" Ah.....so.....will there be a dragon arriving here soon then?", Lyngheid queried worriedly.
The prisoner, still trapped under Dino-Baeshra chuckles and says "Yes, you would be good food for a dragon!"
The prisoner responds: "There was one here, but the actor over there." He motions his head to Umbriel "says that it is dead."
Umbriel whispers quietly to Lyngheid, so the cultist doesn't hear them. "To the best of my knowledge, the dragon he's referring to is the dragon in the tower that Reidoth told us about. I lied and said the dragon was dead, which got the cult members to come out and go check - he said they were getting ready to go up there and make an offering, so I don't think the dragon has any interest in coming down here soon. Even if it does, we now have six cloaks and masks that we can use to fool it into thinking we're its cultists, and maybe we can use that to our advantage in convincing it to set up a lair elsewhere. I hear Chult is nice this time of year."
Ireniana shakes her head. "As alluring as fighting a dragon can be at times, we'd be severely outmatched. What do we do with this prisoner?"
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
As the prisoner talks about Whistler being good food, Baeshra/dino will lean down and lick the cultists neck and clack his jaws in his face.
Intimidation: 16
The prisoner gulps, and shuts up.
Whistler looks deep into Dino Baeshra's eyes and smiles... shame Kenku's cannot smile. Instead, he just opened his beak with no expression whatsoever.
Whistler - Lost Mines of Phandelver [Lvl 8 Barbarian] | Cinta Yuliani Lestari - My Island Home [Lvl 3 Fighter] | Shalana - Allansia Wildlands [Lvl 4 Monk] | Roger Durant - Storm King's Thunder [Lvl 8 Monster Hunter] | Rotthran - The Waterdeep Heist [Lvl 5 Thief]
Umbriel pokes his head into the cultists' former residence. "Well, it looks like we have a secure place to stay tonight, at the very least. Ireniana, I'm not sure what we should do with this one. We could hand him over to Reidoth and let the Emerald Enclave deal with him, or..." Umbriel stops and thinks for a moment. "We could always dress up in the cultist robes and masks, and take the prisoner up to see the dragon. If we offer the dragon this 'adventurer' as a gift, maybe it will be more positively inclined to deal with us, and we can convince it to go elsewhere."
Ireniana nods. "I like both ideas. If we go the dragon route, we'll need to keep him gagged so he doesn't yell or blow our cover."
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
Lyngheid just stares at Umbriel and tries her very best not to look terrified at his words.
As you go to tie him up, he is going to try and break the grapple that Dino-Baeshra has him in. He'll distract the group by responding to Ireniana: "I've got something for you to gag on right here!"
And then roll around trying to get out from under Baeshra's dino-feet: Athletics: 15.
Baeshra: Dino-athletics check please!
Dinoletics check: 14
The cultist struggles against the dino foot and manages to wriggle free! He jumps up and starts running in the direction of the dragon tower. He's about 15 feet from the group.
"Oh, hells." Umbriel launches an Eldritch Blast in his direction. Attack: 15 Damage: 5
The magic blast of energy smacks into the fleeing Cultists back, it slows him down to a hobble, he's looking pretty badly injured.
Lyngheid cursed that her emanation had already faded.
Whistler chases after him and grapples.
Strength Check: 24
Whistler - Lost Mines of Phandelver [Lvl 8 Barbarian] | Cinta Yuliani Lestari - My Island Home [Lvl 3 Fighter] | Shalana - Allansia Wildlands [Lvl 4 Monk] | Roger Durant - Storm King's Thunder [Lvl 8 Monster Hunter] | Rotthran - The Waterdeep Heist [Lvl 5 Thief]
Baeshra will race over in front of him and stead ready to bite him if he moves again.
Attack if he tries to move away: Attack: 5 Damage: 6
Ireniana will move over to the cultist and stab him.
Attack: 8 Damage: 8
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
Cultist Strength check: 2
Whistler easily tackles the fleeing cultist, and then sits proudly on top of his back, chirping away.
The cultist is struggling and cursing, but for the moment, subdued.
Ireniana throws a longsword stab at him, but it misses and goes into the ground next to him.
Dino-baeshra stands ready to take him out, but has something stuck in his teeth that he is trying to work out with his tongue, but it's just not coming. It's a very frustrating experience, especially with no hands.
