[QUOTE="mythusmage, post: 2722594, member: 571"] [b]Different Dragons[/b] Now for a bit on dragon encounters out of the ordinary. Since green dragons have been appearing in this topic with some frequency this will start off with a green dragon encounter. The party is traveling through the woods. The party wizard [i]Fireballs[/i] a kobold gang. Which act starts a (fortunately short lived) fire. A mile later the party is accosted by an irate green dragon. A fairly typical green dragon where alignment is concerned, but a green dragon who is also a ranger. The dragon is going to wipe the floor with the party, but first he's going to tell them why he's putting them through a whole bunch of pain. Or the conflict might be economic or political. A red dragon is (secretly) backing a candidate for town council. Can the party discover this connection and/or insure the candidate's defeat. And what if the candidate actually is the best man for the job? Then you have good old competition. A dragon backs one tavern owner, the party winds up backing another. The conflict never breaks out into open combat, but still problems pop up the party must deal with. As well as opportunities to create proplems for the dragon's tavern owner. Let us not forget those occasions when the party ends up on the dragon's side. And it need not be with good dragons. Could well be with a good dragon of a normally evil type. Or even with an evil dragon against a greater evil. Red dragon: Yes, I oppress those who live in my territory. This thing leaves its territories a sterile waste. I might be persuaded to improve my behavior. This thing cannot change. :):):):) it, I'll buy a print-out from RPGNow. [/QUOTE]
