[QUOTE="megamania, post: 5734957, member: 9255"] THE WAYFINDERS OF THE FLOATING TOWER “THREATS REVEALED AND SUGGESTED” SEGMENT 015 11/19/11 BARRAKAS 25, 998 Early Afternoon (Unknown for sure to them) The group of five Wayfinders continue going deeper into the dungeon-like setting of Undersharn’s sewers. Rats, insects, centipedes and various types of mold is everywhere. The creatures skitter about looking for food and shelter. They sense, they know what is coming. The PCs have not figured it out. Not yet anyway. They come to another bridge made of stone. The water is beginning to splash onto the bridge walkway as the river of sewer water and collecting rain water continues to rise. When aiming their light source onto the water’s surface they once more see eyes like before. They are still in Gator Ally. Both Filo and Mage Blood stare at these crocs. These crocs seem different. Their eyes seem brighter and their scaly armored hide seems… metallic. Wary of them but otherwise unafraid of them, Lia fires two cross bolts into a crocodile which then sinks into the brown swirling water. Then silence. A very deep and somewhat hard to understand voice someone or something calls out to the group from above even as the Magus had begun to cross the bridge. Blaze, whom understands what is being said translate. It is draconic. =WHY DO YOU TRESSPASS ON MY BRIDGE? WHY DO YOU COME HERE? WHY DO YOU BRING THE HUNTERS HERE? = After hearing the translation, the Elven swashbuckler is quick to comment on his voice. Filo wonders if the group would cover for him if he pushed her into the water with the strange looking crocodiles. =WHY?!? WHY ENDANGER MY CHILDREN? WHY DO YOU COME HERE TO MY BRIDGE? = “Your children?!? What kind of freak are you messing with a crocodile?” Now most of the party is thinking just what Filo was. Blaze covers her mouth and replies in Draconic. “We mean no harm to you or the crocodiles here. We merely wish to cross.” The Magus calls back to the others- “Who are the hunters?” For the most part he is ignored as something large swoops through the edge of the light within the sewer cavern. “MUMPHHH?” [Translation from Lia- What was that?] Blaze’s heart skips a beat. He thinks he knows what that was. “Please show yourself.” Lia points her crossbow at a crocodile once more. Fire erupts out of the darkness. They are forced to leap out of the way. The large metallic creature then swoops low into the light and back to the darkness. “DRAGON!” calls out Jasyne. Indeed, the creature circles back and lands on the bridge. A young Brass Dragon. =YOU THREATEN MY CHILDREN! STOP! I KILL YOU= “WE MEAN NO HARM! We are merely scared by your presence and that of the creatures in the water that surround us.” answers Blaze bowing his head. The Magus listens to the dragon and watches its motions. So does Jasyne with his bow in hand. =YOU SHOT MY CHILDREN! YOU TRESSPASS MY BRDGE! YOU HAVE THE SMELL OF THE HUNTERS- = thrakt! Jasyne feels the Dragon is becoming irrational and means to attack. The whole time it was screaming at them the “children” were slowly coming closer. Two of his three magical arrows strike home. =ATTACK! EAT THE MEAT! = The unbalanced Dragon screams out. The whole scene is unsettling to Blaze whom wishes not to harm or even dishonor the dragon. He sees it is a type that normally lives above ground in much warmer and dryer climates than a sewer allows. He fears it has somehow rotted its brain and made it unreasonable. Jasyne kills the dragon with several more direct hits with his bow even as the crocodiles climb onto the bridge. Not wanting to be a part of this Blaze takes to the air as the others begin to attack the climbing ½ dragon crocs. Using bows, magic and melee weapons they cut into the creatures. One croc attempts to snag Blaze before he gets too high and does nip him on the leg but fails to pull him down. The Wayfinders make short work of the creatures. They search the body of the dragon hoping to find magical items or treasure but find nothing. Blaze gives a quiet prayer to the dragon and wonders if he belongs with this group that so quickly attacks and kills his distant kin. [/QUOTE]
