I'd love to get into a kingmaker game again. I've played PF1e a lot. If it's PF2e I'll have a little learning to do. But I've played dnd since 1st edition lol. So I'll learn quick. :)
Are the Moon Phases (Lunar Cycles) in Golarion the same length of time as Earths?
Lin rumbled with laughter as she regarded Sophitia. "No need, you'll be my bodyguard. Once we get Min back we'll rejoin the rest of you." I'll ring that serpentfolk's tiny neck if he keeps playing these games...
She uses her eldritch link once she is close enough and returns to her elven form, towering over many as she choose her height around seven feet tall. This was strategic as not only would she stand out but she would be able to see Min as soon as she entered the palace. Hopefully. The style of dress she chose for the occasion was from the city of Katapesh in its design, something she remembered in a store she passed in Maranaus when they were there. She substituted the colors with a mixture platinum, silver and then gold in the fainter areas were she needed to outline the changes in the flowing fabric. It gave her a shining dress without being overburdened with frills or unneeded amounts of lace. However since this was merely a glamor placed upon her armor, she couldn't avoid the leather that lined her body beneath the fabric of the dress. Her legs were crisscrossed in a series of tightly strapped white leather belts that ran down to her knees where a pair of knee high white leather high heeled boots that laced along the sides of her statuesque legs met them.
Lin gives Mai a puzzled look, which made her features more indiscernible as her scales twisted as she thought. "He was arrested and taken into the Palace by the Serpentfolk Adviser. He is too far away to communicate with but he seems unharmed thus far and on the move." She nods in the rough direction that she can feel him in and she continues to watch from where she is sitting just in case she needs to move to him quickly. After a moment of fierce thought Mai's words hit her, like a brick to the head. "An army you say?! Well our day gets better and better... Did you recognize what heraldry they march under or shall we go and greet them?"
Lin kept tabs on Mins direction and state as she and Sophia remained close to Belsarious. She gave a sigh when her gaze fell along the upper floor of three south side of the palace. "He's healthy but they have him in the castle... Too far to speak to him sadly butilized i wonder what they are upto?"
Lin narrows her eyes at the woman, keeping her voice civil. "Unless something stops us we could be there to...." She stops as Kyras starts speaking. Watching him with uncertain eyes as she digested his words. Sophia was looking at Min as he started to regain his composure.
Lin turned to look at the woman, while keeping Min on his feet. "We have means to get there quickly, through magic. I don;t know if it is controllable, did it not just have him under its power? Has he done this before?" Her questions are genuine and friendly as she can be as her rider jerks from his short lived dry heaving.
As bead's of sweat started to form on Min's face Lin moved around his side and stared at his glazed expression. When he twitched unexpectedly she nearly jumped back in shock. The bond was overwhelmed by thought, by pure concentration. Yet her calls came with no reply. What was wrong with him? "Min?
Lin watched everything from her higher vantage point, growling low at the golden scaled one as he eyed her rider who had been unaware of him until the last moment. At Min's command she focused between the two on the rooftop and those on the ground, hoping that Min hadn't made a mistake in trusting them... She holds her ground, wings ready to spread out and contain an area attack if needed. No one needed to be dragged into this conflict. Especially children. Her scales shined despite the coming mist and loss of light. The Bond:
:It's her honor at stake if he turns...:
She couldn't help but remained guarded as she waited for what happened next.
Relieved Min let go of his stubborn attitude and was talking, she looked at the strange gold scaled Serpentfolk, this Adviser Chujitsuna, that was shouting as if it were in command. She eyed it suspiciously, but when the policemen on the street started to move in response she couldn't help but look surprised at Chujitsuna. The Bond:
She whispered across the bond . Knowing full well that lately Min was preferring to take enemies alive if possible. Ever since that battle with the Wolfguards and the encounters with the Lionhearts he had started to change.
Lin looked to Min and that at the man and for all her bulk she was surprisingly agile, sweeping her way across the street as she circled to cover the other side of their enemies flank. At her vantage point she saw others coming across the rooftops and another in the air with the man. "Min we have four more coming to the party." Min just continued to stare grimly at the man on the rooftop.
Lin looked down at the people of Lanzhu with a overabundance of warmth and serenity. Welcoming children to touch her scales, spreading her wings to shadow the streets and rumbling quietly with laughter at the awed reactions she received. At the Policemen's response she gave them a sheepish smile and a quiet humored rumble as she addressed those staring in awe. She tried to not let her voice rumble loudly, restraining herself so that she was heard but not feared by those nearby. She had always maintained an accord more with the creatures that walked the earth than her own kind, which lately she was starting to get to know better. Min had taught her how to treat with mankind and those races that were more fragile than dragons. Especially children, which she adored and didn't hide the fact in how she treated with them. At Min's question to the Captain she looked to her rider with a questioning look before turning back to entertaining and looking around the area around them as well. They were scouts after all and despite this being a friendly visit, the city was unknown and a mental map needed to be made.
