XP/RP for Tues Aug 2nd 2011 FG GAME SESSION 24, part 1, draug, Rin
Again, my apologies for the long delay getting XP and RP to you
... see
whatifdragonlancedm.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=sessionrecaps&action=display&thread=885
for an explanation why... as usual feel free to skim down to the part of this thread with just your name on it and read that part , otherwise you're in for a long read
This is a bit unusual in that I had to split it into two parts , apparently the thread was too long for even proboards to handle ... Draug and Rin's XP and RP are on part 1, Serinda, Udyr and Zane's XP and RP are in part 2 of this thread 
..
DRAUG
500 xp per PC for wights with arrows that were energy/level draining Zane and Udyr in skullcap
300 xp for reasoning with four dwarven bog-ghosts instead of fighting them just outside of skullcap
200 xp per PC for making right choice (retreating from skeletons) begging you to find their gold circlets and free them
100 xp for good role playing
403 RP for good role playing
There were so many times that Draug made me laugh out loud after reading the chat log that I lost track of it - AWESOME job RP'ing as always... you're still paying close attention to both what the other PC's say and what's going on in the environment around Draug and I love you for it
.. plus remembering what's happened in previous FG game sessions and commenting on it - that's awesome , a lot of players I've gamed with in other FG campaigns either can't remember it or don't bother to , so Draug is very much so ahead of the pack (pun intended ) ...
Many many examples I could go into but to list a few... below Draug recounts why Serinda and Rin are upset with Draug and Forman (back when the monk was with us) when Udyr starts demanding to know what happened in his absence and in his usual Draug way does a hilarious job of recapping it AND makes comments on the tendency of Serinda's race of elven people (Silvanesti)'s attempts to forcibly civilize Draug's people (the Kagonesti), AND tells Serinda to just start relaxing and not be so uptight - PC to PC interaction, wonderful stuff
Udyr: If "they" try something, what are YOU TALKINGABOUT!
Zane: It's a long story Udyr, I'll tell you on the way to Skullcap
Zane: Or Draug can, he was there
Zane walks over to Serinda, "You will have help this time if they try something.."
Draug: "Oh Serinda that one time thing. NO happen no more.... Monk bad influence on Draug see. Draug no like that no more."
Udyr: If "they" try something, what are YOU TALKINGABOUT!
Rin chuckles. "Yeah we were sampling the fine beverages of the hill dwarves."
Udyr: I don't care about it! but the Silanesti is judging me on something the other did! There she goes again!
Draug: "Funny story! hehehe Well me and Monk you see. We uh how you say beat dwarf man senseless. I pull arm out rin heal him. We only do that so we show dwarf gods be back you see. Them dwarf be really stubborn you know."
Draug: "Oh wait even more funny I make big dwarf fall in Wollf shit bahahahahaha"
Draug: "Oh wait even more funny I make big dwarf fall in Wollf shit bahahahahaha "
Serinda: "You feel yourself included in every 'they'? You weeren't even there..."
Serinda sighs
Serinda: "Yes... Hilarious... Let's just get going."
Rin: "So glad I got those barrles of the stuff. Never know when a stiff drink will come in handy
Draug: "You need admit Princess. It real funny"
Udyr: Yet you are jugde all humans on that act, that i was not present for?
Draug: "If you see Dragon army fall in shit you laugh no?"
Campaign saved.
Zane begins to hold his head again..
Serinda: "I am not that easily amused.."
Zane (muttering): I really need to find some plants for headaches.
Draug: "What make you laugh princess?"
Draug: "Civilizing people? bahahaha"
Rin pulls out a tankard of ale from his bag and holds it out to Zane. "Here I'm thinking you could sue one... or possibly ten."
Serinda considers that for a long moment, and then shrugs, as she can't really think of anything that makes her laugh
Serinda: "That's not important now.."
Udyr: GRRRRAAAHHHH!, EVERYONE BE QUIET!!!!! LET"S JUST GO! LETS DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE!!!
Zane grabs the tankard and downs it.
Draug: "I joke princess I joke. you see youe so serious. Why so serious Princess?"
Zane: Could be better, but lets get moving
Serinda: "Someone has to be..."
Draug realizes they havent moved in a whil "Why we not walk and talk we not that stupid are we? We no can multitask?"
Serinda shrugs and summons a whole progression of horses, one for each person.
Rin chuckles and takes the tankard back. "So then... Shall we ride on?" (
Draug hops upon the horse "I shall call you woody!" Drauyg exclaims happily with a collosal grin upon his face
Got a big laugh out of the marshmellow stuff - so much so it inspired me to do a thread on the forum as you've already seen/read , feel free to just assume Draug was able to harvest the stuff and also feel free to ask dragon-breath Zane to roast a few of them for you if you like
There are bogs you'll have to travel through that surround
Skullcap - clouds of vapor rise from the warm surface of these
marshes, filling the area with a thick, chilling fog. Tall
brown reeds clog the landscape, blocking sight any farther
than a few dozen feet.
Draug: "Draug try huff and puff fog away?"
Draug: "Anyone see marshmallow? Draug hear you find marshmallow in bog?"
Rin looks to Draug. "What the hell is a marshmallow?"
Draug: "I hear it big white puffy thing maybe sweet too." Draug licks his lips
Loved the commentary on the dwarves here, both Draug's comment about not wanting to make princess Serinda sad and also the commentary about how Draug offers to interject with his fist
(everyone aside from Udyr - Something shimmers into view .. a transparent gray colored thing that might have looked like a dwarf in life.. if dwarves were able to walk around with gaping holes in their chest where their heart and lungs used to be.. another then another shimmers into view until four of the ghost things surround you ... they point in the direction you were heading to begin with (Skullcap) and moan in Dwarven (meaning only Rin and Serinda understand what they're actually saying) " BEGONE outsiders ! Disturb our rest no longer.. this is dwarf land - you do NOT belong here " ... even if you can't understand their words you understand the fear well enough.. a supernatural thing that sends irrational waves of terror running through your veins even as you struggle against it )
Draug: "These bad guys Princess, me no want to hurt more dwarf to make princess sad."
Serinda: "We've not come to seek Riches or to take your things. We were send here by dwarves themselves. We will not take anything that belongs to you, nor disrespect your people."
Serinda: "... we really need to get past.. It's a matter of great importance, to all races, including the future of the dwarves."
" How sssssooooooo........ elf ? " One of the ghosts glares at Serinda
Rin: "Might I interject her Serinda?"
Draug: "Or do Draug interject with fist?"
