[QUOTE="Nonei, post: 5105191, member: 88176"] [b]Session 2 cont[/b] [B][SIZE=3]The Rose Dragon[/SIZE][/B] "Well hello mortals, are you here to interfere with my agreement with the town?" "They did not ask us to help," responded Anett, "but we cannot allow you to take an innocent." "It is a perfectly fair agreement. This is what they agreed to many of your years ago." The party thought for a moment. "What can we do to convince you to release them from the contract?" The dragon surveyed them silently. Evol spoke up: "I am Evol, what is your name?" The dragon smiled "You can call me Rose." He laughed as the mortals had trouble holding back snickers. "That is a very... masculine name," remarked Menolly. As they spoke, the dragon mentioned that he might consider dropping the contract - if they found him a finely carved statue of something new, like a dryad. He already has 537 statues of boys and girls. "I'm afraid that's not an option," replied Anett "So... you carry them away and turn them to stone?" asked Evol. "Yes," came the reply. "Umm... how do you do that?" asked Menolly. With an evil smile, the dragon stretched a claw out to her. "I can demonstrate, if you like." Menolly declined. "I haven't had a chance to match wits with mortals in 1000 years," the Rose dragon said. "I'm eager to do it again, your minds are so.... intriguing." The party agreed that they could play a game of wits in exchange for the dragon's agreement that if they won, he would leave the town alone. But what equivalent could they offer in return, in case they lost? So the agreement was made: If the adventurers won the battle of wits, the contract would be dismissed and the dragon would leave the town alone. But if the dragon won, the party would serve him for a year and a day. They convinced the dragon to allow them to respond as a group, then used the feather of the owl, with the dragon's agreement, so that they could have an impartial judge. The rules were as follows: The first person starts with something natural that is relatively simple, the next person responds with something that defeats it. They go back and forth until one person is stumped. (Note: if I do this again, I would be sure to specify: it is defeat, not necessarily destroy, and also no repeating something that was already said.) The dragon gave an example, and then began. Dragon: I am the bramble, that scratches you Party: We are the fire, that eats the brambles D: I am the rain, that douses the fire P: We are the desert that soaks up the rain D: I am the wind that blows the sand off the desert [I]The party discusses various options briefly, then remember fairy tales told to them as children about the four winds trapped in a bottle[/I] P: We are the bottle that traps the wind D: I am the rock that smashes the bottle P: We are the ocean that turns the rock to sand D: I am the moon that pulls the ocean to its whim P: We are the earth that restrains the moon D: I am the dwarves, that pierce the earth with mines P: ... [I]-Dwarves are easy to defeat -Yes, but what should we choose? -I know! [/I]P: We are the[B] rose colored dragon[/B], that eats the dwarves D: I... I am Ishm's cat, who is the only one who knows the secret of defeating me P: We are time, which eventually defeats all D: ... The Rose colored dragon concedes defeat, and flies off in a huff. They untie the girl, and the rest of the village comes out and thanks them as well. The party makes sure to thank the owl as well even though they ended up not needing him.