Lin looks somewhat shocked at being spoken too directly and bows her head respectfully to Shenji, she favored him with a warm demeanor and was very appreciative of his initial welcome. Min dismounted, helping Belsarious down and bowed respectively to Shenji as Lin spoke. "Merry meet indeed Shenji. We will most certainly enjoy your beautiful city and are most appreciative of the warm welcome. I don't wish to be rude and hope to visit the palace but it is our first time in the city, is there any place you could suggest as a decent place to stay?" Min hadn't stopped moving as Lin spoke to Shenji, he had removed the new saddle with a smooth set of motions. Despite its size and construction it didn't weigh him down in the slightest, he did give a small grunt as he took up the saddlebag. side conversation: Sophitia and Serenity both had lost their composure the moment they arrived in this beautiful country. Saucered eyed at all the differences between this lands architecture and the land they had only left behind a few hours age. She snapped out of her daze and dismounted, whispering over her shoulder to Min. "Is this what you do everyday?"
Min chuckled and then shrugged. "Not everyday, sometimes we fight dragons, demons' invade volcanoes and battle armies. Pretty fast paced, standard stuff, however apparently today though I'm the mount. Hopefully Lin doesn't send me to the stables." He gave her a wink as she looked back at Serenity. Sophitia looked blown away, Min's explanation left her even more shocked as to what the Skyknights faced. The young paladin looked like she was in way over her head as she pulled the saddle off her companion.
Lin was on her feet, this form of fear was unknown to her and was completely alien in regards to her Riders way of thinking. Whatever had caused this fear was powerful indeed and she couldn't help but ready for combat. She looked to the children that were still in the quad and looked readily towards where Min and the others were. The Bond: {Min are you...} She paused in mid sentence as Min's voice weakly echoed through the bond.
"I'm fine, just wait in the Quad there is nothing you can do Vaera. This is my mess and I plan on cleaning it up, so just listen in and don't interrupt please. I think that Tanner didn't just doom the Lionhearts, he doomed those that even try to help them in any direct way..."
I'm broke.... I will never live it down. I am a hoardless dragon D:
Lin nods her great head to Mai, clearly relieved to be rid of the burden of so many items, smiling at him warmly. "I agree, if it helps our cause then do what you think is best, I shall let him know what has been taken and thank you very much Mai." She watched Mai and Livain move off, smiling the entire time. It is good to have forward thinkers in our ranks, very good indeed. She turned her head back to the children then, smiling warmly as she settled back down into the grass on the Quad. She kept her voice to a low rumble as she asked them simply. "Have you ever touched a dragons scales?" Depending on their answers she proffers her exposed side. "You can if you wish to, come, I don't bite." She remains warm and friendly despite the monstrous appearance of these Children, if Min hadn't liked them then she may have had a different opinion. For now though it was amusing to have such an awed audience. She shared a knowing smile with Brook, who was just getting over the awe of her new size, and Sarish who was still staring despite himself.
Sounds good to me if Mai and Liv wanted to sell the items. :) it gives Lin more time for unbrainwashing the children lol! ;)
Lin watches her rider strangely as well, the conversation in the bond had thrown her off balance and simply nods at Aylaeth's words. She focused intensely, sending her thoughts to her distracted rider and Min merely nods in mid stride as he continues on to the library. "He knows, do not worry about the children I will watch over them and Brook wil be as well. Also don't let Min distract you, he's just focused on the task Damian set for him and sadly he's not as scholarly as you are Lady Aylaeth." She looks to Aylaeth and gives her a toothy smile as she rumbled with laughter. "He will most likely be lost still by the time you reach the library, he'd prefer tracking in a blizzard over that any day." She wanted to know what had happened, because something stirred in her rider now. Something she believed was long gone... After Aylaeth departs she turns to Damian and bows her head to their noble Captain. "It is good to see you Captain Damian." She knew that if he needed her to do something he would ask. Looking to Brook and the young monster children she gave them all a toothy grin. "You children behave and listen to Brook now."
Seeing the crestfallen look on Brooks face she brings a massive claw and lifts his chin, just enough to look him the eyes and rumble softly. "Be strong, this will only be for a short time. You will not be far from my heart little one and Damian is right, where we go is far more dangerous now. You and Sarish perform your duties well. Now keep an eye on these little ones and I will return shortly."