Draug readies his bow arrow notched and pointing towards the groun "No want no accidental discharge" he thought
Zane: Un-knock the arrow Draug.. It's not like that weapon would do anything anyway..
here you take note of how miraculous Rin's healing is and comment on it, something the other players are forgetting to do I think given this kind of magical / divine healing has been brand new and unseen for the past 350 years - great stuff ! And loved the shooting the apple off the princess's head joke:
The ghost warrior's head snaps towards Rin .. " LIAR ! The goooooooods have abandoned ussssssss ! " Rin realizes the ghosts died about 50 years after the Cataclysm - soon enough after the gods leaving the world for the dwarves to remember the event..
Zane: Un-knock the arrow Draug.. It's not like that weapon would do anything anyway..
Rin: "I am not lying and I can prove it. I really do hate doing this."
ghost warrior: " Whyyyyyyyyy ? Whyyyyy have they returnnnneeeeed noooooowwwwww? Prove iiiiiiiiit ! "
Rin rakes his claw arcoss his arm letting his blood drip to the ground. "You'd thing I'd get used to this. Now watch." Rin hols hid habnd over his arm wound as a light shines from underneath. When he pulls his hand away his arm is healed.
Draug: "Draug never get tired o taht Rin so cool it is."
Draug: (elven) "Why do you always have to be right Zane? Want to switch (bows)? My aim is probablly better than yours." replies Draug with his tongue sticking out jokingly
Zane: I doubt your (bow and arrow) aim is better..
Zane: We'd have to test that sometime..
Draug: We try sometime yes
Draug: shoot apple od Princess head?
Zane: No.. probably not the best test.. I don't want to be frozen solid..
Zane: And good job Rin.. hate fighing the undead.. takes to long to kill them the second time
Serinda: "Maybe you can ask Laurana... Now let's get going.."
Got a big laugh out of Draug's comment about women (such as Serinda) and their tendency to ask for directions
Serinda: "We met some dwarves..."
Draug: "The elf woman stop for directions"
Rin: "We had to ask them for directions."
Zane: And I had to pee.
Zane: Sorry..
Udyr: Gah... I don't like this place, let's get this over with.
Draug notices Serinda's magical abilities and goes WHOAH that's cool - again noticing the other PC's special abilities and commenting on it, awesome stuff ! Most players forget to do that
Draug: "You can fly?!"
Serinda: "I can.."
Udyr looks up at the eye's of the structure, "I could do it more easily." Then shifts into an eagle and flies up to the eye landing, looking into the opening.
Draug: "How!?"
Draug: "Your bones no hollow
Serinda: "By magic..."
Zane walks up the path, putting the rope away in the process.
Draug follows Serinda up "I must aquire this magic"
Similar situation here with Draug noticing Udyr's magical abilities again , awesome stuff - and got a big laugh out of the "eyes cooler than mouth" comment - and commenting on the dwarf village even though that happened a few FG game sessions ago, marvelous attention to detail
Rin chuckles and starts to chant. A long ribbon like path of shadow extends upwards toward the eyes of skullcap. "So whose first? Oh and we should proably move quickly it doesn't last long." Having said that Rin hops onto the path and start to walk on it at a rahter fast pace
Serinda shrugs and follows Rin up the walkway
Udyr reaches into his bag, pulls out a small coin in his fist, he whispers a few words then opens his hand and a bright light comes from the coin, he then tosses it down the eye hole.
Draug: "Cool trick Udyr!"
Serinda: "Why did we decide the eyes were the best place of entrance again?..."
Draug: "I thought eye cooler than mouth"
Rin: "So who wants to dive in first?"
Zane: I'll go..
Udyr pushes Rin forward into the eye hole, "You have a torch, go ahead, lead the way."
Serinda: "Why can't we ever go somewhere nice..."
Zane: Most of the nice places are overrun by the dragon army..
Zane: That's probably why..
Rin: "I dunno I thought the Dwarven village was nice."
Serinda: "Yeah... It was before we came..."
Zane: That's true..
Draug: "Darf village mean to Draug. Draug no like it."
Zane: Shall we find out what here?
Udyr: Let's get this over with! What are we looking for?
Draug: "Can't you scry map Serinda much easier no?"
Serinda: "Not without something to go on.. i'd need an item that belonged to those dwarves.."
Draug yells (elven) "Hey serinda can you use javelins and armor to scry the dwarves?"
Serinda: "If their owners were still alive... It'd be easy... The problem is we're looking for relatives.. distant cousins..."
Amazing memory here about the draconians you've fought turning into stone, that was many FG game sessions ago yet you still remembered and commented on it - very, very impressive
" Hey neat trick ! " the dragon says , a tone of pleasant surprise in his voice as he looks at Udyr ... wait WHAT ? ! ? " The dragon's tone finally turns serious as he listens to Rin and Serinda ... " Wait.. what do you mean by wild mage? Wild magic? Chaos magic? " Finally serious, Blaize turns a large eye on Rin
blaize the brass dragon: " And what's a 'draconian ' ? "
Rin: "Yeah some weird guy became one. He's been told he cold take the test."
Draug: "piece o meat ill neva eat bthats what"
Serinda: "We're not entirely sure.... Some kind of... half-man half-dragon, but not like zane.... they seem to be made with dark magic.... "
Zane: Definately not like me..
Rin nods. "Yeah they are really odd."
Draug: they turn stone before i get bite so annoyuing;=
" Huh.. Test as in Tower of High Sorcery huh ? Strange there hasn't been a chaos-magic mage for thousands of years even taking the 300 years I was gone into account... wait Takhisis is BREEDING half dragons ? " Blaize sounds PISSED...
Zane: Yes.. they are.. I don't know why they are gold, copper, and brass scaled but they are..
Remembering and commenting on Darlatan, silver dragon who's a folk hero of Draug's kagonesti people - AMAZINGLY good recall , that is SO impressive
The dragon points at Zane then interrupts himself again sniffing at Draug " That's wierd you smell like... dog or something... do you want a bone? Tell you what next horse I eat I'll save the bones for you - hell
I'll even give you some of the meat ! What do you say?
Draug: (elven) "I would much like that Mr Brass Dragon sir. Say do you know a Dragon by the name of Darlantan?"
Draug: (Sylvan) "As do I......... "Do you think there is it at all any possibility I can become a Dragon rider like Kagonos?"
The dragon points at Zane then interrupts himself again sniffing at Draug " That's wierd you smell like... dog or something... do you want a bone? Tell you what next horse I eat I'll save the bones for you - hell
I'll even give you some of the meat ! What do you say?
