[FR][PBP] Against the Storm Game Thread

[dead_radish]

Elone nods. "If you truly wish to help in the fight against Storm, your help would be appreciated."

"As for your wealth - is it substantial, is it not? With Storm in the world, is there not enough evil already? Solonor's Gaze sees all, but He cannot act if the world turns against him. Every evil act weighs against those of us trying to do good. Can you not stop your banditry?"

 

[DM_Matt]

Dragon to Elone

"A dragon can not have too much wealth and more than your kind can midwife too many trees, or Calain's kind can bully and extort too often(looks over angrily at Calain and his ball of lightning). That is what we are, what we do.

Later on in life we develop other sources of income, less risky ones....but do you have any idea how much magic and money a dragon must accumulate to take over a good lair, buikld defenses, esatablish minions, bribe officials in nearby towns, set the wheels of our wide-ranging plan in motion....?

It is quite large, I assure you. For now, I am a predator, as a dragon of my status naturally is."

 

[Fenrir]

Calain shakes his head.

"No deal, worm. You forget your life is at stake here. What lair will you then be able to secure but the one already reserved for you in hell?"

He moves the ball closer.

"Swear that you will not resort to such means again, and go north, or you will die."

 

[DM_Matt]

(The dragon delays momentarily, hoping that someone less harsh will step in)

 

[dead_radish]

Elone merely watches, as Calain seems to be doing fine.

 

[Fenrir]

Calain frowns.

"You have five seconds."

 

[DM_Matt]

"Better to die fighting and take a few of you with me than die starving or be recaptured and tortured to death by Storm's men. Its not like I rob the innocent. I prey on Underdark shipping lanes. No one here is innocent. I rob from pirates annd smugglers. Look at you, good as you claim to be, you ARE, from what I gather, saboteurs or something similar sneaking yourselves into an enemy city. "

 

[Elric]

Alex turns to Calain and says, rather loudly

"That's enough."

He then continues, softer:
"Your petty vengeance will get you nowhere. False bravado will not help us defeat Storm. Your constant thirst for revenge lacks common sense and reason. Control your passions before they doom you and the rest of us."

 

[Fenrir]

Calain growls, his eyes burning.

"And what is your solution? Let this vermin run free in exchange for a trinket? Your sheer irresponsibility disgusts me. This bastard tried to kill me, all of us. Unless he concedes, I intend to finish what he could not and send him back to where he belongs."

 

[reapersaurus]

Having been dazed, dunked, and forgetting what he was doing there, Ubaar has climbed back onto the boat (helping Akharos up, or vice-versa, I'm sure...) and is hanging out back-ship, greatsword on shoulder, listening to the Diplomacy being displayed.

OOC: oh - readied action to cast Tail of the Beast if the dragon gets aggresive, then charge into it with all Rages and Surges going to hack it to little bits.
