Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ambrus" data-source="post: 2282066" data-attributes="member: 17691">Jacoby is rendered speechless at the sight of the silver dragon adorning the man's chest. Just as in that moment when Jacoby first picked up the fallen knight's spear does time seem to creep to a halt. Jacoby begins to shiver uncontrollably with the dawning realization that his dream wasn't just an idle fantasy but a true vision; a message meant specifically for him. Defeating the Jabberwock had been, in hindsight, pure dumb luck. The beast had been peppered with arrows, impaled on a knight's lance, repeatedly cut and stabbed and then had nearly bled to death before it had luckily charged and run itself through on my outstretched spear. My choosing to take up arms and become an errant knight could be dismissed as a foolish flight of fancy or a delusion of grandeur. Meeting a beggar after having dreamt of a chapel with the word "charity" inscribed upon its lintel could simply be counted as a merry coincidence. But to now see a silver dragon, THE silver dragon from my dream tattooed to that same beggars' chest is just too much to see and still harbour any doubts in my soul. Jacoby tries to stammer out some kind of reply but comes up with nothing. Where to start? The Jabberwock? The knight? The hunt? The dream?...Huh? What did he just say? Something about an order of silver dragons? He's, was some kind of knight, Like Sir Johann? Could they have known each other? Did they fight silver dragons or serve them?...Oh. He's still talking. Cadwynn's Pass? Oh right, I'd asked him about it; where I was going.He knows about dragons in the mountains? Did he serve in the king's army? Does his order hunt dragons? Am I meant to join the order too? Hunt dragons in the mountains? I... uh...See, he must have fought in the wars. He's no lumberjack. If not, how'd he loose his legs? Were they eaten by a dragon in the mountains? A silver dragon? He's someone sent by the Powers to teach me. To show me my path. He must be...What? Take me where? Oh. His house. Okay. Right.Once again, Jacoby's mind reels as he begins to feel the power of the divine manifesting itself directly in his life again in so short a time. He's reminded of the burning eyes of the Jabberwock fixing themselves upon him seeing into his very soul. Jacoby feels naked and overwhelmed.Finally, in the ensuing silence Jacoby, still staring into the dark doorway of the chapel falls to his knees and manages to stammer a few words: "Please... Sir Knight... tell me of Bahamut... the Circle... the Silver Dragon..."Jacoby will listen to every word Clelind offers him in rapt attention. As he gets more excited at learning the details of what the Powers expect of him he'll interrupt with all the unasked questions he's been holding back until now. Over the next few hours, Jacoby will in turn tell Cleling his own tale in an inelegant retelling starting with the Jabberwock and ending with his arrival in Cumberland. In his excitement he'll constantly interrupt himself to add in details he'd forgotten to mention earlier. He knows next to nothing about the silver star pennon he carries or that it's even Bahamut's own symbol, so he'll be particularly anxious to learn what he can of this odd dragon god and what he may want from Jacoby. One way or another, he'll probably spend the night in prayer in the small chapel.</blockquote>