Draug: (elven) "I would much like that Mr Brass Dragon sir. Say do you know a Dragon by the name of Darlantan?"
And then you've got the Draug jokes below, great stuff.. I practically fell over laughing at the forest comment when I re-read it , the "appear to miss" comment too
" Wish I could dog-friend... I need to get to the dragon isles and find out what the fuck was going on pardon my language" the dragon nods at Serinda .. " Hey tell me what your names are ? Especially THAT one I want to know where to find him so I can bug him some more " the dragon points a claw at Udyr, glee in his voice.
Serinda: "My name is Serinda, of Silvanesti..."
Draug: (elven) "That sir is Ud errrr not Ooooooh Deeer its Ud errrrr"
Draug: (elven) "Yes but remember its pronounced Utter like a cow's utter not Ewww Deer
Rin slowly stands and brushing himself off. "Don't take his yelling personally. I think that's like the only way he can speak."
Draug: "To be fair it very loud in forest"
Draug: "So what now guys?"
Draug: "Dance party?"
Draug realizes they havent moved in a whil "Why we not walk and talk we not that stupid are we? We no can multitask?"
Zane: You missed..
Zane: Or did you?
Draug: pfft i never miss ZANE
Draug: I make appear i miss to surprise target
Loved how Draug immediately got concerned with Udyr being hurt and started hollering about it - again, showing attention to your fellow PC's that most players forget, great stuff !
Udyr Predator quickly shifts into the form of a wolf, darting out of reach of the dragon.
Udyr quickly shifts into the form of a wolf and darts as fast as he can out of the room, with his injured limbs.
Zane: What the hell happened to you? (
You all (except Rin) see a wolf dart out of the room Udyr was just in - not Draug as a wolf btw ... bleeding heavily from 3 of his limbs,limping..
The arrows are gone, having fallen out of Udyr's hide when he changed form...
Draug yellls "What happened udyr!!!!"
Zane looks at the bleeding wolf next to him..
Draug yelling more "ZAne what happened?"
Serinda turns to glance at the wolf too, and frowns, wondering what happened, and if it is indeed Udyr, whether or not he started whatever fight he got into
Zane: Hell if I know.. I don't speak Wolf
Draug: "Arwararroooo arwarooo arwooooo howl;ll"
Serinda turns to glance at the wolf too, and frowns, wondering what happened, and if it is indeed Udyr, whether or not he started whatever fight he got into
Udyr shift back to his human form, and holds his hand over his arm wound, and closes his eyes from a breiif moment as a green light radiates from his hand.
Udyr points over at the undead creatures.
And I love the descriptive way you mention how Draug changes shape
Draug bodys fades from existance and is replaced by a hulking wolf hybrid eager to take down any challenge infront of him.
RIN
500 xp per PC for wights with arrows that were energy/level draining Zane and Udyr in skullcap
300 xp for reasoning with four dwarven bog-ghosts instead of fighting them just outside of skullcap
200 xp per PC for making right choice (retreating from skeletons) begging you to find their gold circlets and free them
90 xp for good role playing
260 RP for good role playing
Thought Rin was a bit more quiet than normal this FG game session, not sure if you're still feeling a bit under the weather? .. if so hope you get better soon ... if you're trying to step out of the spotlight to let it shine on other PC's - well that's the very sweet, self sacrificing sort of behavior I'm come to expect from you but trust me, Rin being his usual outrageous self makes the game that much more fun for everyone .... not to say you did a bad job RP'ing by any means, great as usual ! For example not only remembering the dwarven ale from a few FG game sessions ago but using it to interact with a fellow PC (Zane), great stuff !
Udyr: If "they" try something, what are YOU TALKINGABOUT!
Zane: It's a long story Udyr, I'll tell you on the way to Skullcap
Zane: Or Draug can, he was there
Zane walks over to Serinda, "You will have help this time if they try something.."
Draug: "Oh Serinda that one time thing. NO happen no more.... Monk bad influence on Draug see. Draug no like that no more."
Udyr: If "they" try something, what are YOU TALKINGABOUT!

Draug: "Oh wait even more funny I make big dwarf fall in Wollf shit bahahahahaha"
Draug: "Oh wait even more funny I make big dwarf fall in Wollf shit bahahahahaha "
Serinda: "You feel yourself included in every 'they'? You weeren't even there..."
Serinda sighs
Serinda: "Yes... Hilarious... Let's just get going."
Rin: "So glad I got those barrles of the stuff. Never know when a stiff drink will come in handy
Draug: "You need admit Princess. It real funny"
Udyr: Yet you are jugde all humans on that act, that i was not present for?
Draug: "If you see Dragon army fall in shit you laugh no?"

Serinda: "That's not important now.."
Udyr: GRRRRAAAHHHH!, EVERYONE BE QUIET!!!!! LET"S JUST GO! LETS DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE!!!
Zane grabs the tankard and downs it.
I liked how you caught the apparent anachronism here (except I liked the idea of marshmellows so much I turned it into a feature of the world of Krynn, see the world information part of the forum if you haven't already .. not sure if a sticky gooey marshmellow would stick rin's beak together or otherwise give him prob's eating it ? )
There are bogs you'll have to travel through that surround
Skullcap - clouds of vapor rise from the warm surface of these
marshes, filling the area with a thick, chilling fog. Tall
brown reeds clog the landscape, blocking sight any farther
than a few dozen feet.
Draug: "Draug try huff and puff fog away?"
Draug: "Anyone see marshmallow? Draug hear you find marshmallow in bog?"
Rin looks to Draug. "What the hell is a marshmallow?"
Draug: "I hear it big white puffy thing maybe sweet too." Draug licks his lips
Serinda slides off her own horse and releases it, letting it fade away into the weave again
As usual Rin is his self-sacrificing self yet approaching the whole thing with humor far as the (rather painful ) way of proving the existence of the gods - though next time in my humble opinion Rin should get in on the Serinda commentary as far as shooting the apple off her head (maybe offering to strike it off her head with his whip instead? ) ..
The ghost warrior's head snaps towards Rin .. " LIAR ! The goooooooods have abandoned ussssssss ! " Rin realizes the ghosts died about 50 years after the Cataclysm - soon enough after the gods leaving the world for the dwarves to remember the event..
Zane: Un-knock the arrow Draug.. It's not like that weapon would do anything anyway..

Draug: shoot apple od Princess head?
Zane: No.. probably not the best test.. I don't want to be frozen solid..
