( Being Forceful, straight forward, or attempting to trick him is all up to you. Also thanks to who ever archived last night's thread)

I think we decided to be honest with em last night.

Just be straight with it. Honesty is the best policy. Except when it isn't.

Yeah, we should be polite and straightforward. Straight shooters. We don't fuck around.

"I am Charles Bronson, and I am honored to speak with you." Bow or some shit. "I come in peace, and humbly a request."

Damn right. Ask if it could part with some scales 'n stuff.

>>6345659
Or "and with a humble request" or some shit.

>>6345623
>>6345655
>>6345659
You take a deep breath and pull back your hood as you look at the great dragon. You honestly think he fills up the entire cave from bottom to top, the heat that seems to swell from him is so massive it is hard to not be nervous.

"I'm here because I need a scale or two of yours.."

The dragon laughs and seems to stand from its laying position and start to walk in your direction. You slowly back up and this keeps up for a few minutes as if he is backing you out of the cave. Once outside you can see his full form.

"You wish to craft a weapon no doubt? The dwarfs that have been sent to me were delicious. None actually made it through my aura, but something seems to protect you from it."

He stares at you. "Show me your arm."

Its a command, and you don't even have a moment to think, your own arm moves and pulls back the coat showing your gauntlet. The dragon stares for a moment then grins as he steps fully out into the light outside.

He looks amazing, golden scales that clatter and clank together as if they were made from steel cover him. Finally he looks back down at you. You notice something odd however, he is missing his left wing.

"We'll see. You intend to kill the Black Mother drake who's brought her brood to these mountains yes?"

>>6345763

I intend to make the greatest axe for a king is all.

>>6345763
"No. I am not a violent man. I do what must be done." Explain to him what we've done, in saving our town, our arm, and the destruction of the sword. It belonged to the king, and we are bound to replace a weapon for him.

>>6345763
I intend to bring honour to a town that finally deserves it, nothing more.

Indeed. Explaining our current situation will probably help.

HUZZAH DEATHWISH CONTINUES!

>>6345788
>>6345801
You start to explain yourself, telling him that you personally don't want to kill anyone, but you intend on making the weapon, about halfway through your explanation you see a massive claw like hand reach up and grab you.

You're lifted to stare into one of his eyes and can't seem to look away. A flood of thoughts and memories explode in your mind and in a moment you feel like your head is throbbing in pain. Rudely he tosses you back to the ground.

"I see. I see. Unremarkable man doing the remarkable. Luck and strong will have seen you through."

"I'll make this simple Blacksmith. You want two scales? I'll give them to you right now. On two conditions. That. Or we can Fight for them, and you can die. Or.. you can leave. Make your choice."

".....and the conditions are?"

>>6345845
Tell me the conditions, I'll do what I must.

"Tell me of these conditions, and I will do what must be done."

>>6345867
>>6345856
TellmeandI'lldoit-Mind?

Yes, ask what we must do.

>>6345854
>>6345856
>>6345867
>>6345878

"Tell me what the conditions are and I will do it..."

The dragon laughs a little and flames seem to leap from his mouth, causing the ice and snow around to begin to melt.

"First, you must bring me the eye of that Black Bitch who ate my wing. You're lucky that she spurred my advances and got more then a little rough."

This would mean you might have to convince the king to give you the eye once she is slain... or you might have to come along and help him.

"The other condition is much more complex... Before your life ends, you must solve my missing wing problem. She's consumed the wing and melted what was left with her wretched spit, no healing magic will make it work. But your arm, I understand was an accident... but you seem to be a smart human. You will -make- me a new wing. It can take years. It can take your whole life, your span is but a drop in the water compared to mine."

"If you fail either of these tasks however... I will find your little town, and I will torture everyone to death, even if I have to crawl on my stomach all the way there. Deal?"

>>6345960
"I am Charles Bronson, and I will do what I must."

>>6345960
Aye, that I can do.

>>6345960
Sure.
We can totally do that.

Once we win, we need to start stockpiling aluminium.

( As an aside, you only need one scale from each, but I was under the impression everyone wanted enough to be able to craft something extra. Both of the dragon's 2nd scale will be "lolhardmode" shit. You can just say Eff you and only do one of what their request/demand/test/ etc.)

