• OOC: And now I shall await your return. I'll be checking back here every few days, so once you post, give me about 3 days to respond. If you'd like, we can pick up the pace from there. *twiddles fingers while humming* (NT) -- Fate, 20:57:20 02/11/05 Fri
  • Oh, what do you do with a drunken sailor? What do you do with a drunken sailor? What do ya do with a drunken sailooooor...early in the morning? Cast him overboard and watch him swim! Nadia, I realize you are probably dead, but I'm not yet! (NT) -- Fate the Patient, 15:15:19 05/04/05 Wed
    • Okay, now I think I'm dead. So is everyone else. Wouldn't it be funny to restart this place? (NT) -- Fate (kinda), 11:22:06 12/03/05 Sat

• The female dragon appears to be extremely irked that the male didn't leave at once. A deep breath is taken in, when she emits an ear-splitting roar, that seems to shake the whole cavern. The male seems stiffen his resolve to not be pushed around, and gives a roar of his own, easily as loud as the female's. Once the echos fade away, they just stand there, glaring at eachother, each waiting for the other to back down, each seeming to get more upset with the other for every moment of delay. Nadia's quite forgotten amid their quarrel, and her music goes unheard. (NT) -- Fate, 06:17:58 04/07/03 Mon
• Nadia continued to play as she thought to herself. "Hmm, I don't think it would be very smart to stay here, I think I will go search somewhere else." She plays very softly and quietly exits the cavern. She stops her playing completely and goes into a nearby cavern. (NT) -- Nadia, 18:43:43 04/25/03 Fri
• The male notices Nadia leave, and the sound of claws on stone is heard, followed by the nose of the green male poking around the corner. A big sniff of curiousity is followed by the sound of the great weight of the female laying down in the cavern, and the male quickly withdraws his nose. A quiet hiss is heard, and the male walks in the opposite direction of the female. The cavern Nadia has entered is in shadows, and not as big as the one she just left. There doesn't appear to be anything inside, but with the curves of the rock, that's not guaranteed. (NT) -- Fate, 07:25:11 04/28/03 Mon
• OOC: Sorry, it's been a while, yeah 4 months. Forgive me. BIC: Nadia looked around in the cavern. The shadows scared her, but she decided to explore them anyways. She followed the walls with her fingers, making sure she wasn't missing anything that could be hidden. (NT) -- Nadia, 20:02:54 08/29/03 Fri
• OOC: Welcome back! BIC: Upon closer inspection, the cavern proves to be empty, save for a few small bats huddled together in a corner. Besides the way Nadia came in, it appears to have no exits at first, but around a ridge of rock, a small tunnel is just visible. It's high up, and appears to be just big enough to squeeze through, but it looks like it opens up just past the entrance. The climb up to it is short, but looks fairly difficult, with hand and foot holds being few. After the look around, the air seems suddenly quiet, and the reason becomes clear quickly when it's broken by what can only be a loud dragon snore. Things seem to have quieted down in the other cavern. (NT) -- Fate, 19:10:22 09/11/03 Thu
• Nadia decided to give the tunnel a try despite the fact that it was hard to climb up and she had no experience climbing. -- Nadia, 14:45:28 10/15/03 Wed
• The climb proves difficult indeed, but after a lot of effort, and a few sticky situations, Nadia just manages to make it. If the previous cavern was dark, this tunnel makes it look as brightly lit as noon on a cloudless day in summer. Despite the small opening leading to it, the height of this tunnel is well above Nadia's head. It's hard to make much out in the darkness, but the sounds speak volumes. Aside from the occasional sound of dripping water and the sound of Nadia's breathing, all is quiet. In fact, it's possible to hear the quiet rustling of the group of bats in the previous cavern. The hollow sound the dripping water tells of the long, wide path that the tunnel takes. (NT) -- Fate, 09:22:30 10/17/03 Fri
