[QUOTE="Wrathamon, post: 6397820, member: 7989"] from Tiamat Tuesdays bold is mine What is interesting is that my DM did not make the town leader feel capable at all and he never gave us missions but situations arose and [B]we [/B]felt we had to do something about it because this guy was incompetent. Actually, one of the players thinks he is a cultist. The first part sounds like it is meant to give the players choices but limited on purpose. You are not heroes but participants caught up in the battle. I think the players should start in the town as part of the town as it gets attacked, after reading this. You are all in a house playing three dragon ante when "BOoOmm" you here a crack of thunder and fear washes over you ... unnatural fear. You run outside to see a Blue dragon swooping over head as it blasts lightning at the keep. You can hear the screams of the townsfolk and fighting going on in the distances. Smoke has started billowing from areas around town. The town is under siege! I didnt read much more for spoiler reasons Also, i think we forget that dragons talk, so my DM plays the dragon as a smart creature but he doesnt interact verbally. The suggestion that the dragon is bored, wow what an easy way to for the DM to help sell that this dragon isn't as scary as we might have first thought, since he doesnt seem all that into the battle. My DM did nothing to sell this to the players. [/QUOTE]
