"That sounds like dragonspawn, which is close, but not as dangerous. Please thank your friend for his knowledge."

In reply to Zlobr (msg # 463):

"Does he wish to join us for the hunt, or to hunt on his own?"

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 464):

"Zlobr never alone," he siezes a wolf and rubs its forehead with a knuckle.

In reply to Zlobr (msg # 465):

"Or course. But are there prey that are a challenge even for your group?"

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 466):

"What ho! I go as I have always."

In reply to Zlobr (msg # 467):

"Right. Well met then, Zlobr. We should be on our way then."

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 468):

the ogre spits in his palm to shake hands with Jednesa,  although once she grasks his hand, he pulls in for a back thumping hug.

"Hahah!"  She lifts him in a bear hug, then sets him down and steps back, giving the dire wolves head and necks scratches as they leave, starting with the alpha, and ending with the alpha.  "Maybe see Zlobr again on way back to city in few days!  Maybe have treats for good puppers!"

The sisters blink several times (in sync), then wave to the ogre and his dire wolves and begin stowing their slings and recoiling their whips.

"Are we hitting the road, then, or is there time to sleep a little more before daylight?"

In reply to Evelina Grattan (msg # 471):

"I believe camp is stil set up. Perhaps head back there to finish resting before hitting the road."

The younger sister stifles a yawn.  "I'm in favor of that."

Masugatan raises his thumb approvingly.  It’s the first time he has ever made this gesture, although he has plenty of experience displaying other protuberances.  For example, his middle fingers.

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 474):

you all head onward, until the ogre  is a speck on the horizon.

the land is growing rocky, and there are traces of charred vegetation.

“This land is extra crispy.  Something around here breathes fire; I’d bet my sister’s chastity on it.”

"Yay, dragons, gonna snap it's neck, wear it's hide..." Jednesa mutters and hums happily content with the idea of wrapping her big arms around a dragon's neck and squeezing till it pops...

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 477):

Right. I assume we returned to camp, as mentioned, rested at least long enough to be back to full health and then departed. So Christine would be noticing the burnt vegetation quietly, until someone comments on it

"Indeed. Perhaps we should be ready to resist fire..."

How open is the terrain?

"The frog god has granted me the ability to cast Resist Fire, though I cannot maintain it for long on more than one person."

does Jednesa know the plan was to ask the dragon how to cast a spell?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 480):

I am not sure Christine was aware that that the one she was seeking was a dragon. I had worked out that there would be a dragon in the area, but unsure if they were a hindrance to the seeker or the seeker themselves...

OOC:  Nope.  No one has explained anything to Jednesa except "we're going to a place" and "it's wild" and "there may be dragons".

In fact, having gone over the threads where it could have been revealed to her and all that has been said about a dragon is:




Basically Jednesa heard "dragon" but was not present when Christine paid for the info and was told "do not kill the dragon, parlay (or sneak*) past it to the shrine".

* I say "sneak" because if we went the other way around the valley, we'd get to the shrine without having to deal with the dragon, which in parlaying was mentioned it is fond of riddles and princesses, so it stands to reason that sneaking is also a possibility.


I think either Christine has forgotten, because I keep repeating "gonna wrestle dragon", or she doesn't want to disappoint Jednesa, or she's hoping to parlay for a friendly wrestling match (which might just be safer anyway).

I have to admit, I'm mildly intrigued to see which.



You were told that the Dragon is the shrine's guardian and killing the dragon will snuff out the eternal flame, presumably this is a bad thing.

I have to admit that OOC I have no idea what you're supposed to do at the shrine, I figured it would be a "you'll figure it out" once we got there.

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 482):

Most likely Christine's player forgot, though it is possible she did as well. A lot has happened irl in the time between now and then...

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 483):

to be truthful it has been over a year...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 484):

And what a year it has been! How long game time? Long enough to require someone with photographic memory to make a memory roll?

OOC:  It's been three days... we've only camped twice.
