A New Threat

lankycheese · Post by **lankycheese** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 12:46 am

People of Dasaria! There is a new face of evil that threatens our proud nation. Prismatic dragons have been sighted attacking the village and outlieing areas, these are perhaps some of the most formidable dragons one can come across.

A lady who called herself Lowra ventured into the village after one of the dragons dissapeared. She appeared to be one of the dragon kin and spoke at first calmly and in a friendly manner. But she could not hide her taint and soon her true intentions were shown. She declared that she was apart of the Forerunners, who they are I am unsure, but their plans seem to already be in motion.

The dragon kin the proceeded to attack the village slaying several soldiers before dissapearing. She uttered cold words before she vanished:
"This village shall make a fine home after the nation to the north falls."
These Forerunners want both Dasaria and Varanna destroyed, apparently to clense the land for their supposed return.

I urge every Dasarian to stand tall against these draconic demons, they will not defeat us so easily as they seem to think. How Varana will contend with this I do not really care, but maybe they can destroy most of each other in the process.

The Dragonkin seem to be impervious to our attacks and spells, but fear not, for the gods will never abandon us, and soon the true power of these demons will be revealed and Dasaria will once again shine through.

Rally yourselves Dasarians, this will be a tough time for our nation, but it will not be our end, that I can be sure of.

~Tilirinn Showra, Paladin of Marduk.

*the old man leans heavily on his spear* Well maybe we could use these servants to our advantage. Maybe we could convince them we will be subserviant to the dragons, while we are of little threat they should concentrate their forces on Varana, and give us time to prepare our own defenses.

Jon Albrecht steps forward

Perhaps you can pretend to serve these creatures "old man" but I will do no such thing! Now is not the time for tricks, it is a time for action. They have made their intentions clear, and the blood of fellow Dasarians stains the ground. If these dragons are looking for a fight, I will be the first to thrust a sword into their side.

Ariadne looks to Tilirinn and then over at Jon with a contemplative expression.

"So the prismatics were not working alone then. A group of us came across a bunch of white dragons and then two prismatics in the marshes near Daris a few nights ago. Prismatic dragons are not normally evil so I was slightly confused. I have since spent many nights in meditation and prayer for guidance."

The half-elven paladin drew her sword and it glinted in the light of the sun.

"I agree with Master Albrecht. Now is not the time to think twice about this. We need to act. We must defend our soil. I will with all the power that Ishtar shall give me fight for that."

She then looked at the old man.

"If Tilirinn, Paladin of Marduk and Kingseeker Knight of Dasaria, says that this threat is evil, I will find no allegience with them at all. You do not be subserviant to evil."

She looked over at Jon.

"But we must be careful. Prismatic dragons on their own are a terrible foe as it is difficult to hit them. Mages find them especially difficult for they seem very impervious to magic. We must use our brains as well as our swords if we are to suceed."

"Resistant to magic...Immune to Physical Attacks....Oh my, this is a problem"

The brilliant Halfling, named Zippo Flashboom said.

"Dragons, Prismatic Dragons even. This requires RESEARCH!"

*abandoning his pieces of chalk, and the back of Peribo's Shop, now covered with various diagrams, blueprints and calacutions, Zippo starts off towards Dasar*

Heaven breaks away from the others, her expression still sullen. Finally she finds her voice. "The Queen needs to be told.. or Templar Raeflyn at the very least. We can't handle this threat by ourselves, it will destroy us. Dasar is very likely in grave danger by this, as well as Daris and Dragon's Watch."

A light-skinned blue elf and his two shadowy companions watch from the high treetops of the surrounding wilderness with quiet poise. One of the dark creatures turns its black head to the blue elf as their thoughts cross through the air. As the Darisians rally, we will keep tracking the Forerunners.

Xargon's lips stretched to his pointed ears as he replied to the magical familiar known as Xagoth, "It's been awhile since we've seen so many dragons. It'll be good hunting once again, eh Onyx?"

