[QUOTE="Gregor, post: 5776981, member: 11751"] [COLOR="Red"][I]"I stole it,"[/I][/COLOR] says Lowduke with a smirk, [COLOR="Red"][I]"an act that you and your friends are obviously no strangers to. The mother is well known in these parts and her lair easily found. Once located, her feeding and flight patterns were easy to monitor and record over the course of a week. This allowed for an easy decent into her hatchery and enough time to allow for the hauling of the egg to a safe distance, down wind, where I had stashed a horse and cart. Dragons are arrogant you see and none would expect that a lone human would attempt such a foolhardy task. But I am no fool. That is all you need to know about how I obtained the egg, for the remainder of the information is mundane and relates to my strategies for bivouac, tracking and stealth. These things are beyond you."[/I][/COLOR] Lowduke's surviving men are now beginning to awake in their bindings, looks of confusion and fear on their faces. [COLOR="red"][I]"You see how boring and clinical that tale sounds without the appropriate story telling methods? My greatest achievement told without celebration or remark. Rangers, hunters, bards and travelers of this world's great roads weep at the injustice."[/I][/COLOR] He scratches his chin on his shoulder while he collects his thoughts. [COLOR="red"][I]"My desire to join you is primarily because I wish to remain alive. I am no fool. To let me go unharmed would be risky to you because I know your faces and it would seem likely that I would seek revenge upon you. Yet why not let me offer my services to you as a guide and hunter until such time that I earn your trust? I believe that we share similar goals: to see the world, do battle and achieve greatness."[/I][/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"][I]"Now, I have told you all you need to know and my treasures are yours.
