Friends and Siegebjörna are here to rescue you from this Citadel of Less Sun..." Siegebjörna carries her boulder, Knock-Rock ahead of her, gingerly tapping the walls for falsities and other "lying locked" doors, while also being ready to throw at any "new" skeletons.

She said with a strange ululation that appeared to be an approximation of a shrug. "Though we should definitely be ready for more traps."

Finding that it doesn't seem to have any traps but does have a lock, Adran fiddles with the lock using his tools for a moment before giving up. "The lock's beyond me." Perception 16 on the door. Nat 1 on the lock means I'm not going anywhere with it. Piell fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Jul 1, 2020 |

It is good thing we brought our own supply of drink, Broutrut. If this was locked, I doubt Merchantlings were able to find this room. They did not have clever Kenku-Friend with them." She says, winking to Perry. She thinks back to the door, then again out loud. Ryuujin posted:Sunless Citadel "Why would dragon-built temple... have a dragon-fish... swimming... with water keg?

Siegebjörna Siegebjörna takes a final look at the rusted keg before returning to the hallway. "Come friends, I have all the "Kegs" we need!" She slaps her bulbous thighs and struts out of the room. "Broutrut, to the next left!" Edit: Siegebjörna rallies the group to the door at the end of the hallway, readying her torch in one hand, and her boulder underneath her arm. Giving an excited head bob to the party, after Adran and Perry Reed find no traps, she inhales sharply and opens the door. OfChristandMen fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Jul 5, 2020 |

Sunless Citadel Tower Shell - Hallway Ignoring the keg for now the group moves to the door at the end of the hall, and after Adran and Perry check it out without finding anything wrong Broutrut moves up and opens the door. Dragon Cell Crudely executed symbols and glyphs, scribed in bright green dye, decorate this large and irregularly shaped crumbling chamber. A large pit in the center shows evidence of a recent fire. A metallic cage in the middle of the southern wall contains a gaping hole and stands empty. A small wooden bench draped with green cloth is next to the cage, and several small objects rest on it. A bedroll lies near the wooden bench, and the sound of whimpering comes from inside it.

Karl Martel The sound of whimpering galvanizes Karl into action, and he rushes forward through the doorway, announcing, "I am a priest of Tyr, and mean no harm to any who mean no harm to me—" He cuts off and comes to an abrupt, almost stumbling halt just inside the doorway as the light shining from the emblem on his shield illuminates a strange creature. "Hello there," he addresses it, warily keeping his shield between him and it. "Dare I hope you'll be interested in a peaceful conversation?" Persuasion to establish nonviolent contact: 7

Sunless Citadel Dragon Cell Siegebjörna begins investigating the room, but the mention of dragon-theft sets Meepo off once more. He sobs "The clan's dragon ... we lost it. The wretched goblins stole Calcryx, our dragon!" Meanwhile Siegebjörna continues around the room. Along the walls she finds symbols crudely drawn in Draconic. The metallic cage is all but destroyed and can't be used to restrain captives. Inside the cage Siegebjörna spots a few white scales. There is a bench that seems to be serving as an altar, resting on it are containers of green dye. a paintbrush made of goblin-hair bristles, and four tiny jade figurines of dragons (worth 15 gp each).

Sunless Citadel Dragon Cell "Meepo don't know, but maybe Yusdrayl does. Meepo take you to meet Yusdrayl, our leader, if you make nice. You get safe passage, if you promise to make nice. Maybe if you promise to rescue dragon, Yusdrayl make nice to you, answer questions." At the possibility that you could recover the dragon Meepo starts to perk up, he further crawls out of his bedroll and you can spot how scarred he is. His body is crisscrossed from scars that look like they may have come from claws or teeth.

Siegebjörna Ryuujin posted:Sunless Citadel Siegebjörna tinkers with the jade figurines, mock roaring and play fighting them against each other before turning to the destroyed cage. She takes on a serious demeanor and gingerly inspects the pearly dragon scales before pocketing them, along with the figurines. "Siegebjörna remembers that Citadel of Less Sun was made by dragon cultists. It is humorous that now there is dragon inside citadel. It is probably going to be difficult to put back in cage but... Siegebjörna would love to wrestle dragon into submission! What a thrilling challenge..." She looks Meepo over, covered in scars. "Meepo, you are dragon-tamer for Calcryx?" "Yes, perhaps we can talk with Yusdrayl about finding Calcryx-captured-by-Goblins."

Sunless Citadel Dragon Cell Meepo looks happy and begins to lead the group through the room, into the hallway and then into a hall. Periodically he stops and something out in Draconic. Hall of Dragons A double row of relief-carved marble columns march the length of this long, large hall. The worn carvings depict entwining dragons. A small number of kobold guards are stationed in this hall, watching you carefully but seemingly without any hostility as Meepo continues to give out the Draconic word. As you continue to follow Meepo they follow you. Dragon Throne A short throne stands near the west wall, constructed of fallen bits of masonry stacked against an old altar. On the top of the altar sit a variety of small items. The portion of the altar that serves as the throne's back features a carving of a rearing dragon. A metallic key is held firmly in the dragon's open jaws. Meepo does an awkward bow, "Mighty Yusdrayl Meepo brings adventurers to you. They want to return Calcryx for us." Then he turns to you. "Adventurers this is Yusdrayl leader of kobolds. Very smart!" Ryuujin fucked around with this message at 04:25 on Jul 7, 2020 |

Karl Martel "Greetings, Yusdrayl." Karl offers a shallow bow before continuing. "Meepo speaks truly; when we heard his tale of how the goblins attacked you and stole your precious Calcryx, we were filled with sorrow—but we are already on an important rescue mission of our own. We are looking for a group of four adventurers like us who entered here about a month ago: a ranger, a paladin, a fighter, and a wizard, and the fighter and wizard are brother and sister. If you can help us find them, then we would be happy to rescue Calcryx and return it to you."
