[QUOTE="Aholibamah, post: 3627940, member: 53031"] So...one of my pcs has acquired a very young blue dragon as a friend. This has not been unbalancing so far so I'm mostly wondering if the way I've been running her makes sense for a dragon. I'd just like some feedback on how I ran a particular event in the game. My players were going through a mountainous region along with some travelling companions and this dragon. I had rp'd her before liking one particular pc apart from her companion. The group came to a crevasse that would either require them to lose a few hours backtracking and circling around or which they could find some way of crossing. The dragon's companion politely asked if she would help him and the others across. she agreed to take him and the pc she liked across and then would consider it. Having done this she then sat down and said, "Now, what will you give me to bring the others over?" The pc she liked pointed out that she was already getting the biggest share of any treasure they got. The dragon half closed her eyes in a show of boredom. Then her companion calmly said, "It is of course up to you my Lady, but nevertheless we cannot go without the others. We will wait for your decision." The dragon sat watching them for a bit, and finally after half an hour or so said, "You won't move on unless they are here as well?" The pcs nodded. She went over and ferried the others across. I wanted to strike a balance between her friendship and her draconic nature--does this seem like a good example of that? On the one hand I don't want her to be a total pain in the butt but I don't want her to be a total pushover either, and I'm trying to take into account her age. [/QUOTE]
