I just realized we're almost done with the second thread.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-19, 06:46 PM
I was wondering...rip and tear. Rip and tear your threads. You are huge therefore you have huge threads. Rip and tear.

So you don't have access to my senses.

Also, the thread needs titles. Let's just use The Snows of Niflyr 3: Rip and Tear your threads

Zaydos
2011-05-19, 06:49 PM
No, I see what your eyes see, feel what your flesh feels, taste it whenever you eat a horrid little goblin. I simply did not benefit from what the symbiot fed into your mind.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-19, 06:56 PM
Hey! Goblin is tasty.

Zaydos
2011-05-19, 07:04 PM
No. It is not.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-19, 07:07 PM
To you. What a shame, you should be able to use my senses exactly as I sense them.

Zaydos
2011-05-19, 10:27 PM
They're revolting creatures. Worse than vermin.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-19, 11:00 PM
And very rude too! That doesn't mean they aren't tasty. What do elves eat?

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 12:06 AM
We prefered plants, though as winter grew harder we relied upon food created by magic, beasts, and fish. Apples, venison, corn. All gone now. Gone for more than a thousand years.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 12:21 AM
Next time i'm on a wet and wild adventure across the planes, i'll ask an elf if he has any spare apples to share.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 12:23 AM
Was it truly an elf, or just something similar?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 12:28 AM
Nah, I saw this other thing that looked kind of like an elf, but with a lot less pointy head. I'm pretty sure the one i'm talking about was an elf.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 12:29 AM
Hmm... Interesting. How close were you to it?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 12:32 AM
Within a few feet. We talked, but apparently he didn't want to because Hades is dangerous. And before you ask, no I didn't hurt him. I think we parted on good terms.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 12:35 AM
Interesting. So are we just going to rest here?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 12:41 AM
Nonsense! We, and by we I mean I, continue looking for dry land, and then I pray that I am not trespassing in the territory of a red dragon whom is combing their territory feverishly for a white dragon to make into a bound and gagged mantlepiece.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 12:48 AM
What god would here us pray?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 12:58 AM
...uuhh...oh! I know, that five-headed dragon god thing the wyrms keep mentioning. The elf mentioned there were many different worlds. And if there are, er, were elves here, there's probably dragons there...and...I just realized I don't know where I was going with this. Scratch that. He flies up to continue his search for solid ground.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 01:04 AM
You can find islands easily enough. But how will you determine which ones are safe, and which ones are dangerous?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 01:13 AM
Malathot believes that relatively large, irregularly shaped islands are safe

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 01:21 AM
And hard to find.

You find an island with six trees, shaped like a six-pointed star.

And another one with no trees. Fairly round, although with irregular edges, and a small pool in the middle. Unlike the water elsewhere the pool lacks the red algae.

Also what are you going to eat?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 09:54 AM
Does the pool have delicious muncies in them? And how are the trees on the Star of David island arranged?

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 09:55 AM
Translucent fish, and in a Star of David.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 10:01 AM
Malathot eats some of the fish. And what is the radius of the island?

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 10:05 AM
About 12-ft.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 10:06 AM
And are the trees moving?
Hmm, should Malathot's wet and wild adventure across the planes continue?

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 10:09 AM
((I thought you meant the round island with a hole for radius)) The 6-pointed island is 60-ft from one tip to the diametrically opposed tip. The trees do not move visually. But if they did they could beat up on you while you were sleeping.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 10:11 AM
Umm, I did ask you.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 10:12 AM
Will it prove constructive in any way shape or form?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 10:23 AM
Probably not, but it's fun.
He watches the trees, searching for any signs of movement.
Malathot takes 20 on a Search check.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 10:26 AM
They move when you get close enough to them.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 10:29 AM
Malathot frowns and goes to sleep on the smaller, non-starred island.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 10:30 AM
The night passes uneventfully. ((you no longer have the symbiot to wake you up in the case of big badness)).

You have now leveled up. ((I have realized I need to increase the speed of your level ups several times over if you're going to stand a chance in combat with the dwarves when they get here))

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 10:40 AM
((Malathot was in the mountains for two weeks before the dwarves showed the first signs of their presence...by killing Gal's grandson. By my estimation they're moving at a remarkably slow pace. Hell I wouldn't be suprised if a few inexplicable wet and wild adventures slow them down.
Plus, I assume I heal 2 CON?))

