Dragonslayers: After the second dragon

[azmodean]

Thank you, o mighty one, for your generosity. I would comply with your wishes, but I do not know what you mean by foul practitioner.

OOC: If Velsouvous thinks he can do it without alerting the dragon, he indicates to Kel'leth the position of the dragon, if not, he tries to capture the dragon's attention while he is talking so someone else can do so (aid other?). Also, does Velsouvous know what the dragon is talking about? Regardless he will play dumb.

Grim thinks hard for a moment, but honestly does not know what the dragon thinks of when he talks of the "foul practitioner". However, hearing the words "give me the dead body of", he can figure out that the dragon wishes for them to kill someone that is aboard the ship, and he certainly doesn't like that idea- nobody on board has given him a reason to kill them.

"Well," Grim calls out to the dragon, "I dun know who or what you speak of when you say "the practitioner", big flying lizard, but I do hear that you be feelin' generous. Maybe we works at somethin' that good for both of uus. We got's business that we need to be attending to, when we's duun doing that, we can bring you back something for allowing us too pass thruu yer teritory. Or maybe you be needing done something too and we can doo that fer ya. Hell's, I dunno, but I don't like the sound of handing you a dead body from dis ship, cuz even though I dun know them that well, they's been nice folks to me, and I aint see any of 'dem do something mean to you. Surely you be needing something done that you don't want to do, and we's could doo for ya instead. You'd be hard pressed to be finding someone stronger than meself workin for's ya!"

(OoC- Grim is still holding his readied action, WindWall incase the dragon swoops in and breathes. As for his conversation, he's not trying to do anything game-mechanics wise, just good 'ol roleplaying conversation, he really would like to just make a deal with the dragon and do a task for it instead. )

Hond (barbarian)

The muscles in Hond's arms tighten and the hand that's not on the crossbows trigger clenchs into a fist as the dragon begins making demands, Hond is obviously trying to keep from saying something and from the look on his face the thing he wants to say isn't very nice and would probably greatly anger the dragon.

 

[Ferrix]

Hissing in his breath to Ke'leth, Aphram informs him of the direction and distance of the dragon, his dislike of parlaying with these creatures is obvious.

 

[Evilhalfling]

You Cannot Smell Him Standing Beside You, Reeking of Dark Magics? the dragon turns from Velsouvous to Grim – and appears to ponder his words.
No, Nothing I Would Trust Humans Or You Others With….Unless You Have A Druid? No? Since You Clearly Are Not Prepared To Give Me The Body Of The Veiled One …

Surely you would not turn me over to such a beast! I have done nothing that deserves such punishment. He drops the bow and spreads is hands -

With a clap of his wings the dragon dives forward moving instantly from still to flashing forward at the speed of an arrow. A wave of fear his you all. Hond shrinks back slightly as the memories of his tribe’s dragon come to the fore how could he even think of attacking such an overwhelming power. Everyone else shrugs it off through internal strength or determination. You have a second or two to try one last gambit … or begin firing.

The dragon appears to be on a path just slightly to the right of the boat
OCC: Initiatives: Velsouvous 21, Aprham 19, Kel'leth 16 Kylala 14, Grim 13, Crew 12, Dragon 10, Hond 7
DC 18 Will saves (total) Velsouvous 19, Aprham 20(roll)+ ?, Kel’leth 24, Kylala 21, Grim 25, Cpt 19, Makla 25, Hond 11 (hond is shaken)
Acting on initiative order, the Dragon will have finished his move before Hond recovers himself enough to react.

 

[Super Girl]

Kylala mutters something unladylike under her breath, not that she was lady like under the best of circumstances. The human girl moves closer to where the dragon looks to be heading, and keeps humming softly with the accompanying finger wiggling, getting ready to utter the last word of her only real attacking spell, it was not really powerful, but with luck, acid in the eyes is not fun.

OOC: Move Action to head toward where the dragon looks to be heading, and holding her Acid orb Spell till it is within range

(called shot)[ Attack 7 + 1D20(1D3 damage)]

 

[azmodean]

Velsouvous steps foward and readies to attack (with a partial charge if necessary) using his stunning fist technique.

(attack is +10, +12 if charging. Deals 1d6+5 damage. Stunning fist is DC 16 fort. Attack counts as a magic weapon.)

Grimhild Uggluck

Grim puffs out his chest as he draws a Javelin and continues to be prepared for if the dragon breathes on them, making sure to take note of it's movements. It would seem that all sort of communication with this beast will fail, and it is intent on attacking them. bah, guess we's doo tha best we can. Stupid ship. I's told them I no wanted to travel by ship! Grim thinks to himself.



(OoC- Can Grim make some sort of check [intelligence check? lol!] to see if he can figure out who the dragon is speaking off since he said "dark magics" and "veiled one"..?)

(OoC- also, I would have grim try to say one last thing, but by the time he technically would be doing it, Kylala's action would have already happened, and at that point, I think all conversation is done.. lol! Grim stands where he is and draws a javelin, and readies to cast WindWall as described if the dragon uses it's breath weapon. Also, Grim would like to take note of how close the dragon comes to the ship when it swoops in, mainly, he's looking to see if it is swooping close enough for him to attack it with his Greatsword as it swoops in. Also, he'd like to take note of where it flies out to over the ocean, and how close to the water. Grim has a few plans he's thinking of, and would like to see which, if any, would be viable. One, he could Enlarge himself, and that would give a bit of extra reach if it's swooping that close to the ship, and two, he could cast WaterWalk and head out on the water to attack it from there if it is staying low to the water.)

Aphram - Human Ranger 5/Dragonstalker 1 (ac21, hp44/44)

Trying to keep Ke'leth informed, Aphram will stick near the veiled one, his bowstring taunt, the arrow quivering in anticipation to leap at the winged one. He aims and lets the arrows fly, "a dead dragon is the only good dragon," he mutters.

OOC: Full round attack w/ rapid shot: +13/+13/+8 (1d8+7), bow is magic.

 

[Mithran]

Hond (barbarian)

Hond will fire both of the crossbows at the dragon and move around to the side of the barrel away from the dragon.

OOC: Did the fear thing negate my readied action?