Yikes lol! Poor Brooke, he's a tough kid and he still has Min and Lin to watch out for him as well. Looking forward to the change and I'm sure Min is going to have to step it up even more or I'm sure he will fall out of favor with their changed Captain. =/
Lin nodded in agreement with Min's statement, while simultaneously looking at the three bound children behind him. "Welcome to Stormfare little ones and who might you three be, hmm?" She reaches to snip the rope with her claws but doesn't get far before Min swats her massive claw with his hand. "I will untie them just don't scare them off..." Lin rumbled as she chuckled at Min's comment and watched the many children curiously. Gnolls, Kobolds and Orcling's, such an interesting collection and their stares were completely adorable to her. "I don't think they will go far. Will you?" The last part she addressed to the closest children mainly the three Min was untying.
Wow how auto correct hates me..... Replace Filthy Grin with TOOTHY grin. I don't think Lin is capable of a filthy grin. :p Maybe if there was elk stuck in her teeth. :)
Lin gave Belsarious a filthy grin as she responded. "This is the only bond I have known of, if it anything like our bond then you spend a lot of time thinking back and forth. She looked to the artifact in his hands. "What can you discern from that strange object? Dantoor thought it was important enough to give to us."
LOL nope it isn't hence why Lin is a very confused dragoness. Because that was an Odd question.
Physical intimacies? Lin contemplated that for all of a second before it hit her like a stone to the head and for a long moment she said nothing at all as she gathered her wits. So much was shared across the bond that it was hard to explain with a few words. Finally she nodded slowly, speaking a lot quieter then normal as she was not quite sure what it was he was asking. "Emotions are shared across the bond when we are close together, at a distance I can feel how he is physically. But not emotionally... It is difficult to explain. If he stands free of whatever is disrupting the bond I could point in his direction without fail, I could find him anywhere in this world."
in looked at Belsarious and tilted her massive head, she had felt the bond awaken a couple of times but...
Merry meet again, Meleth, stay safe my rider. She knew the thought would not reach him as the bond had been inert for too long. It did make her feel better though. "I'm not sure, I felt something, I know he is alive and well at least... More then that I cannot tell Belsarious. Without the Tapestries their return will be delayed, perhaps they are unable to return because of the creature the Izmirians spoke of." Noticing the placement of the sun and remembering her own oath she looked back at Belsarious. "Let us continue though, if they return I will be pleasantly surprised."
Lin gives a snort of laughter at the witch Belsarious being browbeaten by the usually less vocal Tora'an. "I had forgotten about you Bel! So deep in the tomes you were..." She nods to Tora'an and in one smooth stride is standing next to Belsarious with the saddlebag aimed towards him. "There is a map tube in the side pocket there and an artifact of interest That Dantoor gave us in the halls beneath the city. Perhaps you can decipher more of it." The scroll from Dantoor actually contains a small metal artifact. It has arcane characters in it that center around divinatory magic, and gives off a very weak aura of the same kind of magical energy, as well. In his note, Dantoor writes; Lin, Tora'an, I got this charm from an old Gnoll who came here from the south, from the Bay of Katapesh. He lives above the bar called "Charna" and claims it will lead you directly to one of the "Items" you seek. He warns you, though, that it is protected by one of the Three Great Red Dragons; Felltouch. Good Luck, and I look forward to our next meeting. -- Dantoor "Perhaps we could hunt down this Gnoll? Although I won't be able to do much to help..." She indicates her massive size with a smooth roll of her powerful shoulders and flexes her great wingspan. Easily towering over Belsarious now that she had increased in size, she couldn't wait to shock Min with the changes he missed.
Lin stands her ground in the quad, entertaining the various student who stop and marvel at the appearance of a huge and sparkling silver dragon in the middle of their University. She entertains them all, answering questions and flexing her wingspan for the more... scholarly among the students. As strange as it was to have her wingspan and claws measured, she found it harmless and enjoyed being insightful to some at least...
Belsarious your still in Stormfare and your posts should be in the Legacy thread again. The crossover is over.... For now. :) DRA posted that a few days ago now, but yeah everything is in Legacy and these guys are on their way to lands unknown
Roger that boss! Good luck everyone, see you again sometime! :D
Na, you guys are strong enough and trust me Lin may be big but she isn't a full dragon. :) She is setup by the dragonrider class to be a strong mount but she doesn't have all the abilities of normal dragons. She has quite a few abilities but none that would be worth the hassle of taking her along, well... Except her ability to fly I guess. lol :) If you guys need her though I'm game. lol
A full silver dragon can. The dragonrider steed cannot. It doesn't gain that ability naturally. Through spells she can, so long as they are fasted by Min but he's not here. :)
lol I was wondering if you were giving Lin some pay back! :) You trundled off with the others and I was like "Well... I deserve that. xD"
I guess Belsarious is still in the library? I thought he came out into the quad... Lol
*Pokes Belsarious* Strange artifact for you too examine~ lol
The deck became non magical when the jester died, I remember someone casting detect magic and the cards no longer gave an aura. Seems like there was a link. :/
Lin snorts loudly at the mere mention of the alchemist but keeps her opinions to herself. She does however call out to Jorzan as he walks away. How does the boy fair? The one who was... Changed? I hope he will survive this ordeal, if he is destined not to the Alchemist has to answer for. The last words were said in a growl and her chest rumbled with each word, shaking the earth slightly and causing those near her to sway.
