HF 043 Quill at the Apartment

[2/10/17, 8:22:40 PM] Josh: With two guards at your back, Pip and Zeril, you ascend the stairs?

[2/10/17, 8:22:54 PM] Quill: Yep.

[2/10/17, 8:24:03 PM] Josh: You run up, as you do, you pass several wealthy looking residents in their night clothes, coming out to see what is up.

[2/10/17, 8:24:49 PM] Quill: Back into your rooms, folks, guard business!

[2/10/17, 8:24:55 PM] Josh: Eventually, you find the floor you are clearly looking for, as you see two guards out in the hall.  Lying down.  Partially melted.

[2/10/17, 8:25:42 PM] Quill: ((So... dead then?))

[2/10/17, 8:25:54 PM] Josh: ((You would think.))

[2/10/17, 8:26:12 PM] Quill: Quill goes in.

[2/10/17, 8:26:49 PM] Josh: You see William, battle damaged, weapon out, back to the door.

[2/10/17, 8:27:11 PM] Quill: Willliam?

[2/10/17, 8:27:45 PM] Josh: William: "GYAH!"

[2/10/17, 8:27:54 PM] Josh: He swings in your general direction, hitting air.

[2/10/17, 8:28:13 PM] Quill: What happened?

[2/10/17, 8:28:26 PM] Josh: William: "Shhhh"

[2/10/17, 8:28:40 PM] Josh: William whispers.  "One of them is still here."

[2/10/17, 8:29:20 PM] Quill: Quill nods, and scans the room carefully.

[2/10/17, 8:29:50 PM] Josh: A low growling sound fills the air.

[2/10/17, 8:30:13 PM] Josh: Pip and Zeril enter, Pip has a crossbow drawn.  Zeril, an axe.

[2/10/17, 8:30:18 PM] Josh: Dragon: "Kill."

[2/10/17, 8:31:06 PM] Quill: I know you can hear me.  I didn't think dragons were this easy to mind control.

[2/10/17, 8:31:16 PM] Josh: Dragon: "Kill."

[2/10/17, 8:32:07 PM] Quill: The legend definitely doesn't live up to the reality, does it?

[2/10/17, 8:32:16 PM] Quill: ((Can I tell where the voice is coming from?))

[2/10/17, 8:32:23 PM] Josh: ((Roll perception))

[2/10/17, 8:32:39 PM] Quill: ((16))

[2/10/17, 8:32:49 PM] Josh: You note a shadow coming from the window.

[2/10/17, 8:33:29 PM] Quill: Quill nods in that direction.

[2/10/17, 8:33:31 PM] Josh: The shadow turns it's head.

[2/10/17, 8:33:44 PM] Josh: And you see two piercing green eyes in the darkness.

[2/10/17, 8:36:18 PM] Quill: ((Gonna try something here...))

[2/10/17, 8:37:25 PM] Quill: You don't want to hurt us.  You want us to help you find the one who enslaved you, don't you?  ((Suggestion, DC 15.))

[2/10/17, 8:38:38 PM] Josh: There seems to be a momentary pause.  The dragon (which you now see is a black dragon, roughly Baroth's size), does not move or respond.

[2/10/17, 8:38:44 PM] Josh: But she does stop saying kill.

[2/10/17, 8:38:50 PM] Josh: So...there's that.

[2/10/17, 8:39:47 PM] Quill: ((Now, as a bard, I have the ability to use an action to give a friendly target advantage on will saves.  Do I think I can use that here, now that she seems to not be in total kill mode?))

[2/10/17, 8:40:16 PM] Josh: ...you may certainly try.

[2/10/17, 8:41:27 PM] Quill: Quill does that, then.  It's not a roll, it just says that I do a performance, so Quill will just keep talking.  "You have definitely been wronged.  We're trying to catch the one that did this to you, but we need your help."

[2/10/17, 8:42:15 PM] Josh: The dragon looks you over.  It seems...confused.

