Engashez - SPEAKER FOR DRAGONS!'s page

You know, I could probably also put out some feelers. DRACONIC FEELERS!

Hey Everyone! My Convention kicked my butt this weekend, but I am going to be back into regular post mode a few hours from now. Thanks for being so patient!

I will use my Hat of Disguise to look like a Halfling in a Blue Opera Cloak :D

Disguise: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24

"Well, Mr Xarcious, Let's take you somewhere safe where I'm certain no trouble will come to you! I know of a Quiet Museum that you could probably rest at until you have a chance to get back on your feet! I'll put a good word in with Nigel, you're sure to get a job!"

After returning to her Halfling Disguise, Engashez will take a bit of time to ask around about the Opera. Coming back to the rest of the group with a handful of playbills, she grins excitedly. "Ok Everybody! We have a few options of Operas to go to tonight! First, The Trouble with Swans! I have heard a lot of great things about this show! It apparently is a story of a group of Gnomes, wanting to learn how to change their shape into Swans! After performing an experimental ritual, they get stuck in their swan form, where the whole thing turns into a Heist Opera, to break into the tower of the Wizard that sold them the ritual to get their gold (And their gnomehood) back! I've only heard stories, but it sounds Wonderful!" A moment later, it registers that the more awesome the play is, the less likely that Yiddlepode will be there. "Awwww, Maybe I'll try to catch a showing after we are done with our 'Negotiations.' The other option for tonight is the Serpent's Song, a Less exciting opera taking place in Ancient Taldor. The army of expansion begins encroaching on the Dragon Variel's territory, so she has no choice but to steal the princess from a neighboring duchy. As the Variel holds the princess captive for Ransom, to prevent the corrupt Prince Adrian from usurping her territory, they become fast friends, as Princess Vanessa has no desire to stay trapped in a relationship that she was forced into for political reasons. As time passes, they eventually fall in love! I hope that she survives the onslaught of Prince Adrian!"

Taking another moment to process, Engashez add, "If I was Yiddlepode, I would probably go to the Serpent's Song!"

...shoves a potion down Mr. Xarcious's gullet to wake him up...

I guess I should have mentioned that it is a Potion of CLW? Also, I should probably roll that. Potion of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 Also, can I spend Prestige to purchase a wand?

Engashez, using her hat to resume her Halfling-with-a-blue-cloak disguise, shoves a potion down Mr. Xarcious's gullet to wake him up.
"Xarcious! It is very good to see you! Can you help us get Fluffimus Maximus to a safe location? Also, we have freed you from your Debts! In exchange, you owe a debt to Us! Also, Mister Greeves says he isn't going to lend you any more money."

Doing her best to 'Support' him walking, Engashez walks Mr. Xarcious out of the incredibly reputable, and Easy-to-Deal-With Mr. Greeves loan office, taking him somewhere safe to sit.

"Now, I believe that we have some questions for you. First, do you know if Fluffimus Maximus is Housebroken? Do you know any good places to get Puppy Food? What color Collar do you think would look best? Do you have experience training Puppies? Can you train Fluffimus Maximus to be a Noble Steed when she grows up?"

After collecting funds from the group, and counting down to the penny, Engashez turns away from her kobold compatriots, and flashes a big smile at Creeley. "Master Greeves, I believe that we can honor that agreement. In addition, We would like to purchase the Puppy. What do you think is a Fair and Equitable Price for Fluffimus Maximus? And would you happen to have a saddle of appropriate size?"

Diplomacy, Bargaining for the Pupperino: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

I truly hope that Mr GM Silbeg isn't reading the Draconic Messages. I don't think that GM's speak Draconic!

Taking a moment to look out of the huddle back to Bonebag, Engashez can barely contain a Gleeful Grin, and looks back to the center.

After her speech... Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16Oh come on. I will burn my Reroll on this!
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 4 = 29Much better

"What do you say? Can we come to an Agreement?"

