Does the nostalgia of what Germany used to be make you cry Yakumo?Yes, every day. Alice already posted this video before.
"Stealth is an unfair advantage, use every advantage you can. If even someone as large as me can sneak up on four wary adventurers, then sneaking up on an unaware dragon is trivial."Hmm, maybe I can do that with Yulya's ring. Still, don't these things have Blindsight or something?
if you can't lock it down by a heavy anchor, a cart even, chain a wing to a leg so it can't fly, but that's only if it's sleeping, but they're notorious for sleeping for days after a big meal. Wait him out, time is on your side."Now that's good advice! Chaining a wing to a leg while he's sleeping sounds reasonable. Yet I imagine it's hard getting a heavy chain around a dragon without waking him! Chaining him and setting him on fire sounds even more fun!
Don't expect him to hold back or be honorable, chromatic dragons have no honor or valor, only hubris and arrogance."Yeah, I learned the hard way from that green one. It was outright stupid though. But I reckon they cannot be reasoned with. I'll keep that in mind.
"My dragon was large, but not very agile, so holding on wasn't an issue, I stayed on it's back, holding on to horns and wings, he wasn't easily able to hit me, but I had free access to smash him over and over. My strength was my tool to stay on, for you it could be prowess with acrobatics to avoid his grasp."Alice thinks about the prospects of riding a snow dragon on some icy mountain top
"I was still a young man full of hubris and valor, but even I was no match for it directly, it took a siege, I stalked it like a hunter, I scarcely let it rest, I kept on him, set traps many of which he never sprung, but I wore him down. I was lucky too, a critical on his wing, and from then on his fate was sealed, unable to fly more than a few hundred feet, I chased him and kept him on the run. He had me beat in strength, power, even magic, but he underestimated me and my resilience. The battle lasted days, and I wore him down. I almost died many times, but I thank Tempus for his guidance and the strength he bestowed in me."Alice intensely listens to Brutus story and can't believe her ears
Kessandra spoke up, "When I first heard of this, and it has affected as far west as the high road in the south, I knew it couldn't be the work of a chromatic dragon. The land has become blighted by this snow and frost for many miles, this is beyond unnatural, and why would a dragon want to waste such energy to do this? They are known to make changes to their environment, but only locally, not over a whole region; it's a tremendous waste of time. Only a powerful mage could do this, and not just that, one who has been planning this for years, such a powerful ward would take a lot of planning and many resources, the next question is why? What would a mage have to gain for this? To destroy a forest for no reason is unfathomable without cause. Whoever has done this has conspired to cause a disaster without hope for redemption."Alice listens with great interest, but also worry
Brutus added, "That's another issue, concentrate on the dragon, nothing else should be on your mind, take your time, plan well."Easy for you to say...
Brutus seems satisfied and pats Yulya and Cat on the backs, "If you have any other questions let us know."Cat is also satisfied with the story and resumes eating
Good God I did not hear you coming Sir Brutus!
But how do you fix a chain Nya? Can't tie a knot into it Nya. A lock Nya or manacles Nya?
Nyaa what's a white dragon's general weakness Nya? Fire Nya?
Nyaa I know Nya not the most honorable way Nya but I need to help my friends Nya they're not strong fighters Nya we all aren't compared to you Nya! What dragon was it Nya?
You were Silver when you fought the dragon Nya?
You know Summer of Leilon? Probably not. Some runaway royalty kid, packed to the brim with magic items. I assume she wants that same tag you got. You know those people...
No idea why she didn't ask you for help but us. Said she needed heroes. She must be crazy.
...we were somehow dragged into this by Summer as Alice said...
You want me to do grapple a dragon?
That's even more insane than trying to poison it with a bait! Even if I could wrap myself around his mouth, my strength is abysmal and it would just scrape me off with its claws like a cat trying to remove a collar!
What does its breath even do? Freeze i suppose
If that thing gets me once I'm a goner!
How about digging a hole and hoping he falls into it?
How many people were with you when you fought that dragon and how many of them died?
Tell us about it Nya!
You are certainly right we must avoid its breath and keep it grounded. Though I am not sure I can work with scrolls or if we can afford them. I want to hear your dragon story as well Sir Brutus!
My main fear literally it the dragons terrifying presence. I think we encountered it once at the rest stop. I was so terrified I could not move - not do anything. So I think we must also avoid its gaze. At least me I am not as fearless as Ashley.
Moreover we are fighting a White Dragon in its domain - a snow covered mountain. It will feel perfectly comfortable there while we will be struggling with the cold and the rough terrain. I am not even sure we can reach this place in the current climate.
I am sure you have heard the land east of the beginning if Triboar Trail is covered in ice and snow. Many people have remarked that such wide-area effect is beyond the capabilities of a White Dragon. Who knows who or what is really behind this big freeze?
Thank you sir Groet! You certainly are capable!
I feel this information will certainly help us a lot! I hope I can repay this kindness - if we make it back alive that is...
I had to cut calories, my weight was creeping up. I need to go back to taking my weight every day.Same happens here.
When I'm on a diet, I always get cramps too, I wish I knew what I was missing. I do take vitamins.Lack of magnesium, calcium, water are the usual suspects but cramps can be weird. It's often hard to determine the source. Never have those luckily.