Lin gives a snort of laughter at the wild, dust covered witch. "I had forgotten about you Bel! So deep in the tomes you were..." She nods to Tora'an and in one smooth stride is standing next to Belsarious with the saddlebag aimed towards him. "There is a map tube in the side pocket there and an artifact of interest That Dantoor gave us in the halls beneath the city. Perhaps you can decipher more of it." The scroll from Dantoor actually contains a small metal artifact.

Lenny can rot, and if he escapes my fangs will find him. T.T Cretin deserves a solid crushing blow, he doesn't need to walk or move, as long as I don't break his jaw he'll do fine. Hmmmm. I assumed the metal object was for the Skyknights. Maybe I was wrong... Derp! >.<;
LOL A crack has appeared in DMDRA's armor! ATTACK! CAPTURE HIS SECRETS! >:) J/k ;D
Lin nods in thanks to Hurin, clearly relieved to have the item in a more secure place. She didn't want to hurt the Dwarf's feelings either as she planned on going as quick as she could across the land and avoiding what enemies that she could. "As much as it would be an interesting flight with company I don't think it would be enjoyable. The trip will take many days, of which I plan to be flying hard, fast and avoiding threats if i'm able. I think one of your talents would be better suited here, on the ground and fighting with similarly skilled allies." She leans her head back and thinks on if they had seen any dwarven artifacts and after a few moments she shakes her head sadly. "None that I can remember, we did visit an old dwarven redoubt that had housed the Lionheart Cavalier's at some point and appeared to be a massive place, we never quite finished clearing it out..."
Lol meta gaming train Jesus! X-D Now to plan out my flight path, unless something comes up. 24 hours until this silver dragon bugs out at Mach 2. :)
Damn nice haul you guys! :)
@DRA: yeah I saw that, I was thinking for somereason the Lestho was closer. But then I remembered it was past Haelith and was like 'oh.... Right. S*#$.' Lol But at least she could make it within a month, maybe. Round trip would be a month which I'm sure the Skyknights will be back by then. But we will see.
In Lin's sudden rise in wisdom she hadn't noriced the Dwarf Hurin had been talking to her. She looked down and nodded to him. "Apologies master dwarf and in answer to your question, I do plan on an extended journey if my rider doesn't show up soon. I however cannot feel him, which has never happened before but I am confident he is not dead." I would have felt is passing... Wouldn't I? "I am sure he would be interested in meeting you, especially if you have knowledge of the Forgelands, he is... Well, was a mapmaker and likes to learn of new places. As for accompanying your group I believe I would be more of a hindrance as I am far too large to not be noticed." She gave the dwarf a toothy smile before settling back down and continuing waiting in the Quad. "However if there is something I can do I am more then willing to do so." It is then she remembered Dantoors message, and the small metal trinket they'd received. She looked to Hurin with an odd expression. "Master Hurin do you mind setting this inside the map case in the bags? I'd be most appreciative." She proffers the item with the tips of her large claws. "Best to wear gloves though. I don't think it dangerous but magic is a wily thing~"
I was pretty sure he said the bond was inert or something along those lines, I will double check lol Sorry Hurin! Missed you again. :(
Probably not on the saddle/bags thing lol, I need magical ones eventually~ Also the link has no range at level 2 the dragonrider and their bonded both know direction, condition and health of each other so long as they are on the same plane of existence. No range is mentioned. That's why in Izmir when Lin was at the Eyrie and Min was at the library hundreds of feet away. Min was able to point right in her direction. It's like the bodyguard bond for the mages in Wheel of time. :)
Lin looks to Tora'an and nods in agreement with his words. "I will give them another day, beyond that though I will not remain idle for their return. I cannot feel Min, if he was on this plane I would be able to feel a pulse in the bond, he could call me to his side with the power of the bond. Yet, there is nothing. Besides I made a promise to deliver a message from a besieged city to Lestho and now I have time to do it. If I fly hard and true I can reach them within a fortnight. I will not squander what little time I have." She remains holding her head high, voice unwavering, as she was not the same since the change. She had grown and in that change she had grown stronger, faster and wiser then she used to be. |
