[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7528115, member: 9255"] SHADOW WAR SEGMENT 024 “I AM VESPARTARRAX” 11/24/18 LHARVION 20, 1003 Though they are not compelled to flee- it is all any- including Dorque- can think of. But they understand that there is no where to run. There is only one exit for them and all it does is rise them higher to be chewed on instead of clawed. “What do you wish to plunder?” asks the 25 ft dragon. “Nah- nothing.” Stammers the cleric. “You came from that ship.” “Yeh- Yeah…Yes. Yes we did.” Tabask works on building his confidence. “Beware Mistress. The one is a magic user.” Says one of the silver lizardfolk. “Oh?” Vesper says. “It has a golem.” Everyone turns to Dorque. “No golem. Warforged.” Declares the fighter. “Metal, wood and stone. Golem.” Vesper seems to enjoy this discussion. “He controls you…yes?” as the one thought to be Min points to Tabask. “Free.” “Not chained.” “Free to do as I wish.” Declares the warforged. “-within the laws.” Interjects the cleric. The creature assumed to be named Min steps back…. Clearly wary of the answer. Vesper begins to ask questions now. “Who is your leader?” Xar looks to the ground and the warforged glares as ‘Min’. Tabask sighs quietly. “I speak for us.” “Not yourself. Who do you answer to?” “Ah- do you mean the Captain?” “Captain… as in the leader of the ship near the reef.” “Captain Lucious.” “He is your leader then.” “Well- he did bring us here.

It drops to the floor with a “tink” and begins to scurry quickly towards the green dragon. She lifts a claw to crush it but before doing so, Tabask grasps his unique medallion and calls on a spell. Fires reach out and kill the beetle. The blue scaled humanoids point their staffs and sword towards him. “Thankyou Tabask Andorin of Khorvaire. You have killed a Dragon Fear. You have my favor.” Xar gives them a look of disbelief. If he did that, he is certain the dragon and his people would have killed him on site. “You came from the ship. Where did the ship come from?” “Sharn” “The Dragon Fear spreads. Sad.” “Dragon Fear….. those beetles….?” “Come forth cleric.” Commands the dragon as its eyes change to a glowing blue color. “Your spiritual focus is unique. Tabask stiffens. He will die before / during a dragon removing it from him. It was my fathers. And my father’s father. It has been in the family for generation.