Wait

If we are to rebuild the wing, wouldnt we need fucking scales to do it? Why don't we just steal some on out path to doing so.

A dragon's eye? A new wing? Anything is possible when one has...

A deathwish.

ok so we kill his ex and take her eye

then we make produceing a replacement wing and getting it enchanted a life goal

perfect

lets get our smithy hammer and get started with #1

>>6346017
WE WILL HAVE BOTH SCALES AND IT WILL BE GLORIOUS.
Besides crafting a wing is well within our abilities.

Charles Bronson has a deathwish, not a fuck-everyone-over wish.
If we have to, we'll just kill this dragon later, but for now let's see what it's willing to accept as a wing. A simple leather and steel graft, or something more sophisticated?

>>6346017
Is there any rarity difference between gold dragons and silver dragons in this setting?

>>6346017

We shall do both or die trying

after all we have the deathwish thing going on.

>>6346017
So wait? If we only get 1 scale, we only need to do one quest for this dragon?

Irrelevant. We take as much as we can.

Yes. We shall claim both scales.

>>6345982
>>6346002
>>6346007
You stand up and the dragon laughs a little as you open your mouth to speak.

"Yes YES human. I know who you are. You don't have to say it every time you take a request from someone."

He seems to know what you are going to say before you say it, but you make sure he knows you agree anyhow. Making the wing that can still fly, and yet be strong enough to hold up his massive form covered in steel is something you cannot even wrap your mind around yet.

He reaches down and tears a scale from his body with a loud angry growl, doing it once more after. Both of the scales feel like they weigh far more then they should, whispering that they are similar to "gold" only in color. They are both about the size of a full plate chest cover.

You place them in your backpack. They will likely slow you down quite a bit, and if the Silver scales weigh as much... the long trek back will be rough.

He waves a hand and your legs begin to walk away from him before without you commanding them to. No wonder scales are so rare, approaching a creature of this power is crazy. Its hard to think you will do it again.

We never really did find out if dragons Shed. if so we should ask and find out if we can make a weaker form of dragon steel out of old scales.

>>6346104
Stash these at the mountain-home. Penalty for stealing was death, right?

And then go and get the silver ones.

I don't think it's worth risking these scales by dropping them off somewhere. We need to keep our eyes on them.

We've done harder things than carry something that's a little bit heavy. We can do this.

>>6346104

Before we leave we should ask him how much he weighs

>>6346153
That doesn't mean someone won't try it. Dragon scales would be worth the risk, take no chances.

>>6346050
No, dragons are rare outside of the Mountains of the world, This area is one of the few where multiple kinds still linger together. Black Dragons are the most common, world wide, but still rare to come across.

They tend to kill each other and be killed by mortals when not living on their own.

>>6346104
Return to drop off the scales, update the king on the whole eye-wing dealie and get ready for the silver dragon.

>>6346169
Well, considering his arguement against a sled last time was that it'd be smashed to bits...

Quick-travel Scales!

>>6346104
We have rope right? Grab some wood and fashion a sled for our backpack. It will make it FAR easier to carry them. We gotta make sure our knots are TIGHT around our backpack though.

>>6346199
These mountains are not sled friendly.

>>6346209
Lame.
ENDURE. WE HAVE A DEATHWISH.

>>6346174
When you think of his weight, it's hard to understand, you don't really get a number, but you -feel- once you make the wing, you will know when it will be strong enough to help him fly again. It seems he's engraved some general gut feelings into your mind to help you construct the wing.

We've just got to make sure our pack is secure to our body, and we tough it out.

We're not a pussy.

>>6346241
Ok, cool. ONWARDS TO THE NEXT DRAGON.

>>6346241
Do we know if scales grow back? Will these ones that he's removed return to him?

If so, we should meet with him regularly to collect his golden scales, and use them to fashion him a new wing.

>>6346209
>>6346199
>>6346196
You picture yourself sledding around these twisting paths with the gold scales and a sled and laugh a little.

These paths are barely big enough for just yourself at times, they are twisting and uneven. Any type of travel aside from rope, feet, and perhaps a flying creature is asking to die a messy, falling death.

>>6346275
You assume that if scales grow back, it would take more then your life time for them to do so. You also doubt from what you saw that they shed them, as painful as it looked when he tore the scales off.

