[QUOTE="Binks, post: 6692209, member: 6775039"] An idea pops in my head as I watch my companions began to navigate the maze of the spreading green mists that will soon be at my position on the periphery of the battlefield. The Wyvern is a natural beast, so I should be able to communicate with it, yes? Precisely. It is surely the apex predator in the general locale of the mountain's peak. That means two major instincts. The thing is territorial and, given its size, likes and needs to eat a whole lot. Before the nearest wolf can be turned into another mutate by the encroaching mist, I set arrow to bowstring. As I'm doing so, I address the circling Wyvern in its language...probably some screeches coupled with some roars or something. "This creature is going to claim your territory if we do not slay it. If you will aid us, I promise you a meal that will make you fat and happy. Starting with this wolf..." I release my arrow. [sblock]Volley (Dex) 4, 1 + 3 = 8 d8 damage. 4 - 0 armor = 4 damage. Dead. I'll choose danger as my complication. Parley (Cha) with the Wyvern. [B]Leverage[/B]: Its territory is at risk. I've promised to help it maintain its territory along with a healthy meal. 3, 3 + 1 = 7. They will do what you ask, but need some concrete assurance of your promise, right now.[/sblock] Alright. I don't need to feed a pack of sled-huskies so all of this dried meat is just taking up space in my pack. I quickly reach in my pack and grab 5 of the 11 remaining rations I have. That is a meal of meat for 5 folks. I figure that should sate the beast. I toss it on the ground before me so the beast comes down to claim it. Lucky and I climb aboard, straddling its neck where its back meets it. Lucky in my lap and trusty bow ready to go, I watch the green haze and the mutate bear down on us. "UP! LET US SLAY OUR MUTUAL ENEMY!" [/QUOTE]
