Once outside the walls, Jozhur hands Florian a healing potion. The vilderavn accepts it with a nod. Jozhur and Tahni try to work out an equitable division of the spoils. Rill can tell that, apart from the Freeman's Token itself, nothing from the Guild Hall is magic.
In the end, Florian accepts an exquisitely-worked leather belt. "Thank you," he says. "And thank you for coming to help me. It is perhaps more than I deserve."
Tahni asks whether he found other treasure, and he shakes his head. "Alas," he says, "I was too busy fighting for my life." Rill can't be sure, but he seems sincere.
Fang is confused, but soon remembers that you made alliances with both the giants and Florian. The giants deserted you, so presumably that agreement has ended. You did not specifically agree to split treasure with Florian, but perhaps it was understood.
Aexana, meanwhile, is distressed to discover that many of her potions have gone bad! This will require some sorting out.
Looking around, you can see that you are close to the spot where you first entered Fae Skiemir. Since it has only been a few hours, Queen Maab and her court are presumably still where you left them.
(MikeK)Bralin (AC37 T16 F32, HP 191/191) Monday April 29th, 2019 4:03:14 PM
Bralin counts himself lucky that the potion he imbibed from Aex was not spoiled. The results could have been...unpleasant.
As the treasure is split up, the dwarf keeps an eye on Florian, until the party is ready to return to Maab. Presumably, they will part ways 'ere then.

Fang takes an interest in the potions. In the temple they made all kinds of exotic potions to heal and sooth. She was never any good at it herself unfortunately. "Maybe I can help you sort them later? I'm not skilled in potion craft but I should be able to tell which seals have failed."
(StevenVdB) Aexana Gnome (S) HP130/130 - AC25/19/21 - CMD 24 and LEAFY (L) - HP97/97 - AC34/27/31 - CMD 20 Monday April 29th, 2019 8:27:17 PM
Aex looks up thankfully at Fang as she offers help.
"Thank you Lady Fang... these are ruined... the rest we can sort out when we are back at Queen Maab's place. "
With nothing left to do here, Aex is happy to leave.
Terser (Warren) [AC22/13/19 - CMD 30 - HP 230/230, DR 3/-, Regen 1, Mind Blank] (25% no crit, rage 29/39, channel 5/7) Monday April 29th, 2019 9:04:47 PM
Terser takes a glance at the wall to make sure there are no weaknesses left from their forced entry. It's bad enough inside the city. Who knows what would happen if all that got out.
Otherwise, he's ready to go. He wonder what Lady Maab will think of Florian.
Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Monday April 29th, 2019 9:17:53 PM "It was good traveling with you Lord Florian. I hope you fare well wherever you fare."
Assuming the others are ready to go, we will proceed to where we left our fickle female fem fatale Maab.
(Brock) Jozhur AC27 / Touch 18 Flat 19--CMD 30--HP 153/159 --Shadow Companion 79/79hp Monday April 29th, 2019 10:24:32 PM
Jozhur nods to Florian, "Your actions proved to us that you did deserve our help. And thank you, for aiding us."
With that, Jozhur is ready to set off to see Queen Maab.
DM Kathy Monday April 29th, 2019 11:14:56 PM Fang offers to help Aexana sort through her potions. Aexana tosses the ruined ones, and plans for a more complete inventory later.
Terser examines the wall, but can find no sign of your earlier entry. You also see no sign of the dark-elf group that had been attempting to tunnel under the wall. Had they succeeded? Or given up and left? Impossible to tell.
Rill and Jozhur bid farewell to Lord Florian. Bralin does not, but he carefully watches the vilderavn.
Florian bows slightly. "It has been an honor," he says. "You have given me much to think about." He smiles slightly, then turns into a raven and flies away.
The smile bothers you. Was it mocking? Had he, after all, gotten the best of you?
If he had, there's little to be done about it now. He is gone, and you have business with Queen Maab.
You start walking, heading back in the direction of her pavilion. Navigation is difficult in the Vales of Twilight--the light is deceptive and the landscape shifts subtly from time to time. But you are experienced adventures, and you have a pretty decent idea of where you're going. It seems to take longer than your journey to Fae Skiemir. Perhaps you are tired. Perhaps it only seems longer because your quest is so close to an end. Or perhaps it really is longer; it's hard to know.
And then you come around a hill and see Maab's encampment stretched out before you. The tiny, hovering lights are still there, as are the pavilions and the courtiers. They had applauded you slightly when you first arrived. Now, you are greeted with thunderous applause and cheers.
The main pavilion awaits.
RobC - Tahni Wyrmrider -- AC 22/13/19 -- CMD 20 -- HP 154+9Temp/154 -- See Invis,ArcaneSight,DarkVision Tuesday April 30th, 2019 5:22:55 AM
Tahni folds her arms and waits until Florian is out of earshot. "I still don't trust that guy"
--------------
Tahni looks about to see how the party are presented. She isn't afraid to cast a few Prestidigitation spells to remove any blood stains (or undesirable smells) from people's clothing.
She gives a few polite waves to the crowd and tries to remain somewhat modest. This is all happening so fast.
Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Tuesday April 30th, 2019 11:24:55 AM "Yeah, me either Tahni. While people can change, we need to keep our eyes out for that guy. I suspect we've not seen the last of him."
-----------------------
As we approach Queen Maab's pavillions, Rill will pause with Tahni to get everyone cleaned up a bit.
Rill takes a quick glance around at the various courtiers and attendees. There's something about the fey that just doesn't sit right with the cleric. Nonetheless, it's appropriate to be respectful when welcomed with such fanfare and grandeur. It may be kind of a weird bunch, but they seen to mean well.
Rill will holds his bejeweled Rod of Splendor and uses it to transform his clothing into an all white (and probably more conservative) version of the style of dress he sees before him.
Rill waits to ensure we all enter together. "Well, here we go folks. Jozhur, you've been aboard the Lionfish the longest, perhaps you should lead us in."

Glad to be back Aex awaits their captain to lead them into the test and in front of Qjeen Maab once more..
Fang (Mitch) HP: 144/177 (152rage) AC: 30/20/25 (-2 while raging, +1 while hasted) DR 1 CMD: 22 Spell List Tuesday April 30th, 2019 8:01:21 PM
Fang has no real opinion or feelings on Florian. She's already moved on to the end of their task and the possibility of finally becoming a dragon. She follows the others into the crowd with head held high.
(MikeK)Bralin (AC37 T16 F32, HP 191/191) Tuesday April 30th, 2019 8:03:21 PM
Bralin shrugs. "We do not need to trust him. He is gone. Should he return, we shall deal with him appropriately."
The dwarf accepts the clean up effort by his comrade's spells, and then accompanies them through the cheering crowd.
He nods occasionally, growing uncomfortable in the spotlight.
(Brock) Jozhur AC27 / Touch 18 Flat 19--CMD 30--HP 153/159 --Shadow Companion 79/79hp Tuesday April 30th, 2019 10:10:35 PM
Jozhur lets out a deep breath as he starts toward the pavilion, "Right, let's go." After a few steps he pauses and turns back, "We still have the artifact, right?". He hopes Florian didnt steal it somehow.
DM Kathy Tuesday April 30th, 2019 11:10:54 PM
As you approach the main pavilion, Tahni and Rill pause to make sure the party is presentable. Rill suggests that Jozhur lead the way.
Jozhur pauses, suddenly concerned that the token may have been stolen. You check, however, and you still have it.
You enter the pavilion. The feast table has been cleared away, but the throne is still there, and Queen Maab is still seated in it. The assembled courtiers applaud you as you enter. Maab gives you a nod. "Greetings, Black Lions," she says.
As you approach, you see Lord Florian! He is standing off to the side, with a sullen expression, closely watched by a couple of elves in Maab's livery.
"Tell me of your quest," Maab says. "Were you successful?"
RobC - Tahni Wyrmrider -- AC 22/13/19 -- CMD 20 -- HP 154+9Temp/154 -- See Invis,ArcaneSight,DarkVision Wednesday May 1st, 2019 7:43:15 AM "My queen" Tahni takes a knee "We have returned with what you asked"
She is super surprised to see Florian here. Has he been her emissary all this time? He doesn't seem overly happy though. No. It's something else. By the look of those elves he is likely under guard. She looks to see if he is armed. A captive perhaps?
"Interesting."
Terser (Warren) [AC22/13/19 - CMD 30 - HP 230/230, DR 3/-, Regen 1, Mind Blank] (25% no crit, rage 29/39, channel 5/7) Wednesday May 1st, 2019 8:44:45 AM
Terser isn't terribly surprised to see Florian. He does seem the type to run in circles such as this. It just goes to show that you should treat every being with respect until they do something to lose that privilege.
Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Wednesday May 1st, 2019 10:32:19 AM
Rill isn't terribly surprised to see Florian. He does seem the type to run in circles such as this. It just goes to show that the Fey can be sketchy.
Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Wednesday May 1st, 2019 12:24:46 PM
Aw crud - these fey can probably read Rill's thoughts! Gaaa! Stop thinking, brain!
Rill will bow as we stop before Maab's throne.