Alright, silver dragon time.

>>6346279
Wait. I never implied WE sled. Like a stretcher! Its the same thing you would do to carry a humans weight, drag it along behind you and only lift it when we need to.

>>6346275
It was painful enough for him to extract his scales the first time. Asking him to do it on a regular basis is suicide for us. Besides we only get two scales the dragon said so.

>>6346279
IN THIS LAND WE'VE DEFENDED, FROM ALL THINGS DARK AND CRUEL
NOW WE ARE DEFENSELESS, IN A LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND WHERE DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGONS RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLE

>>6346313
And then the rope tears and the scales fall into a deep ravine, lost forever.

>>6346323
I don't know where that's from, but it made me laugh.

>>6346307
>>6346279

Well then, lets try to only get one scale from the silver.
Three is enough for a large weapon, plus leftovers.

And we're less likely to get even.

Now get us to the silver.

>>6346347
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2EoDKvphnM

COME ON GUYS, SILVER DRAGON TIME.

>>6346348
We need two from each. No less.

>>6346309
>>6346262
>>6346252
>>6346183
You move on to the next dragon, your pack is tied tightly to your shoulders as you think of what it would be like to lose these precious scales.

From all that you have heard of their worth, this scales are the kind of things that forge weapons that change nations and forge legends.

Night is close to falling and the load you bear is tiresome, after your bad night of sleep and all of the climbing and walking, it seems like sleep would be a good option. You are however only an hour or two's walk from the Silver Dragon's cave. Should you press on or set up camp to speak to him well rested?

>>6346348
Getting only 1 silver scale would make our 2nd gold scale useless.

It's an equal mixture that produces the strong metal, as far as I understand.

>>6346367
If we sleep, you'll roll for an encounter.

But we are tired. I say we rest, in another secure spot, with these scales SECURELY fastened to us.

>>6346367
Set up camp in a secure location, we will talk with him/her in the morning, unless it decides to talk to us preemptively.

BTW, how much time has passed so far? Days? A week? Weeks?

Also sleep with our Shit Wrecker in our hand.

>>6346367
Rest. We don't want the Aura to rape our faces off due to sleep deprivation.

>>6346405
seconded.

>>6346367

lets rest a bit before we talk to the dragon. If we are tired as hell he might not take us seriously.

Rest up. The dragon isn't going anywhere. Besides, no point in having a deathwish if we pass out from exhaustion.

>>6346367
Rest.

Also, try to roll a 40 or so on the random encounter.

>>6346419
Dragons take everything seriously, one might say they are serious business.

>>6346438
I ARE SRS DRAGON
THIS ARE SRS THRED

rolled 91 = 91

>>6346392
It has been almost 2 and a half days so far. Sleeping will make it 3.
>>6346389
>>6346384
>>6346369
It is the combination of the two steel's that make it so mythic-ly strong. One scale without the other would still make something very awesome and note-worthy, but if you want to make him something out of true "Dragon Steel" and something for yourself of the same quality you will need two from each dragon.

You set up camp and make sure to almost the point of paranoia that your backpack is tied on tightly. You also sleep with your back propped up against the rocks to make sure no sneaky fingers find their way into your pack, not that you think anyone is crazy enough aside from you to be out on these death-trap pathways that only lead to unfriendly dragons.

>>6346483
Unfriendly baby dragons are pretty stupid.

>>6346483
>91

I don't know whether to be horrified or extremely relieved.

>>6346483
That 91 is bad, isn't it?

>>6346483
You sleep great, and when you wake up, the sun is out and bright in the sky. It's warmth on your face makes you feel great. You eat and then take down your camp, setting yourself back up for the walk to the cavern. Your pack is heavy, but there is a spring in your step despite it all.

You hope this dragon is less serious and less invasive into your mind. After an hour and a half you're there, and looking at the mouth of a cave that looks... much much less inviting then the last one.

Skeletons litter the entrance, some are what appears to be smaller dragons with charred black bones that make you think of what your arm looked like when the lich was finished with it.

The rest are Dwarf skeletons fried inside of their armor.

>>6346567

yay silver lich dragon

>>6346567
ha ha ha
FUCK

Well we're not going to run away.

