HF 044 Blue Dragon and confrontation with Hank

[2/17/2017 10:44:56 PM] \*\*\* Rune glares at Hank. \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 10:45:15 PM] Rune: You need anger management lessons!

[2/17/2017 10:45:41 PM] Hank: We should start looking for the dragon.

[2/17/2017 10:46:11 PM] \*\*\* Rune casts her locating spell for a blue dragon? \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 10:47:00 PM] Hank: And I don't have anger management problems Rune.

[2/17/2017 10:47:28 PM] Rune: Then why were you beating up one of our two only informants.

[2/17/2017 10:48:24 PM] Hank: I was questioning him.

[2/17/2017 10:48:34 PM] Rune: With your FISTS.

[2/17/2017 10:49:27 PM] Hank:  No , with a wall.

[2/17/2017 10:50:08 PM] Hank: We should start heading towards the guild.

[2/17/2017 10:50:17 PM] Quill: ((I figured we were.))

[2/17/2017 10:50:17 PM] Josh: ...I had assumed you had been.

[2/17/2017 10:50:23 PM] Josh: (( lol ))

[2/17/2017 10:50:48 PM] Hank: (( ok ))

[2/17/2017 10:51:11 PM] Josh: Alright, can I get perception checks.

[2/17/2017 10:51:38 PM] Quill: (( 9 ))

[2/17/2017 10:51:41 PM] Hank: (( 11 ))

[2/17/2017 10:52:27 PM] Josh: So, you guys begin approaching the guild and you see that the...wait...why is that illusory blue dragon still there?  The festival's over.  And wasn't it bigger?

[2/17/2017 10:52:43 PM] Rune: ... oh. That blue dragon.

[2/17/2017 10:53:06 PM] Quill: ... can you use the rod, Rune?

[2/17/2017 10:53:29 PM] Josh: As you get closer, you see Hubert (the illusionist) waving his arms in front of the guild.

[2/17/2017 10:53:30 PM] Rune: .... I'll try to release it.

[2/17/2017 10:53:36 PM] \*\*\* Rune tries that with the rod! \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 10:53:56 PM] Josh: Let me roll arcana for you.

[2/17/2017 10:53:58 PM] Quill: Hubert?

[2/17/2017 10:54:31 PM] Josh: Hubert: "Blasted spell!  I leave it up a few days too late, and now it won't come undone."

[2/17/2017 10:54:43 PM] Quill: Are you sure it's your spell?

[2/17/2017 10:54:54 PM] Josh: Suddenly, the dragon's eyes glaze over, and it looks at Rune.

[2/17/2017 10:55:07 PM] Josh: Hubert: "Of course it's the spell, what else could--"

[2/17/2017 10:55:13 PM] Josh: Hubert goes stark white.

[2/17/2017 10:55:33 PM] Josh: His eyes unglaze and he goes back to lounging.

[2/17/2017 10:56:22 PM] Quill: .... did it work?

[2/17/2017 10:56:24 PM] Josh: Hubert: "...is that...is that a...?"

[2/17/2017 10:56:35 PM] Rune: It's a dragon. A blue one.

[2/17/2017 10:56:42 PM] Rune: I tried to release it.

[2/17/2017 10:56:54 PM] Rune: ... maybe he or she wants to be there.

[2/17/2017 10:57:01 PM] Josh: The dragon lets out a monstrous yawn, and claws gently at the roof, knocking down a few tiles.

[2/17/2017 10:57:34 PM] Hank: Probably not the safest place for it to be.

[2/17/2017 10:57:37 PM] Quill: Hey, you.  Are you still mind controlled?

[2/17/2017 10:57:57 PM] Josh: The dragon opens it eyes again and looks down at Quill.

[2/17/2017 10:58:12 PM] Josh: Dragon: "Oh...hello...would you like to be part of my hoard?"

[2/17/2017 10:58:21 PM] Josh: Dragon: "So many coming in here to worship me."

[2/17/2017 10:58:28 PM] Quill: Not especially.  Jarqin's dead.

[2/17/2017 10:58:44 PM] Josh: Dragon: "What's a Jarqin?"

[2/17/2017 10:59:05 PM] Quill: The guy who brought you here?

[2/17/2017 10:59:23 PM] Josh: Dragon: "Oh, the two-legger.  Good, he sucked."

