"We all know you want to bring your girlfriend so just ask her if she wants to come and see what she says. She's a dragon, it's not like we can really tell her what to do." Aryn says impatiently "Just make sure she doesn't end up killing us if things go south." Then turning to the druid, "Thank you Herbert. We'll see you soon" and Aryn will leave the grove and check with the mason and carpenter to make sure the updates are coming along swiftly.
"You can tag along if you want." Gaelin says to Jinara in draconic ignoring his sister and will head to Valeera's den.
Once there Gaelin would introduce Jinara then after a few minutes of conversation say, "Do you want to accompany us on a mission. If you can change shape into your human form you can fit through the tree portal. It may be a bit dangerous but you would be used to help avoid bloodshed as intimidation. If things went bad you can help but I'd prefer if you stay safe."
"Hello, Jinara." Valeera says looking over the tall sorcerer curiously, sniffing and cocking her head while she talks. She enjoys the light conversation and when the opportunity of her joining is brought up her eyes flare bright red with excitement. "Of course I will come. I'll make sure I'm careful. If you say run I'll fly out of range and return when you say it's safe. Where are we going? When are we going? Will there be treasure?" As she excitedly asks questions you fit the harness to her large body and adjust it to your liking.
He speaks to her in Draconic "Mighty Valeera. It is an honor and a pleasure." His face illustrates a look of interest, while his hand rubs underneath his jet black hair along the back of his neck. He recalls his studies on dragonkin in Davara's temple. "Have you had any interactions with other dragons before? I have an affinity for dragons and they hold a place in my heart."
“We’re going to a town called Thorpe, and leaving within the hour. I don’t know if there will be treasure but if we have to kill the goblins you can have my share of anything we get from them.” Gaelin will say as he tightens the straps. “now let’s head to the grove before we’re late. “
"Only with my family. My mother wouldn't let us venture too far in the desert with the war raging. I would love to meet more dragons when I can." Valeera says. "Goblins?" her eyes flare eve brighter and flames lick the outside of her mouth as she continues, "I hate goblins. Evil little thieves that want nothing more than to steal from others. They are the ones that stole my mother's treasures. I'd burn them all if I could."
Jinara- make an animal handling check with advantage
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(Better than being burned.)
Jinara's love for dragons gets the better of him and as they leave Valeera's den he gets a little too close and accidentally steps on her tail. She reflexively growls and flicks her tail out knocking Jinara over. You take 3 damage landing hard on your butt. Valeera, glares at you intently for a moment, her eyes piercing into your soul and discerns the action was not intentional but a simple error. Her tail wraps around behind you and lifts you up gently. She gives you a look of understanding but annoyance and continues her way to the grove.
As the group congregates back at the grove you see Herbert who approaches saying, "The owls are off in search of the dragon. If all goes well, they should return tomorrow morning with news. Are you prepared to leave?"
(It hasn't even been started. The blacksmithing requests will start once the upgrade to level 3 has finished in 6 days. Then it will take 14 days to complete, unless he wants to enchant the blades with lightning damage which will add 7 more days.)
Valeera turns into her human form. A tall slender female with red hair in a single braid that goes about halfway down her back with a red cloak that lays over a golden breastplate. Herbert nods and opens a portal on the tree. As you exit you see a nearby road and open fields that lead to a town surrounded by a wooden palisade. Valeera reverts back to her dragon form and follows closely behind Gaelin. As you approach the southern gate you notice movement along the towers and the gate opens as multiple goblins exit shortbows at the ready. A female elf walks out of the gate and directly behind her is a slightly taller and much more buff goblin holding a crossbow at her back.
You make your way closer and once you are within a hundred or so feet you hear a voice yell in common, "Stop! If you come any closer you'll have her blood on your hands. Who are you and where's the cart of supplies?!?"
Map: (Let me know if anyone wants to be somewhere different on the map. Can't move any closer north to the goblins though.)
(Can't let a nat 20 go to waste. I'll allow it, probably would've anyway but that pretty much sealed it. Also, you much be a witch. I've never seen someone roll that many 20's consistently.)
(Will be on later tonight hopefully. For sake of time we'll roll initiative in the event any attempts diplomacy falls through or if you just want to kill them, it's really up to your imagination. )

Zinmaer would nod at Herbert in gratitude and make his way to his hut to until it is time to go.
Jinara would chime in (speaking Draconic if anyone understand) "I haven't spoken to Valeera personally, so it would be nice to meet her."
"You can tag along if you want." Gaelin says to Jinara in draconic ignoring his sister and will head to Valeera's den.

(if that is bad, i want to try and persuade her that I am not bad/insincere. However that needs to be presented)
(Is that with advantage? You get advantage since Gaelin is there. Otherwise you might actually get singed lol)
that is not at advantage. Here is another roll

Jinara will cast Message to Zinmaer and say "Friend. It is time to go." A few minutes later, Zinmaer arrives at the grove. "We are ready"
(It hasn't even been started. The blacksmithing requests will start once the upgrade to level 3 has finished in 6 days. Then it will take 14 days to complete, unless he wants to enchant the blades with lightning damage which will add 7 more days.)
"Let's do this" Aryn says.
Valeera turns into her human form. A tall slender female with red hair in a single braid that goes about halfway down her back with a red cloak that lays over a golden breastplate.

Map: (Let me know if anyone wants to be somewhere different on the map. Can't move any closer north to the goblins though.)
Aryn would like to be behind Valeera, hidden if possible. If not, I'm fine where I am.
Stealth: 32

Roll initiative!
Goblin Boss: 16 Goblins: 15
(Sweet)
Initiative: 21
(Dangit Xtra you jinx'd me!)