>>6346567
How barbaric. Oh well, lets go inside.

Take a secure nap...

So, agreement with everbody else.

>>6346567
Scream something about a deathwish.

>>6346567
Fuck yeah, hold up your hammer, pray to that wimpy elf-god of yours, and stow your hammer.

Go in.

I FORGOT TO REFRESH THE PAGE

HOW EMBARASSING

No point in getting cold feet. Let's go in.

>>6346600
I AM EMBARRASSED FOR YOU

>>6346567
Rearrange all the skeletons in order of size and burntness, then walk in. We are Charles Bronson, and dragon or not, we don't tolerate this lack of cleanliness.

>>6346600
>>6346619
I AM CAPS LOCK.

Pick up a shield from a dead dwarf...

>>6346629
Sounds good, it might just make the dragon come out and say wat?

>>6346658
Nah. If we come in geared up well just get killed.

And man, we'll get killed anyway if this thing wants to. We have to look completely nonthreatening.

>>6346583
>>6346580
>>6346579
>>6346578
"haha.... fuck.."
You whisper to yourself as you remark on what must of been the last moments of the other dwarfs. You take a deep breath and move into the cave. The light is shining inside the cave and makes it easy to see without lighting your lantern.

As soon as you are a step or two inside a massive shining shape steps out into the open, he's a little smaller then the last dragon, but he's no less frightening. His mouth crackles with lightning that seems to leap from tooth to tooth and make his whole mouth glow blue.

He sets his eyes on you for a moment, and he seems to "grin" at you for lack of a better word. His mouth stops glowing and calmly he lays down with a smug look on his face as if he is very entertained by your presence.

Your move.

>>6346678
"Good morning."

>>6346700
You say "Good morning." He stares at you as if you were mentally handicapped and says nothing.

>>6346700
I suppose you know why I am here?

Greet the dragon, introduce ourselves, then explain why we are here.

Listen you fucking piece of shit dragon, you better give me two fucking scales right now.

"I suppose you know why I am here?"

This invokes a yawn. He still says nothing.

>>6346678
>mouth crackles with lightning
I wonder if sally remembers what that lightning rune looks like?

>>6346726
this

>>6346727
Requoting what I previously said for reconsideration as a course of action

I am here to collect the payment of two scales you owe me, in exchange for telling you the wereabouts of one of your rivals, who happens to be crippled in a certain way. The location is one scale, the nature of their handicap is another.

>>6346731
Invite him for a game of dice or whatever things you have on you... he seems like a gamer

>>6346752
They might not be rivals.

>>6346726
>>6346727
You keep talking to him. When you call him shit, he chuckles a little, but he seems very bored with you, almost as if he's waiting for you to get tired of being here and just leave.

You strongly get the sense he's doing it to test or annoy you, thanks to his "oh so smug" grin.

>>6346752
No Charles Bronson is better than that.

>>6346766
That's fucking it.

Punch him.

In the teeth.

>>6346731
So...
Want me to go on some sort of quest or kill something so I can get a couple of your scales?

If we can garner no response we sit down facing him and wait.

>>6346731
I'm not going to beat around the bush with you, you're obviously enjoying lounging around this cave, but I've got a job to do. So let me lay it out for ya: I want two of your scales, YOU want me to get the hell out and leave you alone. So what's it gonna be, what do I hafta do to get you to part with two of them there scales?

>>6346731
"Okay, what did they do" [gesture at bodies outside] "That I really shouldn't?"

Inquire what manner of payment he'd find acceptable for 2 of his scales. Lets get this shit done.

If it's a staring contest he wants, it's a staring contest he gets.

>>6346766
Tell him we are here to provide a service in exchange for two scales, also I wonder if s/he can smell the gold dragon

Oh shit, I just realized what happened to all those other poor bastards. We cannot turn our backs to this guy. Not even for a second.

>>6346783
Challenge him to a duel! Rip off our skelly arm and throw it down! That'll surprise him. Even more when the arm gives him the finger.

We sit down, offer the dragon some booze, and we stay here til he gets good and ready to give us the scales.

>>6346785
this

>>6346784
>>6346783
>>6346786
>>6346789
>>6346793
If he was a human you'd bust him in the mouth, the look he's giving you and the way he acts like you are simply a bug flying around makes your stomach burn with anger.