Seeing that the Puppy isn't exactly... Friendly? Engashez puts the ball back in her bag. "You know Mr. Xarcious! The one whom you engaged in conversation with? In public? A few days ago? And hasn't been seen since? Who owes you money? I mean, Certainly, it could be purely coincidental, but Dragons of our stature know the value of a Horde, and that gold isn't to be trifled with." Smiling ear to ear, with rows of Charmin, but pointy teeth, Engashez adds "Now, we don't want any trouble here, right? Perhaps you could just turn him over into our custody, and we can all be on our way. What do you say buddy, do we have an agreement?"

That sounds like a Diplomacy to me (at a +10?)

Furries! He must mean the Puppy!
Engashez speaks up, puffing out her chest. "Yes, Please sic the Furry on us. As Fazgyn stated, We would like to pet the puppy. Commere Boy! Wanna play ball?" Pulling a rubber ball out of her bag, she waves it Happily at the dog. "Are you Good Boy? A Good Boy that wants to chase a Ball? Are you! Who's a Good Boy? Is it You! I bet it's you!"

Strength!: 1d20 ⇒ 5 Shoving on the door, with all of her -substantial- strength, Engashez manages to do basically nothing.

Given the opportunity to Take 20, and work at it, I'm willing to do so to keep things moving :D

Even if it -isn't- unlocked, I say we barge in like we own the place. If we don't own it yet, we will soon!

Scrambling off the top of the Kobold Pile... Kobold Stack? Kobolds are basically Dragon Ratfolk, right? Engashez sneaks over to the door, and jiggles the handle. Is it locked? Can I get in?

That is -exactly- what it was, but apparently, this Pupper wants something different.

Bah! I had a whole post typed out before I left for Winter War, but apparently the site ate it. Let's try this again, continuing the chain of Cartoon Logic!

"There's a cute Puppy in there! I know just how to take care of it!" Digging deep into her draconic heritage, she whispers through the door, and the sound of a bag of shaking dog food starts to sound by the back right cell.

Hey Guys!
Heading to a RL convention in the morning. I'll make sure to get at least a post or two in during the day! Otherwise, back to business as usual on Monday!

Jumping up and down and clapping (softly!) Engashez whispers "I'll form the Head!" before attempting to climb up on Fazgyn's shoulders.
Climb: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Take 10 Knowledge Local for 20:

A sudden realization flashes across the young 'Halfling's eyes "Yes Yes! Remember? We got these Wayfinders by setting up this trade, then working with the Master of Wines in the Future-Past! If we don't find and organize this trade, maybe we will have never Hat--- I mean been born! I think we should hurry to find Xarcious's Bookie! I seem to remember the name Creeley Greeves!"

Looking toward the door, almost as if ready to sprint out at any moment, she looks again at the table of melons and fruit, and shoves a few whole melons, and other snacks into her pack. "Perhaps we can offer snacks as an incentive to be Diplomatic? Do you have more of these Melons that I can take?"

Engashez, while stuffing her bag and face with melons and other soft fruit, perks up at the mention of Emral. "I fin I herr va Emraa waf baa wif hif goh." Taking a moment to swallow before continuing, she adds "Maybe we should check his bookie! Master of Wines, did you import these Mwangi Musk melons all the was from the Kaava Lands? They are Downright Delightful! I haven't had anything quite so delightful before!"

"You know why the Sewer Dragons are called that, right? Our Benevolent Leader, Kibizax, has earned the trust of a True-True Dragon! Of my own color and Heritage!" Engashez, pausing for a moment, catches her error and continues. "I mean, as a Halfling, I'm half Dragon on my Mother's side!"

Upon hearing the Invitation, Engashez tromps into the office, new wayfinder already worn with pride around her neck. Puffing out her chest, she goes into full speech mode. "Greetings Master of Wines! We were very -specifically- sent to help with whatever trouble might be coming your way! I have been entrusted with a very special package from our recruiter. Although we may look rather unorthodox, I assure you that you couldn't ask for a better, more qualified team!" Upon handing over the bundle 'entrusted' to her by Future Dreng, she smiles with an oddly toothy grin for a halfling. "I am Engashez, SPEAKER FOR D... DOWNTRODDEN! At your service! So, what can a Humble Halfling do to aid you in your missions?"

