The Undying Dragons - Campaign Thread

Avaria sighs and sits down by Marrin, helping herself to some of the food.  She felt so confused, was Sol right?  Was the chest not worth fighting for?  They really didn't know what it was anyways.

"What assistance are you talking about to find our friend?" she side-eyes Vonth when she says friend.  Before he tried to storm off, she would have considered him one as well, but she seems to find herself wrong a lot lately.

"But yes, Marrin is right, we have no way to contact her and we have no idea where she might have run off to."  She thinks back to how secretive Jan could be, and wondered if any of that mattered now.  She looks down at the food she has been eating, realizing it is quite good and helps herself to some more.

AT THE PICNIC

"Yes, what did happen to Trepsin?" Talis asks as she pops a few grapes into her mouth. She nods at Marrin "He was supposed to retrieve you. He is a foul creature but has his uses. I hope you didn't do anything permanent to him."

She looks up at the taciturn Goliath and smiles.

"You're this Vonth Woundwatcher?" Talis enquires of Vonth. "Well that may depend on whether Severin the Red still holds his title as the Red Wyrmspeaker when this is all done. The Reds prefer the mountains. Perhaps if I became Talis the Red you could have all of the Sunrise Mountains to do what you wish with."

At that, MDK leans in, turning his back to Talis but facing Marrin, and whispers in draconic so quietly that only Marrin can make out what he says clearly "Severin Sirajin is the leader, the wearer of purple. She wants to use you to get rid of him."

There's quiet for a moment before Avaria speaks, and then there is quiet after as Talis finishes chewing.

"Well, if the one with the chest, Jan, can't be reasoned with or called back, then we will have to bring in riders to track and retrieve her. I had hoped to contain this to our small little group here. It would make things easier," Talis says. "But that doesn't seem to be happening now, does it."

She finishes her goblet of wine and sighs.

"You are certain you have no idea where she is headed or how to convince her to return?" Talis asks the group.

     "The Ogelellum already do as we wish across the Sunrise," Vonth informs Talis.  "No one from outside the tribe shall ever change that."

     As MDK leans in and gains Talis' ear, Vonth looks away.  He has no desire to try to listen in and has grown bored of this whole... picnic? Charade?  He tries to wait patiently but as the chatter goes on he becomes more and more convinced that this will inevitably end in bloodshed, as he expected from the get go.  Nobody seems to be able, or perhaps willing, to give up Jan and if that continues to be the case he expects Talis will have no real use for a group of people who obviously detest her.  He does not envision her just letting them leave...

     And so, believing a battle will break out, Vonth tries to relax and get as much rest in as he can before it does...  

(If this picnic powwow is long enough, Vonth would indeed like to short rest and use some hit dice to get some hp back...  But I'm also doubting it'll take an hour for this meeting to resolve itself so not really expecting to be able to.)