Zane: And good job Rin.. hate fighing the undead.. takes to long to kill them the second time
Serinda: "Maybe you can ask Laurana... Now let's get going.."
Loved Rin's comment on skullcap - shows his bardic love of the arts
The mouth-tunnel .... close enough to the ground for you to walk right
into it .. is made of the same smooth obsidian as the
outside of Skullcap. It appears to slope gently for 20 feet
before the angle of the tunnel changes to a 70 degree incline-too
steep and smooth to walk though one could slide down it.
Getting back up the "slide" will not be a matter of simply
walking back upwards on it however - it's far too slippery for that.
There are also two large openings where the "eyes" of the skull are-
though again being able to climb far enough up the slippery obsidian to
get a closer look at the "eye openings " may present a problem..
Rin stares at skull cap. "That is quite the sight isn't it? If it weren't for the way it was made I'd say it would be considered art."
Wonderful flavor text as far as Rin's spells
Rin chuckles and starts to chant. A long ribbon like path of shadow extends upwards toward the eyes of skullcap. "So whose first? Oh and we should proably move quickly it doesn't last long." Having said that Rin hops onto the path and start to walk on it at a rahter fast pace
loved the other reference to his bardic nature here, his decision to scold whoever's doing that horrid singing .. though in my humble opinion would have loved to see Rin prove Serinda right and start flirting with the dragon or make a humorous comment to Serinda in return or something like that when Serinda makes her wry observation about Rin below
(when brass dragon starts to sing kender song) Rin looks around as he hers some horrid singing. He'd better go scold who ever that is
(brass dragon says) Hey it's a kenku ! I haven't seen one of those in AGES !" The dragon peers eagerly
at Rin then frowns " You're not one of the bad ones though are you? And if you are , are these your
slaves? Maybe that one's your slave?" the dragon looks at Zane then snaps it's gigantic fingers adding
" No, no , now I remember, you people like BOTH genders.. so is he your sex slave too?" The dragon
points at Zane
Rin looks at the dragon and chuckles. "No I'm nnot one of those bad one's I mean I'm still bad but in a differnt sense of the word. You could say that I also appeal to both gneders aswell though."
Zane: Doesn't appeal to me..
Serinda: "I found it best just to ignore him when he says that... If you say you aren't into birds, he'll only take it as a challenge... just a warning..."
I liked Rin's indignant claim that the dragon isn't as annoying as Rin - a thought? Perhaps in future FG game sessions and/or forum RP have Rin mention this to udyr and deliberately attempt to ignore the big bear-man , perhaps with Rin's puppets? You have to admit someone like Udyr would be an almost irresistible target for Rin's gibes - or am I wrong? ..
" The year ? Hmmm.. we don't measure time the same way you little folk do, doesn't mean as much to us .. um... fifty years after that Cataclysm thing I think ? What do you mean one of my scales here ? " the dragon looks at Zane " What do you mean ? Did I lose a scale? " the dragon looks behind him then looks at Draug " Ok it's a deal I'll save you a bone? Darlantan? Oh HIM " Blaize chuckles " Dead a while ago I'm afraid even we dragons die of old age after a while but wonderful chap and.. hey.. hey.. WAIT a minute ! " The dragon beams looking down at Zane " Nice trick you almost got me .. who's your daddy huh? Who's your daddy ? "
Udyr: GODS, this thing is as annoying as the man-bird!
Rin: "No no it' most certainly is not as annoying aa me."
Zane: Heh.. that would be my dad. You might know him..
Udyr: WHAT?! DRAGON? Udyr looks at Zane, What do you mean dragon in your family?
Draug: "Zane no tell you Udyr?"
Zane: Calm down, Udyr. It's a long story.
Udyr just stands there, getting more and more annoyed by everyone just talking ceaselessly.
The dragon appears to be completely ignoring the gentle hints thrown his way so far about moving along.. he stops, peers to look at Udyr " Hey why does that big guy with the beard look so pissed ? "
Zane looks a little a little saddened when talking about his mother('s death).
Campaign saved.
Rin points a claw at Udyr. "Him oh that's normal for him
Got a chuckle out of how Rin doesn't let on that HE is the first sorcerer in question to walk the world of Krynn in thousands of years
" Hey neat trick ! " the dragon says , a tone of pleasant surprise in his voice as he looks at Udyr ... wait WHAT ? ! ? " The dragon's tone finally turns serious as he listens to Rin and Serinda ... " Wait.. what do you mean by wild mage? Wild magic? Chaos magic? " Finally serious, Blaize turns a large eye on Rin
blaize the brass dragon: " And what's a 'draconian ' ? "
Rin: "Yeah some weird guy became one. He's been told he cold take the test."
Lots to love in the passage below - Rin expresses an in-character curiosity for why the heck the dragons are all different colors , offers to give up some of his loot to help the dragon re-establish his treasure horde (you got mega RP points for that ) , shows the bardic side of him by asking the dragon to show up later on to interview him so Rin can add the records to his bardic college and , most hilariously , the token Rin gives the dragon to be able to find Rin again, very laugh-worthy ...
Udyr: "CAN WE GET BACK TO SEARCH FOR THE MAP?! IM TIRED OF THIS TALK, WHATS THE USE OF TALKING ABOUT THE COLORS OF DRAGONS? DOES THAT HELP US ANY, NO!!! I WANT TO BE RID OF THIS PLACE, LETS GET THE MAP AND LEAVE!
" You're starting to piss me off too " growls the dragon pointing a giant claw at Udyr
Rin: "Well several things but one thing in particular.... Why all the colors? And why metal colors?" Draug: "rather be pissed off than pissed on yes?"
Draug: "Serinda you gotta laugh at that one!"
Blaize opens his mouth to answer the question - then shuts it .. " You know that's a DAMN good question .... not sure .. maybe the metallic colors look prettier ? The colored dragons are mad cause we got the good shades" Blaize beams a smile down at Rin then nods at Draug " Yes, better to be pissed off than pissed on - why did someone piss on you ? "
Serinda: "Not really..."
Serinda: "I don't think the colours are like a concious choice... just how they're born..."
Draug: (elven) "No sir Blaize they just seemed to get annoyed when i piss on them I just try to mark my terrritory is all."
Rin: "Anway, I had other questions but.... Hmm... you think you could find me agian later so we could talk? I could toss you a platimun piece and some tapestries. For your trouble, you know so you cna start youe hoard back up."
Rin: "Well I could give you a tapestry now on the condition you come back soon so I can write all your answers to my questions down. The bardic college would love a wrttien record of an interview wiht a dragon."
