Come with us while we explore this Citadel, and you can kill any goblins we come across. Talien says, approaching slowly hand out so it can smell him. I am new here in this realm, is your kind a common occurrence?
Calcryx recoils again as Talien issues his hand forward. When she sees he is not threatening her she approaches slowly and flicks her tongue out, "Peculiar... you smell like my coins, but you can speak to me."
She withdraws and chuckles deeply (her laughter is deep and kind of scary.. in a murder you in one bite kind of way). "You wish me to join you in an exploration? I don't quite like this place and wish to go home to mother. But, I am starving... green skin sounds like a good snack. Hrrmmmm..." (She has no idea if she is a common occurrence and chooses to ignore the question, rather than look weak).
Make a persuasion check please with advantage [DC 20].
I like coins, I do find them very interesting. Also there is not any fresh meat from the way we just came, it should be starting to decay at this point. Fresh meat only lies through the places we have not been.Persuasion: 19
Edit: FML with only a +1 mod, ah well looks like rotting meat it is for the dragon.
"Hrrrmmm... I like my meat dry cured... mother says frost and cold helps with that... But, there is no sport in scavenging. What else have you to offer me if I were to grace you with my presence?" Calcryx asks as she licks her lips.
(Me as the spectator, **** off Talien, don't say that)
(Me as Talien)
He pauses for a second and then says
Well I wont kill you, and if we find a way out I wont stop you from leaving. Unless you attack this group...Then I will kill you. Talien says flatly. I almost killed Alten once when he stood in my way...It would be nice to see how a dragon fights because you are the first one I have seen. He says excitedly, Do you have a weapon like a sword tail? (If the dragon has not moved in anger at this point then Talien will move close and touch the tail/inspect it if possible)
(Alten please save Talien mate, explain his not knowing of the world and my lack of customs/niceties)
"Talien, remember what we said about touching without permission? Stop. It." Rees will give him a look like WTF, Bro? and then turn back to the dragon. "Apologies for our friend, he is just curious as he said -- he's not from here. I've actually never met a dragon either, which is why I was ignorant about the hoard. Basically, we're a group of well-intentioned ****-ups. What we can offer you is maybe not much? I'd like to see you get back home, I know what it's like to lose your family. If you don't want to help us that's fair, we're not going to force you. I'm pretty sure you scare the snot out of Alten back there, but as long as you're not trying to hurt any of us we have no reason to hurt you. There are a lot of goblins around, so you might be less likely to get hurt or re-captured if you stick with us, but it's your choice. Sorry, do you have a name other than Calcryx? Or is that what we should call you? I'm Rees, by the way."
Talien stops mid touch like a kid with his hand in the cookie jar 'caught' Rees, you said not the breasts or crotch area...you said nothing about a tail... He looks at Rees as he says this and continues to touch the tail, if the dragon says nothing he will pick up the tail and inspect it like he would a weapon.

Alten is trying to save you by getting you out the door. If you'r not able to pick up on it, then YOYO.
In Alten's head, he's thinking. I've joined the lunatic brigade. This is ****in white dragon. They're the nastiest of the chromatics. Dragons and their cultists raided and destroyed cities, towns, villages across the continent less than a decade ago (Hoard of the Dragon Queen & Rise of Tiamat - big, public, continent-wide battle of armies, dragons, giants and Cultists at a place called the Well of Dragons). They came within a hair's breath of restoring Tiamat to our world.

“Calcryx, will you allow us a moment to speak with our group before we continue?”
If yes, Arxius will motion to Rees and Talien and join everyone in the hall.
She’ll also say quietly to Meepo; “Calcryx hurt you because Yusdrayl took her from her mother and held her prisoner. Yusdrayl has no place thrusting godhood onto another, especially not one so young. Meepo, you need to think about this. What is best for Yusdrayl, what is best for Calcryx, and what is best for Meepo. If we do not return her, you always have a place with me, I promise you that. I will not make you go back there to be an exile. You are part of my clan now if you want to be.”
Calcryx looks at you wearily but then seems to shrug and retreat behind the table a bit further.
Meepo puts a clawed finger to his mouth as if in though and raises his eyebrows questioningly. "Arxius clan? Meepo like... but Meepo never been with other clan. Always with Yusdrayl. Meepo scared. Yusdrayl protect Meepo too. She mad if we no return Calcryx. She might fight Arxius clan. Meepo no want two clans fight."

Calcryx arches her back like a cat and hisses at Talien pulling her tail back in the process. She retreats even further behind the table, so Talien cannot touch her.
"I have many weapons!" She spits viciously, "I have a tail, claws, teeth, and..." she smiles, "Ice."
"I don't know what an Alten is... But, I assure you I would be a tougher fight."
"Talien, remember what we said about touching without permission? Stop. It." Rees will give him a look like WTF, Bro? and then turn back to the dragon.

"You would not be able to pronounce my proper name... unless you speak mother's tongue? Calcryx will do, but keep your friend away from me unless you want me to dent and pierce him!"
"I do not need you to kill goblins for me... it's the big one covered in fur that managed to drag me in here.. But, I was already chained! Unfair advantage! It's him I'd really like to claw!"
"Your friend over there in the shiny armor looks skittish... maybe you should speak with him and come back to me with a better offer. I like shiny metal things, food, and of course a way out would be helpful... But, I can find that on my own if need be."
Can I touch your tail? Talien asks before grabbing it like a weapon now that he has been told chastised by Alten and Rees
"As I said... don't come near me or I'll open you up and see what's inside!"
If you think you are big enough to 'open me up' then you must welcome death. Talien says dismissing the threat.If you want some food, I will trade you some of mine to touch your tail. Talien says offering 2 rations from his pack.
(Woke up for a few with someone at the door, back to bed)

Unless you mean Talien who keeps trying to grab you -- sorry about that, we're working on it. But we'll go chat and then come back if that's okay? Here..."And she'll pull out the clapper from the bell she disarmed earlier and a piece of gold. "I don't have a hoard, but I have a collection...these are a few things I've collected, you can have them if you want. Just sort of to show that we're serious?"
Alten has gone out in the hall at this point and is giving Grom, Corkey, and Trick the 'WTF are they doing' look. But he is waiting for the others to come out to have a discussion.

Calcryx smiles revealing sharp white teeth as she scoops up the bell and coin with a talon. “Yes...” she says wryly, “I believe he needs quite a bit more work.”
”There is a big goblin covered in fur... it carries a big stick with spikes and wears old pieces of armor. It’s not very bright, but it bosses the other goblins around and hits them if they do not move quickly enough.”