• Nadia felt very anxious to find a dragon that she could hopefully win over, so, keeping her right hand on her sling, she continued down the tunnel quickly but carefully, examining each little corner and crevace she could, making sure she wasn't going to be suprised. (NT) -- Nadia, 17:16:26 01/30/04 Fri
• Nadia wanders down random corridors, not hearing or seeing much and growing increasingly frustrated. So much so that at first she doesn't hear the deep, rhythmic sound coming from a dark cave to her right. (NT) -- Fate, 18:57:26 01/30/04 Fri
  • Nadia became so frustrated that she sat down to try to calm herself down. "I just need a rest, I've been here long and I need to rest my mind." She sat down on a nearby rock, close to the cave to her right. She started to get a headache and concentrated on trying to stop it. (NT) -- Nadia, 19:01:04 01/30/04 Fri
• Eventually Nadia realizes that the headache is not all due to frustration. Dimly she hears the rhythmic sound. Listening closely, she realizes which direction it is coming from. On closure inspection of the wall to her right, she notices a dark cave with a smooth entrance, as if it was worn down by something. It becomes apparent that the sound is the inhale\exhale of some large creature. (NT) -- Fate, 18:40:46 04/05/04 Mon

• The cavern is indeed small. As Nadia walks on, the walls close in tighter and tighter. Soon, the space is too small for the girl to squeeze through. (NT) -- Fate, 15:10:09 01/13/03 Mon
• "Well, dead end. No dragons here." She turns around and goes back to where she started. "Hmm, where would a dragon be?" She looked around and saw a large opening. "Well, small didn't work, how about large?" She ventures there, now having her hand gripped on the sling. (NT) -- Nadia, 17:00:20 01/14/03 Tue
• Nadia hears low grumbling somewhere in the distance. The caves and hallways echo the sound, bouncing it around until all trace of where it originally started from is lost. (NT) -- Fate, 15:32:13 01/21/03 Tue
• The sound makes Nadia take out her sling in terror, and she aimed, looking around, but was unable to see the source of the sound. She put her sling back on the belt and tried to calm her wild heart. "Well, I must be getting close," she thought to herself. "Now where did that sound come from? Where there's a sound, there's got to be a dragon." She looked around and saw a path that seemed to lead downward. With her heart still racing, Nadia ventured there, still with her hand at her sling, ready to pull it out any second. (NT) -- Nadia, 16:00:45 01/22/03 Wed
• She hears the noise again, loud and harsh. Again, it is distorted by the echoes. However, Nadia notices that it seems to be a little clearer sounding down the tunnel that opens up to the right. As she approaches, she can see that the tunnel she is currently in also proceeds forward, and then turns a corner to the left. (NT) -- Fate, 11:50:37 01/25/03 Sat
• Nadia decides to go for the tunnel with the clearer sounding noise, for there just had to be a dragon attached to that noise. Her heart raced faster and faster with each step she took, and she soon was shaking violently as she made her way through the tunnel. (NT) -- Nadia, 19:59:41 01/25/03 Sat
• The tunnel wanders aimlessly through the mountain, turning several times. Eventually it opens to a medium cave. Broken stalactites lie everywhere, and a small pool ripples gently off to one side, but otherwise the room is empty as far as Nadia can tell. (NT) -- Fate, 17:59:25 01/29/03 Wed
• Nadia looks around in the room. "Hmm, why do I hear a dragon and not see one? I can't stand the echoing. It is throwing me off." She walked around the room to make sure there wasn't any more tunnels, then when she was satisfied, she rested next to the pool of water. She felt her stomach growl, and she decided that she would take a small rest and eat. "After all, there's no dragons in here." She opened her knapsack and pulled out some bread and cheese. She ate it delicately and looked into the pool of water. (NT) -- Nadia, 18:08:53 01/30/03 Thu
• The pool ripples again, as if disturbed by a draft of air. Looking up, Nadia realizes that there is an opening in the cave roof situated directly over the water. A light draft of air ebbs into the room from the shaft above. (NT) -- Fate, 15:42:28 02/04/03 Tue