[2/10/17, 8:42:29 PM] Josh: Dragon: "...ki...kill..."

[2/10/17, 8:42:50 PM] Quill: Fight it.  He's not here anymore, it's just us.

[2/10/17, 8:43:51 PM] Josh: The dragon shakes her head and looks up at you.

[2/10/17, 8:44:20 PM] Josh: Dragon: "...you...you...who are you?"

[2/10/17, 8:44:43 PM] Quill: My name is Quill.  We met before, at the airship, do you remember?

[2/10/17, 8:45:09 PM] Josh: Dragon: "...yes..."

[2/10/17, 8:45:23 PM] Josh: Dragon: "You do something...to my mind."

[2/10/17, 8:45:40 PM] Quill: I'm trying to help you fight Jarqin's control.

[2/10/17, 8:46:38 PM] Josh: Dragon: "You did...thank you, two-legger."

[2/10/17, 8:46:51 PM] Quill: Do you know where he went?

[2/10/17, 8:48:17 PM] Josh: Dragon: "...airships were no good.  The white one, filthy two-legger knew about another way.  Underground."

[2/10/17, 8:48:30 PM] Quill: What's your name?

[2/10/17, 8:49:40 PM] Josh: "Vaiguhl."

[2/10/17, 8:49:57 PM] Quill: Do you know if he's going anywhere specific, Vaiguhl?

[2/10/17, 8:50:19 PM] Josh: Vaiguhl: "I do not know.  He knew that Baroth had...Baroth?!?  Is he ok?!?"

[2/10/17, 8:50:42 PM] Quill: Baroth is okay.  He tried to kill us, but we broke him free.

[2/10/17, 8:51:00 PM] Quill: That Baroth had what?

[2/10/17, 8:51:56 PM] Josh: Vaiguhl: "He saw he had failed.  He knew that between Baroth and the planewalker you would know what he had done.  So, he wanted to flee."

[2/10/17, 8:52:11 PM] Quill: Quill nods.  "Okay."

[2/10/17, 8:52:26 PM] Quill: Quill goes for his badge.

[2/10/17, 8:54:54 PM] Quill: Where are you?  Do you have him?  We have the black dragon lady here.  Her name is Vaiguhl.

[2/10/17, 8:59:47 PM] Quill: Quill looks at Vaiguhl.  "Can you come with us?"

[2/10/17, 9:00:04 PM] Josh: Vaighul: "Why would I want to?"

[2/10/17, 9:01:00 PM] Quill: Quill shrugs.  "Revenge? We want to take down Jarqin.  You know, really ruin him.  Not just kill him."

[2/10/17, 9:01:38 PM] Quill: Baroth is helping us out already, I was just going to see if you wanted to meet up with him at the station.

[2/10/17, 9:04:24 PM] Josh: Vaighul: "If Baroth shall come with us.  I go where my brothers shall go.  This land of two-leggers bores me."

[2/10/17, 9:04:59 PM] Quill: We're not planning on splitting you guys up at all, I promise.  We just need your help nailing Jarqin.

[2/10/17, 9:05:10 PM] Quill: Quill speaks into the badge again.  "Rune?"

[2/10/17, 9:08:34 PM] Quill: Zeril, can you take Vaighul here to see Baroth?

[2/10/17, 9:09:27 PM] Josh: Zeril: "Jarqin's not here, I thought."

[2/10/17, 9:10:51 PM] Quill: ((Sorry, editing on an ipad is a pain.))

[2/10/17, 9:11:01 PM] Josh: Josh nods

[2/10/17, 9:14:43 PM] Quill: Quill looks at Zeril.  "Can you do that?  Rune and the others are tracking down Jarqin now."

[2/10/17, 9:15:39 PM] Josh: Zeril nods.

[2/10/17, 9:15:44 PM] Josh: You run to where they were.

[2/10/17, 9:16:25 PM] Quill: Yep, trying to find a lead on what direction they went in.
