That Nat 1 for a roll I put in as an incase bit. xD (Hopefully its not needed...) For some OOC stuff, Her Mercy is a reference to the Dragon Goddess Tamara (Neutral Good, kindest and most benevolent of the draconic deities). And Malus doesn't get to see a dragon, yet. But now the kobolds are multiplying! :P Although I don't think Kal knows our gith buddy knows draconic yet, so its possible Kal might let slip some stuff while talking to the kobold.

Probably not the first reaction one would expect from such an ardent champion for good when confronted with a notorious creature like a kobold, but it seemed like this one at least had good memories of their kind. Of course, at this point 'Gawain' gives a glance over the rest of the party, as if considering his options before giving a glance towards the slumbering kobold, and as requested, calls upon his divine senses to see how heavy the aura of Evil lays upon the child of Kurtulmak before him. "Curious, I didn't think the kobolds would be that far into the structure yet. It looks like the kobolds had a white dragon wyrmling they kept here. I'm guessing the goblins stole the thing, if his whimpers are anything to go by," 'Gawain' informs quietly, before untying his greatsword, sheath and all, from his back and offers it towards Malus, "Could you hold onto this for me? I have a way of likely getting this kobold to answer our questions, but it leaves me unable to effectively use a sword. It... Might also help to give some space, but I'll leave that up to your discretion."

His noble, humanoid appearance suddenly being replaced by that of a kobold, albeit a dignified looking one - although that could just be the effects of his illusionary garb modifying itself to fit his new form mimicking fine, well-maintained equipment. His holy symbol of Bahamut/Xymor hung nakedly from his neck as he scampered over towards the slumbering Meepo, giving the fellow diminutive lizard a curious glance over his wounds before leaning forward and placing a clawed hand upon the other reptile's forehead before uttering a prayer. "Jacioniv kilith, majak dout doege ekess nomeno kevun sihe kitril di draushum mior." Channeling positive energy through his hands, the paladin would wait for a moment to see if the slumbering kobold would stir... And if he didn't, Luca would be happy to hop over, sit above the sleeping lizard's head, and peck him squarely on the forehead. "MOVE IT SCRAPPY SCALES, WE DON'T HAVE ALL DAY FOR YOU TO SLEEP!" Draconic Translation: Her mercy, extend your care to this poor child borne of dragon blood.

Is it possible to use Knowledge: Religion or another knowledge skill to identify anything about the carved symbols/glyphs? (Obviously Kal knows Draconic, too, if that helps).

Conditions None The gold beamed, ever so slightly, at the respectful tone the small lizardfolk took. While it was unbecoming of his kin to let their egos be inflated so easily, a wyrmling like himself still had to wrestle and tame some of their baser draconic impulses despite their goodly and lawful instincts. "Vi smunsoua di trian. Throdenilti di wer tawura jahus goawya ini wer pazien hewa svaust khazayoba batobot uoinotahoaf grikor.

Draconic Translation "A bit of both. Most of the work was placed by the mad mage who constructed that hellish realm. I just had enough knowledge to recognize the find in the dungeon." "I know its use as a poison or healing, but figured it would be wise to find what other value it may have, or how valuable the non-dragon races here may consider it, to help towards our next trip."

His keen draconic senses, meanwhile, looked in unconcerned about the shadows to see what he spy before stepping just barely into the room.

Welcome back! And apologies if Kal oversteps or jumps the gun a bit much there, tried to balance the paladin urge to kick down the door and play the hero, verses not jumping headfirst into every trap we find. xD Edit: Also, remind me, Kal was healed by 8 HP via Psionics, yeah?

Instead, he settles up in front next to Malus and, while letting him try to peer through the keyhole, the paladin gives a gentle knock upon its surface - hopefully just loud enough to draw the attention of whomever was inside. His mouth twists, obviously about to speak, but another glance would likely remind him to not rush to assumptions, leaving the paladin to wait if it drew a response from the figure inside. Assuming that there was not a response in goblin-talk, or something that appeared to be goblin-like, or not otherwise silenced by Malus or another, the paladin would finally speak a few seconds later in a gentle, warm tone. "Hello? Are you one of the adventurers that came here before us? We've been asked to try and find you all. I'm a paladin of Bahamut, and with me are several folks even stronger or wiser than myself, if you need help."

Conditions None The young dragon didn't bat an eye at the lizardfolk's current state, nor from the heat in the kitchen that less flame blessed creatures might find uncomfortable. Although, a keen minded observer might notice the wyrmling being a touch more... at ease... around the fellow lizard, nearby spider or no. Despite adventuring and traveling with less- two legged kind for quite a while now, it still didn't quite feel as normal as talking to one closer to his kin. If for no other reason than the fact that it was much easier for him to understand the facial and tonal expressions of another reptile, where as human body language, expressions, and nuances still left... something to be desired for the gold. "Ava'yorn, Suturi," the dragon replied in the same tongue. But as opposed to the lizard's informal inflection, the gold's words were formal, precise, neat in a way, speaking like a young lordling that had been drilled in the formal mannerisms so that he could present himself as regally as his station demanded, even if he was lacking in the worldly experience one might expect for such etiquette. Which might also explain why the dragon presented himself in as dignified a manner as he could manage while speaking - at least so far as the limitations of the kitchen allowed. "Yth ornla hefoc ekess ukris drielk, usv tor zahae creol edarokic yth ehtaha." After his statement, provided Sunny doesn't rebuff his approach, the golden-scaled reptile reaches into his saddle pack and starts to pull out the valuable plants he had whisked away from the dungeon moments before the fire. Draconic Translation "Hello, Sunrise." Kaldakaczil uses the draconic word for her name, unless he's been told to call her something else in their/his mother tongue. "We would like to talk trade, or ask about some plants we found."