Gimme a bit to level up.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 10:46 AM
((yes but they're also capable of killing CR 20 creatures... I've leveled you up 3, now 4, times; also it's not so much time as space; I need to have you level to a reasonable level by the time you reach the crystals))

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 11:12 AM
((Jeez, by the age of two Malathot's effectively a wyrm. Those growing pains must be unbearable. By that time, I wholly expect Malathot to be completely freaking out.))

And...level up! (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=261468)

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 12:59 PM
((that's the problem with PC dragons; heroes level up in a matter of a year, while dragons age over centuries))

You awaken, your wounds gradually growing better. What will you do?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 01:07 PM
((Malathot just goes Super Saiyan. Problem solved.))
He casts Detect Magic and flies to the star of david island.
Huh, I feel funny.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 01:17 PM
The entire region radiates magic, but the star radiates an even stronger aura.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 01:23 PM
Sooo..if I sat there for long enough would I continue my adventures across the planes?

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 01:24 PM
I don't know. Why do you want to go back there?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 01:26 PM
I have the feeling this one goes to a different plane.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 01:30 PM
Which will help you how? Why do you want to go to another plane?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 01:51 PM
Because it's fun! Kind of. Maybe i'll go to a good plane. He flies to the middle of the star island, preparing an action to gtfo once one of the trees attack.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 01:56 PM
Make spot and initiative checks.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 01:57 PM
Wow that's evil.
[roll]1d20+1[roll]
Roland check
[roll0]
Not that that matters, I can cast "no" as an Immediate Action.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 01:58 PM
First roll messed up.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 01:59 PM
spot check
[roll0]
And for the record i've consistently rolled very well for init

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 01:59 PM
Those are good enough. Make a Reflex save.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 02:02 PM
Oh crap....
[roll0]
Fortunately I have a contigency.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 02:04 PM
You manage to fly away before a limb comes sweeping down, it's branches scraping across a 10-ft square.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 02:11 PM
He flies 50 ft away from the tree, breathing frost on it.
[roll0]

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 02:12 PM
The tree responds by striking at you with an entire limb, dozens of branches striking at your body.

13 damage. DC 17 Reflex for half.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 02:22 PM
Malathot casts Wings of Cover (immediate action casting) to block the damage. He then flies to 60 ft distance from the tree and casts Magic Missile
[roll0]
[roll1]

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 04:11 PM
The tree barely seems to notice the missiles of force ((hardness/resistance applies 3 times against magic missile)) and responds by striking at you again.

Reflex DC 17 versus 18 damage.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 04:56 PM
[roll0]
So he'll fly to 100 ft away from the trees.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 04:57 PM
The tree's limb swings at you, but cannot reach you.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 05:01 PM
((Those things have RIDICULOUS reach.))
And...Malathot continues on his search for solid ground.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 05:06 PM
((tree limbs go far; if these things block the sky and are 100+ feet apart that means they average 50+ length of limbs; and that's where they'd have branching parts to actually cover the sky; now the weird thing is that islands reach hundreds of feet apart and trees should not have limbs that are even half that length. Also they're at least colossal size [more than 60-ft tall]))

Have we learned to avoid angry trees yet?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 05:18 PM
I don't know which ones are angry though.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 05:22 PM
Good point.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 05:22 PM
The epic search for solid land continues.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 05:29 PM
You find more islands, but the average size is about 5 to 10-ft diameter if they don't have trees, and a little bigger if they only have one. You do see a rhomboid (diamond) shaped island with four trees.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 05:30 PM
How far apart is each tree from the center, or rather how close is the closest tree to that center?

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 05:34 PM
2 are 20-ft from the center; they're shorter than the others (only rivalling the tallest pines instead of surpassing redwoods).

The other 2 are 30-ft from the center.

