As we join the party for this round of tomfoolery, Infernius is residing comfortably in the Tower. Tay is also, despite a rebuke from Thez, and likewise Torcuil is resting comfortably.
On other fronts, several of Trump's Generals have been burned alive by acid, while others feebly attempt to fend off a dragon with their bows. Trump and Tracy speed in to aid the scenario, while Fae attempts to direct combat and help PCs and NPCs alike to live another day.
Welcome back to the Game, we're in the middle of murder so please don't mind my lack of descriptions/invitations, lets continue shall we?

Tracy is still charging, preparing a ride-by sneak attack on the dragon's wing.

If you have the ride-by feat, attack it's wing. If not, shoot it after she charges by it.

Get in Melee range. Vanderiem does more than twice as much damage as s long now, and I get attack bonuses for him I don't with longbow. He's an awesome weapon, and the bow is not even remotely close to an equal

You're right, sorry. I took a moment to fun-post
Dice is the most recent volley of arrows. As they fly, the area around the Generals is magically darkened, and at the same time the dragon retreats into the safety of the bog. It is at this point that Tracy and Trump come onto scene, unable to engage but still undetected and at elevation.

Anyway, it couldn't hurt to find out its intentions. If it's just hunting, it might just swim off, but if it's looking to prevent anyone from finding its territory, that's a lot more to worry about.

Falling back (in context) results in a scattering of the Trolls. They weren't really a threat to begin with (most of their males died in the last excursion anyhow), so they're in emergency/damage-control mode anyhow. Doing so gives breadth from the dragon tho.

So as I see it there are a few ways to proceed on this:
Have Tracy go ethereal to look in the water and ground for the hiding spot of the dragon
After everyone else is in the non-bog area, come back on Fae and hope the dragon attacks
Do the same as above but on Tracy, making loud noises to get the dragon to attack

No. Do not go ethereal around the soldiers. The dragon will notice and attack again. It will not attack now if it knows we are there. Escort the troops forward along the known route

Black dragons are cowards. They are more likely to attack 10 soldiers with no paladin and cauchemar than 10 soldiers with a paladin and cauchemar. The only way to go is forward, and we'll look for ways around the swamp when the are out of range of the big, where the dragon is at the moment. Stay next to the bog so the dragon knows we are on it

Because five soldiers died on this mission. To say that it was unnecessary, and to go back with nothing, is a slight to honor that is worse than death. No. Never. The remaining trolls must be killed, and the dragon must be at least swiped at.

Hopefully all bodies were recovered at least in part

At current, the Generals have fallen back to the Troll-camp position, while the Trolls themselves have fled the hoomans.

Think of it this way, he's a young dragon, of a species that loves metal coins, his only assets are his estate and whatever treasure lies beneath the bog. Since he's young, he probably wants nothing more than to have his own, personal hoard of metal coins. What if, just what if, he were taught a lesson on how to make money off of his equity, in the developing world?

So here's the thing. He's a young adult, who semi-recently inherited a somewhat large estate, but he hasn't really used it for anything except hunting, because he lives in medieval times. Black dragons aren't ambitious as Reds or Blues, but they're incredibly opportunistic, they're known to ask hoomans for hidden treasure hoards before killing them; so we could have some fun here if he's willing to listen.
Since he's not that old and not that big, his treasure hoard is mediocre at best. He probably dreams of having his own underwater cavern full of gold, but it'll take him a century to acquire that much through theft alone.
What if, just what if, he could be convinced to fully exploit his property and develop his swamp into a local range/resort? It only stinks because he's been corrupting the water with his magic, but could be very attractive to travelers who visit the port from afar if developed properly, being so close to the local Football field. With modern knowledge or real-estate practice, he could potentially make more money than he could ever dream of through medieval means.

It'd require a good Diplomacy check though, with an exceptionally professional deal-maker.
>>28086
If all else fails, we could just sneak the wounded soldiers out while he's distracted thinking about modern business practices.

That stuff was just a meme-tier, non-canon idea about a business proposal that would be hilarious if it actually worked. The objective is to distract the dragon long enough to sneak the wounded through, and buy time for the others to arrive.