[2/17/2017 10:59:36 PM] Quill: What did he have you doing?

[2/17/2017 11:00:03 PM] Josh: Dragon: " yawn Well...let me think...it was kind of blurry...he wanted me to find some guy."

[2/17/2017 11:00:16 PM] Josh: Dragon: "He had a stick he wanted."

[2/17/2017 11:00:58 PM] Hank: Do you remember any specifics about the guy you were supposed to find?

[2/17/2017 11:01:28 PM] Josh: Dragon: "Uh...wrinkly...small...pushing a big wooden thing with lots of stuff."

[2/17/2017 11:01:44 PM] Quill: Oh, wait, that's... what's his name.

[2/17/2017 11:01:45 PM] Josh: Dragon: "Doesn't matter, I broke the control last night.  I'm just too powerful for him."

[2/17/2017 11:02:01 PM] Quill: Oh.  Well, good job.  What's your name?

[2/17/2017 11:02:09 PM] Hank: So why are you still here?

[2/17/2017 11:02:39 PM] \*\*\* Rune hypocritically elbows Hank in the gut. \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 11:02:50 PM] Josh: Dragon: "It's so nice, and warm, and there's a big hoard under me."

[2/17/2017 11:03:55 PM] Josh: Hubert leans into Quill.  "He can't stay here."

[2/17/2017 11:04:09 PM] Quill: Hey, what's your name?

[2/17/2017 11:04:29 PM] Josh: Dragon: "Irgenth."

[2/17/2017 11:05:08 PM] Hank: "Oof"

[2/17/2017 11:05:28 PM] Hank: Is there anything that would make you want to leave?

[2/17/2017 11:05:30 PM] Quill: Irgenth.  See, here's the issue, the building you're sitting on isn't yours, really.

[2/17/2017 11:05:59 PM] Quill: ((blue dragons are the WORST.))

[2/17/2017 11:06:02 PM] Josh: Irgenth: "...but it's so comfy."

[2/17/2017 11:06:17 PM] Quill: It might not be super comfy when everyone figures out you're not an illusion.

[2/17/2017 11:06:31 PM] Josh: ((I know right.  God, who would want to be around a blue dragon all day.  :P ))

[2/17/2017 11:07:01 PM] Rune: I thought blue dragons liked nice deserts better. I don't think there's any sand here for miles. Not proper sand.

[2/17/2017 11:07:28 PM] Josh: Irgenth: "...it is kind of hard."

[2/17/2017 11:07:40 PM] Josh: Irgenth: "But it's not as hard as the mountains."

[2/17/2017 11:08:10 PM] Rune: Where is the nearest desert, Hank?

[2/17/2017 11:09:20 PM] Hank: Just south of the city

[2/17/2017 11:09:53 PM] Rune: That might be a better place than a mountain.

[2/17/2017 11:10:04 PM] Rune: And you can always go back to the mountains later if you want.

[2/17/2017 11:12:12 PM] Josh: Irgenth thinks.  "I dunno.  This place seems safe.  Elder says not to leave the herd, but I want to...but I don't want to be killed either."

[2/17/2017 11:12:38 PM] Josh: Irgenth: "...is it safe from two-leggers in the desert?"

[2/17/2017 11:12:55 PM] Creed: "I've never been to the desert, so I couldn't say personally."

[2/17/2017 11:13:27 PM] Hank: It will be safer than here, there will be less two letters around.

[2/17/2017 11:13:45 PM] Quill: Yeah.  Do you have any strong feelings for the dragons you were brought here with?

[2/17/2017 11:13:57 PM] Rune: Probably safer? If you wanted to be here you could disguise yourself like Vaighul does and the silly two-legs would never know, since they can't smell anything properly.

[2/17/2017 11:14:36 PM] Josh: Irgenth: "...Grimroth's a dick."

[2/17/2017 11:14:44 PM] Josh: Irgenth: "And I don't wanna be human."

[2/17/2017 11:15:24 PM] Quill: Well, then the desert is probably safer.  And if you get into problems, you can come and find us.

[2/17/2017 11:16:01 PM] Josh: Irgenth thinks about this and jumps off.

[2/17/2017 11:16:25 PM] Josh: Irgenth: "Ok...this hoard doesn't have enough shinnies anyway."

[2/17/2017 11:16:46 PM] Rune: We're AEGIS, by the way, if you need to find us.

