The Psionicle, Part XI

[Dalamar]

"I say we find out where the dragon's lair is, run in, grap the Gem, and run out as fast as we can."

Sorry about the whole accent thing...

Shardorn nods in agreement with Syld. "That sounds like the best idea. I don't know how difficult it may be to face a dragon, but it may be a little too much for us to handle."

 

[Dalamar]

"The bad thing is that dragons can fly and, from what I've heard, they're fast. We aren't going to be able escape it with the skyship if it realises what we've done."

 

[The Forsaken One]

Then a deception will have to do. We put the blame on someone else. Or we just talk with it... To the dragon I mean, not the gem.

"That could be dangerous." Shardorn says. "Maybe we should go see how big the dragon is before we decide what to do?"

 

[Dalamar]

"Though that would most likely mean the dragon sees us before we see it. But since there isn't really a good alternative, we could just as well do that."

 

[The Forsaken One]

We could just ask around about the dragon.. like if there is a real dragon to start with or something. Perhaps its just a legend or some other winged creature? But then we get to the old same point, do we arrouse suspicion when we start asking around and do we put our enemies on our trail again.

The innkeep perks up slightly at the mention of a dragon, though his face retains the appearance of one who is uninterested.

"Yar, there's rumor of a dragon." He says, taking a rag off of a nearby shelf and wiping down the bar. "A cave not far from here, deep inta th' ground an' ice. Some a th' crazier ones go down there, say they hear somethin' talkin' down there, an' say there's big spiders an' lizards an' whatnot. Some say it's th' dragon, and he keeps th' spiders around 'cause he eats 'em."

He shrugs. "'course, that's just rumor."

 

[Dalamar]

"Lovely," Syld remarks after hearing about spiders and lizards.
"Of course, that would present a way for us to sneak in without arousing too much suspicion."

 

[GnomeWorks]

"So do you think we should go in that way, then?" Shardorn asks.
