[LPF] Darkness Rising

[GlassEye]

"I do not, hurrr... caw" whispers Agno loudly to Tyrien. "But I may sometimes rustle. It cannot be helped, much like your, hurrr... hair becoming mussed in the wind. And his name is Keeling."

Seeming a bit self-conscious over disrupting the proceedings Agno turns back to Master Reinos. "I do not believe there is need to be concerned over this Why-verne. They are like smaller dragons, yes? And since dragons are only the size of a dog this other creature should not be so difficult to handle if it should find us.

I am more concerned about this tunnel but if it is, hurrr... necessary to take it to complete this ritual and bring an unbearable lightness to their beings then so be it. I also am holding worries about those who betrayed the monastery. Would they not know of this tunnel?"

[sblock=OOC]Oops? I guess Agno really shouldn't have any idea what a wyvern is. Since I've already started down this track I'd hate to backtrack but I'll edit if you think it necessary, HM. Otherwise, I'll just fill with disinformation.[/sblock]

"Agno, as amusing as the idea of a Dragon the size of a dog sounds, I think you are underestimating the size of a full grown Dragon... Fully Grown a Dragon can be as big as several buildings such as the one we are inside of right now, combined." Tonris says as he stands up and walks the full breadth of the room indicating at the windows space even outside of the building. Close at his heals is a small dog sized dinosaur that is yipping indignantly at being compared to the size of a Dragon. After his demonstration of the sheer enormity of a full grown Dragon, Tonris returns to his seat and says "It would take a Giant of proportions to big to even fit on this world to even be able to say a full grown dragon is the size of a dog comparatively speaking."

Larissa nods at her companions' concerns regarding the dangers of the wyvern and the tunnel, and then adds, "What of this sacred cavern of which you speak? Would the dark folk not have desecrated it?"

Tyrien, Half-elven Archeress

Tyrien looks surprised at the small dog-sized... lizard?... wingless dragon?... whatever it is. But, the words spoken by the man with the funny hair are not making much sense to her at the end.

She is genuinely curious as she asks, "So, Agno, you have actually fought and defeated a dragon and you say they are the size of a dog. Tonris is claiming they are as big as this estate. What do giants have to do with it?"

"Oh, what's that thing? It looks... well, ugly. Is it a dog without hair? Does it have a name?... Baldy?... Fido?... Spot?" She indicates the little creature, never having seen anything like it before.

But, the half-elven girl's mouth blathers on, "Keeling, interesting name. So how big was this wyvern, Master Reinos? Maybe we can lure it into the open and turn it into a pin cushion."

[GlassEye]

Agno nods his head and eagerly turns to Tyrien to describe his encounter with the dragon.

"Oh, yes. I killed it with others; hurrr... Boots, and my friend Iago, and Denizel. Oh, and Sylla. That dragon was small, like a dog, and very susceptible to being pinned with a cushion. If they grow larger I have not seen it but I shall, hurrr... accede to Master Tonris' greater knowledge as he appear to have wingless dragon of his own."

The tengu leans down to peer at Rex, sighs, and shakes his head sadly. "Poor thing. Hurrr! To have no wings when his brothers soar the skies."

[DalkonCledwin]

at the suggestion that Rex is a Dragon, Tonris giggles slightly and says "Um... no, Rex is no Dragon. Actually he is a distant cousin to yourself Sir Agno. Where as Dragons are more closely related to Felines if memory serves." In fact the tiny Rex does have what appear to be proto-feathers sprouting out from odd parts of his body. At the comment that he is actually related to Dragons, Rex gives the bigger bird-like creature an indignant squeak.

Tyrien, Half-elven Archeress

Tyrien looks incredulously at the outlandish statement by the man with funny hair.

"Seriously, dragons are like cats? No way. Though, I suppose they are both evil in appearance... Well, Kitty wasn't evil, his master was a bit of a to-... well, never mind that. Still, cats?!"

"Next think you will tell me, when a dragon belches fire it is really just because it is coughing up a hair ball. Come on, please stop teasing me."

She is not to sure about the tiny lizard being like a bird. Rex sure makes an ugly bird in her eyes.

[mfloyd3]

Larissa watches the byplay, wishing she had studied book-learning harder at the convent. She is torn between impatience with the distractions and curiousity about the bizarre lesson in supernatural history.

 

[HolyMan]

I am more concerned about this tunnel but if it is, hurrr... necessary to take it to complete this ritual and bring an unbearable lightness to their beings then so be it. I also am holding worries about those who betrayed the monastery. Would they not know of this tunnel?"

Master Renios nods at the tengu's words. "Good, very good. This is why I had Gergori and his father search for those that could help me make it through the tunnel. It is sure to be guarded and when stealth fails us we will need to be silent and deadly to those that try to stop us."

What of this sacred cavern of which you speak? Would the dark folk not have desecrated it?"

A grave look comes about the priests face. "Let us hope they have not entered that room. It is one of the reason we should not delay and start out as early as possible tomorrow. Everyday I fear does bring them closer to getting into that vault and thus ruining our chances."

So how big was this wyvern, Master Reinos? Maybe we can lure it into the open and turn it into a pin cushion."

"I'm sure you and these others will have no trouble in dealing with the beast should we need to. Perhaps they have taken it away or maybe we can sneak past without encountering it."

Reaching into his robes he pulls forth a slim wand tipped with a blue crystal. "To help I have purchased this wand of lesser restoration from the Mystic Pearl. Even if we are unlucky enough to encounter the beast, which is not overly large, but still bigger than any one of us, I believe we will prevail."

"Now to ask, formerly. Do you Agno of the Whisperer, Sister Larissa, Tonris Dragonfriend, and Tyrien the Curious. Do you all pledge to help me in my quest to vanquish the dark folk who have invaded the Stoneblade of Helerion?"

 

[GlassEye]

Agno nods enthusiastically.

"You have my services in this, hurr... task! I am ready to go straight to the sneaking and ritualizing."