• Nadia drops her food. "Wow, it's amazing how I can miss something so easily. I wonder where that air is coming from." She looked up to try to see anything specific. (NT) -- Nadia, 15:54:03 02/14/03 Fri
• The passage is only dimly lit. The sides of are jagged and porous. Nadia can tell that the opening is on the floor of a passage that stretches right and left of what she can see. (NT) -- Fate, 08:48:42 02/22/03 Sat
• Nadia quickly gathers her things and leaves the room to try to find that path. She goes up a trail and makes it into the room above the one she was in. She looks down and sees the similar pool. She follows the trail that has dim light at the end. (NT) -- Nadia, 15:49:19 03/14/03 Fri
• The passage has a damp floor, and there appears to have been a small rivlet of water flowing down it only a short time ago, probibly the source of the pool in the lower cave. A cool breeze passes gently along it towards the pool. At the other end of the passage there appears to be a large cavern, more brightly lit than most of the caverns. About a hundred feet before reaching the cavern, the sound of slow, heavy breathing is heard coming from it. (NT) -- Fate, 14:59:31 03/16/03 Sun
• When Nadia heard the heavy breathing, she soon felt the most fear that she had ever felt in her life. She was even too scared to run away. Ever so slowly, she tiptoed towards what she thought was a dragon, her hands trembling as she held the sling and a rock. Unfortunately for her, a rock was sticking out of the ground that she could not see and she tripped, scrapping her legs on the sharp rocks. (NT) -- Nadia, 15:25:41 03/20/03 Thu
• Nadia falls just short of the cavern, and from her position she can see it fully. It is lit by a small crack in the roof, from which water drips, though it's likely that it pours from the crack when it rains outside. From its light, it's easy to see that the cavern is indeed very large, perhaps equal to the main cavern back home. But the most eye-catching part of the cavern is the dragon, a dark green one that's on the smallish side, fast asleep to one side of the cavern. It's so asleep, in fact, that Nadia's anti-graceful moment is apparently unnoticed. (NT) -- Fate, 09:09:41 03/21/03 Fri
• Nadia got herself up carefully and gazed at the sleeping dragon. (Rest inside) -- Nadia, 14:42:22 03/22/03 Sat
• For a few moments, there's no response from the dragon, when the quiet sound of scales rubbing on rock signal it's awake, followed by a rather loud yawn. This is quickly followed by the sound of claws on rocks as it gets to it's feet, sniffing the air to try to determine where the echoing flute sounds are coming from. (NT) -- Fate, 11:14:04 03/24/03 Mon
• Nadia hears the noises the dragon makes as it gets up. She slowly gets up from her hiding place, still playing the mellow melody. She let herself be in full sight for the dragon, hoping it would find her as a peaceful person rather than someone trying to attack it, but she was ready to drop her flute and grab her sling at any given moment. She continued to play, watching the dragon very carefully. (NT) -- Nadia, 16:04:52 04/01/03 Tue
  • The dragon cocks his head at Nadia (for, now that he's awake, it's aparent by his mannerisms that he's a he), when the sound of claws on stone attracts his attention to a large tunnel behind him. Out of it another dragon comes with apparent suddeness. The little green male appears to be a meer dragonet compared her large, black form. Spotting Nadia, she gives a look of surprise, but her main focus is on the male. A small hiss of irritation comes from her mouth as she eyes him, not liking him being here. The male hisses back, but seems wary of upsetting a dragon so much bigger than himself. (NT) -- Fate, 09:14:09 04/03/03 Thu

• My profound apologies for the delay... -- Erimani Soran, 19:22:27 01/15/03 Wed
  • A tunnel opens wide before her. The lamp that Erim holds illuminates enough of it for her to see that it has a high ceiling and rough walls. The tunnel ends abruptly after a short ways, opening into a small cave. Several other tunnels lead off of the cave. (NT) -- Fate, 11:54:55 01/25/03 Sat
