Rahkeshi looks nearly ready to head over to Sinver but halts as she sees him saying a prayer. She shakes her head, coming over near Elyria and speaking in a quiet voice to her. "Now the gnome with the strange words. Is everyone with M.E.T.A.L. like this with battle? Recriminations over killing an evil beast that tried to kill us? How do we not respect life? Death follows life - it is always so. How do we not respect life?" She seems a little annoyed at the implication she took from his comment.
When Aurelius returns, Rahkeshi greets him. "Ah, how fare the maidens of Drakeriver? That is, if any may still be called maidens after their time with you." She gives him a grin. "You are back awfully quickly though... Anyhow, to no surprise, the dragon has not been forthcoming on any secrets while you were away. But I do not disagree with you that this dragon may not be the source of the so-called air-ship attacks."
She just called you fast. She just insulted your performance. She just caLLED YOU FAST!
Sinver looks upon the corpse of the dragon and kneels down and says, "We might be justified in our actions but I do believe all life should be respected. I'll say a small prayer first before we continue to do what we need to do."
He prays to Segojan Earthcaller and asks that he guides the dragon's soul to its rightful place and Guidance on what to do next.
After spending a moment in prayer he gets up and lightly touches the dragon corpse and attempts to see if the armor is still pliable
(OOC: If it is still hot enough from Heat Metal would I be allowed to use my smith's tools to take it off? Or if we use fire to to heat it hot enough?)
Once the dragon fell into the water it cooled off to the point that you wouldn't be able to use the leftover heat from the spell.
"I agree with Rahkeshi. The white dragons are inherently evil, and to no surprise it attacked us without provocation. Let´s hope the giants who kept it as a pet come looking for us so that we can deal with them too Bryant." Elyria says confidently, looking down at the great white beast. "Thunder, Lightning make a sweep and see if there are any other threats above Drakeriver this night." She then says to the giant eagles beside her. Perception Thunder:10 Lightning:15
Thunder and Lightning report that the coast is clear for now, and that you all may rest easy tonight.
"I am ok, I could use a little healing, but I will survive." Lilianna twitches her nose and looks around the group slightly stunned. "That was really amazing everyone, wow, you are all proper field agents, I mean, I have never had to fight anything on a job before, it is usually unwise to be involved in any sort of altercation, but you were all impressive, wow..." She up in awe at the rest of the party.
After a short pause, she will take out a notebook and quill and begin investigating the dragon, taking Rahkeshi's hint at harvesting parts.
Investigation: 14
Nature: 17
You note that, while most bits are unusable, the Teeth and claws (which can make weapons), the scales (Armor), and some of the dragon's innards (spell components [any spell that deals with ice]) are harvestable and usable. These tasks are somewhat difficult, especially the innards and scales, without the proper expertise. Who would like to harvest what?
Although she is a seasoned hunter Elyria has no interest in harvesting any parts of the dragon. "The skies are safe for tonight. I will go back to the glen for a rest, it will be safe now Bryant, promise. I suggest we meet back here at dawn. Unless we can figure out where we can find this Stormraider keep we could still investigate Neadle´s peak tomorrow." Elyria says to the others, looking to Rahkeshi to perhaps join her when she is finished with the dragon.
“I would like to harvest some teeth to construct a new dagger, possibly the larger one could make somebody else a weapon. Can someone aid me in obtaining the innards?”
"The virtue of the maidens of Drakeriver remains unsullied; it is always best to leave your audience wanting more... the anticipation builds,"Aurelius replies with a wink.
"Pardon me for overhearing some of your former conversation, but I agree that the dragon was a worthy adversary and due some respect for its prowess, even though it misguidedly followed the path of evil. Therefore, I propose that after taking our trophies as is appropriate, we build a funeral pyre to send its remains to the afterlife. This is an ending fitting any great warrior, and shows honor, and perhaps will assuage some of the anger of its master." (OOCand the townspeople will thank us for not leaving a gigantic stinking, rotting corpse alongside their picturesque lake.)
Aurelius will then assist Lilliana to harvest teeth and claws, using the help action. He is secretly hoping to obtain a trophy worthy of gifting to his new patron, the fairy queen, upon whom he has a not insignificant crush.
He jauntily sings The Amorous Adventure of Nick Bottom while he works. It seems to have something to do with a donkey-headed man and a fey liason.
Rahkeshi gives Elyria a brief smile, "Of course I'll join you, as soon as we're done here."
She then does what she can to help Lilianna - perhaps borrowing a knife since she does not carry one. "Perhaps a tooth for me then I could find someone that might make a knife I would carry. And I can certainly help you with the innards, a bit of the dragon's blood I could figure out a use for also." She pulls out tools from her poisoner's kit to help with the extraction of internal parts.
(Medicine Check: 24 - for helping harvest a tooth. Medicine Check: 13 - for harvesting dragon blood + poisoner's kit proficiency? WIll also offer help where possible.)

