Einar quickly frees himself and then might enjoy the sugary explosion in his mouth, he does gain the energy boost and possibly more. Velerait comes over and licks his hand and smiles at Einar, "See Bazizz, we need to make the knots harder to get out of..." The cat jumps off Einar as he begins to squirm and rubs against Velerait before hiding under Jellena's chair.
Then the other sword transforms as well into another draconic form. Excitedly it says, "Trust us we will watch for threats so you may get the rest you need."
Splashing mostly just for the fun of it the snake like dragon enjoys the water and waits for food to be tossed to it or brought. Lightly nipping anyone who passes without giving him a token of passage, food.
The other dragon enjoys the water a bit more of splashing before answering, "And I am Velerait." Overall this water dragon appears lazy and greedy as he tries to eat everything. Seeing Frank and then the others come in he splashes them with a small stream of water and happily splashes himself.
"Shall I fly to the top and watch to see if any try to escape, then I can let you know which way?" He offers speaking to the group but looking at Arsil.
The dragon waits for the agents and the spy master to leave. Once gone he gets into one of the corners and rolls up for a snooze. He double checks that Rai Zon is standing guard and then quickly begins to snore.
He whispers to the group once King and his agents leave, "The magical site must be rather important for Drow to keep and protect it."
The dragon easily rests his head on the table as he sits on the ground. After Rai renews his Oath he nods his head in response. He slowly takes bites out of the pig flank in front of it. He looks over at Arsil and kindly says, "It is what we search for but I think we can wait.
Arsil: "I will be amused with this place for quite a while. I feel as if there is a power source nearby but it is likely under lock and key. If you can persuade the owner to let us check it out that would be great." He says happily, just enjoying the dragonesque building.
The dog sized dragon shakes its head to Arsil as the group walks. Arsil: "I do not know, but perhaps the new appearance is he transformed, otherwise it would have attacked our horses."
"He is his own being, I trusted his soul and demeanor when I was trapped but now he has power and that can change someone. Faeryl if you are stealthy it might be best if you go, after all you had the vision, you might notice a cue from your vision." The dragon offers.
"Ah yes, as I had hoped! We have been lucky." He replies happily to Arsil.
The dragon the size of a dog walks forward on all fours and states, "Augment all my abilities, don't worry I have a plan." Then it walks into the portal soon to return the size of a large wolf (medium size). "Ah yes that was great!" He states in a more normal voice than the previous tiny shrill, then aimed at the Draconicon, "Please follow us once you are done here." He then follows Locke.
The little dragon comes out of Arsil's pack and goes up to the green pool and takes a drink out of it, then asks a question, "May I take a dip in your pool that I may absorb some magic from your pool?" After being given permission the dragon backs up a few steps before rushing forward and jumping into the pool. Bursting light emits from the pool and after a few minutes the dragon emerges the size of a golden retriever, it was the size of a house cat before.
To Arsil, still whispering in Draconic:
"Yes, the draconican." At Rai Zon's suggestion the little dragon slips its head back under the backpack flap.
A little dragon head pops out of Arsil's backpack and whispers to Arsil. Arsil or Perception DC12: "Are you going to take some time in the secret room possibly return a favor to that poor wretch?"
Arsil, Locke and Reth before the portal opens...: "You can make a new name for me if you wish or go by my original name which most mortals of my time have died." Says the little dragon. Then answering Arsil's question, "Not much which I can do now in this form. You could find a soul binding veil and that should secure the spirit to the item."
"Yes, yes I think you should," He says in his now small chirpy voice.
He brings his head down and says, "bring your forehead to mine and take hold of one of my horns." A massive wave of power goes over Reth as he follows the instructions the new or old horn breaks off in your hand and the power you asked for is now yours to command. The dragon is a quarter of his previous size. The same happens to Arsil and then Locke. Thus leaving the dragon the size of a large house cat.
The claw deposits Reth to his allies and waits for the rites to be done. The dragon takes the bodies and deposits them in holes that it had dug up. Then it asks, "What ability will you choose then Arsil? Then Reth and finally Locke."
The dragon offers up its massive claw and says, "Reth you may climb aboard or just deposit the flask. I can pose as your familiar. I can also bury your allies if you want?"
"I know many things, though the human seems to be in congress with a water spirit and blessed by the elves. Ah a human Aasimar, I see it now. Shifter it is not the smell but your auras that I am reading. The female is definitively elf. Would you prefer me to call you by your names? Please introduce yourselves once more if that is your wish." He waits a moment for you each to introduce yourselves then continues, "First does one of you have acid or a magical spell that can produce it? Then you each choose a power. I will give you each one of my horns, finally I will revert to my youngling form."
The dragon adjusts how he is sitting and responds to Arsil, "Yes as long as you exist in this world, I will be for you. Selling my knowledge only to good. I shall help each of you with one of your personal goals." Then he nods to Locke before answering his question, "Yes that is correct. Likely seven sites of magic. I can bestow several abilities including a cone breath weapon of electricity,
"Ah it seems even now warlord Kriss Tek has become unrestful, he has turned undead likely. He might be a champion or a wight, no he couldn't be... possibly a morgh though I doubt it. No he would not be a liche or anything more powerful than a morgh, just a fighter and barbarian in his days." He responds to Arsil and coughs then clears his throat before answering Reth, "As you know I am a time dragon and in my slumber I see the threads. What I did not want to tell you pertains to your future. Shifter I have seen where you all take paths that will destroy. Perhaps the best thing I can say is stay true to one another. My own agenda has always been but in my past I have had dealings with the the good and evil. I could make a promise to sell my services to only good during your lifetimes, I am patient and willing to tip the scales in your favor as you say. I will already be tipping the scales to empower you."
"There would be several magical sites or sources before I could age enough to be on my own. I would not be able to retrieve my first power until we find a magical source. My agenda is simple to know. I only wish to garner more knowledge. I use my knowledge to feed my treasure trove, I sell my knowledge. The corpse that sealed himself in the reanimating room is a friend of sorts, he stopped the warlord from living again and put a stop to my torture. He could not take my torture and put an end to them all. The skeleton is a warlord of death and blood, a servant of Tiamut. Though without his priests he could not be reanimated. The draconicon poisoned the priests before sealing himself into the room." He says taking pauses to be as precise as he could. Sense Motive DC 25: You believe the dragon is speaking the truth but he is not telling something, likely something important.
The dragon responds to Reth's question, "I was tricked into this place by the draconicons that worshiped Tiamut here. I really don't want to go into my fall. I am a time dragon but my powers have been repressed. We time dragons typically have our own agendas watching the threads of time. Aligning ourselves with those who match our agendas for as short a time as possible. Let me tell you what will need be done to get me out. I will need acid to burn what binds me here, then to remove the runes I will need to revert to a younger form. I seek your protection more than anything else during that time. You each may ask for something of mine to borrow until I grow into an older form." |