"Greetings your Majesty. We were indeed successful. We arrived at the walls of Fae Skiemir, and we were able to get a group of Cloud Giants to work with us as they broke through the wall. Lord Florian joined us and fought alongside of us for some of the time there. That place is really a mess. We were able to call upon divine guidance to find the Guildhall you suggested. There we fought a most fearsome construct, and eventually were able to leave with this. And it was Lord Florian that teleported us out of Fae Skiemir without further incident."
With that, Rill will fish the Freeman's Token out of his extra-dimensional pocket and hold it up.
"I will say that all in our group were necessary and instrumental in achieving our goal. Even Lord Florian impressed us with his contribution."
Rill will nod to the vilderaven, glad he seems to be under the watchful eye of the good Queen. Lord Florian is very fey.
Ooops. I really need to stop thinking here.
(StevenVdB) Aexana Gnome (S) HP130/130 - AC25/19/21 - CMD 24 and LEAFY (L) - HP97/97 - AC34/27/31 - CMD 20 Wednesday May 1st, 2019 4:41:53 PM
By the time they enter the Queen's tent once again, Aex is using her staff again to lean on. Leafy trots close behind. He's a bit disappointed of their last endeavors as he hasn't been very useful. But then again, neither has Aex with the loss of her magic and potions.
The little greenmage bows humbly again... She does raise an eyebrow when she spots Florian and you are almost certain Leafy lets out a low growl.
"This hasn't been a walk in the part your grace... it has made it painfully clear how much I myself rely on some magic tricks and potions... without it... I have proved to being useless...
Fang (Mitch) HP: 144/177 (152rage) AC: 30/20/25 (-2 while raging, +1 while hasted) DR 1 CMD: 22 Spell List Wednesday May 1st, 2019 6:48:38 PM
Fang has nothing really to add about the journey. They saw some monsters, killed them, and got out. She doesn't see what there is to talk about beyond that.
(MikeK)Bralin (AC37 T16 F32, HP 191/191) Wednesday May 1st, 2019 8:42:24 PM
Bralin raises an eyebrow at the presence of Florian.
But Aex's comments cause him to turn to the gnome.
"One quest does not define you, Dwarf Kin. Your magic tricks and potions have proved their worth more often than my axe."
DM Kathy Wednesday May 1st, 2019 10:54:47 PM
When asked about your quest, Tahni merely says that you got the token.
Rill elaborates, and makes a point of talking up Florian's contribution.
Terser and Fang have nothing to add. Aexana blames herself, but Bralin won't hear of it.
"I am pleased with your success," Maab says. "And so too will the Wold be, when they hear of it. And fret not, Aexana. Your companions value your contributions, or they would not stay with you.
"And I am pleased to hear that Florian played a role," she adds, glancing at the vilderavn. "Though somewhat surprised. He is one of my subjects, prone to mischief and deceit. And withholding things from allies. Is that not so, Florian?"
Florian bows. "My queen," he says. "I had every intention of sharing these items with my allies. It simply slipped my mind."
"Slipped your mind," Maab repeats. "Although they specifically asked you whether you found anything."
"My queen--"
"I think you had better stop talking and start sharing."
Florian bows again. "Of course, my queen."
He produces a Bag of Holding and begins pulling out loot. There are negotiations about how much he gets to keep, but in the end it is all resolved. Here is what you wind up with:
Ring of Spell Storing, Minor; Amulet of Natural Armor +3; +4 Breastplate; Staff of Frost; Scroll of Greater Teleport; Staff of Necromancy; Ring of Protection +5; Ring of Freedom of Movement; Belt of Physical Perfection +6; Scarab of Protection; Wand of Dimensional Anchor (42 charges); Robe of the Archmagi; Mantle of Spell Resistance; Sword of Subtlety; Orb of Storms; Trident of Fish Command; gold-and-emerald necklace; set of 5 platinum bracelets with rubies; set of 6 silver-and-pearl goblets.
Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Thursday May 2nd, 2019 1:08:33 AM
Rill looks at Florian.
"Oh Florian, you scamp. While we are fortunate that Queen Maab was looking out for our best interests, you are also fortunate that we are in the good Queen Maab's presence, because I can tell you is is unwise to cheat dwarves where treasure is concerned. It would be ... unseemly to sully her court with violence."
Rill just really likes having dwarves around.
(StevenVdB) Aexana Gnome (S) HP130/130 - AC25/19/21 - CMD 24 and LEAFY (L) - HP97/97 - AC34/27/31 - CMD 20 Thursday May 2nd, 2019 6:13:53 AM
Aex can't help but chuckles as it turns out Florian has been able to gather quite some loot right under the nose of the Black Lions... there she was, gliding through walls only to recover a plain steel sword while he harvested nice trinkets.
Thankful for the kind words of Bralin and Queen Maab, little Aex quietly follows the rest of the meeting.
RobC - Tahni Wyrmrider -- AC 22/13/19 -- CMD 20 -- HP 154+9Temp/154 -- See Invis,ArcaneSight,DarkVision Thursday May 2nd, 2019 8:00:01 AM
Tahni keeps her smile in front of her deity. How could she not?
"It's true. Florian played a role, majesty. We formed an alliance. He did show us a way into Fae Skiemir, though once inside seemed to forget our agreement"
She takes a look at the pile of loot. "Not that I doubt you, Lord Florian, but perhaps instead of pulling items from the bag you could simply turn it inside out? I know how it can be hard to reach things at the bottom sometimes and how they sometimes can accidentally get trapped in the seams."
Fang (Mitch) HP: 144/177 (152rage) AC: 30/20/25 (-2 while raging, +1 while hasted) DR 1 CMD: 22 Spell List Thursday May 2nd, 2019 6:46:54 PM
Fang is rather impressed at how much loot the fey was able to get in such a short time. The party didn't find anything close to that amount, though they weren't really looking to be fair.
(Brock) Jozhur AC27 / Touch 18 Flat 19--CMD 30--HP 153/159 --Shadow Companion 79/79hp Thursday May 2nd, 2019 9:56:38 PM
Jozhur chuckles at Tahni. He doesn't care much about the treasure and is rather amused by the situation. He nods along when it comes to Florian's role. "He indeed helped us. We aided him, then he returned the favor. His words make it seem he may have learned something from this. But then again, he also fleeced us."
DM Kathy Thursday May 2nd, 2019 11:08:11 PM
Most of you decide to be amused by Florian's attempted deception. Tahni demands that he turn the Bag of Holding inside out, which he does with a little sigh. There is nothing else within.
Jozhur mentions that Florian seems to have learned something from this.
"I believe he has," Maab replies. "Deceit and manipulation is in his nature, but that doesn't mean he must use them for selfish ends. Perhaps he is ready for a new path?"
Florian bows but says nothing.
[OOC: The Wold has a semi-official rule that if you capture a bad guy, then let him go, the bad guy reforms and doesn't return to attack you. Although this wasn't exactly a "capture and release" situation, I'm applying the rule anyway. Lord Florian has reformed. I don't think he's happy about it, which I find amusing, but he has reformed.]
"But it is time to celebrate. Have you chosen your Dragon name yet?"
Terser (Warren) [AC22/13/19 - CMD 30 - HP 230/230, DR 3/-, Regen 1, Mind Blank] (25% no crit, rage 29/39, channel 5/7) Thursday May 2nd, 2019 11:41:14 PM
Terser is almost disappointed that he doesn't have the chance to assist Lord Florian in atoning for his wrongs. He had to go and do it himself.
He could go for a shiny new ring or mantle if it comes down to it, so long as the mantle matches his armor, of course.
Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Friday May 3rd, 2019 11:16:57 AM
To Forian, "Well Lord Florian - welcome to the bright side."
Then he turns to Maab. "Your Majesty, we have been discussing names and have not yet arrived at one. One of the considerations has been the Black Dragons, but legend suggest that such dragons are evil in nature. Do you think that being called the Black Dragons would necessarily be a negative thing?
"Also,this has be a long day so far and we have not rested since we last left your presence. If it please your majesty, may be we allowed to sit in your presence, even for just a bit?"
Rill will take out his own Bag of Holding and put the items Florian offered into it for later distribution.

Fang looks surprised. "Why would we not be called Black Dragons?" she says without thinking.

(MikeK)Bralin (AC37 T16 F32, HP 191/191) Saturday May 4th, 2019 9:03:36 AM
Bralin eyes Florian coldly, but says nothing. If Queen Maab says the fey has reformed, he will not gainsay her.
The nearly salivates at the sight of the belt.
As for their Dragon name, the dwarf is partial to Sea Dragons. This is not the place for discussion, so he remains silent.
Terser (Warren) [AC22/13/19 - CMD 30 - HP 230/230, DR 3/-, Regen 1, Mind Blank] (25% no crit, rage 29/39, channel 5/7) Saturday May 4th, 2019 2:02:30 PM
Words are not Terser's greatest gift, so he'll likely go along with the group's decision on a name. He is partial to gems and mining though, so a black gem name wouldn't be objectionable.
(StevenVdB) Aexana Gnome (S) HP130/130 - AC25/19/21 - CMD 24 and LEAFY (L) - HP97/97 - AC34/27/31 - CMD 20 Sunday May 5th, 2019 6:49:18 PM
So the Black if out of the loop then...