(You successfully harvest the two longest, sharpest teeth and extract 6 vials of dragon blood
Aurelius will proceed to gather twigs and logs and stack them high around the dragon's remains. When everyone is done with their trophy-taking, he will start a bonfire large enough to completely engulf the corpse. He will ensure that the flames do not spread to nearby grass or trees, and remain with the fire until the body is completely consumed, restoking the wood as necessary. He will doze by the fire if needed to obtain a long rest. (OOC what time of day is it?)
Once the harvesting is complete, Rahkeshi looks a mess. Her clothes already soaked from the dragon hitting the water, they are now only worse for working through the remains of the creature.
After packing up the items harvested, she comes over to Elyria. "I think these clothes from the Queen's Court may be ruined." She sounds a little disappointed as she displays the thoroughly stained garments.
"I'm going to get a quick wash in the lake. Don't think we can make it back to the glade if we're off at daylight. Be right back!"
Pulling her old garments out, she leaves the rest of her things and rushes off to a mostly secluded spot along the shore.
She returns not long after, rushing back now wearing her former clothing. Her hair is still noticeably wet. And she carries the Feywild clothing balled up and dripping wet in one hand. "That was COLD!" she says enthusiastically
"Is anyone in need of recuperation? Or should we proceed to Neadle's Peak and begin investigations?"Lilianna looks around at the rest of the group.
"Also," she says more quietly approaching Sinver "do you think you could make a dagger or daggers out of these?" she holds out a handful of 9-12" long dragon teeth hopefully.
After a moment of hesitation Elyria shouts "Wait, I´m coming too." and sprints after Rahkeshi. At the secluded spot by the lake Elyria swiftly undresses and dives into the water. A moment later Rahkeshi can see her coming up again, now rididng a giant sea horse, and another one swims up to Rahkeshi. "This is Wavebreaker and Foamrunner, they are excellent underwater steeds if you would like to join me." Elyria says smiling widely at the half-orc. If Rahkeshi decides to join her she shows her the wonders of the sea, a safe distance from the drake.
"Oh, it´s fantastic to have someone to share this with."Elyria says when they get back to the beach. "You would imagine all elves would admire nature as much as I do but I never met anyone quite like you Rahkeshi. I hope me saying that won´t be a problem professionally." She says a bit more said at the end.
As they get back Elyria first has a hard time facing the others judging stares. "I don´t think there is any hurry to investigate Neadle´s peak. And we should perhaps try to get what information we can from the deputy about this Stormraider keep. I suggest we rest properly so that we are prepared when those raiders turn up." She says as Lilianna finishes.
Rahkeshi seemed a bit surprised at first when Elyria comes with her, but gladly welcomes her. As the elf disappears into the water she briefly cleans herself off, then is ready to head back to shore by the time she returns.
The giant seahorse fascinates her though. "Wow, of COURSE I'm joining you!" She rides the other sea horse - Foamrunner - following Elyria the whole time.
Back on the shore, Rahkeshi speaks excitedly. "I've never really had the chance to explore the water like that! The different fish, the plants!"
She listens to Elyria's comment about other elves. "You might be surprised what I thought of elves. I heard many lived in the forests, but even so they made stupid houses to live in! I figured an elf druid would have just read about nature from a book while sitting in some building!"
She continues on in a slightly more subdued tone. "Not that orcs are all that great... It was about gaining power, killing..." Her voice trails off a bit at the end, before she adds softly. "Yea, I really enjoy having someone to share this with too. I NEVER expected to actually meet an elf I liked! Of course it won't be a problem professionally! Why would it be?" Rahkeshi seems genuinely confused at this last part.
Acompanying Elyria back with the others, her hair still dripping wet, she seems invigorated. "Well! That bath should last me for months! I say we get a brief rest and get going." She then glances at Elyria."Though asking the Deputy about Stormraider Keep is probably a good idea."
Aurelius stands, yawning and stretching. "I am ready to proceed, however, I think it wise that the party be fully rested before we investigate the mountain. I suspect we might discover more of this mystery there.
"Pardon me Lilliana, might I reserve one of those teeth for myself?"
Overhearing Aurelius' question, Rahkehsi says, "I have two of the larger teeth Aurelius. You are welcome to one of those if Lilianna doesn't have one to spare."
Lilianna blushes slightly and hand one of the larger teeth to Aurelius, "This might make a good sword if Sinver agrees. What do you think Sinver, can you do it?"
Turning to Elyria and the rest of the party she says "Seeking out the deputy seems a wise course of action. Is it not somewhat odd that he did not come out to see the dragon with the rest of the citizens?"
Bryant stands up from his tree having finished the berries and feeling much better. "I agree lets head towards town and find the deputy. Maybe the mayor is sober this early in the morning and we can have a more useful conversation with him. I also need to replace my bow..."
He gathers himself and prepares to head off, "With regards to our next destination we should be prepared for the journey. It appears to be a day's travel we will need rations and supplies in case our stay is delayed.... This place is full of surprises" He says as his eyes glance over toward the dragons corpse.