They're each 10-ft from the edge.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 05:41 PM
((jeeeeesus, the big ones surpass redwoods?! Sorry, there aren't enough size categories for that.))
Malathot tries speaking to them. In common: Heeeey, um, trees. I'm not gonna hurt you. I just wanna rest there.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 05:44 PM
((they'd have to to have branches that blocked the sky from little islands. Although they'd have to only in height, making them awkwardly.... you know what the biologist in me says to stop before it stabs me))

They make no reaction.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 05:51 PM
He approaches one of the trees carefully, searching for signs of movement.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 05:54 PM
He approaches one of the trees carefully, searching for signs of movement.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 05:55 PM
It makes no obvious movement.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 05:56 PM
He takes 20 on a search check.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 05:58 PM
Not really the domain of search, but it does not make any noticeable movements. This does not mean it can't.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 06:15 PM
And...he lands in the center of the island, waiting for something to happen.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 08:15 PM
How long will you wait?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 09:02 PM
4 hours, or until one of the trees kicks him off. Yeeeah, it's gotta suck.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 09:09 PM
What has to suck?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 09:11 PM
I mean, the not being dead anymore part probably doesn't suck that much, but being able to experience all of my senses without having any control over the body.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 09:12 PM
It gives me hope. The wise-men of old said there was no greater cruelty.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 09:14 PM
Malathot shudders. Clearly they were onto something. I can't say I would ever understand, but...really. I feel for you.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 09:15 PM
I intend to regain my own body. Any suffering is worth that.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 09:19 PM
Let's be realistic here. First off, I don't know where your body is. Second, I wouldn't know what it'd look like. Third, even if I was somehow able to restore your body to life it'd be a comatose, half-dead hunk of meat because the consciousness that animates it is currently in my head.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 09:21 PM
There are means to transfer a consciousness.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 09:22 PM
Mmm...i'll take your word for that. We'll cross the ice when we get to it. Do you have any neat magic tricks you can teach me, say, right now?

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 09:23 PM
Not without my books.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 09:29 PM
Ugh, great. At some point i'm gonna find the dwarves, and i'm gonna keep stealing their stuff until I have the book. At that point they lose.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 09:32 PM
I'm not sure about that.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 09:50 PM
Better than nothing. Even if they made copies it's a plus for me.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 09:54 PM
I'm not sure we can beat them even if we get the book. I mean yes if we have time at the crystals alone. But if they're nearby we might not have time for any such rituals. If they've made copies we will need to get every copy out of their hands and then we will need to force them to come after us. If they can make it past Gal'raxthon then they can do much more than I ever could.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 10:05 PM
I'll take their everything and hide the useless stuff. If possible. Still, I know for a fact I can probably set up an ambush, because I was able to hide from them at one point.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 10:08 PM
I'm not sure. There has to be more here than there were at my old home. There's no way just those three would even have tried to pass through the mountains with the dragons. Not only that they didn't even try to go through with stealth. This is an army.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 10:16 PM
We would see an army. If not us, then the wyrms.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 10:18 PM
They had several frost giants when they first attempted to breach the mountains. We didn't see where they went, but we might have simply been looking in the wrong place. Can a single dwarf control a frost giant and force it to do its bidding?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 10:41 PM
Maybe the dwarf is mind-controlling their leader, maybe the dwarves and frost giants were always allies.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 10:43 PM
Possibly, I missed the rise of each.

((you should remember that the frost giants have been mostly fleeing from the dwarves who have been wiping them out with superior numbers and teamwork))

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 10:57 PM
((Stupid speculation by Malathot. Keep in mind his innate knowledge has limits and he's only a year old. Though growing rapidly.))
Eh, I liked it better when all three were killing each other.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 11:04 PM
Seems like it would be a far easier place. I almost wonder how the wyrms are taking the dwarven incursion.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 11:11 PM
The enemy of my enemies are killing my enemies and this pleases me.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 11:24 PM
But right now they're only doing it to steal your prize.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 11:26 PM
True, but it slows them down. And every casualty suffered, hopefully by the dwarves, works to my advantage. I think the best part is that no matter who wins, neither side knows they're my enemy.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 11:28 PM
Yes, but I worry. If the dwarves do get to the crystals, even if we have all the copies of the ritual, how will we perform it without being overwhelmed?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 11:31 PM
Umm, how long will the ritual take?

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 11:36 PM
I cannot be sure what modifications will be required. I'd need the book and the crystals. Even then, I'd predict several hours each day for several days.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 11:39 PM
...oh...that's fun.
Fast forward with anything happening on the island?

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 11:42 PM
Not for four hours.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 11:44 PM
So...he'll try and sleep on the island.

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 11:46 PM
Make a Will save.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 11:49 PM
[roll0]
hooh boy...

Zaydos
2011-05-20, 11:54 PM
You dream of pleasant refreshing coolness. The feel of snow against your scales.