Diplomacy (To impress the Master of Wines): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
Disguise (To look Believable as a 'Helpful Halfling'): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (20) + 20 = 40

Engashez perks up as Athrax and Fazgyn are looking over the small package. "Oh, what is is that you have there?" Upon seeing the wayfinders, she practically SHRIEKS with delight, before immediately snatching one up. "OUR VERY OWN WAYFINDERS! We can be OFFICIAL PATHFINDERS going on OFFICIAL MISSIONS!"

Thinking to herself, Engashez scratches her chin before a bit of Inspiration strikes. "I know! Janira, what do you think of THIS?" before adjusting her hat into a blue cowl and cloak, worn over simple a simple artisan's outfit. "How do I look as a Halfling? Blue cloak so you guys know it is me!" After her quick transformation, she steps into the arcane circle, ready for her Excellent Adventure!

With an Excited Outburst, Engashez looks at Athrax. "It is good to see you again friend Athrax! You have just barely missed our Adventure Briefing from Master of Wines, Drendle Dreng! He want's to send us BACK IN TIME!!!" As she mentions this, she doffs her cap slightly, transforming from her Besmaran Best to a Ratty patched robe, complete with matching Wig and Beard.

Barely able to contain her excitement, she shows all of the packages from Dreng to Athrax, before continuing. "Let me catch you up! As the de-facto Mission Leader, He trusted me to inform you of our Top Secret Mission. Part 1: Meet the Master of Receipts in the Grand Lodge, where he will give us a Magic Time Portal!" Taking just enough time to doff her cap again, her attire quickly changes to a Long blonde wig, with peach colored false pointed ears attached to the side. A fine beige tunic, with a set of fine dancing slippers completes the ensemble, with a rose in her hand. "Afterwards, it is Your duty to ensure that I make it Safely to the Past Master of Wine and deliver this SUPER SECRET package! Do you have any questions?"

I found a Blue Kobold Avatar after much searching!

Hmm, I did -not- know that. But that is exciting for the future!

Engashez, in a fit of Excitement, jumps up and down at the mention of 'Time Travel.' "I have heard a tale of two bards that traveled through time to tell a most Excellent Story! I would LOVE the opportunity to follow in their footsteps!" Quickly grabbing all of the packages from the Dreng, she shoves them into her bag before turning to the other Kobolds.

"Ok Kobold Team: Master of Wine Drendle Dreng has a very important mission for us in Absalom! As the de-facto Mission Leader, He trusted me to relay this assignment to you all. Our first mission: Meet the Master of Scrolls in the Grand Lodge, where he will give us a Key that Unlocks the past! Then, in heading to the past, I, in the most glorious of fashions, will deliver one of the envelopes entrusted to Me to the Master of Wine in the past. Do you have any questions?"

After giving her short and succinct mission briefing, she expectantly waits for any questions that her subordinates have.

With a sly wink, Engashez bows low to BlackHat, keeping her head just out of Tentacle Reach. "Beggin' ye pardon BlackHat, but if a Pirate gave up her Booty whenever asked, she wouldn't be gettin' yer respect. Besides, I'd bet on Besmara's Barnacles that we ken come to some sort of accord given a chance to parley?"

Parley with BlackHat: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Not missing a beat, Engashez doffs her cap in a low bow to BlackHat, before placing it back on her head with much bravado, her attire changed entirely to be more... suitable.
Standard Action activating her Hat of Disguise to change into a Pirate's outfit, with a Matching Besmaran Bicorn, and an Eyepatch for good measure.

"Avast ye BlackHat! Requesting permission to board! A hearty crew of 5 Truebloods ripe for adventure!"

You know... I haven't played Rise of the Goblin Guild before.

♪♫ Do you hear the dragons sing?
Singing the songs of trapping men
It is the music of the dragons
who will live topside again!

When the the whipping of your tail
Echoes the beating of your drum
There is adventure without fail
When the Kobolds Come! ♫♪

Going to try and channel my inner Hmm for this adventure :D