"Obsidian perhaps? This volcanic glass can be sharpened to a sharper blade even than the finest steel... a deep black shiny gem... its dark, glossy surface polished into cold, hard glass, a “mirror stone” for those prepared to look deep into the inner being, the subconscious, to reveal one’s shadow self…flaws, weaknesses, fears, all... Nothing is hidden from Obsidian.
Or Onyx... fear is only as deep as the mind allows... fall into the void of the dark and mysterious, the place where the truth of your inner self reflects who you really are, not what society expects.The Onyx takes you to the magical world of dusk, a special time when darkness gives way to light. "
The Greenmage has always been fond of nature and all secrets it holds... while she focuses on plants and herbs she has not forgotten words of her old tutors back in Plateau City when she was studying the fine arts of nature.
(Brock) Jozhur AC27 / Touch 18 Flat 19--CMD 30--HP 153/159 --Shadow Companion 79/79hp Sunday May 5th, 2019 8:28:59 PM
Sea, Onyx, Obsidian...Jozhur likes all the suggestions and has no objection. But, no one has declared us dragons of any sort just yet. First things first, he addresses Maab, "So, what would you have of us now, Queen?" Even though he is tired, his eyes glance around for leftover food and a cask.
DM Kathy Sunday May 5th, 2019 10:02:19 PM Fang wants you to be called Black Dragons, but Tahni remembers there has already been a group by that name. Bralin and Terser don't offer opinions. Aexana suggests Obsidian and Onyx, two black gemstones.
Rill tells Queen Maab that you haven't made a decision yet, which she accepts with a nod. He and Jozhur are curious for what comes next.
"Now we celebrate!" the Queen says. "The newest Dragons--yet unnamed--have returned from their quest!"
Courtiers and servants spring into action. Chairs and couches are brought out, so you may sit or lounge as you prefer. Servants circulate with wine, cheese, and fruits, while musicians strike up a sprightly tune.
RobC - Tahni Wyrmrider -- AC 22/13/19 -- CMD 20 -- HP 154+9Temp/154 -- See Invis,ArcaneSight,DarkVision Monday May 6th, 2019 8:35:40 AM
Tahni tries to find a seat where she has a good view of all in attendance (and tries to discreetly make it as close to Maab's as she can).
She tries to think of some possible names for the group but keeps coming up short.
Terser (Warren) [AC22/13/19 - CMD 30 - HP 230/230, DR 3/-, Regen 1, Mind Blank] (25% no crit, rage 29/39, channel 5/7) Monday May 6th, 2019 12:27:41 PM
Terser keeps an eye out for the harder stuff, something deliciously fortified that goes well with exotic fruits.
With Aexana's explanations, Terser is really starting to feel the Obsidian angle. Sharper than steel and reflecting your true self. That seems appropriate for those rooting out evil.
Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Monday May 6th, 2019 4:48:30 PM
(Ha - Tahni keeps coming up short - good one.)
Rill politely tolerates the fey celebration. The undisciplined nature of the fey is just not his cup of tea. Still, they are going to a good deal of trouble on our behalf.
Maybe this is part of Rill's Dragon Consortium Test - learning to lighten up.
So he turns to Tahni, "Hey Tahni, maybe you can conjure up an illusion of the construct we faced at the end of our quest - you know, just an image to show them what we saw there."
(StevenVdB) Aexana Gnome (S) HP130/130 - AC25/19/21 - CMD 24 and LEAFY (L) - HP97/97 - AC34/27/31 - CMD 20 Monday May 6th, 2019 7:24:06 PM "The Dragons with no name?! Captain...I think the honor is yours to rename the Black Lions to what they have become... ", Aex softly says.
(MikeK)Bralin (AC37 T16 F32, HP 191/191) Monday May 6th, 2019 7:54:40 PM
"Onyx", Bralin nods. "Tis a good name."
The fey start the festivities, and the dwarf has never been one to turn down food or drink. Bralin samples many of each, determining what he likes best.
Then, he can really start enjoying.
(Brock) Jozhur AC27 / Touch 18 Flat 19--CMD 30--HP 153/159 --Shadow Companion 79/79hp Monday May 6th, 2019 10:10:43 PM
Jozhur grabs a mug, or glass, and enjoys the party. He smiles at Aex and nudges Rill with his elbow, "Yes, Captain, the honor should be yours."
Jozhur rather enjoys Queen Maab's company. Of the gods he has met, she is by far his favorite.
DM Kathy Monday May 6th, 2019 10:55:58 PM
Some of you are still discussing your Dragon names--Onyx or Obsidian? Most of you, however, are more intent on the celebration. Terser is able to locate some very heady elven brandy that soon has him floating at treetop level. Not literally. Well, probably. It's very nice, though.
Rill maintains a tense but polite silence, then suggests that Tahni show an illusion of the construct you fought in the Guild Hall.
Bralin samples various food and drink. He finds an appealing sweet spread that, when put on fruit, makes the stuff downright palatable.
The musicians are soon joined by jugglers, followed by tumblers, followed by singers, followed by more entertainments. The elves are making merry, and you're pretty sure they could go on all night (does morning ever come here?). Queen Maab, however, calls a halt.
"Now we will return you to Bonetown," she explains. "To continue your celebration, and meet with other renowned Dragons of the Wold. Are you ready?"
Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Tuesday May 7th, 2019 3:25:57 PM
With Queen Maab's announcement that she is returning us to Bonetown, Rill will rise and solemnly bow to her.
"Queen Maab, your hospitality is outshone only by your own beauty. Thank you for your help and your generosity."
He smiles slightly as he turns to Florian. "Lord Florian, I wish you well. Perhaps out paths will one day cross again. Thank you for your assistance and for keeping our things safe until we reached this place."
"Now, as a wise insectoid group once said, let's get back to where we once belonged."
Fang (Mitch) HP: 144/177 (152rage) AC: 30/20/25 (-2 while raging, +1 while hasted) DR 1 CMD: 22 Spell List Tuesday May 7th, 2019 7:01:01 PM
Fang focuses on the food, skipping most of the alcohol. It'll be a long day and she's always been a lightweight when it comes to alcohol.
(MikeK)Bralin (AC37 T16 F32, HP 191/191) Tuesday May 7th, 2019 7:05:36 PM
Apples, completely covered in a sticky sweet spread, plop one by one down Bralin's gullet. The dwarf nods in satisfaction. A great feast indeed.
As Queen Maab calls a halt, and explains there will be more celebrations, Bralin rises to his feet, and joins Rill, waiting.

Aex enjoys the remainder of the party and savors the many dishes and wines. When the time comes to leave she's nervous... looks like they will not be leaving the same as they came.
RobC - Tahni Wyrmrider -- AC 22/13/19 -- CMD 20 -- HP 154+9Temp/154 -- See Invis,ArcaneSight,DarkVision Tuesday May 7th, 2019 7:55:40 PM
Tahni is more than happy to cast a Silent Image spell to show what the construct looked like. She starts off small, but then slowly makes it larger and larger until it fills up the room. Maybe that is bragging a little, but still, it's something she's going to remember for a long time.
The time with Maab was too short. It was always going to be though.
"I'm ready to return"
(Brock) Jozhur AC27 / Touch 18 Flat 19--CMD 30--HP 153/159 --Shadow Companion 79/79hp Tuesday May 7th, 2019 10:07:52 PM
It starts to dawn on Jozhur now. They are members of the renowned Dragon Consortium. Oh how far they've come. He sits quietly with a drink, reflecting on all of their great adventures.
Jozhur bows also bows slightly as Rill thanks Maab for the hospitality. As he remembers how they got to this place, he is unsure whether to quickly consume more alcohol, or regret drinking any in the first place..

I wouldn't want to brag too much about the favours of the Lady.
DM Kathy Tuesday May 7th, 2019 11:45:45 PM
You bid your farewells to Maab's court, and prepare yourselves for the return to Bonetown. Somewhat to your surprise, Queen Maab rises and makes her way toward you.
"Let's give everyone a bit of a thrill, shall we?" she says, and transforms herself into a massive silver dragon!
You barely have time to register what has happened when blip! there you are back in Bonetown!
And somehow, they knew to expect you. The square near Portside House has been swept clean and decorated. Pots of autumn flowers stand here and there; banners hang from some of the buildings. One one side of the square, a formidable line of kegs has been set up, with open-air kitchens nearby producing delicious smells. Denizens of Bonetown mill about, and pause to cheer when you appear in their midst.
Then they gasp in awe at the sight of the massive silver dragon circling overhead.
The Harbormaster approaches. "Uh...." he says, eyeing the dragon. "Uh....Is he with you?"

Tahni tries to clear things up with the Postmaster "Uh, we're actually with her" She looks about at all the commotion "How did you know we were coming?"
One final thing does come to mind "Where's the 'Fish? Is she ok?"

Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Wednesday May 8th, 2019 5:47:48 PM
Rill wonders how much time may have passed here in Bonetown while we were in the Twilight Vales.
"You! You there!" Rill shouts to a boy on the street. "What day is this?"
