[Adventure] The Cannith Caper (Judge: THB)

[renau1g]

As you all step foot into the room, as supple as a serpent, a dragon leaps on top of the forge. It has flesh made of wood strands, stone plates, and metal scales. Its teeth are like steel daggers, and its eyes flash with blue light. A hint of lightning dances on its steely scales. “Who enters my forge unbidden?” says the dragon in a voice that vibrates your core and seems to speak into your mind.

[sblock=ooc]
Dragon is in L,M 9,10, the altitude is 50', it also has cover from current position [/sblock]

Braddock lets out a low whistle, "...those Cannith bastards..."

He looks back and forth between his allies. Seeing everyone staring at the Cannith drake, Braddock feels obliged to break the silence.

He speaks loudly so he can be heard over the din, "So, ye be Calmachia, then?"

The great serpentine head turns towards Braddock and it speaks.

“I am Calmachia. I am the forge. The forge is me. But your question is more mundane than this profound truth. I am a construct with sentience beyond your comprehension.” it bellows

"But you asked who entered the forge... and we didn't enter you... are you the forge and a construct dragon? Or is this some king of symbiotic relation?" Deimos asks fascinated from behind his allies.

Mal surveys the scene, looking about the room to see what else might go unnoticed by the others. Afterwards, he locks his gaze on the Dragon and waits. It's apparent he's measuring the beast and trying to sort out how best to deal with the situation at hand.

His stance isn't agressive. If anything, it's wary. He isn't looking to fight a dragon.

[sblock=actions]
Minor: already perceptioned. Just looking for the obvious that might have become visible since we moved forward
Move: none
Standard: Readied action: Direct the Strike, Tock vs. Calmachia
Trigger: Calmachia attacks a party member

Readied actions are Interrupts so I think Tock would get his SA damage on that, neh?[/sblock]
[sblock=r1]How high was the ceiling in the previous room?[/sblock]
[sblock=Walking Dad] @Walking-Dad I think you'd wanted to change something on your sheet, correct? You may want to start on that, R1 willing, before combat ensues. If combat ensues.[/sblock]

"But you asked who entered the forge... and we didn't enter you... are you the forge and a construct dragon? Or is this some king of symbiotic relation?" Deimos asks fascinated from behind his allies.

"I have control of the forge, it's power is mine, therefore I am the forge" it replies, eyes gleaming red.

In the last room, the ceiling is 20' above the catwalk, and the floor is 30' below [/sblock]

Where are they, creature? Where did you take the others? The dead one took them to you? What have you done with them?

 

[renau1g]

"Oh, those creatures are with you? They're around, but I recommend you leave or else you can join them. They are proving useful for testing, your kind display an amazing capacity to withstand pain before succumbing. It is truly remarkable." it states emotionlessly.

Haltor gripped his sharash, but resisted rising to the bait. If such a thing could. And the ghost? What use do you have for the dead, thing of magic and steel? The halfling shift slightly on the saddle with a glance at Deimos and Braddock and then the arcane machinery.