You awaken with a snowy plain stretching out from you in three directions. In one direction you can see mountains in the distance.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-20, 11:59 PM
He gets up. Ha! Success! or failure? Whatever. He casts Know Direction.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 12:04 AM
The mountains are to the north.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 12:05 AM
Heh, figures. Hey Elf, you there, or are you in the void again? He begins to fly north.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 12:05 AM
I'm here. -censored-! We're behind the dwarves now, aren't we?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 12:09 AM
WHAT?! AAUGHH!! Thought I traveled back in time! Wait wait, it's okay. I still might have traveled back in time, just you traveled with me. If not, we're completely skrewed. And flying north...

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 12:11 AM
Time travel? I hadn't thought of that. But why couldn't this be the future as easily as the past?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 12:20 AM
Good point, I dunno, only one way to find out. Hope for the past. Plus, it doesn't look like i'm in my past body, i'm flying. So Malathot flies north.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 12:27 AM
You're more than 8 hours from the mountains, even by wing (with your new 50-ft fly speed).

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 12:29 AM
Hooh boy, this is gonna suck.
He continues flying.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 12:31 AM
How long will you fly before resting?

That's what happens when you sleep on the freaky isles.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 12:34 AM
For the record, not knowing if I traveled back or forward in time sooner is in no way related to me sleeping or not sleeping on oddly shaped islands.
Until he gets tired.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 01:15 AM
Traveling in time in the first place is, though

The night passes uneventfully.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 09:56 AM
He'll continue the flight.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 09:56 AM
After another 4 hours you reach the edge of the mountains.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 09:57 AM
He'll wake up and continue on the trip.
The forum ate my post. and you saw it anyways.
Editing post, stand by.

Anything unusual about the mountains? Like...a cavern heading inwards?

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 09:59 AM
Not immediately visual, do you take time to look.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 12:23 PM
Malathot looks for the tunnel.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 01:26 PM
Make a Knowledge (Geography), Knowledge (Architecture and Engineering) ((first time I've ever seen that one called for)), or Survival check.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 01:43 PM
Knowledge Geography
[roll0]

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 01:44 PM
Thanks to your knowledge of where such caves would normally occur you manage to find two seemingly natural caves about a mile and a half apart from each other (the search takes about 2 hours though).

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 01:50 PM
Malathot goes through the first one found.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 01:54 PM
The roof is about 13-ft high, and the cave is about 10-ft wide. It looks like a natural system, with scattering of barag droppings (a bat-like creature that eats small rodents). The cave continues for 70-ft and you can see a polar bear within. You think it has seen your silhouette.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 02:00 PM
Taking all bets, how many dragons own this particular polar bear? Malathot casts Mage Armor on himself.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 02:03 PM
Seventeen. More likely one. We could just back away from the cave and nobody would get hurt.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 02:08 PM
Seventeen? I was thinking three. Still, good idea. Malathot gets out of the cave, flying over to the other one.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 02:10 PM
It's longer but narrower splitting into 2 after 40-ft. It's about 5-ft wide and tall.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 02:18 PM
He goes right.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 03:21 PM
The cave twists and turns for a bit, but dead-ends after another 40-ft.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 03:28 PM
He turns to go to the left.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 03:29 PM
Like the other it quickly dead-ends after another 60-ft.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 03:30 PM
He searches for anything unusual at the dead end.
Take 20 on search

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 03:31 PM
You find nothing out of the ordinary. Some signs of animal life, but that's common in caves.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 03:32 PM
He grumbles and exits the cave, continuing to scour the mountain for a cavern.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 03:33 PM
How much longer will you look?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 03:40 PM
Two hours.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 03:43 PM
Make another check. Do you go deeper into the mountains, or stay on the outer edges? If the latter make a Knowledge (Architecture) or Survival check.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 03:46 PM
Survival check
[roll0]

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 03:49 PM
You find another cave, more through luck than anything else. It's about 30-ft deep, and 30-ft wide.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 03:57 PM
He goes inside to explore.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 03:59 PM
The ceiling is low, merely 6-ft high, but the area is wide.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 04:02 PM
He continues through. Eventually i'm gonna get too big to fit through these caverns.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 04:04 PM
Yes you will. I'm betting something lives here.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 04:09 PM
*sigh* yep. He continues exploring the cavern.