(StevenVdB) Aexana Gnome (S) HP130/130 - AC25/19/21 - CMD 24 and LEAFY (L) - HP97/97 - AC34/27/31 - CMD 20 Wednesday May 8th, 2019 5:48:15 PM
Aex does not like standing in the center of the attention. The sooner she can squeeze out of the mob the better. Once back home she can finally make an inventory of her remaining potions.
(MikeK)Bralin (AC37 T16 F32, HP 191/191) Wednesday May 8th, 2019 7:11:09 PM
Bralin rests an arm on Aexana's shoulder.
"We must needs remain in the forefront," he practically apologizes. "We are the guests of honor, and I suspect more surprises await us."
The dwarf lifts his hand and acknowledges the crowd, before sidling up to Rill.
"I believe you will be giving the requisite speech, will you not?" he asks. And is that a slight twinkle in the dour fellow's eye?
Valdor Dragonstone (ACDM Cayzle) Wednesday May 8th, 2019 8:08:20 PM
As Rill channels his inner Scrooge, you hear a jolly laugh behind you. You arrived facing Bonetown, with your backs to the sea, and as you turn toward the docks, you see the Lionfish, looking swell in proper trim and tack, the crew arrayed brightly and standing at attention.
Next to Tula, in armor so bright as to be glowing, stands the strongest half-elf you have ever seen. Indeed, it is Valdor Dragonstone.
Back in his adventuring days, he never did feel comfortable in a "face" role, letting other friends step forward, but in his retirement, Valdor has had to stand up as the premier hero of the Wold, and as he has with all his challenges, he has worked hard to win at this too. He smiles a half-shy, half-glad smile and walks down the gangplank to meet you ashore. His voice carries to you -- and to every person in line of sight.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Noble Races! To all the free and fearless people of Bonetown! Please join me in welcoming a new group of heroes to the famed Dragon Consortium!"
There is applause and cheering.
"What group saved this city and all the lands and waters around from the evil demigod Biloopl? What group has waged war on the cruel slavers who sought to steal the freedom of innocents? What group has ever acted to make your lives better?"
"This one!"
The cheering and applause this time is exponentially louder.
Valdor turns to face you heroes and bows. He says -- to you all privately -- "So my friends! Congratulations! The Silver Lady sent word of your success. Now what name have you chosen for your group?"
Terser (Warren) [AC22/13/19 - CMD 30 - HP 230/230, DR 3/-, Regen 1, Mind Blank] (25% no crit, rage 29/39, channel 5/7) Wednesday May 8th, 2019 8:39:39 PM Many thanks, and I feel you on staying out of the face role.
I'm pretty sure we're sticking to our strengths and going with a nautical theme.
The Boy. aka Jass of Downs, Gray Dragons. (SteveK) Wednesday May 8th, 2019 9:24:37 PM
The boy turns to Rill, the biggest blue eyes in an astonished face. “Coo? Why it’s Dragon’s Day!”
And the illusion melts away to reveal the emaciated form of Jass of Downs, the jovial if undead-looking Sorcerer from the Gray dragons and Dragon consortium! “Happy occasion, if I do say so myself!” He grins and winks. “And I do! I do!”
“A nautical theme will be new to the DC. And a welcome change from all the stuffiness!”
(Brock) Jozhur AC27 / Touch 18 Flat 19--CMD 30--HP 153/159 --Shadow Companion 79/79hp Wednesday May 8th, 2019 10:23:04 PM
It has been a long day (or days?), and it is not over yet. At least there are refreshments. Jozhur is happy to see the 'Fish still in tip top shape. He especially smiles as he notices Tula, then Valdor.
Young Jozhur isn't much for the spotlight, but he is growing accustomed to it. He keeps a smile on his face and occasionally waves to those who make eye contact with him. He wastes no time acquiring a mug of ale to sip on, it always makes these social situations much more enjoyable.
Townsfolk (DM Kathy) Wednesday May 8th, 2019 10:59:23 PM
The cheers from the onlookers, just like everything else in Bonetown, are a little rough. But most townsfolk seem genuinely proud of your accomplishments.
"So what are they, then?" asks one man. "The Bone Dragons?"
"Bonetown Dragons!" slurs somebody.
"Naw, you can't name 'em for a place, ya dunderhead. Briny Dragons!"
"Grog Dragons!" someone bellows, and the crowd erupts with laughter.
"I wanna be a Grog Dragon!" one man shouts.
Zane Stormfront, Iron Dragon (John C) Thursday May 9th, 2019 12:16:46 AM
A Brown and White Speck appears on the horizon, as it approaches it becomes more defined, it's a ship, sailing at around 200' in the air. From the size of the crew it must be absolutely huge in size. It seems to be sailing at a tremendous speed, as it circles the Bonetown, those with keener eyesight can tell that the crew are not human, and are actually quite small reptiles.Highlight to display spoiler: { It has a Crew of Kolbolds} One of them leans over the side and and shouts down in a squeaky voice , "Hasss da Chossen One come?" Another one slightly better well dressed and wearing a tri-corner hat cuffs the shouter up side the head, "Tay, I've telled you 'fore, hisss name is Da Bosss! You'z'id knowss if'n he wuz here." His voive was slightly less squeaky. Then the Dragons mouth at the front of the ship speaks in a deep booming voice. "Captain Zane will arrive shortly I've been informed." Within a few minutes of the ship speaking, the distinctive sound of a teleportation arrival can be heard, and a bronze haired and horned 'Taur arrives about 15' above the dock and drops on to it with a Thump. He looks around sees the townsfolk as well as the Bonetowners he'd helped out before, then he sees, or rather hears a yip from above. He looks up and sees Kip cuffing one of the crew.... He can just imagine what embarrassing thing Kip just prevented.
"So, did you have a nice trip? Now for the toughest of all decisions, and I hear some suggestions coming from the crowd already...." He actually has a smile on his face, the last time that the Bonetowner's same him smiling, he was in hand to hand with that giant undead thing.... Then you notice something new for the dragon monk, there is a hilt of a very large one-handed sword sticking over his shoulder.
Bosk DeOx of Hook City, his cohort Captain Barnacle Jane and the Calypso's Cry Thursday May 9th, 2019 12:57:53 AM
From the sea you can just make out a large ship the color of deep mahogany, and even from a distance the red cast identifies it as Calypso's Cry. Known for the unusually high number of women sailors it employed...well not so much the number of women as the captain's willingness and ability to take in young women with little or no skill and make them some of the finest sailors on Rum. At the wheel is the Captain, Barnacle Jane, a tall and beautiful woman with flowing red hair.
Beside her stands a familiar figure, a large minotaur with blond hair. Even from this distance the 9 1/2 ft tall figure is a commanding presence. Perhaps it is the 10 ft bastard sword and great sword slung across his back, a third eye in the center of his forehead, or that he casts no shadow in the Wold.
Casually he brushes some sea spray off of a black pea-coat sewn of chimera skin with cold as wisps of dark fog seeping from underneath his cloak.
Where the armor doesn't cover you can see the scorpions moving through his fur. Not crawling on top of it or under it, within in it as a ghost passes through a wall or a tattoo through the skin. If that were not strange enough, a silver Holy Symbol like you have never seen before is emblazoned on his forehead and in the center of it is living third eye darting left and right. On his breast is the adamantium emblem with the IA Shield worn by the Iron Adventurer's before they became known as the Iron Dragons.
As the ship docks the young Paladin for the Dead jumps off and calls out with laugh. How about the Flotsam Dragons!? I hear you all have been doing a bang up job! I hope you all do not mind if my friends and cohorts tie up the boat for a while. The Captain, Barnacle Jane, is an old friend from Rum that offered to take us up here. Silently he thinks to himself that the crowd must be having as much fun making a play on words with Bones as the did with Hooks.
RobC - Tahni Wyrmrider -- AC 22/13/19 -- CMD 20 -- HP 154+9Temp/154 -- See Invis,ArcaneSight,DarkVision Thursday May 9th, 2019 7:46:54 AM
This is all getting too much. Maab, Valdor, Jass, Zane and Bosk. There are idols everywhere. You'd hate to be an evil-doer in Bonetown right about now!
Despite all the party have been through and what seems to be acceptance into the consortium, Tahni still finds herself giving nods of respect to each of the heroes. With enough adventuring maybe one day she might be considered an equal. What a day that would be. It's nice to dream.
In terms of the name, well, the party have had a discussion on it. She looks to one of the others to make the grand announcement.
Restlin the Mendicant Thursday May 9th, 2019 10:34:14 AM
Restlin pops into existence without fanfare. He's dressed head to toe in a masterfully crafted crimson and gold suit, complete with matching top hat. His causal mannerisms clash with the outfit.
"This where the party's at? It's been...well, actually it's only been a few days since those science dudes threw us a party after we killed all those robots, but it's time for another one." He sadly notes Zeoll's absence. That dude always seemed to leave just as fame was creeping up on him.
"Bone Dragons aren't really the nicest of dragons. Maybe the white...no, white dragons are jerks too. Alabaster Dragons? Is that a thing?" He looks to Bosk, wondering what he brought to drink.
Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Thursday May 9th, 2019 11:11:21 AM
Dragon's Day. Everyone stares at the Black Lions, expecting ... something. Mostly everyone seems so focused on the naming of our group. It seems like there is general consensus on the name we've discussed. Rill looks sidelong at his companions as he speaks.
Borrowing from a tale he heard as a child, he begins.
"It seems the time has come my friends to talk of naming things. I see Bosk and Zane, Valdor and Jas - the equivalent of kings.
"As luck would have it, Restlin's here The mendicant's arrived! But Zeoll's noted absence leaves us just a bit deprived.
"The good Queen Maab flies overhead, in mighty dragon form. And a name must determined, lets we all stand here 'til morn.
"Much thought has been given this, and a name has been discussed. Sea Dragons is the name we choose. Now let's drink with no more fuss!"
Zane Stormfront, Iron Dragon (John C) Thursday May 9th, 2019 2:23:15 PM "Besides Alabaster, you have Sea Dragons and Pearls you could use as a call sign." Then quieter and just to the Bonetown Crew, "It's not all glitter and gold you know. Now Kip, he's pretty good at handling the ship, but the rest of the crew, are a bit to, Restlin what flowery word would you use for the majority of the new residents in our cellars about how they see me?" Zane asks his fellow Iron Dragon. "Just know this, the Universe will always find a way to keep you humble, or it'll bring you back down to earth the hard way. Trust me, I know." he says as he glances sideways up to the ship that is floating above the docks.
(MikeK)Bralin (AC37 T16 F32, HP 191/191) Thursday May 9th, 2019 7:16:06 PM "SEA DRAGONS!" Bralin bellows in agreement with his companion, friend, and dwarf kin.
The dwarf raises a mug, which he got from somewhere, in a salute and toast, downs it in two swallows, and grabs another one.
A fine thing, these celebrations. There is always a mug near at hand.
Fang (Mitch) HP: 144/177 (152rage) AC: 30/20/25 (-2 while raging, +1 while hasted) DR 1 CMD: 22 Spell List Thursday May 9th, 2019 7:50:07 PM
Fang is actually getting somewhat tired of celebrations. They've been working hard to complete the assigned tasks and she just wants to go sleep for half a day or so. Still, she nods respectfully to the dragons and adds her small voice to the call of "SEA DRAGONS!"
Beriothian the druid Thursday May 9th, 2019 9:02:09 PM
A huge water elemental appears in the blink of an eye, and just as quickly transforms into human form. An intimidating figure stands before the group, or at least he would be intimidating it wasn’t for the battle worn druid vestments draped about him that make him look just as likely to ask for spare change to challenge you to a fight. His dark auburn hair falls just past his shoulders, and while a careful observer may notice a stray vine stuck in his locks, the hair itself is surprisingly well kept. A few may recognize him as the druid Beriothian.
I apologize for the sudden appearance, I am keeping an eye on an impressive hurricane the likes of which haven't been seen in almost a decade. But I heard you had returned in triumph and had to stop by and celebrate with you!
Oh, and don't let Restline talk you out of the White Dragons, there's something to be said for "A Bunch of Jerks", it's the kind of moniker that sends waves of fear through your enemies when they hear it.
Valdor Dragonstone (ACDM Cayzle) Thursday May 9th, 2019 9:51:39 PM
Valdor nods as other Dragon Consortium heroes arrive.
"You, the good people of Bonetown, have seen at first hand how these heroes have earned Dragon Consortium membership. We will not take them from you, and in fact, their new home will be a worthy castle, likely the grandest building in town!"
"My friends, I give you the Sea Dragons!"
The crowd cheers wildly. "SEA DRAGONS! SEA DRAGONS!"
Valdor continues -- "We will not take them from you, but they now take on a larger role of dealing with the most critical threats to the Wold here and all over creation! May the Gods bless them in all they continue to do as they have blessed them to this point."
There is wild cheering and chanting.
Valdor spreads his arms, using all the training that his best friends Mordrid and Joe Hand tried to instill in him. He speaks from deep in his diaphragm.
"Crew of the Lionfish, Slaver-Bane, Demigod Defeaters! And now, Dragons!"
The crowd goes wild.
Valdor raises his hands. "Let each of these heroes speak! That is, any who do not mind being put on the spot!" He grins. "Sea Dragons, come forth and tell us a story of some facet of your careers that has brought you to this celebration!"
Terser (Warren) [AC22/13/19 - CMD 30 - HP 230/230, DR 3/-, Regen 1, Mind Blank] (25% no crit, rage 29/39, channel 5/7) Thursday May 9th, 2019 10:55:23 PM Indeed, we are the Sea Dragons. And while we may be called on to right larger wrongs than before, let no one in the seas and beyond who would deal in slaves forget that we will free any that find themselves oppressed.
Townsfolk (DM Kathy) Thursday May 9th, 2019 11:45:48 PM
The denizens of Bonetown are not accustomed to being called "good people." There are a few puzzled glances exchanged, and some muttered "who's he talking about?"
But then the time comes to cheer again, and they do so wholeheartedly.
"SEA DRAGONS, SEA DRAGONS, SEA DRAGONS!" they chant.
"Grog Dragons!" somebody yells, and there is laughter.
Valdor calls for speeches. "Speech! Speech! SPEECH!" the crowd yells in delight.
Jass of Downs, Gray Dragons. (SteveK) Friday May 10th, 2019 6:53:45 AM ”The Sea Dragons!”, Jass shouts with the others, and takes up the call, Speach! speach! speach!”
The extremely gaunt man keeps near the drink so as to be less noticeable. “People don’t want a living lich to be at their party; brings the whole aptmosphere down”, is his explanation. Still, the charismatic Jass can’t help but be a part of the celebration! He casts an Unseen Servant and Spectral hand to bring drinks to people who can’t get through the press at the tables. And he uses Prestidigitation generously to cool or warm drinks as needed.
During his ministrations, he turns to hear the Wisdom of the Sea Dragons!
Zane Stormfront, Iron Dragon (John C) Friday May 10th, 2019 10:04:53 AM
Zane shouts, The SEA DRAGONS!!", as he does, he makes a signal towards the hovering ship. A moment after the signal, a gout of flame erupts from the dragon's head at the front of the ship, it arcs out to sea a good half mile or so before it explodes. The big Taur is now truly smiling.
Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Friday May 10th, 2019 5:27:16 PM
It's been a loooong day, and it looks like this party's just getting started.
Rill whips out a wand of Lesser Restoration, and will hit each of the Black Lions/Sea Dragons that needs it. (Since this will remove the fatigued condition, it should perk everyone up.)
As for speeches, Rill is really not up for a long speech. Nonetheless, we do have a responsibility here and perhaps he can speak up enough to alleviate the pressure on his friends.
"Greetings people and pirates of Bonetown. Welcome visiting Dragons and Dieties. You all do us a great honor - probably more than we deserve. The gods and powers of the Wold have been kind to us even as they have called on us to address problems in the Middle Seas and beyond. It seems like an age ago that I was first welcomed to to this crew with bacon and beer. Jozhur, the longest standing member of our crew was there, as was Terser and Aexana.
"Since I've sailed with the Black Lions, we have put down a corrupt shipping guild. We have rescued a sentient stone that a would-be god sought to control the Middle Seas. Then we descended deep beneath the sea to end that same would-be god. We have journeyed high to Ice Peak in the Ice Vein. There we sought the counsel of Frigga'Isa, were seen and judged by the Powers Burfell and Celciun, and defeated a ja’Kollu Iss’Wyrm to close a portal with that place. We have met with the Pirates of Jack. We have defeated ships full of undead that plied the Middle Seas. We put down a slaving ring, freed the slaves, and fought in the arena in Dirt City. We joined heroes from across the Wold in a battle to save the Wold and restore the Sargrass plains.
"None of this could have been done by one alone. We have learned to work together, relying on each other's strengths as we shore up each other's defenses.
"Now we have passed your test, having brought back the Freeman’s Token from the fabled city of Fae Skiemir, and we stand here before you, proud to be from Bonetown, honored to do what is needed, and humbled to be invited into so auspicious a membership as the Dragon Consortium."
Fang (Mitch) HP: 144/177 (152rage) AC: 30/20/25 (-2 while raging, +1 while hasted) DR 1 CMD: 22 Spell List Saturday May 11th, 2019 5:06:37 AM
Fang is perked up by the Restoration, but winces and flattens her ears at all the shouting.
(MikeK)Bralin (AC37 T16 F32, HP 191/191) Saturday May 11th, 2019 9:18:51 AM
Bralin gives Rill a slight nod, accepting the Lesser Restoration spell. Tis time for speeches, as he suspected. Valdor Dragonstone called for a history of his career. He will get one.
The dwarf finds a convenient table to stand upon.
"I am Bralin Stoneminder of the Clan Corregan, Stone Warden, Black Lion, Crimson Shield, Sword of Light, Sheriff of Merrydale, Blooded of Ice Peak, Sea Dragon. I have not traveled with these worthies long, and I suspect few here know me, excepting those who have shared with me a table and a tankard."
Bralin pauses and looks out over the citizenry of Bonetown.
"Mayhap, that includes most of you after all." He raises his own tankard in salute, and takes a great gulp.