    • Erimani paces the cavern's edge for a moment, scanning the tunnels with careful scrutiny. "The domain of the dragons is certain to be found near the center of the volcanoes, yet they must have access to the surface..." Erimani muses. She stoops, collecting several round stones from the cavern floor. -- Erimani Soran, 20:51:35 03/03/03 Mon
• Suddenly, a deep rumbling is heard through the cavern, seeming to come from all directions at once. Another follows, this sounding a bit lower and clearer, and is just identifiable as a dragon roar from far below the cavern. After a few moments of silence, a slow, scuffling sound is heard coming closer, from the second tunnel to the left. (NT) -- Fate, 14:42:22 03/16/03 Sun
• Erimani, hearing the first rumble, stands poised a short ways down the second tunnel, listening. She returns with swift and silent steps to the cavern above, coming to stand in the center of the room, a better position from which to meet the coming dragon... -- Erimani Soran, 20:54:54 03/20/03 Thu
• Abruptly, the scuffling sound stops, and, from the sound of it, still quite far away, though it's hard to tell with all of the echos in this cave. Everything falls strangely silent, and it seems to be even quieter that is was before the dragon roars. (NT) -- Fate, 09:21:59 03/21/03 Fri
  • After what seems like an interminable moment (I'm sorry, Avalikia) spent listening for any indication of movement, Erimani shakes her head....(Continued inside) -- Erimani Soran, 15:41:22 06/19/03 Thu
• OOC: Yay! BIC: The tunnel is long and winding, steeply sloped downwards, and in places quite narrow, certainly not a tunnel that a dragon could use. But after going some distance down the tunnel, a faint sound is heard, but it's not identifiable until Erimani is further down the tunnel and it repeats, and sounds like a rather frustrated sigh from a rather large frustrated individual. (NT) -- Fate, 07:15:52 06/23/03 Mon
  • There is a momentary check in Erimani's stride as she does some rapid thinking. Though cautious, she is resolute, unafraid. Even in the worst case, (Perhaps the dragon is frustrated about the lack of available mealstuff,) her edge should afford her the chance to escape. So close. As it is, she cannot do any more planning, but she continues down the tunnel towards the singular noise, making no sound to mark her own passage. Near the opening she sets the lamp down on the smooth floor, leaving both hands free to wield the staff, and looks around with sharp eyes to assess the situation. (NT) -- Erimani Soran, 16:50:31 07/29/03 Tue
• From just inside the tunnel, the cavern takes a moment to make out, for it's rather dark inside of it, especially without the full light of the lamp. It is, however, not completely dark, for some phosphorescant algae is growing on the far end of it. The cavern is large and nearly circular, perhaps the length of 5 good-sized dragons. Speaking of good-sized dragons, there's one next to the wall to Erimani's left. It seems preoccupied on a large dragon-sized tunnel in front of it that seems to lead further into the mountain. He is dark of skin and hard to see in little light, but the glint of his scales shows him to be pacing back and forth in front of the tunnel, apparently in a state of great agitation, though there's nothing seeable in the tunnel beyond him. (NT) -- Fate, 16:32:43 08/18/03 Mon
  • Erimani considers the sight of the dragon with a long indrawn breath, impressed with the power expressed in its movements. Somehow even the words of dragon-lore fall short in their attempt to describe the sheer intensity of a free dragon. I am taking my place in an ageless pattern, she realizes, A pattern played out by untold individuals before me, but each encounter is no less profound than the first. She gives a peculiar smile. Or less perilous. She will not let admiration cloud her wits.Marking the dragon's agitation, Erimani decides that it would be extremely unwise to make any sudden startling moves. Distress him further and I provoke an unnecessary outlash. She takes up the clay lamp, holding it before her with a remarkably steady hand, and begins approaching the dragon, her steps slow and measured, her eyes watching for the first sign of reaction. (NT) -- Erimani Soran, 20:47:39 08/20/03 Wed
