Alright guys Az Emberi needs this dragon gone i'm not particularity caring whether it lives or dies but regardless it needs to leave so based on how they almost turned on Dirk especially because he was far more curious and diplomatic than i have ever seen (that's not meant to be an insult i just don't know Dirk) and also keep in mind Dragons can be stubborn and not want to leave one thing is clear we can't have these people team up with the dragon against us so i'm open to suggestions but here are two viable option
1. we tell these guys that there is a huge plan to kill the dragon and we are here to warn the dragon that it has to escape and if they fight us then at least we can take them out before we get to the dragon.
2. we take them by surprise kill them because they may never stop until they help the dragon cleanse this area then we show the heads to the dragon saying that it is in danger.
i'm okay with whatever plan except i do not want to tell the dragon to leave once we get there and have it and these guys all attack us.
Krodmad chimes in helpfully, "I'm happy to help kill, maim, steal, make peace with anything, just as long as I get one of those nifty masks those weirdos were wearing."
"May I suggest. We incapacitate them. We should in no circumstane rake them with us to the dragon but they've done nothing wirth losing their lives. We beat them tie them up and take thier vert fine masks and robes. Determine what to so with the dragon and move on."
With his thumb to his left Fjolnir gestures at Krodmad, "I'm with this guy." he pauses, "Why don't we see if we can bullshit our way through first- seems like a few of us speak Draconic- maybe we convince them to take up Cragmaw after we clear it out? If reason fails, we peel the masks off their faces, whether the meat comes with it or not. If that comes to pass we can flank the building, or set up out here and set up firing positions at the front door as a choke."
Alright, well so far i think it's clear we try and convince them that the dragon needs to leave we all seem on bored with that, i would like to state that if we knock them out and then kill the dragon or get rid of the dragon they will hate us forever and i won't look over my shoulder for the rest of my life but if they are no threat then i see no need to kill.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Do we even have the necessary items to bind all of them? I move only as close as I have to, and start singing a sleepy song at the cultists. Cast at level 2. 22 initiative.
I'm gonna make love to you, woman, Gonna lay you down by the fire! And caress your womanly body, Make ya moan and perspire. Gonna get those juices flowin' We makin' love baby, love baby, love baby, love, love, love, baby! 34
Fjolnir chimes in to respond to Dirk, "Ingratiate, manipulate, or decapitate and exsanguinate..." he sucks air through is teeth to clear food... "Either way, they're standing between us and Gundren at the moment."
Making the decision, Dirk sings a sexy lullaby at the building, and a sleepy vibe waves through the interior. You can't see what's going on inside, but you do hear two separate voices yelling, "What are you doing?" and "Wake up, lay ass!" One of them was Favric's. The doors and shutters are still closed, and you are here:
There's some movement inside but no one comes out yet.
Order: Dirk Dragon people Fjolnir Az Emberi Absinthe Hymir Krodmad
Fjolnir feigns ignorance, walks to the opening at the east of the ruined building they were talking in, and backs just around the corner out of the windows' view, but giving himself line-of-sight on the door. He loads the crossbow to ready a reaction to hostilities at their front door, and yells to the inside, "Oi, ya awright in there? What happened?!" deception 19
Absinthe walks forward up to the building, and stands in the corner in a defensive stance ready for whatever happens. I will charge and grapple the first thing that comes out the door.
Krodmad posts up next to the tree in this ruin, just to the side of the wall's opening with a clear view to the intact building's front door. Thumbing the bit of fleece he keeps wrapped around the underside of his ring for such purposes, he creates a Minor Illusion of the sound of a dragon's roar, as loud as it would be if it were coming from the other side of the village.
"What HAPPENED is someone tried to magically put us all asleep! If that was you I suggest you leave. We aren't looking for a fight. If it wasn't you, then something else is here, and we might need your help!"
There is more sound of rumbling around and a slap, but no one exits the building. When they hear the dragon roar there is a collective gasp, then silence. Favric speaks, "The dragon might be on the move, we should go soon. Are you with us, or against us?"

I need a consensus here then. Manipulate, capitulate or incapacitate?