It's a single roundish area 30-ft in diameter, with a narrower area at the entrance. There are signs of animal occupation, white-grey fur.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 04:14 PM
So he continues exploring.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 04:20 PM
Where will you go? You've been traveling 8 hours now.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 04:22 PM
how about deeper into the mountains?
Okay, i'm offically lost. I'm probably gonna get captured by light grey dragons pretty soon though.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 04:24 PM
Hide in the snow?

How much deeper, you'll have to start forced march (not that you can't just take the subdual damage since it'll all heal when you rest for a few hours).

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 04:26 PM
Past the mountains, Malathot looks for a big patch of snow to rest in.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 04:29 PM
Do you mean south of the mountains? To actually pass through them would take more than 24 hours of continuous flight (it's hundreds of miles).

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 04:30 PM
Past the initial ridge, he's basically just looking for a patch of snow to the north. If that's on the mountains, then fine.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 04:32 PM
The mountains are as covered in snow as last time you passed through them. So yes, everywhere.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 04:35 PM
So...he'll sleep on the mountain summit, because Malathot's classy.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 04:35 PM
The night passes uneventfully.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 04:38 PM
He wakes up, and continues flying north. Huh, where is everything?

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 04:39 PM
This has always been a rather desolate area. What do you expect to see here?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 04:48 PM
I dunno, i'm not exactly keeping a low profile and I would think I would've seen a wyrm by now.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 04:50 PM
You mean by flying? You could take to the clouds if you wanted to hide.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 04:54 PM
When I get tired, that's where I DON'T want to be. Besides, that's where...oh what's his name, That One That's Lived Three Millenia Too Long's grandson. That's where he flew in from.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 04:59 PM
And most of the others, because it's the hardest place to be seen while flying is just below the clouds. Oh the dragons still might see you, they'd be on the same level, but otherwise you'll blend in.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 05:11 PM
Eh, i'll be fine. I don't fly good anyways.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 05:13 PM
Yes but flying low you're unlikely to see them, and walking takes even longer.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 05:17 PM
Let's be realistic, i'm only flying slightly faster than walking. Although there is a benefit to ignoring geography.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 05:22 PM
That's the one I was refering to.

((trackless mountain equal x1/4 overland travel rate; course your wings would get you around some of that with short hops of flight))

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 05:25 PM
He continues flying, now looking for the river he originally traveled on.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 05:27 PM
How will you perform such a search? What altitude, do you go in a straight line or fly left and right, what's your search pattern, etc.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 05:30 PM
Straight line north.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 05:32 PM
Make a spot check.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 05:34 PM
Fail Check
[roll0]

Malathot's been making a lot of really good rolls today, it really IS the end of the world! :eek:

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 05:35 PM
Out of the corner of your eye you catch sight of a creature in the air above you, approaching.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 05:36 PM
Refer to my previous post briefly.

Also...

Aww <fragmentation grenade.> He turns towards the approacher.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 05:38 PM
It is, of course, a rather big white dragon flying downwards towards you.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 05:52 PM
Oh, here we go. Having no faith in his flying skills, Malathot waits for the white dragon to arrive.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 06:02 PM
Do you land to wait or circle in the air?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 06:06 PM
Circle in the air (though Hover should be a feat all fliers recieve by default.)

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 06:12 PM
((Not really; only hummingbirds and some insects can actually hover most fliers circle or land))

A youngling the dragon says as it approaches. Are you Malathot?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 06:14 PM
...yes? Malathot doesn't remember telling any of the wyrms his name, though he might have, just doesn't remember.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 06:16 PM
But Galraxthon said you were dead

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 06:20 PM
Well...i'm not. Though i've been close several times, I most certainly am not dead.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 06:21 PM
You brought the dwarves

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 06:26 PM
No, actually. Maybe that's what That One...err...Gal-racks-thun is saying, but, no. It'd be more accurate to say that they brought me, but that's not correct either. They brought themselves, I was irrelevent.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 06:28 PM
You came, and they followed.

It was better when they thought you were dead.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 06:34 PM
Yes, but with all due respect it's foolish to assume something based on an irrelevent fact. Yes, I came. Yes, they came. But at what point was the evidence collected that ruled out the idea that they came for reasons independent of me ruled out?

