Quan looks at the creature, trying to figure out it's nature. That's not something you see every day, but perhaps since it is not of our world it doesn't eat things like us?

Braddock steps forward confidently.
"We be different, tha' be true. But we can work together. Ye surely be knowin' of the dragons of Icetop Mountains."
He looks back at his companions, "Tha' be in Northern Karrnath now."
Then turning again to address the drake, "Bout 2000 years ago, the dragons who inhabited the caverns of the Icetop Mountains were being burned out by goblins. It was the dwarves of the Mror Holds which stopped them."

Rikka growled softly as she surveyed the situation. Never one to speak up quickly, she began to pace along the edge of the clearing as she looked for any helpful clues.

Orsik whispers to the group trying not to be heard by the beast
"It was thrown back by the comment about the dragons, maybe now it's time to try a stick."
Insight Aid Another (1d20+12=32) - what a way to waste a 20
OOC: I believe we have +4 from Rikka and Orsik, if you feel confident you can beat DC 25, go ahead

Verhig takes another puff from the hookah and then shifts and slithers his body as he deftly descends the giant mushroom, gracefully for even one so large. He positions himself before the party, addressing Braddock first, then the others. ”Dragons of your world hold no interest for me. Otherwise, I hear no worthwhile answers forthcoming. Has my mere presence rendered you speechless? How so unlike brave adventurers. Is this a current trend for on the material plane?”
[sblock=Skill Challenge] *GOAL: You are trying to convince Verhig as to why he shouldn’t eat you.
*Complexity: 3 (8 successes before 3 failures)
Status: Successes: 1
Failures: 0
*DC: All DCs are listed below. All DCs for skills not listed are considered hard (DC 25).
*Skills: You can use a skill not listed below, only if you can explain it reasonably. Any explanation I feel doesn’t correspond with the given skill, I will impose a -2 penalty to it.
* Rules: The same rules apply for skill challenges as apply for encounters (48-hour rule, etc).
*Repeating the Same Skills: Any character repeating the same skill check in two successive rounds will impose a -2 cumulative penalty to the triggering roll (i.e. -2 for second check, -4 for third check, etc.)
*Critical Success: A natural 20 counts as 2 successes OR 1 success and remove 1 failure.
*Critical Failure: A Natural 1 automatically counts as 1 Failure, regardless of any modifiers.
*Aid Another: You can roll to aid another PC. Using the compendium rules, a roll of 10+1/2 the rolling PC’s level or higher grants a +2 to that player’s skill check, while a failure grants a -1 penalty to that player’s skill check. A successful aid another roll does not count towards the total number of successes.

[sblock=Nature (DC 25)]You are attuned to nature, but this creature is unlike anything in your experience. You draw upon your knowledge of the world and the creatures that reside on it in order to try to gain some advantage you can use to convince Verhig not to devour you.[/sblock]

"We're in the strange land, asked about things by a creature not of our world. Would you be forthcoming, Verhig?
But don't make a mistake of underestimating us, we just passed through the grove guardians unscatched.
Attack at your own peril!"
He tries to adjust his attitude as he speaks by judging behirs response, but is too caught up in his little speach to effectively do it.Insight aid another (1d20+12-2=17)
IF ALLOWED:Orsik moves forward (K16) and plants his standard (L15) holding it like a conqueror, challenge clear.
OOC: this requires full round of actions (move, minor to retrieve the banner and standard to plant, so not sure if this counts)
[MENTION=88601]FourMonos[/MENTION], you have +9 intimidate and +8 bonus (and I'll add +2 now)...do something terrible with that crazy vestige you've got

"Watch where ye put yer claws there big fella. Even if that story of our world doesn't convince ye, maybe the story of how The Firebelly clan, my clan, purged a dragon infested mountain of yer kin to stablish their mines might suit yer fancy. I have a couple of dragontooth back home, decorating the fireplace. I recall when we pee on their remains. Good times." the dwarf says, recalling a particular event in his clan story.

Braddock swings his craghammer in a slow, lazy circle. Purple eldritch energy is left in the wake of the hammers head.
"Not of our world, eh? Ye be thinkin' tha because you don't nest on our plane, ye be so much more enlightened?"
He holds the craghammer before him. In a sudden burst of purple hued imagery, a story unfolds. Demonic visages rip through the fabric of time and lay waste to a goblin kingdom. Different images flash of demons fighting elves, dwarves and man. Giants, dark skinned elves and snake beings rage against the onslaught. Then a glimmer of light sparks on the plane of anarchy. A single man joined with a spirit of pure good starts to absorb the demons' energy. Absorbing more and more, the man strains against the dark. But across the lands, the humanoids struggle against the demons shifts and they humanoids start to push back, to battle the demons and push them from the realm. Great portals are created which close the demons entry to the world. A single image of a man, driven insane by his battle against the dark energy of the world, laughing madly by himself.
"Worse things than you have happened. And we- elves, dwarves giants and man- have faced them down. Don't underestimate us, it will be your undoing!"
[sblock=intimidate 27] I'll use those assist rolls: 1d20+9+8 → [10,9,8] = (27) Roll Lookup [/sblock]
