"Actually, Spark, I'll take that one." Necrar says, sitting next to Snipe. "I'm ready to listen whenever you are ready to talk. But Storm is right, we've got a dragon to face. Are you well enough to do this?"

**LoganAura** Fri Nov 08, 2013 9:54 pm

Snipe nods, following after them a little absent-mindedly.

"I've taken bigger risks," Aces says, stepping forwards.

**Paper Shadow** Sat Nov 09, 2013 8:09 pm

You travel further. Literally after the next turn and halfway down a slope, you see kobolds wearing red robes waiting for a mix of different weapons and protection at the bottom. When they see you, they begin to make noises. Soon, a loud, booming voice echo throughout the caves...

"WHO DARES TRESPASS IN MY LAIR?!"

Colter Bolt Sat Nov 09, 2013 9:16 pm

Alright, here we go. "A Spirit of Darkness with a few of his followers! I have come wishing to see the great dragon that I have been told was here! Necrar shouts back, voice returning to his naturally twisted one.

**LoganAura** Sat Nov 09, 2013 9:29 pm

Snipe stays silent, shaking his head for a moment and going a bit stoic-er, getting into the mindset of a guard for Necrar and thinking of the tips that Signal had given him.

**Paper Shadow** Sat Nov 09, 2013 9:33 pm

There is a moment of silence before the reply...

"I WAS TOLD THERE WAS PONIES IN MY CAVE!"

Colter Bolt Sat Nov 09, 2013 9:52 pm

"The only skeletal form available to me when I entered this world was that of a pegasus, and the only good followers I could find were ponies, unfortunately!

**Paper Shadow** Sun Nov 10, 2013 4:26 pm

Another silent moment...

"Well then Spirit, who are you here for?! You say you are here to see a great dragon, but which one?! Me, or my brother?!"

**LoganAura** Sun Nov 10, 2013 4:30 pm

BROTHER!? Oh dear sun there's two of them ?!

Fury of the Tempest Sun Nov 10, 2013 4:33 pm

'Actually its likely that one of them is the skull/spirit.' Storm Blade replied.

Colter Bolt Sun Nov 10, 2013 5:59 pm

"I was not aware there were two dragons! How about both?!"

Quietkal Sun Nov 10, 2013 8:22 pm

Undergrowth shrugs. He hadn't heard of a second dragon, but he's excited that another has graced their cave.

**Paper Shadow** Mon Nov 11, 2013 4:19 pm

"Fine!"

With that, the kobolds at the bottom begin to move away from the entrance to the dragon's cave, but they still watch you carefully...

Colter Bolt Mon Nov 11, 2013 8:37 pm

Necrar moves forward into the cave.

Fury of the Tempest Mon Nov 11, 2013 8:45 pm

'He's not exactly the most... eloquent of talkers, is he?' Storm Blade said as he followed Necar deeper into the cave. Not bothering to keep an eye on the robed kobolds around them. 'Fine doesn't exactly have the same ring of power as 'You may enter'. The dragon might be new at this'

Colter Bolt Mon Nov 11, 2013 8:46 pm

That's what I'm thinking, though his "brother" may be a different matter if it really is the skull.

AProcrastinatingWriter Tue Nov 12, 2013 1:01 am

Aces raised an eyebrow. The one over his patch. Something was fishy here, and he didn't think it was his usual paranoia talking...

Spoiler:

**Paper Shadow** Tue Nov 12, 2013 3:18 am

You enter the cave. It's a very traditional-looking dragon cave. Very big, very vast. Piles of gemstones and gold tower before you, shimmering and reflecting light from the torches around the cave. Aces High also spots a large number of trinkets and whatnot in the pile, but doesn't see any other oddities around. He also hears some shuffling coming from behind one of the piles...

"Catch!"

At that moment, something big is flung over the piles and heads towards the party. While the others haven't gotten a good enough look to what it is to identify it (although can tell that they will be able to catch it and not get crushed), Aces can tell that it's indeed a dragon skull, but very small in comparison, small enough to be caught anyway...

(If anyone wants to catch it, roll Athletics (or Arcana for telekinesis). You don't have to roll to get out of the way...)

Fury of the Tempest Tue Nov 12, 2013 7:15 am

'Assistance please' Storm Blade said coolly, even as he jumped up to snatch the item being thrown at them mid-air. At least that was his intention, depending on how the others did he might end up assisting them instead of the over way around.

Athletics:

tygerburningbright Tue Nov 12, 2013 8:30 am

"Leave this to me" Sparks thinks out as he leaps up to catch the skull.

Roll:

Quietkal Tue Nov 12, 2013 2:42 pm

Undergrowth moves to catch the skull, but immediately trips and falls to the ground.

Meta:

**Paper Shadow** Tue Nov 12, 2013 3:37 pm

In an amazing display, Sparks jumps on the tripping kobold, then onto a mid-air Storm, and leaps towards and catches the skull. He makes a couple of flips in the air before making a perfect landing, holding the skull in one hoof. The robed kobolds around instinctively celebrate an amazing catch, although briefly before returning to quietly watching you...

Fury of the Tempest Tue Nov 12, 2013 4:31 pm

'Oh come on, that was entire unnecessary.' Storm Blade protested as he landed on the ground, not happy to have been used as a stepping stone. 'Yeah it impressed the kobolds, but we could of caught it together instead of being used as stepping stone.'

**LoganAura** Tue Nov 12, 2013 4:43 pm

"Well technically you helped him!" Snipe grins widely at that, chuckling.