    • (OOC: Sorry about the seeming lack of quotation marks in the last message...I was trying to italicize certain bits, but it didn't show up...) (NT) -- Erim's player, 20:50:17 08/20/03 Wed
• The dragon remains remarkably oblivious of Erimani's movements, and it takes a few moments for him to see her even when she comes fully into view. Despite Erimani's gentle approach, the dragon seems startled by her seemingly sudden appearance, for in his normal state of mind, he'd likely have heard or smelled her coming long before. For an instant the dragon pauses, seeming to marvel at the chance that an elf has come so close to him without him noticing. The moment this fact is properly registered and filed away for future use, the dragon is quick to act. This action takes the form of a large jet of hot flame aimed directly at Erimani. (NT) -- Fate, 21:01:20 08/21/03 Thu

(NT) -- Mike Drago, 12:00:22 06/20/02 Thu
  • After many seemingly endless minutes, maybe even hours, the atmosphere around Mike begins to change. The tunnels and caves grow larger, and the air carries a distinct tint of sulfur in it. The heat intensifies, and Mike thinks he hears movement in the distance. (NT) -- Fate, 18:51:46 06/28/02 Fri
• Mike Drago smiles as his hours of hiking pay off. He draws his sword. The handle is scalding hot, yet the blade seems to be made for this kind of heat. He approches the nose, knowing the task that lays before him, and hopes he is up to the task. (NT) -- Mike Drago, 12:40:24 07/04/02 Thu

  • OOC: So sorry about the wait! BIC: The cave is dark. Loud scuffling noises can be heard on the opposite end. After a few moments, however, they start to fade and become quieter until all is silent again except for the steady dripping of water echoing from somewhere in the mountain. (NT) -- Fate, 17:50:35 07/24/02 Wed
• Mike Drago hears it fade and begins to run after the sound. He had looked too long for this dragon for it to get away! The only problem is Mike can't see very well and runs into a wall. Mike mutters to himself and walks quickly after the noise. (NT) -- Mike Drago, 16:55:02 07/27/02 Sat
  • A very faint sound of something hard being rubbed against rock can be heard up ahead, echoing slightly. Mike suddenly realizes that he is following a tunnel. The light grows dimmer until it is almost pitch black. The tunnel goes on for a long time, until it abruptly opens up into a larger area. As far as Mike can tell, the dragon is not there. (NT) -- Fate, 10:46:44 07/29/02 Mon
    • Mike Drago looks around, but sees nothing. He can barely see at all anyway. Mike, not wanting to turn back now, feels around the room for another way out, or perhaps something hiding in the corner... (NT) -- Mike Drago, 10:24:49 08/07/02 Wed
• His fingers find an opening in the wall; another tunnel. This one is shorter then the first, and again it opens into a cavern. For some reason, this room isn't as dark as the others, and Mike can make out a large form huddled in the middle. (NT) -- Fate, 15:50:19 08/09/02 Fri

• Mike Drago's bet was right on the money. He rolled out of the way just in time. He runs toward the dragon at a mad charge, hopeing to get on the great creatures back... (NT) -- Mike Drago, 11:16:57 09/12/02 Thu
• The creature tries to move out of Mike's way, but its large bulk is hard to move. Instead it moves its tail between Drago and itself, whipping it through the air. (NT) -- Fate, 13:36:07 09/21/02 Sat
• Mike is like a charging bull toward the dragon. The tail in the air is the least of the his worries. He gets out a bag for the purpose of distracting the dragon. It is simply sand, but when put in the eyes can be very effective for blinding the dragon. Mike opens the bag and tosses it at the eyes of the dragon and attempts to get onto the dragon's back... (NT) -- Mike Drago, 18:39:00 09/22/02 Sun
• The dragon rears up, it's head brushing the ceiling, and claws at its eyes, trying to dislodge the sand. It howls with annoyance, and lets out another stream of fire. (NT) -- Fate, 06:02:28 09/25/02 Wed
