Dragonslayers: After the second dragon

[Super Girl]

Kylala just takes the offered and uses it for momentum in a front flip, landing lightly on her feet. "I'm okay, just a bit winded. Too bad we couldn't get him a bit more, one less dragon in the world would have been a worthy goal, and it still is." She grins, and looks towards the captain, "Do you think we have worked off our fare Captain?" she jokes, her eyes sparkling mischeviously.

The young thief heads back to wear she had seen the glass eye and does her best to re-locate it.

Makla: Ive hunted whales before, And I dont think that dragon can stay long under water. We have a three man rowboat...
The captain, who is badly hurt appears in the doorway, Crew! get the rowboat out of the hold.

Occ: Hond you are still stunned, but will be okay by the time the life boat is readied - Aphram could be roused by heal check or minor spell.

Grimhild Uggluck

Grim curses in orcish about not being able to climb up and attack the dragon before it flew away. He pauses for a moment, re-sheathes Venomtooth, closes his eyes and sticks his hands out infront of him, palms facing the ship and softly speaks a few words. Satisfied that all is well, he reaches up to the side of the ship and grasps the railing. Now that he is not rushed, he takes his time to find the proper foot/handholds and gives himself a mighty yank, pulling himself up the side of the ship (and in the process pulling *that* side of the ship down a bit closer to the water) and back upon the deck.

Upon hearing Lalreth's and Kylala's comments, Grim lets out a bit of a laugh and says "Hurr! Yuu's think I would leap off to my death? Sorry, but Grishnaak wants me in *this* world for a bit longer!" and smiles his big goofy grin. "Besides, I didn't see any fish that where worthy of being told about Grishnaak down there! he says with a wink to Lalreth.

Grim looks to the captain, "Well's, 'ah did the best I could ta protect yuu's ship captain. She's not on fire from it's breath, 'ah stopped it from putting more holes in 'er, and the hole she did put in her aint there no more. 'Ahm just sorry we's couldn't kill the beast and claim it's hide!" says the 12 foot fair-orc.

Grim hears talk of the rowboat being mentioned. "I'm all for finding the beast and finishing the job, but 'ah think it'd be moving ALOT faster underwater than we could move. Dragons be smart from what Fizzlewick told me, and we gave that one quite a good beating. It's probably running off to lick it's wuunds. Wee just hafta be prepared for if it tries to come back in a few days or so to try again. How much longer till we gets ta our destination captain?"

(OoC- Grim casts "Make Whole" on the hole the dragon busted in the ship, and then pulls himself back up on deck. He does NOT end any of his spells, and will let them just run out naturally... JUST incase.. hehe. I pretty much kept it to one round's worth of actions in this post, so if we are not running in rounds anymore, let me know, and Grim will tend to those that need healing.)

Velsouvous invokes Vixzu's power to heal Aphram (cure minor wounds, 1 pt.). Turning to the rest of the group, he says, We should take all opportunities to finish off the beast. It could go even worse for us if it returned after having time to plan and fully healed. Turning to the captain and Makla, Velsouvous continues, I hope "three man boat" is just a name, because otherwise we have a difficult choice before us, also how difficult is it to row a boat untrained?

Round 9?
Shouts from the echo up from the hold “Captain he healed the boat!”
Captain walks out on the deck next to Lareth, and he gestures at the shore visable off the side of the boat: that’s your island. This has certainly put me in your debt. Its 3-4 days to good drop off points. As for the row boat – Rowing is mostly strength – but you have to be coordinated, and practice helps. You could cram 5 if you don’t bounce around, with one of those rowing.

Kylala – you dig the glass eye out from behind the barrel – it is has something unpleasantly damp and sticky on the back. Grim begains climbing up (ooc finish as move action in rnd 10)

Aphram wakes up - his hands still clutching his bow.
from inside the apparently empty cabin, Is the beast gone then? I will not be chasing after it.

 

[Super Girl]

Kylala lifts up the glass eye and examines it, her sensitive finger tips tracing it. When the thief feels the tacky wetness, she lets out an "eww," and quickly brings it over to the Warlock and hands it to him. Giving him a smile, she starts to pepper him with questions about magic. She didn't know what she was doing, and here was a captive audience, they were all stuck on the boat anyway, and the subject really did fascinate her.

"So, how did you make that whole cloud thing? It was magic right? I bet your a really powerful wizard and you know a lot of spells. I know just a little bit of magic...thats what I used on the Dragon, my little acid splash, but its nothing like you can do I'd bet. Do you think you could teach me any more magic, or more about it? While we're travelling together." the girl asks rapid fire.

Hond looks around then says "So are we going after the beast or not?, if we are we should go now as soon I shall be weakened"

 

[azmodean]

If we have any chance of catching up to the beast, we need to take it as soon as that rowboat is ready. It will be a much more dangerous opponent if it has time to prepare, not to mention any allies it may have. I fear for our chances though, all it needs to do is get out of bowshot and fly away, we would never be able to catch it.

Grimhild Uggluck

Grim looks in the distance and sees the shore. He turns to the captain "So that there is our island we's be going too? An you say it's 3 or 4 more days till we get there? It duunt look that far to me.." says the fair orc sort of confused.

He looks to his companions and says "I don't think Glitterlizard is coming back. Fizzlewick told me they's smart lizards, and we gave that one a really good beating. We'd never catch up to it, and that little rowboat only holds 5.. we's 6 of us."

 

[Evilhalfling]

Captain gestures at the island visible of the side of the ship. Its rather large. I was going to sail east and drop you off about in 3 days – but it would still be a bit of a hike to Onuthod over some small mountains, We could turn and sail west around the island instead, It would take four days but bring you much closer. We would pass a ruined city and make landing north of it, only an hour or so from the town. The captain heads to the front of the boat and reloads, but is staring back at you.

The cabin is apparently empty, but when you hold out the eye Kel’leth fades slowly into view. He takes the eye away from you and turns his back slipping it beneath his veil.
“Slow down child, there are many roads to power. My power was received in exchange for sacrifice and devotion, much like Grimhild Uggluck’s, although he and I wield very different energies. I believe the atmospheric disturbance was his. I have heard rumors that people here can use dragons as sources of magical power, and
judging by your eyes, the rumor is true.
I can tell you about what magic is capable of, and make suggestions about what you should try, but not actually teach the wielding of it.



Ooc: waiting for a decision on the row boat, 1 for, 1 against, 2 uncommitted, 2 silent.
Kylala: Are you planning your next level in sorcerer? Leveling is ways off, but if you are headed that way the change will last.