All of these statements and questions only seem to make him lose even more interest. His eyes half closed as if he's asleep, but he continues to watch you. When you ask

"What did they do to annoy you?" Pointing at the dwarfs. He chuckles, but at least speaks.

"They tried to take a scale without permission. Just because I was asleep does not mean I can't feel an attempt to tear my own flesh off." He says no more after that however.

You sit down in front of him as if prepared to wait, he seems to find this amusing.

>>6346852
(In a slap-to-the-face-with-a-glove manner.)

>>6346862
Ask him if we may have a scale, please.

"If I offer you a puzzle you do not solve, may I take two scales?"

>>6346854
You pull out the bottle of booze, and offer him some. His eyes open a little wider as if he is shocked. He sits up a little, he was not expecting this.

"You take a drink first. A big one. I'll have the rest, but don't expect whatever is in it to poison me or dull my senses, it would take a lake full of the stuff to do so."

>>6346862
Ask him politely, and, if he refuses, politely ask what he would want as payment.

Perhaps tell the dragon a story give him entertainment

>>6346862
Ask him if we may have two scales.

>>6346862
"Yes, I am well aware that you can out-wait me. However, I'm hoping you have better things to do than staring contest all day."

This guys seems like a pretty cool dude.

Let's just be buds with him.

Shrug, and start drinking.

>>6346900
Pffft, chug that bottle for a bit to show him were not like that and offer him the rest.

>>6346905
>>6346904
>>6346901
>>6346875
>>6346852
As you take out the bottle you try all of these, they only seem to make him laugh.

"I'm glad to see racism stretches beyond dragons. Just because I'm an ancient "beast" does not mean little mortal puzzles and games and rules interest or apply to me."

>>6346900
"Perish the thought, scaly one. I'm just getting bored of staring at each other, and what better way to pass the time then getting drunk. So, when did you and the gold dragon decide to set up shop here?"

If he likes the booze, then we may have an in here folks. We set up a trade, so many barrels of booze in exchange for scales. Hell, make it a long term deal.

>>6346941
Did you read the thread?

>>6346862
Well if hes bored tell him a story. Tell him a story of a dick of a lich who murdered a village in their sleep, and then stole the town's children for some horrible spell. Tell him how one man, nothing but a blacksmith, tired of the shit he was given decided "fuck it, I have a deathwish" and proceeded to wreck his stupid ass tower and bash the unliving fuck outta him. Then show him your ghost limb.

>>6346929
Just ask him how he's doing.

>>6346862
WE ARE CHARLES FUCKING DEATHWISH BRONSON. WE WILL FUCK AND SATISFY THE DRAGON

>>6346969
>WE WILL FUCK AND SATISFY THE DRAGON
>DRAGON IS MALE
niggayoujustwentfullretard.jpg

>>6346929
>>6346862
WE ARE CHARLES FUCKING DEATHWISH BRONSON. WE WILL FUCK AND SATISFY THE DRAGON

>>6346967
Make conversation, it seems receptive to such. Have a nice lng conversation with the dragon. (dragon permitting)

>>6346983
HIS HOT GIANT ASSHOLE. WE CHARLES FUCKING DEATHWISH BRONSON ARE THE ONLY MEN WHO CAN FILL IT

>>6346929
Detach your arm. Have it continue serving drinks and then say. "I am not leaving this mountain till I have two scales of yours. If that takes 50 years? So be it. And even if that is only a drop of your lifetime it will be one damn annoying drop."

"Perish the thought, scaly one. I'm just getting bored of staring at each other, and what better way to pass the time then getting drunk. So, when did you and the gold dragon decide to set up shop here?"

After you have drunk quite a bit he reaches forward with a clawed hand and takes the bottle between two fingers and then tosses it into his maw. He chews the glass that seems to do nothing to the inside of his wicked maw.

"That is none of your concern human." He turns slowly and his tail -wooshes- over your head. Loud sounds echo from whatever he is messing with that was once behind him. He turns around and his claws, both filled with gold and jewels dumps them in front of you before once more laying down.

"Just take it and leave. All the others who've been brave enough to speak to me instead of try to play thief have taken this and mucked off. The king won't pay you half as much for my scales. Go start a kingdom of your own."