"For many years I have crossed the Wold, lending arm and axe to those in need of aid. As Rillet Savenport has stated, we have achieved much success."
The dwarf pauses again, retrieves a small marble statuette of a human boy, contemplates it for a brief moment, and returns it to his haversack. "We have also encountered failures. Tis failure that keeps one grounded. The Sea Dragons have retrieved the Freeman's Token. The seas shall be freed of the plague in which one being shackles another. And yet, we, your Dragons, know there is more that can be done, more wrongs to right, more innocents calling for aid.
Know now, whatever our name, we shall continue to answer that call."
Bralin raises his tankard again. "And I shall continue to share table and tankard. To the people of Bonetown! May they prosper always!"
Bralin drains the contents of his mug, and climbs down from the table, and makes his way to retrieve a refill. As he passes Rill, without breaking stride, he declares, "Speech".
Terser (Warren) [AC22/13/19 - CMD 30 - HP 230/230, DR 3/-, Regen 1, Mind Blank] (25% no crit, rage 29/39, channel 5/7) Saturday May 11th, 2019 11:06:41 PM
Terser waves off the charge from the wand, rolling up his sleeve and flexing to show his newish tattoo. I figured it was smart to be able to shake off the fatigue or rage rather quickly sometimes.
He also addresses the crowd, though his companions have done so rather eloquently already.
I am Terser, originally from the Scab, where I lost my family not to disease or battle, but from my own negligence.
Still, without that loss, I would not have found my family on the Lionfish. And now to extend that to the Dragon Consortium is both an honour and a privelege.
We will continue as we have, protecting all families of the Wold as we are able. Except your ears, I'm afraid they'll have so suffer some more speeches yet!
(StevenVdB) Aexana Gnome (S) HP130/130 - AC25/19/21 - CMD 24 and LEAFY (L) - HP97/97 - AC34/27/31 - CMD 20 Sunday May 12th, 2019 6:07:34 PM
When it is her turn to speak Leafy gives her a nudge in the back so there's no way to back away from it... The little Gnome fidgets her vibrant green robes as she begins her tale on how she got to be here.
"Greetings and thank you all for throwing this party...
It's been a while since I first met the crew of the Lionfish... I first laid eyes on them in the Mothering Mare Inn when visiting the Taur Islands. I wanted to find out if Taurs were more animals or humanoids... back then we had Zeoll and Magana... both you could categorize them as... well you know... anyhow they should have been here with us.
Only Jozhur remains of that old crew. It has been an honor to sail the Lionfish with him for so long. During our travels we sadly lost some crew members. Yet time and time again they have been replaced by wonderful new companions.
I dropped to death once thinking flying would keep me out of harms way... not... but the Lord Gargul granted me a ticket back only if I would buy myself a Ring of Featherfalling so I would never again plummet to the ground. Been wearing this little trinket since...
To study more on Herbalism I did abandon the crew for some time after Billoopl. When my training was complete it took some time to track down the Lionfish and it was by luck that both the Lionfish and the ship I was on got shipwrecked on the same island during a thunderous hurricane. The crew invited me back in and I've been sailing with the Lionfish again since that day and what a journey it has been!
My friends, it is my greatest honor to serve with you on the Lionfish and I thank you all for enduring me!
Sea Dragons... sounds cool! I'm honored to being part of this and I will bear that name with pride!
SEA DRAGONS!!
Townsfolk (DM Kathy) Sunday May 12th, 2019 7:59:53 PM
There is an awed "OOOOHHH" when the gout of flame bursts from the dragon figure on the ship. Light applause breaks out.
These rough-and-tumble not-quite-pirates are surprisingly skittish about unseen entities bringing them drinks. Perhaps they remember the tale of the Soul Driver.
Rill speaks, and the crowd cheers wildly.
Bralin offers a toast. Those with drinks raise their mugs and tankards in response. There are cheers and whoops.
Terser speaks to polite applause and more cheers.
Aexana speaks, ending with a shouted SEA DRAGONS! The crowd cheers, and obligingly begins chanting again. "Sea Dragons, Sea Dragons, Sea Dragons!"
Fang's poor ears are suffering, but she soldiers on.
Valdor Dragonstone (ACDM Cayzle) Sunday May 12th, 2019 8:10:34 PM
Valdor nods and applauds with the crowd, but then raises his hands.
"Friends, you know what these heroes have accomplished because they have served well the people of Bonetown, and indeed all the people who live around the Middle Seas. But the Dragon Consortium is a group whose labors cover all those in need around the entire Wold."
"The Dragon Consortium will help the Sea Dragons make a suitable home here, a castle fit for Dragons. They will be based here. We will not take them from you. HOWEVER, the Consortium will work with them as they now take on a larger scope of dealing with the most critical threats to the Wold at large. Around the Wold and even to other planes, these heroes are no longer just of Bonetown. They are of the Wold!"
"May the Gods bless them in all they continue to do as they have blessed them to this point!"
"The first part of this blessing are a few gifts that all Dragon Heroes receive."
Valdor pauses dramatically before announcing what the gifts are!
RobC - Tahni Wyrmrider -- AC 22/13/19 -- CMD 20 -- HP 154+9Temp/154 -- See Invis,ArcaneSight,DarkVision Monday May 13th, 2019 1:40:02 AM
Tahni has been quiet for the most part. She smiles, waves, nods and applauds. All the actions one would expect her to do.
Though her battles with the Dragons have still been few, she has had her fair share of excitement. The Scab will always be a memory she looks back on - for both its beauty and its darkness. Wyverns, magma elementals, purple worms, duergar and necromancers. She fought them all. Amidst all the battle though she found her soulmate. He's out there still somewhere. Bruagh. She will find him one day.
Tahni snaps back to reality. Did Valdor say a blessing?
Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Monday May 13th, 2019 11:40:36 AM
Rill says to Valdor, "A castle? We have discussed this. As the Sea Dragons, we would see our focus as protectors of the Middle Seas and the creatures and communities that rely on the seas.
"Would it be possible to instead have a ship, a sort of floating fortress that serves as our base and can be sailed from port to port where we are most needed?"
Zane Stormfront, Iron Dragon (John C) Monday May 13th, 2019 12:29:21 PM
Zane snickers....."You have no idea just what is involved with this castle, and just how you get around as a Dragon.... I didn't need Kip to bring the Spelljammer here, I just felt it appropriate for him to bring her to your celebration. You have things yet to learn, just think back to last year when Bosk and I arrived, you might be able to deduce a bit before it's explained. And that's a private matter, that discussion I mean." He brushes his mane back with his right hand. Highlight to display spoiler: { you notice a Iron ring on one of his fingers as well as a plain silver band on another, on the same hand, and a ring on his left hand as well, totaling three rings... }

Aex is agreeing with Rill on this one...
"That sounds very cool Rillet! It would seem very appropriate for the Sea Dragons to have something like a floating fortress somewhere over the vast Woldian Oceans. A location never known to other sailors... sometime close to land so it can be spotted from the shorelines... on other occasions somewhere over the horizons beyond the reach of ships. Would be handy though it the Sea Dragons would actually be able to teleport in and out of that 'castle' at will...
Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Monday May 13th, 2019 5:38:34 PM
Rill looks up to address the snickering Minotaur. "My most esteemed and respected Zane, I will freely admit that I have much to learn about a great many things, but I think you misunderstand my request. We do not seek a floating fortress for transportation.
"We may not yet know what it means to be a member of the Dragon Consortium. But we Black Lions do know something about being a light in the darkness where despair seeks to swallow things up. You brought your ship here as a gesture, as a kindness to us and to the people of Bonetown. In this same way, having a base of operations that we are able to move about the Middle Seas would be a symbol of hope wherever we dock."
(MikeK)Bralin (AC37 T16 F32, HP 191/191) Monday May 13th, 2019 6:53:20 PM
Bralin used up his weekly allotment of spoken words with the speech he just gave.
The dwarf listens closely to talk of castles and blessings, but does not say anything.
Terser (Warren) [AC22/13/19 - CMD 30 - HP 230/230, DR 3/-, Regen 1, Mind Blank] (25% no crit, rage 29/39, channel 5/7) Monday May 13th, 2019 7:28:23 PM
Terser savors the drama from Zane.
While a floating fortress sounds great and all, there's nothing quite like dwarven stone around you. And stone tends not to float so well. Unless...pumice castle?
Fang (Mitch) HP: 144/177 (152rage) AC: 30/20/25 (-2 while raging, +1 while hasted) DR 1 CMD: 22 Spell List Monday May 13th, 2019 9:53:54 PM
Fang winces slightly at the idea of a floating fortress for their castle. She really should have expected something like that, that's why she got a Ring of Water Walking before joining the group. She really wishes she was at all skilled at swimming, there was just never time to learn very well in the past (the joys of 3 skill points for half my levels... and 1 for the other half XD).
(Brock) Jozhur AC27 / Touch 18 Flat 19--CMD 30--HP 153/159 --Shadow Companion 79/79hp Monday May 13th, 2019 11:26:27 PM
Jozhur, apparently too starstruck to chime in earlier, speaks his part about the castle.