From what I know, Kal's gonna swing by Sunny to hawk the plants they fetched, then probably see about catching up with Mahdi at the church when it comes time to sell deliver the cultist booty over for their bounty. Or if that wraps up before he's finished with Sunny, meet back up afterwards to split the gold among the party.

Conditions None Kaldakaczil gives a small nod as the party decides what to do, letting his mind briefly contemplate what he would be doing as well. "I may swing by Sunny first and discuss the plants we rescued from that parlor of horrors. Once that's done, I'll meet up with you all at the temple. We should also see about replacing the hired help to maintain the logistics that our companion established before his departure, so that we can continue pressing further into the depths. I'd offer, but... Outside of attracting any kobolds that might be lurking in the city's sewers or alleys, I'm not sure who I would attract as an employer. Although, if there were kobolds I'd heartily recommend them. Sure, some of them you need to keep a closer eye on than others, but no creature on the surface of this plane works harder than a loyal child of dragon's blood."

You can't spend more power points on a power than your Manifester Level, which I think for Booth should be 1 (unless he has something like Practiced Manifester to increase his effective manifester level?). But, fortunately, we're out of combat, so you can just touch one of us every six seconds to heal 2 HP for 1 PP still. :D

Yeash, life's been busy on my end, apologies. Anyway, as a reminder, Kal's at 26/42 HP, so probably good for another tussle, but a top up might be helpful if anyone has anything to spare. Otherwise he can burn his 8 Lay on Hands to get himself back up to closer shape.

Evil dragon worshiping cultists or no, its only proper. But, for a short term fix until we're done with the bigger problems here, breaking their skulls will work well enough to keep them from raising up behind us," the paladin murmurs, waving over for Malus' help to sunder the appropriate skulls of their foes. "Now then, shall we get going..? I think we've got that long corridor to go. If anyone's got some healing magic to spare, I could also use a touch up," he spoke, before making his way back towards the corridor they had discovered. Assuming no one had anything to say, he could make his way towards the set of doors and looking over for traps.

Didn't notice this, I'll throw a Religion here if its still valid. RNJesus reminds me of his displeasure. xD

Its all good, I should say more the 'background interacting with fey' that's represented by Nymph's Kiss. The main thing would be the Knowledge skills regardless. Anyway, if I remember correctly for the keep. We've got the dragon lock that likely needs a key, then a hallway with three doors we've let to knock on, yes?

Considering Kaldakaczil's knowledge skills and the Nymph's Kiss feat? :P 'Scuse you, you've got an alias. ;D

We found some precious metals and valuable plants in the art exhibition, before we ran into a weird transforming monster that took considerable effort to dispatch."

With a disgruntled hiss, he coordinated with his familiar to try and land another solid hit upon the creature - hoping to dispatch it at last! Unfortunately, while the strength he put behind the blow was considerable, his swing went wide and missed its target by a few inches.

Apologies, got swamped last week. So one of the skele boys down, one's on its face due to grease, and the other is standing yeah? Is there enough space for four of us to mob up on the last two in melee?

Conditions None Kaldakaczil seemed to reluctant to follow, glancing back towards the sea of flames whilst he considered the options. It would be best to wait until the flames had consumed themselves and the air returned to some measure of usefulness, sure, but to retreat entirely from the dungeon... Still, what was the alternative? This seemed to be the only path opened to them that wasn't barred by some bone door, protected by a suicidally dangerous jump over acid complete with traps when they landed, or the final path that risked angering whatever community lurked there. Then there was also the issue of the injuries he still bore from the cultists they had ran into, and the mysterious creature. Perhaps if he had done better, or at least been less prone to receiving those blows with his body, they might have been able to continue for longer rather than need to turn back. "I suppose in the absence of a better idea..." he grumbled, sulking behind the others as he did so.

Conditions None The dragon spat out the last chunk of the mysterious creature his fangs had ripped from the beast, letting the flames that Doallyn had conjured consume the foul tasting beast with a satisfied rumble. His wings parted as he stood in, or at least quite close too, the inferno, basking in the elemental flames as his own fire-fueled nature radiated its own warmth in answer. This was pleasant, he thought for a moment, debating if he could settle into the middle of the inferno like he did with the tavern's fire place. But then the pounding in his temples, and the aching of his lungs from the lack of air reminded him of the situation he was in. He gave the area of flames one last, quick look over to see if there was anything that hadn't yet been consumed by the flames that he should fetch with him before withdrawing, before proceeding to do just that - slinking his way out of the torrent of flames covered in soot and the blackened oil he had treated his scales with that morning, leaving him a splotchy mess of cured alchemical substance and fire-proof scales. Seeing the wizard bow to the elemental giddily dancing in the still air of the corridor, he gives the creature a respectful dip of his head as well, then speeds his way to the rest of the party so he can finally silence his demanding lungs with a long breath.
