This is the game thread for The Rapscallion’s Gambit. (TheFriendlyArchfeys thread.)
All of you have received an invitation by a mysterious figure named Glitz the Rapscallion. They have offered you each One million gold pieces in exchange for your help slaying several evil dragons that have terrorizing the world for years. He told you to meet him at his Tavern called the Drunken Dragon, in a small city in the middle of nowhere.
You have all arrived and have been greeted by Glitz, who is a Halfling with tan skin, a gold tooth, and diamond earrings. He brings all of you to a hidden room in the kitchen, which leads to a staircase which goes down for quite some time.
Eventually it leads into a large chamber filled with barrels, chests, and a large table at the center with a map on it as well as a few other papers. He walks over to the table, examining the map.
“Okay so, the first dragon you are all going to slay is quite the strange one. It’s name is Balleg-“ thunder rumbles in the distance.
”EVERY TIME!” Giltz shouts towards the ceiling. “WHY IS THERE LIGHTNING EVERY TIME I SAY IT?!?!?”
after a few moments, he continues.
”it’s name is Balleg, The Ravaged Wyrm. It lairs in a forest just north of the city. You’ll know you’re getting close when the sky starts to darken and there’s a lot of vultures. You also get to keep anything you find in it’s lair. Anyways, some stuff you should know about it, it will probably know that you’re looking for it. Also, it’s a LOT stronger in its lair than outside it. All dragons are, but Balleg especially.” Thunder rumbles in the distance again.
”I’ve arranged for a carriage to take you there. It should only take a few hours. Is everyone ready to leave?”
“I’m ready. If the dragons only power is ominous thunder then we should be fine. Just before we go I like to know what I’m getting… what things are in his lair.”
“As far as I know, lots of tomes of ancient lore and spells, maps, ancient relics from centuries ago, and a few gemstones that would probably be worth quite a lot. A few thousand, maybe.”

Aro hops up, a playfully brave expression on his face. "I'm ready!"

I want you to know. You are going to lose. You are going to lose badly. You’re going to lose badly and it’s going to be awesome.
A red tiefling runs out towards the carriage and jumps in, "I'm so sorry I'm late you guys, I'm Tyrion," He says, panting from exhaustion, he must have been running for a while, or maybe he just has very little stamina. He tosses the driver a coin (lemme remove the coin from my sheet rq)
The carriage starts to make its way out of town, following a large road going straight through a small valley, with the town on one side, and the start of the forest at the other end. The forest is currently only a line in the distance.
i’ll pause for a bit in case any of u wanna interact.

“I see, I’ll be sure to do it for you.” the Minotaur grins.

“Oh, one more important thing, Balleg hates spellcasters. Which is kind of odd, considering they use a lot of magic.
“He probably doesn’t like competition.”

“Alright, your carriage should be right outside the tavern about now.”
The Minotaur walks out and looks down the street for the carriage. Seeing it he walks over and passes a gold coin to the driver and hops in.

Aro, not having a gold piece to his name, walks past the driver and hops in, quite literally.

The Minotaur seems content to just stare out the window and whenever talked to just grunts.

Aro seems content to just ramble on about how he got here and all other eventful things in his life, fully thinking that the Minotaur is listening.