"Well, I've grown pretty fond of the Lionfish...and her crew." He pauses as his eyes catch Tula for a moment, "A larger ship would require a much larger crew, meaning bringing on new members we maybe can't trust. Besides, we want to keep Bonetown in our interests, just having a castle here serves that very well."
Townsfolk (DM Kathy) Monday May 13th, 2019 11:41:18 PM
The crowd is confused. Most of them aren't entirely sober, and they're having a hard time following this. There's going to be a castle? In Bonetown? Or maybe a ship? Or a ship that's a castle? Or a castle that's a ship?
"Grog Dragons!" someone yells, followed by laughter and hooting.
"Show us the gifts!" yells someone else.
"Yeah, let's see 'em!"
"Gifts! Gifts! Gifts! Gifts!"
Valdor Dragonstone (ACDM Cayzle) Tuesday May 14th, 2019 12:27:55 AM
Valdor laughs. "The details of your castle can be set in stone -- or wood -- at a future date. For now, let us continue the induction!"
"Before the gifts, let me lay out what the Consortium expects of its Dragon members."
"Dragons are a force for good in the Wold. Where there is evil, we stop it. No matter the sacrifice. Children look up to us as heroes, so we are role models too."
"Dragons help those who can't help themselves. We give to those in need, but not just with gold. We help others learn to support themselves."
"Dragons offer heroes advice and training. We help younger adventuring groups, guiding them to greater wisdom."
"Dragons are "knights-at-large" in every kingdom that respects decency. We act as leaders in all communities."
"We do not ask our members to take an oath, but if you Sea Dragons wish now to speak of how these values touch your souls, if you wish to speak to your commitment, please do."
RobC - Tahni Wyrmrider -- AC 22/13/19 -- CMD 20 -- HP 154+9Temp/154 -- See Invis,ArcaneSight,DarkVision Tuesday May 14th, 2019 7:48:39 AM
Like Bralin and Terser, Tahni stays pretty quiet. They are no doubt doing dwarves all over the world proud.
Maybe she should say something?
Tahni takes a step forward and gives a nod to Valdor. She looks out over the crowd and raises her hand to give them a wave. She opens her mouth to speak but, try as she might, no words come to mind. Well.. no good words.
"Uh... I do"
She has never been good at public speaking. Many are the times that she has simply introduced herself incorrectly. This may be a new highlight.
Tahni smiles politely to the crowd, gives a nod to Valdor, and steps back in line with the others.
Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Tuesday May 14th, 2019 11:57:04 AM "Valdor, I certainly support and commit to all these principles."
"As far as acting as leaders in all communities, how do you balance taking a leadership role with not supplanting the local authorities?"
Zane Stormfront, Iron Dragon (John C) Tuesday May 14th, 2019 2:32:24 PM
Zane snickers again, he clears his throat loud enough to get attention. "Do you honestly want to be in charge? Our Group is based in Hook City, that place runs on paperwork. I think they have a form to fill out just so you can be allowed to breath. Although I do think 2 or 3 of us, not me by the way, wouldn't have a problem being in charge there, they think it's too inefficient. Now in an Emergency, the Iron Dragons are deferred to if we are there to handle it. I believe that's what Valdor means by a Leadership Role."
Jass of Downs, Gray Dragons. (SteveK) Tuesday May 14th, 2019 5:39:58 PM
Jass, his jovial mein gone, produces from thin air a exquisitely carved box, sinuous dragons chasing waves and ships across the pale driftwood. Bringing it near Valdor, the gaunt human unlatches it but does not open the box. Instead, he holds it at the ready for the elf of the Golden Dragons, awaiting the approval of the oaths.
(StevenVdB) Aexana Gnome (S) HP130/130 - AC25/19/21 - CMD 24 and LEAFY (L) - HP97/97 - AC34/27/31 - CMD 20 Tuesday May 14th, 2019 6:17:17 PM
For a moment Aex observes the older Dragons as they welcome the Black Lions into the Consortium. The little greenmage wonders if this... rockstar attitude comes with the Dragon title... How can she ever even reach up to the ankles of these glorious Dragons?
Looking up at Valdor she answers.
"In the sight of your grandeur I am but a humble small shopkeeper... but if my service could aid those in the Wold that need it most I will gladly join Master Valdor... "
Fang (Mitch) HP: 144/177 (152rage) AC: 30/20/25 (-2 while raging, +1 while hasted) DR 1 CMD: 22 Spell List Tuesday May 14th, 2019 6:45:32 PM
Fang has no such notions of unworthiness. "I have worked towards this moment for a decade. I well know the responsibilities and creed of the consortium and I will live up to them as best I am able, as we all have done else you would never have offered the position."
Valdor Dragonstone (ACDM Cayzle) Tuesday May 14th, 2019 7:59:55 PM
"Yes, it is as Zane says. Dragon Heroes are not political leaders. They lead by example, and by providing a source of generosity, strength, and courage." Valdor says, "Many local and national leaders will carefully consider what you suggest, especially in your areas of dire threats that challenge the Wold -- but we are not kings!"
Valdor nods thanks to Jass, and takes the box and opens it. Within are beautiful rings carved of black coral and polished to a high sheen.
As each Sea Dragon speaks -- so far that means Tahni, Rillet, Aexana, and Fang -- Valdor has a word with each hero and offers a ring as a gift.
He hands a shiny smooth ring to Tahni, smiling to put her at ease, speaking softly for her alone. "Speaking in public is hard, but you get better with practice. Don't worry, Sea Dragon!" he says.
He bows and gives a ring to Rillet. "You will be a good leader, I think, my friend. Do not worry overmuch. All will soon be as it needs to be, as the Consortium does its work around the Wold."
"Your humility serves you well, Lady Aexana," says Valdor, as he hands her a ring. "But be confident as well, for the Consortium is confident in you."
"Fang, you are of course right," says Valdor. His voice drops in volume for privacy. "But we sometimes state the obvious for the sake of those who are listening in! We lead by example, we Dragons." He smiles and hands Fang a ring.
He looks to the remaining Sea Dragons.
(MikeK)Bralin (AC37 T16 F32, HP 191/191) Tuesday May 14th, 2019 8:00:17 PM "Aye" Bralin calls.
Terser (Warren) [AC22/13/19 - CMD 30 - HP 230/230, DR 3/-, Regen 1, Mind Blank] (25% no crit, rage 29/39, channel 5/7) Tuesday May 14th, 2019 8:35:50 PM Doing what we always do, just bigger and better? I think we can handle that. We'll do you proud.
Townsfolk (DM Kathy) Tuesday May 14th, 2019 11:29:18 PM
When the box is brought out, the crowd stops chanting and cheers. A fresh burst of cheering and applause greets each ring given to a Sea Dragon.
RobC - Tahni Wyrmrider -- AC 22/13/19 -- CMD 20 -- HP 154+9Temp/154 -- See Invis,ArcaneSight,DarkVision Wednesday May 15th, 2019 7:45:10 AM
Tahni can't help but blush when Valdor whispers to her. Bralin and Terser did a better job.
Does she put the ring on now? Is there some sort of procedure? For the mean time she clutches it tightly. It wouldn't feel right until everyone had one and they could put them on at the same time.
Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Wednesday May 15th, 2019 1:37:04 PM
Rill looks at the ring and then slips it on his finger.
"Cool ring Valdor. I am honored. What's it do?"
As we wait, Rill turns again to Zane. "Zane, what is it you enjoy most about being a member of the Dragon Consortium? What is it you think we should know about being heroes in the Wold."
Zane Stormfront, Iron Dragon (John C) Wednesday May 15th, 2019 3:44:27 PM
Rill receives an answer, "It tends to bring the best out of a Hero who becomes a member. I, myself, have gone from using a word or two most entire weeks, to actually speaking out while in public, as you can obviously tell right now." Then in the minds of those who have donned the polished coral rings already as well as the other DC members in attendance, "You can also keep conversations secret and quiet when you need to. Being able to change plans in combat, and not be overheard changing those plans is very very handy, trust me. Usually only the other Iron Dragons converse amungst each other this way, but you can contact any Dragon Consortium Member this way, and since I can see you and know you, I can limit this to your bunch as well as the other Dragons that are here. I'll leave it to Valdor to explain the rest of the tricks the rings may do, as they are probably different for each group.."
(StevenVdB) Aexana Gnome (S) HP130/130 - AC25/19/21 - CMD 24 and LEAFY (L) - HP97/97 - AC34/27/31 - CMD 20 Wednesday May 15th, 2019 7:27:27 PM
Aex takes the ring Valdor gave her in her hand and turns it around a couple of times.
"Master Valdor... I already have three rings... a Featherfalling one Lord Gargul commanded me to wear. A ring to protect me and another one to make me invisible. " At the mentioning of each ring she holds up a hand. With the last ring she holds up the hand of glory around her neck.
"Should I remove one ring to wear this one instead? What's it for??"
Fang (Mitch) HP: 144/177 (152rage) AC: 30/20/25 (-2 while raging, +1 while hasted) DR 1 CMD: 22 Spell List Wednesday May 15th, 2019 7:35:45 PM
Fang takes the ring and bows. She starts to put it on a finger, then hesitates. She already uses two magical rings and both are pretty important. After a moment she just puts it on a different finger, resolving not to activate any of her rings until she can get it sorted out. What happens when you wear too many rings anyway? She doesn't want to lose a hand to a malfunction.