Rin walks back to teh room her found the note in. A few secodns later he staps out holding another tapestry which looks like it's wrapped around something. He hold's it out to Blaize. "Now don't peek inside her but you can find me wiht it later oh and becarful it can break pretty easy."
And I got a chuckle out of Rin deciding to dance with the ballroom zombies
Rin sees nothing aside from dancing corpses .. a rotting woman shambles towards Rin ready to dance...
Rin shrugs and starts to dance.
Zane looks back at Rin. "Yeah.. even picking up the undead.."
Again, my apologies for the long delay getting XP and RP to you

for an explanation why... as usual feel free to skim down to the part of this thread with just your name on it and read that part , otherwise you're in for a long read
This is a bit unusual in that I had to split it into two parts , apparently the thread was too long for even proboards to handle
... Draug and Rin's XP and RP are on part 1, Serinda, Udyr and Zane's XP and RP are in part 2 of this thread 
.. DRAUG
500 xp per PC for wights with arrows that were energy/level draining Zane and Udyr in skullcap
300 xp for reasoning with four dwarven bog-ghosts instead of fighting them just outside of skullcap
200 xp per PC for making right choice (retreating from skeletons) begging you to find their gold circlets and free them
100 xp for good role playing
403 RP for good role playing
There were so many times that Draug made me laugh out loud after reading the chat log that I lost track of it - AWESOME job RP'ing as always... you're still paying close attention to both what the other PC's say and what's going on in the environment around Draug and I love you for it
.. plus remembering what's happened in previous FG game sessions and commenting on it - that's awesome , a lot of players I've gamed with in other FG campaigns either can't remember it or don't bother to , so Draug is very much so ahead of the pack (pun intended ) ...Many many examples I could go into but to list a few... below Draug recounts why Serinda and Rin are upset with Draug and Forman (back when the monk was with us) when Udyr starts demanding to know what happened in his absence and in his usual Draug way does a hilarious job of recapping it AND makes comments on the tendency of Serinda's race of elven people (Silvanesti)'s attempts to forcibly civilize Draug's people (the Kagonesti), AND tells Serinda to just start relaxing and not be so uptight - PC to PC interaction, wonderful stuff
Udyr: If "they" try something, what are YOU TALKINGABOUT!
Zane: It's a long story Udyr, I'll tell you on the way to Skullcap
Zane: Or Draug can, he was there
Zane walks over to Serinda, "You will have help this time if they try something.."
Draug: "Oh Serinda that one time thing. NO happen no more.... Monk bad influence on Draug see. Draug no like that no more."
Udyr: If "they" try something, what are YOU TALKINGABOUT!
Rin chuckles. "Yeah we were sampling the fine beverages of the hill dwarves."
Udyr: I don't care about it! but the Silanesti is judging me on something the other did! There she goes again!
Draug: "Funny story! hehehe Well me and Monk you see. We uh how you say beat dwarf man senseless. I pull arm out rin heal him. We only do that so we show dwarf gods be back you see. Them dwarf be really stubborn you know."
Draug: "Oh wait even more funny I make big dwarf fall in Wollf shit bahahahahaha"
Draug: "Oh wait even more funny I make big dwarf fall in Wollf shit bahahahahaha "
Serinda: "You feel yourself included in every 'they'? You weeren't even there..."
Serinda sighs
Serinda: "Yes... Hilarious... Let's just get going."
Rin: "So glad I got those barrles of the stuff. Never know when a stiff drink will come in handy
Draug: "You need admit Princess. It real funny"
Udyr: Yet you are jugde all humans on that act, that i was not present for?
Draug: "If you see Dragon army fall in shit you laugh no?"
Campaign saved.
Zane begins to hold his head again..
Serinda: "I am not that easily amused.."
Zane (muttering): I really need to find some plants for headaches.
Draug: "What make you laugh princess?"
Draug: "Civilizing people? bahahaha"
Rin pulls out a tankard of ale from his bag and holds it out to Zane. "Here I'm thinking you could sue one... or possibly ten."
Serinda considers that for a long moment, and then shrugs, as she can't really think of anything that makes her laugh
Serinda: "That's not important now.."
Udyr: GRRRRAAAHHHH!, EVERYONE BE QUIET!!!!! LET"S JUST GO! LETS DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE!!!
Zane grabs the tankard and downs it.
Draug: "I joke princess I joke. you see youe so serious. Why so serious Princess?"
Zane: Could be better, but lets get moving
Serinda: "Someone has to be..."
Draug realizes they havent moved in a whil "Why we not walk and talk we not that stupid are we? We no can multitask?"
Serinda shrugs and summons a whole progression of horses, one for each person.
Rin chuckles and takes the tankard back. "So then... Shall we ride on?" (
Draug hops upon the horse "I shall call you woody!" Drauyg exclaims happily with a collosal grin upon his face
Got a big laugh out of the marshmellow stuff - so much so it inspired me to do a thread on the forum as you've already seen/read , feel free to just assume Draug was able to harvest the stuff and also feel free to ask dragon-breath Zane to roast a few of them for you if you like
There are bogs you'll have to travel through that surround
Skullcap - clouds of vapor rise from the warm surface of these
marshes, filling the area with a thick, chilling fog. Tall
brown reeds clog the landscape, blocking sight any farther
than a few dozen feet.
Draug: "Draug try huff and puff fog away?"
Draug: "Anyone see marshmallow? Draug hear you find marshmallow in bog?"
Rin looks to Draug. "What the hell is a marshmallow?"
Draug: "I hear it big white puffy thing maybe sweet too." Draug licks his lips
Loved the commentary on the dwarves here, both Draug's comment about not wanting to make princess Serinda sad
and also the commentary about how Draug offers to interject with his fist (everyone aside from Udyr - Something shimmers into view .. a transparent gray colored thing that might have looked like a dwarf in life.. if dwarves were able to walk around with gaping holes in their chest where their heart and lungs used to be.. another then another shimmers into view until four of the ghost things surround you ... they point in the direction you were heading to begin with (Skullcap) and moan in Dwarven (meaning only Rin and Serinda understand what they're actually saying) " BEGONE outsiders ! Disturb our rest no longer.. this is dwarf land - you do NOT belong here " ... even if you can't understand their words you understand the fear well enough.. a supernatural thing that sends irrational waves of terror running through your veins even as you struggle against it )
Draug: "These bad guys Princess, me no want to hurt more dwarf to make princess sad."
Serinda: "We've not come to seek Riches or to take your things. We were send here by dwarves themselves. We will not take anything that belongs to you, nor disrespect your people."
