[QUOTE="Delgar, post: 1629110, member: 3195"] Hey guys, I was hoping that I could get some help on designing two different dragons personalities. As well as getting some help on Conveying the different personalities! Well, in the last session the party was assaulted by a large blue dragon. It swooped down from the sky and picked up their kobold companion and flew off. The party followed it to it's lair and this is where we stopped for the evening. Now, the blue dragon, was bought off by a drow priestess that wants information that the kobold has. My original intention was to have the players arrive, just as the priestess is leaving. She will have successfully extracted the information and have left the kobold with the dragon. She, won't stick around and fight she has WAY more important things to do, such as open a portal and allow Lloth to enter the prime material, but now I'm getting ahead of myself. The players will most likely enter the lair in an attempt to rescue their Kobold friend, where they will find him still alive, but pinned under one of the dragons claws (I really want to make it clear that if they do anything the dragon will kill the kobold). However, this dragon would really like players to do something for him. He would like them to steal an object from another dragons lair and bring it to him. He claims that the object was originally his, and was stolen by this other dragon. If the party is willing to do this for him, he will release the kobold unharmed. He will also state that attacking the other dragon would probably be foolish. Now what kind of object would a dragon want? What kind of personality would this dragon have? How can I protray that personality? Ok, as for the other dragon, whose lair they will probably end up investigating. My plan was to have him be red. He will have been terrorizing the local area into tithing to him and occasionally dropping off a sacrifice. When the players arrive they will get to witness such a transaction as several human males (wearing dragon masks) drop off bags of treasure at the front of his lair, as well as a bound and gagged human female. Now what kind of personality would this dragon have? How can I protray it? What kind of defenses would he have in his lair? Would have have some sort of creature guarding his treasure? I want my players to witness his personality and his power, I don't want them to try and take him on. Anyway, any help you can give me on this would be most appreciated!! Thanks in advance Delgar [/QUOTE]
