Dungeon of the Mad Mage (#9 PbP)

Alright, i'll bite.

Step one: Capture. That has, more or less, been done by showing it who's boss. For now.

Step two: Taming.

Rule#1: Three times a day (in real time) you must make a DC12 Animal Handling roll. You must succeed on *TEN* rolls total to tame this beast. If you do, the beast is loyal to YOU, and to YOU ONLY. Nat20's count as two successes. 

Rule#2: IF any of those rolls fail, that's fine, nothing bad happens, but if you get *FIVE* failed rolls, you fail completely. If you get a nat1, he does something terrible, like bite your hand off.

Rule#3: You must remain here, OR AWAY from the group AT ALL TIME WHILE TAMING THIS CREATURE. This will require quiet time, bonding time, and no one else around for three days.

Step three: Training

Then, and only then, if you succeed, we'll talk about teaching it commands. 

Shit yeah.

Okay, Ra’iik gets his rope out from his bag, (or some chain if he manages to,find it laying around) and ties it around all three necks of the beast. “Now everyone, I know we got off to a bad start, but Arnold here is gonna be great, just you see. He’s a lil’ lost at the moment, that’s all...” he says, gingerly rubbing under the lion’s chin, pulling away quickly as it nips at him. “I promise he won’t be a hassle. You guys go ahead, we’ll be riiiight behind ya.” Ra’iik will let the group go ahead, and follow behind with Fluffy. He ties the other end of the rope to a piton which he can slam into the ground to keep him anchored. As  we begin to set off, Ra’iik looks down at him with a big grin. “We’ll start training tomorrow. This is a big chance for you, buddy.”

If anyone has any input.. please feel free. :p

Remember, no one but you can be around the chimera while you tame it. That means if they have combat encounters while exploring you are out.

Dani again gave him a skeptical look, but shrugged. "Alright, good luck."

(Flips through the pages of the campaign book, nervously..) Uh, Afro? This isn't in the adventure. What are you doing? Are you trying to tame a chaotic evil animal?

 (I have nearly died laughing twice reading this, and the reply that followed. Good job, Afro. You nearly broke the DM in one of the bestest D&D fashion.)

"Well, that certainly happened." Mr. Biggs chuckles. "If you got it, my good man. Who am I judge. Wedge will be in the area if you need to get in contact with us. Just hollar and he'll relay things back to me."  He starts to leave but stops short to look back to the coin remaining behind. "Mind making sure he does not melt those 'fore we get back? I would insist upon taking it now, but..." he glances over to the chimera. "Yeah... rather not upset Arnold there."

"Ra'iik, you crazy like shit, do your bestest best!"

Evrik was wandering through the caverns when he heard the commotion.  He rushed up to find Ra'aijk healing some type of beast he'd never seen.  He eyed the paladin curiously,  but felt there must be some reason for this madness.  He gave the two a wide berth as he moved forward down the way towards the ruins.

It flies towards the group and the dragon head spews forth a massive fireball at the entrance: 27

DC15 DEX save for half damage. I know that would include at least Ra'iik, Azrael, and OU812. 

 

 OU812's DEX save 15

Alessandra watches Ra'iik revive the animal with a questioning look on her face, her visage not faltering even when he had explained himself. This man is crazy.

You have a red dragon egg in your pouch about to pop.
...

"If it is what you want..." The blood hunter shrugs. "Then so be it." She then turns to the chimera's hoard and starts to pack the monies away in her Bag of Holding. If anyone wants their cut already, she will give it to them, otherwise, she says to the others. "For safe keeping, everyone will get their cut once we leave this place again."

OOC: 20i & j

As the group heads off, Ra'iik and Arnold hang back, having some quality time. The training begins with Ra'iik controlling the beast, showing it where to go and getting used to handling it. Animal handling 1/3 28 (with bardic inspiration)

Well, off to a fantastic start.

((ooc: i laughed so hard i cried XD the dice are not in your favor but you get an A for effort!))

As Evrik continues down the hall, he hears a cry behind him and wonders if Ra'iik still has all of his appendages.

Ra’iik you have no idea what youre doing. The chimera spooks and bites your hand off with its dragon head. It hurts a lot.

20i

When you open this door, a naked male drow is sitting in a latrine bucket, and startles, obviously embarrassed to be caught in such a compromising position.

20j

A horrible stench fills this chamber, the floor is covered with loose rocks. About 12 troglodytes are prisoners here, but..where is the guard?

Grianne lets Ryackk be, he clearly knows what he is doing *hears screams if dismemberment* Yep, he knows precisely what he is doing.

Mr. Biggs looks to Evrik and OU812... then back to the drow... then back to his companions... then back to the drow before finally finding his voice again. "Do you want us to let you finish, or now a good a time for words?" Mr. Biggs just nonchalantly asks the drow. He repeats that in undercommon in case the drow didn't seem to understand.

Wedge learned this day that half-orcs can yell really loud if they wanted to. 

Opening the door, Evrik sees the drow in an unfavorable position and his hatred for the drow overtakes him. He grips Myke with both hands and moves towards the drow shouting, "Tonight you die in your own filth maggot!"

As Evrik lunges at the Drow, he shrieks in surprise and throws a bucket at you..

Urinal Attack: 4 Damage: 2

If that hits, you're covering in some pretty stinky filth, and attempts to push you aside and flee.