• This time, Mike is not so lucky. The fire, although Mike is able to dodge it, cause even the leather he wore to burst into brilliant flame. Mike hurredly roals to smuther the flames, but in that time the dragon is clearing his eyes. Seeing no way to get on top of the dragon, he draws his blade and stands to begin a terrible battle. (NT) -- Mike Drago, 14:50:18 10/06/02 Sun
• Soon the dragon finishes clearing its eyes. It lowers his claws and hisses at Mike, jaw working. Suddenly it reaches out with a front claw and picks him clear off the ground. It shakes him vigorously, paw firmly around Mike's middle. It pulls the sword out of his hand by its other paw and drops it on the ground. (NT) -- Fate, 09:39:29 10/11/02 Fri
• "Noooo!" Mike yells as the dragon takes ARANGOTOTH from his hands. At first, Mike has no idea what to do. He reaches despirately into his tunic, looking for anything that might save him. All he can find is a ham Mike had wanted for his lunch, but under the circumstances... He hurls the ham toward the dragon, hoping his plan would work... (NT) -- Mike Drago, 17:24:49 10/12/02 Sat
• The ham hits the dragon squarely on the head, and it growls in exasperation. It takes a deep breath in through its nose, preparing to flame again, and stops. It sniffs. Lowering its head, it looks around until it locates the ham lying on the ground. Opening its mouth, it delicately picks the meat up in its jaws and finishes it in one bite. (NT) -- Fate, 09:55:56 10/15/02 Tue
• Mike Drago sees this as an opportunity. "See, it's all right. I'm not here to slay you. I've got a whole flock of sheep at home ready for you to eat. We can fight more, or we can eat. Besides, 200 sheep is more filling than one man. But, if you want to fight..." (NT) -- Mike Drago, 11:33:51 10/19/02 Sat
• The dragon lifts its head and stares at Mike. Slowly it moves its paw and sets him on the ground. It reaches its head forward until its nose is an inch away and takes a giant sniff. Mike's clothes ruffle as if in a heavy breeze. Suddenly strange emotions rush into Mike’s mind; curiosity and an overwhelming hunger. One faint word comes along with it: Emperion. The dragon’s name is Emperion. (NT) -- Fate, 16:53:56 10/20/02 Sun
• Mike understands what is going on. The dragon is communicating with him. "Emperion eh? The name is Mike. Mike Drago. I'm not lying about the sheep. I won't hurt you, but would you mind giving me back my sword? Then lets go to my place and eat. I've even got a clearing where you can...eh...cook. What do you say?" (NT) -- Mike Drago, 14:35:43 10/24/02 Thu
• Emperion rolls its eyes. Mike gets the impression that it doesn't want sheep. He picks up the sword in one large paw and hands it to Mike. Then it lumbers out of the cave and down a tunnel, showing Mike to the surface. OOC: Congrats! You just got you're dragon partner. You can now role-play it. Please note that you will feel impressions and emotions from your dragon, but seldom any words. Now that it is no longer wild, he will want to eat only Fireweed - stuff you can get from the Clearing. (NT) -- Fate, 15:09:15 10/24/02 Thu
• OCC: Finally!!!!!! BIC: Mike turns to the dragon and says, "Mind if I ride you?" An impression of how to get on him properly comes to his mind. There was also an impression of the result of what would happen if he did it wrong. Mike got onto the back of the massive dragon, and the dragon spread its magnificent wings and flew into the air. The sight of the man and dragon with the backdrop of the volcano is truely awesome. Off to see Crello! (NT) -- Mike Drago and Emperion, 19:40:27 10/26/02 Sat

• Raven's eyes also open wider in surprise at the strange beauty of the dragon's gaze. Her breath catches slightly in her throat and she forces herself to calm down. Again she brings her arm up, aims carefully, and throws the small sphere in her hand straight at the luminous orb. It explodes on impact into a fine dust. (NT) -- Raven, 09:01:29 05/22/02 Wed
• The dragon rears up and back in astonished rage as the dust bursts in her face. The grains create maddening irritation as they catch in the scintillating eyes. Blind anger flooding its senses, the dragon flares its leathery wings, jaws gaping wide in a snarling roar. The air of the cavern heats as the beast prepares to let loose a blast of flame.