Jass of Downs, Gray Dragons. (SteveK) Wednesday May 15th, 2019 8:13:47 PM
Jass laughs and holds up his hands that have not two but three magical rings! “Never fear! The Dragon consortium Ring doesn’t affect the ability to get full use of two other magic rings. “
“You see, Each hero gains a magic ring that provides the following powers when worn. The ring only functions for the specific hero and only with other heroes wearing their Communication Ring. Ring does not take a magic ring slot nor does it affect Wealth by Level. - Telepathy. With any Dragon Consortium PC with no distance restrictions. Telepathy does not work across planar barriers. It may also receive communications from the Dragon Stones scattered throughout the kingdoms, when activated during an emergency. - Status. Each hero gains 'Status' per the spell with each other DC in their adventuring group.”
(MikeK)Bralin (AC37 T16 F32, HP 191/191) Wednesday May 15th, 2019 8:54:44 PM
Bralin nods at Jass' description of the rings.
"Most useful," he agrees.
The dwarf waits patiently for Valdor.
Townsfolk (DM Kathy) Wednesday May 15th, 2019 10:00:44 PM
As the action slows a bit, the crowd starts getting restless. There are calls for more ale, more food, some fancy magic. A couple of fist fights break out.
(Brock) Jozhur AC27 / Touch 18 Flat 19--CMD 30--HP 153/159 --Shadow Companion 79/79hp Wednesday May 15th, 2019 10:03:58 PM
Jozhur nods his head to Valdor. "Those are good values to live by, ones we all strive to adhere to every day."
Terser (Warren) [AC22/13/19 - CMD 30 - HP 230/230, DR 3/-, Regen 1, Mind Blank] (25% no crit, rage 29/39, channel 5/7) Wednesday May 15th, 2019 10:32:30 PM I usually have some magic going to keep people from poking around in my head. Is that going to be a problem for these rings?
Valdor Dragonstone (ACDM Cayzle) Thursday May 16th, 2019 12:19:23 AM
Valdor listens carefully to the last three Sea Dragons -- Bralin, Terser, and Jozhur. He gives each a ring in turn.
He chuckles when Terser speaks of pride. "You and your group have already made us proud, and we will be watching your future adventures eagerly."
Bralin speaks only a few words. "Good Sir Bralin," Valdor says softly, "Your friend may be Terser, but you are tersest!"
Finally, to Jozhur, "As the most veteran Sea Dragon, I know your example will lead your team to great victories."
Listening to the conversations around them, Valdor reassures the Sea Dragons. "It is as wise Jass has explained it. The rings allow telepathic communication with anyone in the Consortium who is wearing their ring. It gives you the status of your comrades in arms. And it does not interfere with wearing other rings. It will function as you wish, so fear not."
"In addition, when your new castle, or ship, is finished, it will contain a Greater Teleport room that is yours to use freely."
He sees that the crowds are growing restless. As servitors spread throughout the crowd to refil plates and mugs, Valdor turns to the Sea Dragons. "Before we whist away to the Giggling Ghost, please address the people here, with your first chance to speak as Sea Dragons."
RobC - Tahni Wyrmrider -- AC 22/13/19 -- CMD 20 -- HP 154+9Temp/154 -- See Invis,ArcaneSight,DarkVision Thursday May 16th, 2019 7:48:23 AM
Tahni summons her courage and steps forward. She holds the ring up in the air and with a clear, bold voice she declares "We won't let you down!"
That wasn't too bad actually. Tahni slips back into the line and slides the ring onto her finger. "Testing. Testing. Can anyone hear me?" she says telepathically over the ring.
Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Thursday May 16th, 2019 11:54:48 AM Fourscore and seven years ago, our forepirates...
No, that's no good.
Friends, Boners, Countrymen, lend me your ears...
Yeah, probably not.
So long and thanks for all the fish...
Mmmm. no.
"People of Bonetown. Long have you served as our home port, and for that we shall be eternally grateful. The people and pirates of Bonetown have taught much. We've learned from you to fight hard and not give up. To be clever and resourceful. We've gained strong sea legs and learned to adapt to all situations.
"As we move into a broader role in the Wold, we will continue to carry Bonetown in our hearts. And as we have shown you all, we will continue to demand justice and fairness. We will not tolerate slavery or oppression. And we have no patience for theft and murder on the seas or in town. Remember these things as you all continue to redefine what it means to be a pirate in the Middle Seas. And remind others that we will always be watching the seas."
Rill smoothes his white robes, magically removing any spots or stains. Then he tests out his new ring to silently say to the others, "OK Valdor - can we be done with the speeches now?"
(StevenVdB) Aexana Gnome (S) HP130/130 - AC25/19/21 - CMD 24 and LEAFY (L) - HP97/97 - AC34/27/31 - CMD 20 Thursday May 16th, 2019 6:00:49 PM
Aexana intently looks at the new ring given by Valdor... it is as if all border and distances of the known Wold suddenly dissapear. Such vast power is not to be taken lightly... who is she to be granted such overwhelming power...
Given the power of the ring she thinks it is befitting to be worn on the hand that holds the Featherfalling ring.
"Hello?? It's me..."
Fang (Mitch) HP: 144/177 (152rage) AC: 30/20/25 (-2 while raging, +1 while hasted) DR 1 CMD: 22 Spell List Thursday May 16th, 2019 7:51:01 PM
Fang answers through the ring. "Yes I can hear you.
(MikeK)Bralin (AC37 T16 F32, HP 191/191) Thursday May 16th, 2019 8:09:42 PM
Bralin regards Valdor.
"Our final labor" he notes to Rill. "Speak consecutive speeches to the same audience without repeating yourself."
The dwarf reclimbs the table he used earlier.
"People of Bonetown, raise your mugs!" he calls. "On this day, men and women of Bonetown have taken their place among the elite. Call us Lions or Dragons, or occasionally Drunks, we remain one of you. May the wind fill our sails, and the sun warm our backs. May our troubles be few, and our pleasures be many. May we find love and life and an unending supply of grog. DRAGONS!"
Jass of Downs, Gray Dragons. (SteveK) Thursday May 16th, 2019 9:27:47 PM
Jass retires back to the drink tables, providing some showy but meaningless Magic’s with each prestidigitation. This is the Sea Dragon’s time, and known from long observation, their people and town too!
He waits for Valdor’s signal to move the party from Bonetown to the Giggling Ghost...
Valdor Dragonstone (ACDM Cayzle) Thursday May 16th, 2019 10:59:16 PM
Valdor raises his hands and calls out, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you ... the SEA DRAGONS!"
The crowd roars!
And with a moment of powerful magic, all the Dragon Consortium heroes are teleported to the Giggling Ghost!
[OOC: Friends, it has been fun seeing you guys, and congratulations! Please now move to the Giggling Ghost for the traditional Dragon Party! Since you won't be posting here, you will be expected to post daily there! DM Kathy will alert you as to the right time to resume posting here.]
Townsfolk (DM Kathy) Thursday May 16th, 2019 11:00:24 PM
Now that the action has picked up again, the crowd resumes cheering. They cheer Tahni's brief speech, then Rill's longer one. They seem especially fond of Bralin's. Those near the kegs appreciate Jass's magic tricks.
There are whoops, and then the "Sea Dragons!" chant starts up again.
Zane Stormfront, Iron Dragon (John C) Friday May 17th, 2019 2:54:04 PM "I'll see you at the Ghost, and congratulations to all of you. The Wold will need you when the Iron Dragons decide to retire." Zane says to the group and then he launches himself into the air and lands on the deck of his ship. 'Take us home Kip, I think the fastest will be straight up, then we can hit some real speeds and we circle around to the south." After a few commands from Kip, the ship speeds off heading upwards. Zane can be seen waving from the sterncastle.
Terser (Warren) [AC22/13/19 - CMD 30 - HP 230/230, DR 3/-, Regen 1, Mind Blank] (25% no crit, rage 29/39, channel 5/7) Friday May 17th, 2019 7:27:56 PM "Sounds like the gang's all here.
He bids the people of Bonetown a fond farewell for now. For now it's off to another party. Hopefully it won't be too long before they can take a nap.

By the time Aex figures out how the ring works most have already gone to the Giggling Ghost. She waves her goodbyes to the people of Bonetown and then also goes towards the Inn... wondering what will be happening there...
RobC - Tahni Wyrmrider -- AC 22/13/19 -- CMD 20 -- HP 154+9Temp/154 -- See Invis,ArcaneSight,DarkVision Sunday May 19th, 2019 9:46:48 PM
Tahni heads off with the others to the Giggling Ghost. Sounds like there's a big party.
Fang (Mitch) HP: 144/177 (152rage) AC: 30/20/25 (-2 while raging, +1 while hasted) DR 1 CMD: 22 Spell List Monday May 20th, 2019 7:14:51 PM
Fang tries to think of a reasonable excuse to skip the party entirely so she can go lie down. Sure magical intervention is nice, but she's already getting a migraine from this shouting crowd and doesn't really want to go join another. Unfortunately nothing comes to mind