Serinda: "... we really need to get past.. It's a matter of great importance, to all races, including the future of the dwarves."
" How sssssooooooo........ elf ? " One of the ghosts glares at Serinda
Rin: "Might I interject her Serinda?"
Draug: "Or do Draug interject with fist?"
Draug readies his bow arrow notched and pointing towards the groun "No want no accidental discharge" he thought
Zane: Un-knock the arrow Draug.. It's not like that weapon would do anything anyway..
here you take note of how miraculous Rin's healing is and comment on it, something the other players are forgetting to do I think given this kind of magical / divine healing has been brand new and unseen for the past 350 years - great stuff ! And loved the shooting the apple off the princess's head joke:
The ghost warrior's head snaps towards Rin .. " LIAR ! The goooooooods have abandoned ussssssss ! " Rin realizes the ghosts died about 50 years after the Cataclysm - soon enough after the gods leaving the world for the dwarves to remember the event..
Zane: Un-knock the arrow Draug.. It's not like that weapon would do anything anyway..
Rin: "I am not lying and I can prove it. I really do hate doing this."
ghost warrior: " Whyyyyyyyyy ? Whyyyyy have they returnnnneeeeed noooooowwwwww? Prove iiiiiiiiit ! "
Rin rakes his claw arcoss his arm letting his blood drip to the ground. "You'd thing I'd get used to this. Now watch." Rin hols hid habnd over his arm wound as a light shines from underneath. When he pulls his hand away his arm is healed.
Draug: "Draug never get tired o taht Rin so cool it is."
Draug: (elven) "Why do you always have to be right Zane? Want to switch (bows)? My aim is probablly better than yours." replies Draug with his tongue sticking out jokingly
Zane: I doubt your (bow and arrow) aim is better..
Zane: We'd have to test that sometime..
Draug: We try sometime yes
Draug: shoot apple od Princess head?
Zane: No.. probably not the best test.. I don't want to be frozen solid..
Zane: And good job Rin.. hate fighing the undead.. takes to long to kill them the second time
Serinda: "Maybe you can ask Laurana... Now let's get going.."
Got a big laugh out of Draug's comment about women (such as Serinda) and their tendency to ask for directions
Serinda: "We met some dwarves..."
Draug: "The elf woman stop for directions"
Rin: "We had to ask them for directions."
Zane: And I had to pee.
Zane: Sorry..
Udyr: Gah... I don't like this place, let's get this over with.
Draug notices Serinda's magical abilities and goes WHOAH that's cool - again noticing the other PC's special abilities and commenting on it, awesome stuff !
Most players forget to do that Draug: "You can fly?!"
Serinda: "I can.."
Udyr looks up at the eye's of the structure, "I could do it more easily." Then shifts into an eagle and flies up to the eye landing, looking into the opening.
Draug: "How!?"
Draug: "Your bones no hollow
Serinda: "By magic..."
Zane walks up the path, putting the rope away in the process.
Draug follows Serinda up "I must aquire this magic"
Similar situation here with Draug noticing Udyr's magical abilities again , awesome stuff - and got a big laugh out of the "eyes cooler than mouth" comment - and commenting on the dwarf village even though that happened a few FG game sessions ago, marvelous attention to detail
Rin chuckles and starts to chant. A long ribbon like path of shadow extends upwards toward the eyes of skullcap. "So whose first? Oh and we should proably move quickly it doesn't last long." Having said that Rin hops onto the path and start to walk on it at a rahter fast pace
Serinda shrugs and follows Rin up the walkway
Udyr reaches into his bag, pulls out a small coin in his fist, he whispers a few words then opens his hand and a bright light comes from the coin, he then tosses it down the eye hole.
Draug: "Cool trick Udyr!"
Serinda: "Why did we decide the eyes were the best place of entrance again?..."
Draug: "I thought eye cooler than mouth"
Rin: "So who wants to dive in first?"
Zane: I'll go..
Udyr pushes Rin forward into the eye hole, "You have a torch, go ahead, lead the way."
Serinda: "Why can't we ever go somewhere nice..."
Zane: Most of the nice places are overrun by the dragon army..
Zane: That's probably why..
Rin: "I dunno I thought the Dwarven village was nice."
Serinda: "Yeah... It was before we came..."
Zane: That's true..
Draug: "Darf village mean to Draug. Draug no like it."
Zane: Shall we find out what here?
Udyr: Let's get this over with! What are we looking for?
Draug: "Can't you scry map Serinda much easier no?"
Serinda: "Not without something to go on.. i'd need an item that belonged to those dwarves.."
Draug yells (elven) "Hey serinda can you use javelins and armor to scry the dwarves?"
Serinda: "If their owners were still alive... It'd be easy... The problem is we're looking for relatives.. distant cousins..."
Amazing memory here about the draconians you've fought turning into stone, that was many FG game sessions ago yet you still remembered and commented on it - very, very impressive
" Hey neat trick ! " the dragon says , a tone of pleasant surprise in his voice as he looks at Udyr ... wait WHAT ? ! ? " The dragon's tone finally turns serious as he listens to Rin and Serinda ... " Wait.. what do you mean by wild mage? Wild magic? Chaos magic? " Finally serious, Blaize turns a large eye on Rin
blaize the brass dragon: " And what's a 'draconian ' ? "
Rin: "Yeah some weird guy became one. He's been told he cold take the test."
Draug: "piece o meat ill neva eat bthats what"
Serinda: "We're not entirely sure.... Some kind of... half-man half-dragon, but not like zane.... they seem to be made with dark magic.... "
Zane: Definately not like me..
Rin nods. "Yeah they are really odd."
Draug: they turn stone before i get bite so annoyuing;=
" Huh.. Test as in Tower of High Sorcery huh ? Strange there hasn't been a chaos-magic mage for thousands of years even taking the 300 years I was gone into account... wait Takhisis is BREEDING half dragons ? " Blaize sounds PISSED...
Zane: Yes.. they are.. I don't know why they are gold, copper, and brass scaled but they are..
Remembering and commenting on Darlatan, silver dragon who's a folk hero of Draug's kagonesti people - AMAZINGLY good recall , that is SO impressive
The dragon points at Zane then interrupts himself again sniffing at Draug " That's wierd you smell like... dog or something... do you want a bone? Tell you what next horse I eat I'll save the bones for you - hell
I'll even give you some of the meat ! What do you say?
Draug: (elven) "I would much like that Mr Brass Dragon sir. Say do you know a Dragon by the name of Darlantan?"
