Lured Into Darkness
Karon watches the exchange silently. The dragon has a point. Why would he... or was it it? Why would it care about a group of giants that don't threaten it at all? The half-orc doesn't know much about dragons. Only that they are immensely powerful, vain and wrathful. Perhaps he could use one of those attributes against it? Assuming the fairy tales he's heard about them are even true.
"See, Seliar? I told you the dragon wouldn't help. What can a single dragon do against a group of powerful giants anyway? No, we need to seek a more powerful ally," he whispers to Lucien. Well, whispers might be an overstatement. His voice is loud enough for the others to hear, and presumably the dragon as well, the voice of someone who learned how to whisper in the middle of a raging storm.
OOC: Karon is trying to use a bit of reverse psychology to get the dragon to do what he wants. In a fairly naive way, since all he knows about dragons is from exaggerated stories told to youngsters around a campfire.
I'll throw in a Persuasion check, in case it is needed:
14:14, Today: Karon rolled 22 using 1d20+4 with rolls of 18. Persuasion speaking to dragon.
Holy smoke, not a bad roll. Not bad at all.