You get a strong feeling this is a test. Or something, his grin is no longer just smug, it is ...something wicked.

>>6347029
Simple answer, thanks but no thanks. You didn't come all this way seeking riches - this is about dragon scales and with his permission you'd like two. If you have to offer something in exchange, you're game for it, but even a mountain of wealth you can't carry down the mountain by yourself isn't worth your original goal

>>6347029
Tell him if you wanted money there is a thousand better ways to make it. Tell him you came here so you could create something of legend.

>>6347029
I'm not here for gold. I don't plan on selling scales. I want to make something. I want to make something worthy of my legend. I am Charles Bronson and I am a blacksmith.

Silly dragon. We want two scales, not treasure.

>>6347029
we came for the scales, we aren't motivated by greed/ wealth. We came here to finish a promise and get on with our lives & maybe get the girl. Tell him this.

>>6347029
I came for two of your scales because I need two of your scales I have no need for riches. I will leave with two of your scales or I will not leave.

>>6347029
Charles Bronson has two things, a mission and a Deathwish, worldly riches won't distract him.

>>6346969
>>6347008
Fuck. You. We may have a deathwish, but we don't want this quest to end in ignomy.

>>6347065
Blacksmith with a deathwish.

>>6347029
"I am a blacksmith, jewelery doesn't interest me as such. Learning, creating and crafting is what interests me. I have made a deal with the gold dragon to rebuild its wing, which seems like a pleasant challenge to me."

>>6346990
"No thank you."

>>6347029
"Kingdom? Please. I may be a leader, but my heart lies in the forge. I've waited my entire life to make a weapon of this caliber, and I'll wait a thousand lifetimes more if I can obtain the materials to make it. Gold and jewels are not my fancy. I need those scales, for my honor, for my commitment to the dwarf king, and to fulfill my dream- No, every blacksmith's dream. I am Charles Bronson, and I have a deathwish."

>>6347119
THIS OH MY GOD FUCKING THIS

>>6347062
>>6347065
>>6347074
>>6347077
>>6347080
>>6347082
You put on a serious face and stare at him over the pile of gold. His face seems to change to mock yours, or he's unhappy with the fact you seem unswayed by it. You inform him that you're not here for treasure, that you've sought him out to create something amazing.

He takes a deep breath and with a large hand scrapes the riches across the ground and tosses them back behind himself. He suddenly looks very serious.

"Fine. You spoke of "Games" We will play one game for each scale. Pour out the contents of your pack and sit back down if you agree. I warn you however. What entertains -me- will not be a game of chess."

>>6347145
Do as he has instructed.

>>6347145
Ahh incoming rape! Uh. lets do it I guess?

We have no choice but to do it.

>>6347145
Even though he might violate you, do it.
Actually, *especially* if he wants to violate you.

>>6347145
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww-o--ZaW5M&feature=related

>>6347145
Tip out your bag and prepare yourself.

Do as he says. We've come too far to leave without those scales.

>>6347145
This can't end well, alas Charles Bronson is halfway down the rabbit hole already. Heaven or Hell, Let's Rock!

>>6347173
>>6347174
>>6347157
You pour out your pack onto the ground, he looks at the two golden scales and nods as if impressed. He Brushes everything aside but the five potions you carry.

Slowly he begins to poke them with a mighty claw, causing each one to pop and shatter as he crushes them until there is only one left. He points at it.

"Every Adventurer carries these, but they are only fun when there is only one."

Before you can protest, move or even think that same claw that popped the potions spears all the way through your right leg, making you let out a scream in pain. That makes him grin in earnest. He pulls it out and blood begins to pour from the would. It is a lot of blood, you could pass out before long, but the potion could heal it, but it would take the whole potion poured on the wound.

You start to reach for it as a reflex, but before you can you feel his claw rake across your face. It's expertly placed as if he has played this game before. The cut on your face is superficial, but deep enough to leave a bad scar. It cuts across your nose, your eyebrow and deeply through your lip, you won't be nearly as lucky with the ladies if you don't fix it with the potion.

"This is more fun with a pretty lady. I suspect you won't have much trouble with this as they. Life or Beauty, let us pick one."

Cure our leg, obviously.