Draug: (Sylvan) "As do I......... "Do you think there is it at all any possibility I can become a Dragon rider like Kagonos?"
The dragon points at Zane then interrupts himself again sniffing at Draug " That's wierd you smell like... dog or something... do you want a bone? Tell you what next horse I eat I'll save the bones for you - hell
I'll even give you some of the meat ! What do you say?
Draug: (elven) "I would much like that Mr Brass Dragon sir. Say do you know a Dragon by the name of Darlantan?"
And then you've got the Draug jokes below, great stuff.. I practically fell over laughing at the forest comment when I re-read it , the "appear to miss" comment too
" Wish I could dog-friend... I need to get to the dragon isles and find out what the fuck was going on pardon my language" the dragon nods at Serinda .. " Hey tell me what your names are ? Especially THAT one I want to know where to find him so I can bug him some more " the dragon points a claw at Udyr, glee in his voice.
Serinda: "My name is Serinda, of Silvanesti..."
Draug: (elven) "That sir is Ud errrr not Ooooooh Deeer its Ud errrrr"
Draug: (elven) "Yes but remember its pronounced Utter like a cow's utter not Ewww Deer
Rin slowly stands and brushing himself off. "Don't take his yelling personally. I think that's like the only way he can speak."
Draug: "To be fair it very loud in forest"
Draug: "So what now guys?"
Draug: "Dance party?"
Draug realizes they havent moved in a whil "Why we not walk and talk we not that stupid are we? We no can multitask?"
Zane: You missed..
Zane: Or did you?
Draug: pfft i never miss ZANE
Draug: I make appear i miss to surprise target
Loved how Draug immediately got concerned with Udyr being hurt and started hollering about it - again, showing attention to your fellow PC's that most players forget, great stuff !
Udyr Predator quickly shifts into the form of a wolf, darting out of reach of the dragon.
Udyr quickly shifts into the form of a wolf and darts as fast as he can out of the room, with his injured limbs.
Zane: What the hell happened to you? (
You all (except Rin) see a wolf dart out of the room Udyr was just in - not Draug as a wolf btw ... bleeding heavily from 3 of his limbs,limping..
The arrows are gone, having fallen out of Udyr's hide when he changed form...
Draug yellls "What happened udyr!!!!"
Zane looks at the bleeding wolf next to him..
Draug yelling more "ZAne what happened?"
Serinda turns to glance at the wolf too, and frowns, wondering what happened, and if it is indeed Udyr, whether or not he started whatever fight he got into
Zane: Hell if I know.. I don't speak Wolf
Draug: "Arwararroooo arwarooo arwooooo howl;ll"
Serinda turns to glance at the wolf too, and frowns, wondering what happened, and if it is indeed Udyr, whether or not he started whatever fight he got into
Udyr shift back to his human form, and holds his hand over his arm wound, and closes his eyes from a breiif moment as a green light radiates from his hand.
Udyr points over at the undead creatures.
And I love the descriptive way you mention how Draug changes shape
Draug bodys fades from existance and is replaced by a hulking wolf hybrid eager to take down any challenge infront of him.

Thought Rin was a bit more quiet than normal this FG game session, not sure if you're still feeling a bit under the weather?
.. if so hope you get better soon ... if you're trying to step out of the spotlight to let it shine on other PC's - well that's the very sweet, self sacrificing sort of behavior I'm come to expect from you but trust me, Rin being his usual outrageous self makes the game that much more fun for everyone .... not to say you did a bad job RP'ing by any means, great as usual ! For example not only remembering the dwarven ale from a few FG game sessions ago but using it to interact with a fellow PC (Zane), great stuff ! Udyr: If "they" try something, what are YOU TALKINGABOUT!
Zane: It's a long story Udyr, I'll tell you on the way to Skullcap
Zane: Or Draug can, he was there
Zane walks over to Serinda, "You will have help this time if they try something.."
Draug: "Oh Serinda that one time thing. NO happen no more.... Monk bad influence on Draug see. Draug no like that no more."

Serinda: "You feel yourself included in every 'they'? You weeren't even there..."
Serinda sighs
Serinda: "Yes... Hilarious... Let's just get going."

Serinda: "That's not important now.."
Udyr: GRRRRAAAHHHH!, EVERYONE BE QUIET!!!!! LET"S JUST GO! LETS DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE!!!
Zane grabs the tankard and downs it.
I liked how you caught the apparent anachronism here (except I liked the idea of marshmellows so much I turned it into a feature of the world of Krynn, see the world information part of the forum if you haven't already
.. not sure if a sticky gooey marshmellow would stick rin's beak together or otherwise give him prob's eating it ? ) There are bogs you'll have to travel through that surround
Skullcap - clouds of vapor rise from the warm surface of these
marshes, filling the area with a thick, chilling fog. Tall
brown reeds clog the landscape, blocking sight any farther
than a few dozen feet.
Draug: "Draug try huff and puff fog away?"
Draug: "Anyone see marshmallow? Draug hear you find marshmallow in bog?"
Rin looks to Draug. "What the hell is a marshmallow?"
Draug: "I hear it big white puffy thing maybe sweet too." Draug licks his lips
Serinda slides off her own horse and releases it, letting it fade away into the weave again
As usual Rin is his self-sacrificing self yet approaching the whole thing with humor far as the (rather painful
) way of proving the existence of the gods - though next time in my humble opinion Rin should get in on the Serinda commentary as far as shooting the apple off her head (maybe offering to strike it off her head with his whip instead? ) .. The ghost warrior's head snaps towards Rin .. " LIAR ! The goooooooods have abandoned ussssssss ! " Rin realizes the ghosts died about 50 years after the Cataclysm - soon enough after the gods leaving the world for the dwarves to remember the event..
Zane: Un-knock the arrow Draug.. It's not like that weapon would do anything anyway..
Rin: "I am not lying and I can prove it. I really do hate doing this."

Draug: shoot apple od Princess head?
Zane: No.. probably not the best test.. I don't want to be frozen solid..
Zane: And good job Rin.. hate fighing the undead.. takes to long to kill them the second time
Serinda: "Maybe you can ask Laurana... Now let's get going.."
Loved Rin's comment on skullcap - shows his bardic love of the arts
The mouth-tunnel .... close enough to the ground for you to walk right
into it .. is made of the same smooth obsidian as the
outside of Skullcap. It appears to slope gently for 20 feet
before the angle of the tunnel changes to a 70 degree incline-too
steep and smooth to walk though one could slide down it.
Getting back up the "slide" will not be a matter of simply
walking back upwards on it however - it's far too slippery for that.