The second panther's eyes glinted like amber in the cool shade as his rough purple tongue slid across his giant maw.

The elf's chuckles drifted into the sky as he jumped across the larger oaks branches of the deeper eaves of the forest, followed closely by his two companions as they leapt nimbly from tree to tree like black blurs.

*Blue's eyes light up at the talk of dragons*

...Treasure...

Jon looks to the others

I agree; the Queen should be notified immediately. First, we need to contact the Brigadier and send word throughout Dasaria of this new menace. If it is a Dragon Army, then we will need every sword in Dasaria, but steel will not be enough. We will need powerful magic to defend against these creatures. I suggest we consult the lore Keepers of Dasaria. Perhaps this foe is not new? We should seek out Cirran Silverwind.

Maroo stood on Poppers Rock, pondering the situation. This town is really odd.. first a Prismatic Dragon appears. Then they tell me that it is not the first time it happens. After that a Half Dragon Lady appears who tries to murder us.. One of the Forerunners she said she was. In the years that I lived I have never heard of those. But then again, I grew up in a rather small village.. . She coughed and spit the ball of hair on the ground. She did speak of clearing out the nation of Varana first, maybe we could make a deal with the Dragons or with Varana. I think neither will be possible but one could always try. This is a very strange situation... She sniffed the air, smelling a rabbit and ran after it towards the Forest. "But first.. Lunch.."

"Rush in with your swords raised, and you shall all end up like those before you. I am an old man because I am no fool. Let us look at what we know so far. A group of dragons that are not inherantly evil seem to be aligned with a new group" Thinks for a moment "Instead of running head long into the path of the dragons why not attack those they are aligned with. It may very well be this group has a means of controlling them"

Dayn growls and shouts at those around him. "Fools all of you! Has this gone insane calm yourselves down. Tilirinn you do well to stir chaos upon this land you fool."

He quickly rubs his sword against his pure black cloak the blood of his enemies disappearing when it touches the cloak. "Are you as foolish as mad. You are the worst I have seen in years and most likely for years to come elf. Though attempting to warn Dasarians you have caused chaos upon our land! These beings are most likely from the god Tiamat lord of Chaos and you are falling directly within those plans. EVERYONE!" He shouts to calm the noise. "Do not act so hastly, think before you act for it will be the death of us all.."

He growls once more pulling his cloak around his shoulders and talks below his breath. "I have seen many of my kind act like this, but an elf surely I would have thought better."

*looks at Dayn* "I thankyou for confirming my point but your harsh words are not helping things here." *walks over to the Golden Boy* "Some of the best rangers and rogues walk these lands, let us use their talents to gather information. Form a solid plan before commiting lives to battle"

Crimson Knightmare · Post by **Crimson Knightmare** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 10:24 pm

*He turns to the old man* "My words were harsh and I understand and sorry for but the point stands. I doubt the rangers or rogues can gather the information we need sadly, these creatures can see us where ever we go.. The answers lay in the books I am already preparing to leave for Dasar for the next few days mayhaps... I have already asked that a women join me but she was to oversure with herself to give me her name which her advice and thoughts would have been helpful. I will wait for Falson to lay my plans for him and make these things possibly happen. If I do not find what I am looking for withing Dasar I will pay a special visit to the ice caves and delve deep within to the library there. As dangerous as it may be it will be be needed to be done."

He looks around once more. " We must be careful with this one. Something wrong is in the land as we all can tell but we should not act as hastly as we have already began to do so.. Or.. Perhaps as brought up by another from a conversation earlier. We should search out Cirrian.. Perhaps he can help?"

Heaven turns to him. "If you knew anything, you fool, you would know Tiamat is no god of chaos. Many gods and goddesses bring chaos, both good and evil. The balance between the two must remain just that--balanced, or else the land will suffer. I tend to believe the old man, someone is controlling these dragons. Good archons, normally good, are now chaotic and evil in the presence of these creatures. It isn't normal magic." Her tone is quite cold, and obviously one of very little patience.
