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?

Okay. The scenario is this (described through latent dialogue). The Trolls had inhabited the particular section of forest, but in doing so had drawn the attention of the resident dragon. In exchange for not-murder, the trolls would offer meat. To help assuage the dragon during lean times (such as this) they woul prey on less-wild animals (read, Port Barry loggers). Neither the Dragon, nor the Trolls ever wanted to start a fuss, but it was a matter of individual and group survival.
The dragon its self doesn't really care where its meal comes from, it just likes them 'pickled' (seeded in bog-water for a duration).
Ultimately, by sending out a logging party, the party caused this whole debacle by upsetting the delicate balance of power and existential circumstance by inserting a human presence in an otheriwise homeostatic dynamic, resulting in potential catastrophe to the hoomans, which was mitigated by the party.
Congrats, the party are the bad guys. ^_^
>>28322And now we correct the Homostasis
My actions are the same
Also, communicate to Fae to lead the Generals put by an alternative path
>>28322This dragon is only a level 9 encounter, it'd be cruel to kill it now...
>>28324Yes, but now the party has killed off the Troll hunting party (rightly in that case, though it WAS due to encroachment) and now both the Trolls (cuz the wimmins and chillins haven't just died) as well as the Dragon are without a source of food.
>>28326this i need xp for psion levels. or we could keep it as a pet.
>>28322"The trolls aren't coming back. What are you going to do from now on? You can't keep attacking travelers if you wanna' stay here without problems."
>>28327If it goes for the Food, I want an attack of opportunity. Otherwise, I'm satisfied with all of them dying of starvation
>>28328Please try to poison
GM, I have Torc morph into a black dragon.
I'm gonna relocate the poor thing
>>28310
Sorry, was typing outcome before this happened. Most noble tho.
>>28331The thing killed five people
>>28334Alright
"Torc, what are you doing?"
>>28333Idk.. We did violate the NAP by treading through its swamp.
>>28336We were just passing through
>>28336>>28335>>28334Just withdraw the meat and we can leave the dragon alone
>>28337>>28336Still trespassing
>>28335"Getting it out of here, I would recommend standing back"
>>28331While I want to say "Success, it is so",... you don't know where it COULD go at the moment. I mean, it could stay here, but the Trolls (which are largely dead) had killed offf much of the local fauna. You could leave it there and hope that said fauna returned,... its a gamble either way.
>>28332thanks.
>>28336yea you are right i guess we did.
>>28337That's still technocally trespassing. You could even consider the trolls her property/cohorts, so intentions weren't exactly non-aggro.
The lawful thing to do would be st make a peace-deal.
Who knew fighting dragons could be so complicated?
>>28343>>28342It killed five of Trumpaladin's men, it is going to die
>>28345We can revive the men. We gotta remain Lawful.
>>28345tell me in character somehow.
>>28347>>28347"Both of you, come to me for a second. Away from the bog side"
>>28350"A little further away."
"Torcuil, can you cast a noise deafening zone?
>>28348Or dragon is a man (woman).
"The sea is full of fish and wildlife. You can eat your fill there," Thez says dropping to the ground.
>>28351"Hold up"
>>28352"Thez, could you lead me to the ocean if possible?"
>>28340"Hey, Skullface! What's your name?!"
>>28358"he want some fuck with the dragon."
>>28358"I'm talking to Thez about something, now hold up."
>>28358>>28356>>28359>Operation: MantisTorc is going to use his >rape-able body as bait to lead the dragon to a place where it won't cause any problems.
>>28359>>28361I hate you all so damn much
>>28359>>28359"Inferius, this dragon killed five of
my men"
>>28361>"tracy, This is mine" >>28361this is actually a good plan, itll be at an advantage here in the bog
twins.
>>28361It'll be a danger there. It can attack fishermen.
>>28366"Yes, it killed five of my men without warning"
>>28362"Remember when you were angry at Korak for being a slaver? This is the same thing here with me. We obliged you there, oblige me here"
