[QUOTE="Selm, post: 64008, member: 1592"] [b]Episode 2-2[/b] Episode TWO - Another Day in a Quiet Little Town - Part 2 (Alahija playing with her newfound little friend :p ) still Planting 16, 591CY Back into motion, Alahija is hidden behind the broken doorway of the moathouse. Suddenly, and before Diane could explain the plan to the others, she decides to enter the courtyard as it seems really empty and quiet. Now from another point of view ... Utreshimon was nearly sleeping, he was taking a sun bath in the Moathouse courtyard for three hours now and decided to refresh a little in his new lair. Finally life could be fun even outside the Lortmill Mountains think the young dragon. He finded this abandonned keep three days ago and discovered men inside. They are now trapped in the underground of the keep and try to go out from time to time. It's hard to sleep while waiting for those pathetic attacks, but it's really entertainning, and Utreshimon likes to play games. He killed some men two days ago and started to eat them. Hum, he has already finished the first in fact, his mother has always said him that he was eating too quickly. Now he's not so hungry and wait for fun. Then, while he's refreshing in the main room of his lair. Have I said that old castle ruins make great dragon lairs ? He suddenly sees a woman crossing his courtyard. Waooo, meat delivery service, thought the dragon ... his mother said him that when he will have a great treasure, food will be delivered directly in his lair from time to time, usually nearly enought to live without hunting, and so keeping time to study magic (this is why older dragons are wiser and better in magic, you know). So, as his mother said him, Utreshimon started to pack a tresure (not only because he likes gold pieces and shiny little jewels ... he likes them too that's right but anyway he has to do it, sad dragon life, they all have to do it, to eat ... adventurers ), but he was young and his treasure was'nt so impressive, he wasn't hopping to see tresure seekers so soon. Chance must be with him thought the dragon when going out of his lair. The little woman was too short and frail to be human, she must have some elven blood and elves aren't as tasty as humans but hopefully Utreshimon has food for now and he could play with this one. He advanced gracefully in the courtyard, jumping on the sand with the help of his wings. As he's still young his wings are really greater than his body and when running, he's nearly like flying one meter above ground. (Alahija then saw a huge blue dragon running at top speed right on her. :eek: Even if Utreshimon is not so big by dragons standards, his six meter body with the tail and great wings were really enought to frighten the young half-elf.) The first funny thing to do with a prey is to roast it and then see its frightened face. Utreshimon doesn't think twice and breath a deadly bolt of lightning right towards the intruder. He is really surprised when he sees the small creature jumping on the ground and rolling under the bolt, it was unusual, she wasn't even a little burnt ... strange thinks Utreshimon, if you couldn't have confidence in your breath what will be a dragon life. He should have aimed better, yes it has to be that, poor aim surely, perhaps he wasn't so lucky today actually. Anyway the prey will only last longer, which means more game ... and this is good for Utreshimon. (Alahija was mad, a dragon in this old moathouse, this was surely not expected. She is still asking herself how she could have escaped from the deadly lightning bolt while going back on her feet. That's when the dragon started to pound at her) Utreshimon is now trying to get his two claws on the human. If he could do it, it will be so great. Humans are always fun when they are trapped, some even pledge for mercy. And the dragon likes to see terror in the eyes of his prey. But this tiny little thing is evasive, it seems she doesn't even try to fight the dragon but only evade his attacks, it must be fear, she must be completely terrified thinks Utreshimon. This is great game today, happy dragon day ... --- When Gandigoot saw Alahija advance, he followed the plan and came to took her place at the door. Quickly he knew that something was not as planned, just when a crackling bolt of lightning passed five meters in front of him. He arrived at the door and saw the newfound pet of Alahija ... or was it the opposite ? The gnome fires a crossbow bolt into the dragon's shoulder. The bolt connects but dosen't seem to harm it much, even if it is enought for the dragon to give to this little fellow an eloquent gaze. Gandigoot isn't a fool, he nearly saw death one week ago fighting gnolls and two of his friends were slain during the attack. One must survive to get the corpses to the priest of Hommlet ... and isn't it better if the survivor is him ? He was once again on the drawbridge and saw water under him, he was faintly remembering of a potential danger but Gandigoot was more preoccuped by the dragon than by physical properties of water and lightning and decided to jump into the moat. Hopefully he can swim and he started to put as much distance as he could between him and the blue dragon. You need three gnomes to fight a gnoll on equal terms, Gandigoot never learned how much gnomes you need for a dragon, but he was sure that one is far from the count. And he is probably right ... --- Utreshimon is suddenly bitten by something on his shoulder, turning his head to investigate, he sees a bolt and a gnome. The human-elf wasn't alone, good ... two are better than one, it will be even more fun. But gnomes are bad, too small and not very tasty, poor dragon, not even a good fat human with a big belly, these ones *are* tasty. Well, stopping his dreams of food, the dragon tries to bite Alahija, if there was other treasure hunters, he could still have fun even if he finishes this small one. (Alahija desperatly tries to avoid the dragon attacks, she knows that her friends will run to help her as they must have seen the dragon now and Gandigoot surely fled to warn them. She only has to survive until their arrival and timely rescue.) After one more minute, the young dragon is already tired of his game. He grabs Alahija in one of his claw and pound her until she stops moving (humans are not smart enought to stop moving before beeing dead most of the time). He's now free to follow the small gnome who will surely lead him to the other treasure hunters. As his mother was teaching, humans are never alone, seek and kill the wizard and you will be safe. (Alahija:"And the timely rescue! Where is the timely rescue ? You do *know* that I'm dying right now ... do you ?") Utreshimon always follows the advices of his mother, as we will see next week :) For now he's tacking of, the body of Alahija bleeding in the courtyard ... Where is the rescue team ? ... soon ... ----------------------------------------------------------- Episode TWO - Another Day in a Quiet Little Town - Part 3 (Yes you're level 4 and after, this dragon was not SOOO big ...) :) [/QUOTE]
