The Undying Dragons - Campaign Thread

Solomona nods, then turns to Talis and suggests hopefully:

Two teams? Good idea. How about me, Vonth, Avaria, Ula and Hammerdasher go this way, and you, Soren, Maelgot, Sorvic, Kusphia, Trespin, and the kobolds and the drakes go that way.

((I think that'd take one HELL of a persuasion roll...))

AT THE LODGE:

((A Nat 20 might get you a friendly chuckle on that one))

Talis smiles at Solomona's blatant attempt to separate the locals from the visitors.

"I suspect that might mean if you find the one with the chest first that you might not return," Talis says. "That would put you, and us in grave danger. And would make it difficult for me to send you on your way to stop Godrick Hargrove."

She looks around and nods at the odd kobold about who appears to be doing some gardening, window cleaning and the like.

"They won't be coming. They have work to do here," Talis says before adding. "And someone needs to be here in case your friends decide to come back and look for you."

There's still no sign of Soren. He may be avoiding the group. Sleeping late. Already collected his payment and left. The party doesn't know.

"You three should go with Trepsin. He'll keep you safe in the woods," Talis says, indicating Hammerdasher, Ula and Geffroi.

"You four can come with us," she says to Vonth, Avaria, and Solomona.

The Major Domo Kobold comes back outside and says something quietly to Talis. A few moments later, the party sees the two perytons take flight, circle around the clearing twice before heading off.

Trepsin waves at the dwarves and Geffroi to follow. Hammerdasher looks to the three party members with a raised eyebrow.

"Seems like it's this or watch them hunt the others down."

IN THE WOODS:

The two harpies drop Marrin down on the forest floor. It's a bit of a rough landing as they almost have to fall through the trees to get past all the branches. But besides a few scrapes, Marrin finds herself on her own two feet more or less unharmed.

The harpies seem a bit puzzled by the threat Marrin leaves them with. Why would their new friend do that to them? But they take a few clothes offered and take flight.

Marrin waits several moments but doesn't see them again.

     Vonth grunts, noncommittal, and shifts his gaze to Avaria.

     He waits.

     It is her party, her decision to make.
