[QUOTE="Nightbreeze, post: 3986647, member: 46755"] That would [U]really [/U]help. I'm having trouble finding anything on pseudodragons :( It is always useful to have some facts that lead you to new ideas. I'll try to do something with Photoshop, but it will be an ugly mess. Will post the link to imageshack asap (probably tomorrow) It is quite big, actually. It seems to be a cave-house. At first it seems to be an natural cavern, then it turns and ends with several small tunnel. One of these (big enough for a crawling human to use it, but he would be really tight) leads to 4 chambers. One is where you were hatched, another one is filled with books (all of them pretty old and dusted and in bad condition). There is some furniture in the other two chambers, but nothing else. There are no clothes or other items that give any clue about who built the cavern. All rooms are 10x10x7.5 ft. and they are in line, descending. Whoever used it had to use a ladder to go from one room to another. Will try to make a sketch of it later. It's impossible to see it from ground, simply because the entrance of the cave faces the plains, but it's not vertical, and there's a slope behind it. So, the only way to see it is standing on a higher ground, at a specific position in the mountains behind. So far you have found 3 positions: one of them is a small hill with no trees, another two are some big (and visible) trees. The DCs for spot are respectively at least 30, 25 and 32. Climbing it would be rather difficult too, and no one with his wits would do it if he wasn't searching for something. However, if someone spots your cavern, with a little bit of time, and maybe some rope and help, and a DC 20 climb check, he should be able to get in in your lair. Sorry, no. The checks that you are able to muster aren't by any mean enough to decipher draconic (even if you get a +2 racial, houseruled). However, you understand some simple words, and with a little bit of help from some scholar, and a little bit of time, you should make great progresses. Keep in mind that draconic is one of the rarest languages in the world (in this campaign, it is the root of the language of magic, but nowdays it is really different). Furthermore, no one can say that he completely understand draconic: there are always some older and more obscure words and letters. You are already way higher than most of the scholars in this field, mainly because you have access to at least 10 books written in draconic. Even if they speak about a completely useless subject (like how to raise a chicken), they are worth at least 2000gp in total. It may be, but then how are should Oak and Tall, your closest treant friend, call you? "Little pesky too curious and excitable pest"? :) They would spend half an hour just to greet you :D [/QUOTE]
