[QUOTE="jayoungr, post: 7208964, member: 6702445"] Oops, I apologize for not responding sooner! I missed the original post somehow. Hope it's not too late. Have some XP as an apology. I don't think it's impossible to make it work. The easiest situation is not to make Elia "cheerful" about it. She's not unilaterally inviting the PCs to the dragon council; she's conveying with wishes of the council at large, wishes she may not entirely agree with. Maybe she invites the non-dwarf PCs cheerfully and accepts the dwarves through clenched teeth because she has to. As for Connerad Brawnanvil, you could have Elia pointedly snubbing him during the council meeting. You could throw in a mention during the dragon council of to how the dragons have asked the dwarves multiple times in the past for apologies and/or reparations in the past, and they've always refused; now the dragons want the PCs to convince the dwarves to give in to their requests. Depending on how the council goes, you could play it as if the dragons don't actually believe the PCs will succeed. [/QUOTE]