There are also two large openings where the "eyes" of the skull are-
though again being able to climb far enough up the slippery obsidian to
get a closer look at the "eye openings " may present a problem..
Rin stares at skull cap. "That is quite the sight isn't it? If it weren't for the way it was made I'd say it would be considered art."
Wonderful flavor text as far as Rin's spells
Rin chuckles and starts to chant. A long ribbon like path of shadow extends upwards toward the eyes of skullcap. "So whose first? Oh and we should proably move quickly it doesn't last long." Having said that Rin hops onto the path and start to walk on it at a rahter fast pace
loved the other reference to his bardic nature here, his decision to scold whoever's doing that horrid singing
.. though in my humble opinion would have loved to see Rin prove Serinda right and start flirting with the dragon or make a humorous comment to Serinda in return or something like that when Serinda makes her wry observation about Rin below (when brass dragon starts to sing kender song) Rin looks around as he hers some horrid singing. He'd better go scold who ever that is
(brass dragon says) Hey it's a kenku ! I haven't seen one of those in AGES !" The dragon peers eagerly
at Rin then frowns " You're not one of the bad ones though are you? And if you are , are these your
slaves? Maybe that one's your slave?" the dragon looks at Zane then snaps it's gigantic fingers adding
" No, no , now I remember, you people like BOTH genders.. so is he your sex slave too?" The dragon
points at Zane
Rin looks at the dragon and chuckles. "No I'm nnot one of those bad one's I mean I'm still bad but in a differnt sense of the word. You could say that I also appeal to both gneders aswell though."
Zane: Doesn't appeal to me..
Serinda: "I found it best just to ignore him when he says that... If you say you aren't into birds, he'll only take it as a challenge... just a warning..."
I liked Rin's indignant claim that the dragon isn't as annoying as Rin - a thought? Perhaps in future FG game sessions and/or forum RP have Rin mention this to udyr and deliberately attempt to ignore the big bear-man , perhaps with Rin's puppets? You have to admit someone like Udyr would be an almost irresistible target for Rin's gibes
- or am I wrong? .. " The year ? Hmmm.. we don't measure time the same way you little folk do, doesn't mean as much to us .. um... fifty years after that Cataclysm thing I think ? What do you mean one of my scales here ? " the dragon looks at Zane " What do you mean ? Did I lose a scale? " the dragon looks behind him then looks at Draug " Ok it's a deal I'll save you a bone? Darlantan? Oh HIM " Blaize chuckles " Dead a while ago I'm afraid even we dragons die of old age after a while but wonderful chap and.. hey.. hey.. WAIT a minute ! " The dragon beams looking down at Zane " Nice trick you almost got me .. who's your daddy huh? Who's your daddy ? "
Udyr: GODS, this thing is as annoying as the man-bird!
Rin: "No no it' most certainly is not as annoying aa me."
Zane: Heh.. that would be my dad. You might know him..
Udyr: WHAT?! DRAGON? Udyr looks at Zane, What do you mean dragon in your family?
Draug: "Zane no tell you Udyr?"
Zane: Calm down, Udyr. It's a long story.
Udyr just stands there, getting more and more annoyed by everyone just talking ceaselessly.
The dragon appears to be completely ignoring the gentle hints thrown his way so far about moving along.. he stops, peers to look at Udyr " Hey why does that big guy with the beard look so pissed ? "
Zane looks a little a little saddened when talking about his mother('s death).
Campaign saved.
Rin points a claw at Udyr. "Him oh that's normal for him
Got a chuckle out of how Rin doesn't let on that HE is the first sorcerer in question to walk the world of Krynn in thousands of years
" Hey neat trick ! " the dragon says , a tone of pleasant surprise in his voice as he looks at Udyr ... wait WHAT ? ! ? " The dragon's tone finally turns serious as he listens to Rin and Serinda ... " Wait.. what do you mean by wild mage? Wild magic? Chaos magic? " Finally serious, Blaize turns a large eye on Rin
blaize the brass dragon: " And what's a 'draconian ' ? "
Rin: "Yeah some weird guy became one. He's been told he cold take the test."
Lots to love in the passage below - Rin expresses an in-character curiosity for why the heck the dragons are all different colors , offers to give up some of his loot to help the dragon re-establish his treasure horde (you got mega RP points for that
) , shows the bardic side of him by asking the dragon to show up later on to interview him so Rin can add the records to his bardic college and , most hilariously , the token Rin gives the dragon to be able to find Rin again, very laugh-worthy ... Udyr: "CAN WE GET BACK TO SEARCH FOR THE MAP?! IM TIRED OF THIS TALK, WHATS THE USE OF TALKING ABOUT THE COLORS OF DRAGONS? DOES THAT HELP US ANY, NO!!! I WANT TO BE RID OF THIS PLACE, LETS GET THE MAP AND LEAVE!
" You're starting to piss me off too " growls the dragon pointing a giant claw at Udyr
Rin: "Well several things but one thing in particular.... Why all the colors? And why metal colors?" Draug: "rather be pissed off than pissed on yes?"
Draug: "Serinda you gotta laugh at that one!"
Blaize opens his mouth to answer the question - then shuts it .. " You know that's a DAMN good question .... not sure .. maybe the metallic colors look prettier ? The colored dragons are mad cause we got the good shades" Blaize beams a smile down at Rin then nods at Draug " Yes, better to be pissed off than pissed on - why did someone piss on you ? "
Serinda: "Not really..."
Serinda: "I don't think the colours are like a concious choice... just how they're born..."
Draug: (elven) "No sir Blaize they just seemed to get annoyed when i piss on them I just try to mark my terrritory is all."
Rin: "Anway, I had other questions but.... Hmm... you think you could find me agian later so we could talk? I could toss you a platimun piece and some tapestries. For your trouble, you know so you cna start youe hoard back up."
Rin: "Well I could give you a tapestry now on the condition you come back soon so I can write all your answers to my questions down. The bardic college would love a wrttien record of an interview wiht a dragon."
Rin walks back to teh room her found the note in. A few secodns later he staps out holding another tapestry which looks like it's wrapped around something. He hold's it out to Blaize. "Now don't peek inside her but you can find me wiht it later oh and becarful it can break pretty easy."
And I got a chuckle out of Rin deciding to dance with the ballroom zombies
Rin sees nothing aside from dancing corpses .. a rotting woman shambles towards Rin ready to dance...
Rin shrugs and starts to dance.
Zane looks back at Rin. "Yeah.. even picking up the undead.."