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 06:37 PM
You knew them.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 06:41 PM
I did not. I encountered them, yes, but we never spoke. I knew OF them prior, yes, but nobody was listening.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 06:43 PM
Of course that's what you would say.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 06:45 PM
I...don't see how this would be relevent. Even if we were close friends it would not mean their arrival was dependent on me being here.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 06:45 PM
Why are they after you?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 06:49 PM
They're not in fact i'm pretty sure i'm supposed to ask you that.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 06:49 PM
You will come with me.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 06:56 PM
He starts to get nervous. Umm, where are we going?

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 06:57 PM
You will see when we arrive.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 06:58 PM
Are we going to see other dragons?

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 07:00 PM
You will come

That's a yes.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 07:01 PM
...okay. Well if I wasn't dead before i'll be dead now.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 07:02 PM
It was better off when they thought you were dead.

It reaches for you.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 07:06 PM
Completely. Don't let them hurt me. Malathot flies to the dragon.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 07:07 PM
It carries you to a castle, placing you on the ground Go in.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 07:10 PM
Malathot walks in, slowly.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 07:11 PM
Stay in there

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 07:14 PM
Well this is wonderful. Taking all bets, how long before those bigger, better looking goblin things come in to tie me up? Malathot will wait in the general area.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 07:18 PM
I don't think they're here, thankfully

The dragon utters a word of power and vanishes.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 07:19 PM
Compared to the other thing that has tied me up in my sleep, a matter that will not be discussed, they are an improvement. And...he waits.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 07:21 PM
Things like to try and kill you, don't they?

The dragon reappears a few minutes later, Come with me.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 07:23 PM
They didn't try to kill me though, though it was hard to tell at the time. To answer your question, no. Only trees and dragons like to kill me.

Malathot carefully approaches. Where are we going now?

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 07:24 PM
You will come. He places his hand on your shoulder, Now ready yourself

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 07:26 PM
Malathot wimpers. Clearly he's not ready.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 07:31 PM
The dragon attempts to take you with it as it teleports. Are you willing?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 07:32 PM
Yes, he is.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 07:33 PM
You appear in front of Gal.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 07:38 PM
...and...cue the mental chorus of expletives.
...ah...f....ch...h-h-h....hhii.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 07:42 PM
You may leave now, Gal says waving a claw at the other dragon.

I brought him in the other dragon says.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 07:45 PM
If anyone's recording, they would probably make a YTPMV out of the sounds in Malathot's head.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 07:56 PM
I said you may leave Gal growls.

The other dragon scowls for a moment but teleports away. Leaving you alone with Galraxthon.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 07:57 PM
.....umm...d-don't..hurt..me?

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 08:01 PM
Why are you here?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 08:02 PM
...I..I don't know.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 08:05 PM
What do you mean: you don't know?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 08:06 PM
...I...I wasn't here, then I was here. Please don't hurt me!

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 08:07 PM
Why did you come back?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 08:10 PM
I...I didn't choose to, I was teleported.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 08:11 PM
Go back to where I left you.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 08:13 PM
Okay, um, how?

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 08:14 PM
You were flying, fly there.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 08:22 PM
Oh, okay! He tries flying out.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 08:28 PM
You're on the side of a mountain, you can fly in whichever direction you want.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 08:31 PM
Malathot casts Know Direction and continues north.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 08:32 PM
You begin flying north, you can see a river winding away to the east.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 09:12 PM
He flies down there to grab some fish to eat before continuing.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 09:22 PM
Which of the three varieties?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 09:22 PM
Transparent.

((Worst Rapture EVER!!))

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 09:24 PM
What level do you fly? Skimming the ground (reduced speed since you have to perform altitude changes), middle of the sky, just below the clouds, in the clouds, or above the lower lair of clouds?

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 09:32 PM
Just below the clouds.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 09:34 PM
Make a Spot check.

Emperor Ing

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 09:38 PM
You see a trio of white creatures, about your size, 140-ft away.They are not flying directly towards you, but your paths will cross at this current rate of movement.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 09:45 PM
He moves back 40 ft, watching them curiously.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 09:46 PM
I assume you begin circling to avoid falling.

They pass on by, looking for their prey.

Emperor Ing
2011-05-21, 09:50 PM
Can I get a better description?

He continues flying north.

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 09:50 PM

Emperor Ing

Zaydos
2011-05-21, 10:00 PM
They're white and they fly. About your size.
