are you gonna make a habit of speaking draconic to inanimate objects in this place?" 8one6 (Dalzranorth): "Likely yes." Ryuujin (GM): Reddish liquid begins to well from the diving dragon's mouth, slowly accumulating in the basin. 8one6 (Dalzranorth): "Well, that's something. I'm not sure what, but it's something." Relentless (Crushclaw): "You've got creepy dragon powers. Grats" 8one6 (Dalzranorth): "Tasting it seems like a bad idea, right?" Relentless (Crushclaw): "Probably. Why don't we ask our ancient wisened mystic friend?" Relentless (Crushclaw): ...[dips his pinky claw in it, just a little bit.] Ryuujin (GM): it feels like hot sauce? You don't lose your pinky if that is what you are worried about 8one6 (Dalzranorth): "So it's not acid "and it smells like..." [sniffs deeply] "... My aunt's red pepper sauce? That's weird"" Relentless (Crushclaw): [tastes it.] Ryuujin (GM): you feel a little tiny bit of warmth go down, but your taste does not seem to be enough to get the full kick Relentless (Crushclaw): "It's hot sauce? But not like... the hottest sauce? Do dragons have a thing about hot sauce that I don't know about?' "I have not heard any legends of a secret dragon hot sauce fountain." 8one6 (Dalzranorth): "I enjoy hot sauce. I can only assume other dragons do as well" Ryuujin (GM): a little curl of smoke comes from one of your nostrils Relentless (Crushclaw): "I think i might have lit my insides on fire a little bit." Ryuujin (GM): but in a good way you give a little belch and a tiny flame shoots out and the warmth is gone 8one6 (Dalzranorth): [Stares in shock and awe.] [ O_O ] Relentless (Crushclaw): "Am I part dragon now?" 8one6 (Dalzranorth): "You still look like a bugbear" EDIT: Formatting 8one6 fucked around with this message at 07:34 on Jun 24, 2017 |

Dalzranorth [After helping Feng up to the slot and watching him jam the trap Dalzranorth, with confidence befitting a dragon, proceeded to check the various doors of the northern hallway. This would prove to be a mistake.] "I wonder what that squeaking noise?" passed through Dalzranorth's mind before the three giant rats crawled from the darkness and attacked.

Dalzranorth [Breathing heavily after the end of the the latest rat encounter] "That fight wasn't nearly as bad as the last few. I think we're getting better at this!" [Dalz grins and begins searching the nest area starting with the human body. After a half hour or so he's come up with 85 gp, 312 sp, a gold ring with the name Karakas engraved in common, and 3 gems (worth 25 gp each) not including the gear from the human's remains*.] "This isn't a bad haul. Right? It doesn't seem like a bad haul." [Dalzranorth's eyes light up a bit after counting it all out.] "We've got some gems and a gold ring, and a lot of coins!" [He looks up from the pile and a slightly embarrassed look crosses his face] "We should divide these up. That's fourteen gold and 52 silver each. I... I think someone else should hold onto the gems, the ring... and the extra gold piece until we get back to town. The rest of his stuff we can strap to my carrying harness for now. Guzzler there are three more torches for you." [After the treasure is handed out] "Who wants to carry the potion of healing? And what should we do with the human's body? Oh,..." [Looking at Meepo] "Do you want to do anything special with the Kobold body in here?" -- *Per roll20 discussion the human remains came with studded leather armor, five daggers, a longbow, a backpack (containing a water skin, one day's rations, a bedroll, a tinderbox, and three torches), a quiver with six arrows, a potion of healing, and a pouch that holds 17 gp. A gold ring (worth 10 gp) on Karakas's finger is engraved (in Common) with his name. The gp and the ring are included in the treasure above. 8one6 fucked around with this message at 11:24 on Jul 2, 2017 |

Dalzranorth After the protracted multi-room goblin fight and the near fatal wounding of Guzzler it was decided to take an extended break, a long rest if you will. Dalzranorth had the dream again: He was a great wyrm, a living manifestation of power and fury and majesty. His flight darkened the land beneath. He overlooked everything from atop a mountain of gold. [Dalzranorth awoke with a long, lazy yawn and tried to stretch out but met resistance a lot sooner than he expected.]* "Oh, um... Well this new." [He quickly checks to see if anyone else has doubled in size, as unlikely as that was] "Good... good morning everyone." --- *Per the Dragon player class at 2nd level up the dragon becomes large and gains a number of benefits. It's rather abrupt.

In Gnomish] "Friend gnome, though my party is somewhat unconventional, fear not for we are here to help you." [Dalz turns to the kobolds, puffs up a bit and in Draconic] "Kobolds! Fear not!

[He looks a bit embarrassed. he stands back up flexes a bit to loosen up, braces again, hooks his claws around the lock part of the cage door this time, and pulls the door free] "There we go, just needed a little bit of elbow grease." [After helping the gnome out of the cage he speaks in gnomish] "May I ask your name friend gnome? Also, we don't have much in the way of extra clothes or armor for you, but we can spear a scimitar, shield, or a bow and some arrows, or perhaps some daggers."

Dalzranorth "The way back to the surface is clear of goblins and the most dire of giant rats if you wish to get out of here." [Dalz looks to the rest of the party for a moment] "Or you felt safer in a group you could come with us. We are... not the most conventional band you'll meet, and we are headed deeper into the goblin lairs to retrieve some other adventurers... and to retrieve a kidnapped dragon from the goblins... and I guess investigate some weird apples. But anyway those seem like the two options you have. Also, you wouldn't happen to know a Talgen or a Sharwyn by any chance would you?"

We will continue in our quest." [With that, Dalz dues what he can to pull the door shut and tries to get back over the pit trap, with the expected result.]