• Raven digs furiously into the bag and brings out another of the small balls. She steps back and swings her arm to get momentum. The sphere rises into the air in a perfect arch and lands on target straight into the dragons wide open mouth. Like before it explodes upon impact, clogging the throat with dampining dust. "I hope it does it's job right," she mumbles to herself, "or it's going to get really hot quite quickly." (NT) -- Raven, 08:48:30 07/02/02 Tue
  • The cavern is filled with an earsplitting roar, but no fire emits from the gaping mouth. The dragon begins to hack and sputter in an attempt to free it's throat of the imparing dust, but to no avail. It begins to thrash around, stamping in anger and frustration, it's midnight-blue scales glinting in the dim light of the cave. Bellowing and sputtering, the beast seems to forget about the girl in it's desperation. (NT) -- Fate, 19:24:16 07/06/02 Sat
• Raven sprints to the edge of the cave, a bit startled by the violent reaction. She takes a moment to collect her wits and then slowly approaches the dragon again, making calming noises. "Shh, it's okay." Nervously she inches closer, trying to avoid the thrashing limbs. "It will go away in a minute, just calm down." She reaches out and lays a hand on the dragon’s thick hide. (NT) -- Raven, 09:03:19 07/08/02 Mon
  • At first the dragon seems to not notice the girl approaching, still thrashing about in rage and frustration (and nearly hitting Raven in the process). Combination of voice and touch bring the dragon's attention back to the girl. She (it's a girl dragon) swings her head around and focuses one large, slitted eye on Raven. Unable to use flame, the dragon lunges her head at the girl, snapping her massive jaws, but the movement isn't the lightning fast reflex a dragon usually has. (NT) -- Fate, 15:59:01 08/09/02 Fri
• Raven moves out of the way again (on future contemplation she decided it probably wasn't all that smart to get so close to it while it was still thrashing around) and puts both hands on the side of the head, below the eye. "Hey, it's fine." She continues soothingly. "Why don't you come home with me and we can be partners?" She finishes lightly. Raven stares at it, ready to get out of its way if it refuses.

  • The dragon warily eyes the creature that had done this to her, shying away from the touch. She again tries roasting Raven, but nothing comes out. Anger rekindled, she rears back on hind legs violently, her scaly head just brushing the rocky ceiling. (NT) -- Fate, 19:39:22 08/22/02 Thu
• Raven jumps back hurriedly. "What's it going to take?" She grumbles to herself. "I don't want to hurt it!" Backing up even more, she watches the dragon's thrashing. Slowly she adds another dust-rock to her sling and draws it back, aiming for its nose. "I guess I’ll try one more time." She spins and releases. (NT) -- Raven, 12:47:15 09/02/02 Mon
  • The dragon lunged down, diving for Raven with jaws wide just as the rock is released from the sling. It hits right between the beast's eyes, shower dust over both of them. The dragon shrieks with frustration, twistes in mid-lunge, and falls to the earth several yards short of Raven. Blinking furiously, the dragon attempts to focus on the girl, but makes to move toward her. (NT) -- Fate, 14:58:40 09/04/02 Wed
• Raven coughs violently, trying to dislodge the dust from her own throat. Bending down, she waits until her breath returns before trying anything else. Noticing the dragon on the ground, she cautiously walks up to it, stopping in front of its nose and peers intently at it. “Are you done now?” (NT) -- Raven, 17:25:34 09/05/02 Thu
  • The dragon lets out a big snort as Raven draws near, her eyes watching the girl warily. She shies back against the wall, keeping a watchful eye on Raven's hands, making sure she doesn't whip out another one of those dust things. (NT) -- Fate, 11:07:07 11/08/02 Fri

• Raven raises an eyebrow. "What's this? You don't have to be afraid, if that's your problem. I wont throw anymore dust-balls." She steps closer and sits down on the floor. "Look, see? I'll just sit here until you decide to go." (NT) -- Raven, 17:13:34 11/09/02 Sat