[2/17/2017 11:17:00 PM] Josh: Irgenth nods and holds out a claw to shake.

[2/17/2017 11:18:12 PM] \*\*\* Rune shakes his hand. Or hers. \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 11:18:38 PM] Josh: His.

[2/17/2017 11:18:44 PM] Josh: He sounds like a guy, at least.

[2/17/2017 11:19:05 PM] Rune: Thank you, Irgenth. Be careful and enjoy the desert!

[2/17/2017 11:19:20 PM] Josh: Irgenth: "Thanks, for two-leggers, you're ok."

[2/17/2017 11:19:34 PM] Josh: Irgenth outstretches his wings and takes off into the air.

[2/17/2017 11:19:49 PM] \*\*\* Rune waves. \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 11:20:01 PM] Josh: He soars up over the houses as people look up, dumbfounded and awestruck.

[2/17/2017 11:20:18 PM] Quill: Well.  Guys, we did it, I think we're Friends of Dragons.

[2/17/2017 11:20:46 PM] Rune: He's beautiful.

[2/17/2017 11:21:08 PM] Josh: He becomes just a shadow against the bright sky, and then he can't be seen at all.

[2/17/2017 11:21:26 PM] Rune: Now, Hank, what is your deal with Jam.

[2/17/2017 11:22:04 PM] Hank: Are we going to do this right now?

[2/17/2017 11:22:09 PM] Rune: Yes.

[2/17/2017 11:22:27 PM] Rune: It's not just that he's a criminal, what is it? He didn't kill your father because I've met your father.

[2/17/2017 11:23:23 PM] Hank: We probably have other things to do. We should probably tell William what we have found out.

[2/17/2017 11:23:47 PM] Rune: I want to know. It's becoming a performance issue!

[2/17/2017 11:23:51 PM] \*\*\* Hank will start walking towards Kai. \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 11:23:52 PM] Quill: No, we should do this now, you just come off as a bit of a crazy person.

[2/17/2017 11:24:05 PM] Quill: How long till you turn on us?

[2/17/2017 11:24:10 PM] Rune: Slamming someone's head into a wall isn't a bit.

[2/17/2017 11:24:12 PM] Quill: Start tossing me against walls?

[2/17/2017 11:24:53 PM] Rune: Did he kill your wife or your partner or something?

[2/17/2017 11:25:05 PM] Rune: ... he's not your evil twin, is he?

[2/17/2017 11:25:45 PM] Hank: I wouldn't turn in you guys. I promise not to lay a hand on him again. Is that good enough.

[2/17/2017 11:26:41 PM] Rune: No! What's going ON with you?

[2/17/2017 11:26:57 PM] Rune: .... you have post-traumatic stress disorder, don't you....

[2/17/2017 11:27:23 PM] Hank: Nothing I am fine. Can we please move on.

[2/17/2017 11:27:51 PM] Quill: Seriously, you've been very unpredictable.

[2/17/2017 11:28:55 PM] Rune: Volatile even.

[2/17/2017 11:29:50 PM] Creed: "I'd stop them but I am curious."

[2/17/2017 11:29:56 PM] Hank: Well then I will endeavour to be less so

[2/17/2017 11:30:27 PM] Hank: I am sleeping now and I will hold to the promises I have made.

[2/17/2017 11:30:36 PM] Hank: Is that good enough?

[2/17/2017 11:31:03 PM] Hank: If not you can ask William to assign you a new liaison.

[2/17/2017 11:31:44 PM] Rune: I want you to be okay.

[2/17/2017 11:32:44 PM] Hank: I am fine, if that's not good enough than I can go back to normal guard duty.

[2/17/2017 11:33:18 PM] Quill: Has anyone who have ever said 'I'm fine' ever meant it?

[2/17/2017 11:33:20 PM] Rune: I don't want you to go back to normal guard duty, Hank. You're important to us.

[2/17/2017 11:35:33 PM] Hank: Then l will be ok and we can talk when tensions aren't so high and we are in a slightly more private setting ok?

[2/17/2017 11:35:44 PM] Quill: All right.

[2/17/2017 11:35:46 PM] Rune: ... all right.

[2/17/2017 11:35:50 PM] \*\*\* Rune hugs Hank. \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 11:36:25 PM] \*\*\* Hank will lightly hug back. \*\*\*