  • A few minutes pass as the girl and dragon just look at each other. The dragon suddenly arches her back and neck and flares her wings to make herself appear larger, watching Raven to see what the apparently fearless girl would do. The dragon, though still a little wary, seems more curious now than anything. (NT) -- Fate, 14:22:41 11/12/02 Tue
• Raven blinks but doesn’t move. Suddenly she smiles. "You certainly are a fine specimen of a dragon. What's your name?" She asks conversationally. (NT) -- Fate, 18:01:04 11/12/02 Tue
  • Nothing happens for several moments, then the dragon slowly lowers her head toward Raven, until her nose is but a few inches from the girls face. Firey opal eyes meet blue eyes for several more moments, the opals holding a look of curiousness and faint question. For what seems like an eternity, but in reality is but a few seconds, the two lock eyes. Finally, echoing in the deep recesses of Raven's mind - a voice: <i>Nalanei</i>. (NT) -- Fate, 14:31:34 12/16/02 Mon
• Raven grins enormously. "Nalanei? That's great!" She hops up and down excitedly. "What say we head back to Carnerik now, eh?" Nalanei blinks and shifts her scaly shoulders. After a moment of contemplation, she stands up and heads toward the exit, cocking her tail at Raven as she passes as if beckoning the girl to follow. Raven does, quickly, and the pair makes its way out of the volcanoes. (NT) -- Raven, 12:43:50 12/28/02 Sat

• Peering into the surronding darkness, she considers lighting a torch. She was used to running around in dimley lit caves, but this was a different sort of light. 'It seems gloomier.' She mentions to herself. Shaking her head to clear her mind, she pulls out a stone out of her pocket. This rock was different then the ones that Raven normally used for her sling. She checks it, the others in her pocket. 'This plan had better work.' (NT) -- Raven, 20:52:05 12/29/01 Sat
  • From up a head, Raven hears a growl that sounds suspciously like a dragon. (NT) -- Fate, 10:09:21 03/01/02 Fri
    • Holding her breath she carefully creeps forward. (NT) -- Raven Hartfold, 10:13:30 03/01/02 Fri
      • Suddenly she feels an opening in the wall to her right. (NT) -- Fate, 13:12:00 03/02/02 Sat
        • She can sense the enormous size of the cavern beyond the opening, but it is pitch black inside. She can sense something moving inside. (NT) -- Fate, 17:16:38 04/01/02 Mon
          • She halts outside the opening and carefully feels the rock around her. Her hands make no noice as they slide over the entrence. Letting her eyes ajust as much as possible to the dark gloom, she croaches down right inside the cave and waits, pouch in one hand and the other in the pouch. (NT) -- Raven, 10:18:16 04/04/02 Thu
            • The large cavern is very suddenly illuminated by a small blast of fire. In the light, Raven can make out the form of a dragon. The dragon is of medium size, and apparently doing nothing but lying there. It hasn't yet noticed the girl who is at the entrance near its left hind leg. The flame dies down almost as quickly as it flared up, and the cavern is once again bathed in darkness. (NT) -- Fate, 17:50:26 04/18/02 Thu
• The girl blinks furiously in the sudden light and equally sudden darkness. After a moment, she continues to inch around the edge. When she is in the spot she was heading for, about halfway to where she guessed the dragon's head was. Muffling any sound as much as she possibly can, she again reaches into her pocket for the strange stone. Gingerly holding it in her fingertips, she moves forward and pulls an arm back, ready to throw. (NT) -- Raven, 12:17:29 04/20/02 Sat
  • OOC raven maybe you should post another (NT) -- a person, 18:59:52 05/10/02 Fri
    • OOC: I can't without using power-play, because I would have to make the dragon react. (NT) -- Ranven, 08:26:42 05/11/02 Sat
      • OOC how about you threw it, because you are ready to throw. just a suggestion (NT) -- a person, 12:56:34 05/12/02 Sun
• OOC: Actually I can't throw it untill it does a certain thing, but I can't make it do that (Power-play) so I just have to stand here. =( (NT) -- Raven, 08:44:39 05/13/02 Mon