>>6347276
Have your skeleton arm slap the bastard. Heal your leg. "I'm a blacksmith. What need do I have for beauty?"

And besides, I'm pretty sure dwarf warrior princesses dig scars.

>>6347178
We're the wrong gender for this to be hot.

>>6347276
Life. We need to heal that wound. Besides chicks dig scars.

>>6347276
Sheeze we could have drunk the dragon under the table

>>6347276
So, he gave us a fucking awesome scar and expects us to waste a potion on it? Fuck that, heal our damn leg.

>>6347276
Go Go gadget deathwish arm. Grab that potion!

>>6347276
Not much of a game with one player, we should be allowed to wound him equally badly, let's see who lasts longest.

Use the potion on our leg. Living is more important than the ladies.

>>6347276
Wha- Ladies dig guys with scars! And besides, you're a fucking blacksmith...

WITH A SKELETON ARM! JESUS BRO YOU'RE ALREADY GOING TO NEED A SUPER SPECIAL LADY TO DEAL WITH THAT

I mean, who's going to go, "Oh I love your bony semi-sentient arm but that scar on your face? Disgusting."?

>>6347362
Hahaha. Man, that was awesome.

>>6347312
>>6347295
>>6347321
Anger wells up and you swing with your arm to hit him, but its little more then a gesture as you can't even reach him. It does make him laugh.

Cursing you reach out for the battle. He chuckles and pushes it just out of reach. Making you have to leave a bloody trail as you follow it along the ground, crawling as your leg bleeds out. He lets you have it the 2nd time you reach it, you pour the potion on your leg and watch as the bone, flesh and gore re-knits. The pain lingers and your face continues to bleed.

"Oh that was fun. The next one can be more or less painful depending on how much of a kind soul you are? Ready to play?"

>>6347362
DUDE. We can add this to the list for the weapon, dragonscarred. We are becoming more of a legend every minute.

WOUNDS HEAL, OUR STORIES HOWEVER WILL BE ETERNAL

>>6347379
... Why didn't we just detach our skeleton arm to grab the potion? Unless it is hard to use with this dragon around.

"Well I'm not going back without what I came for."

I say we ask for our scale first. One game per scale, remember?

>>6347379
Game on.

Ask for first scale and then keep on going

>>6347409
>>6347412
These also, make a mental note to exact revenge in the far future.

>>6347412
>>6347428
Yeah, this.

>>6347432
What do we need to take revenge for? In the end, we shall be glorious and awesome, and this lighting breathing prick will rot in his cave all by his lonesome.

>>6347432
>>6347455
Why take vengeance? We came here knowing the risk and agreed to the game.

No need for revenge, we just have to endure long enough for two scales.

>>6347469
And of course, allies among dragons are better than enemies.

And if he thinks we're man enough, we're totally gonna be bros with this dude.

>>6347379
Are you?

>>6347455
>>6347469
You're probably right. Let's get that scale and make history.

>>6347428
>>6347432
>>6347412
>>6347409
"Give me the scale first and then let's play." You scowl at him as you dream of finding a way to end this bastard. He smirks down at you and reaches to his shoulder, grunting as he tears off a large shining scale and sits it on top of the other two.

"I like your style human. You might think me cruel, but do you call lighting Cruel? Do you think a storm is evil simply because it exists? This is my nature -you- are the one standing on the mountain top, waving at the gods for attention. Should you hate the lightning when it comes to play with you?"

He reaches forward roughly shoving you down with one hand. Fighting seems pointless at this juncture these creatures are like gods to you. His claw hooks on the leather strap holding your trusty hammer, and he pulls it up to his face to look at it.

"You care about this weapon. I can't read minds like my golden cousin but I can -feel- it."

>>6347506
OH NO HE DIDN'T

"That is my hammer and my father's before me. You will do nothing to it."

>>6347506
He wants shit breaker.We could make a better hammer, But it wouldn't be Pa's hammer.

>>6347506
Whatever happens next, we will endure.

>>6347506
Ohhh, this could get interesting... Without shit ruiner to forge the artifact, we might as well be fucked

>>6347506
He sits the hammer on the ground and a massive claw hovers over it in the shape of a fist. If he were to bring his hand down hard in all likely hood even the Shit-Smasher would be crushed to bits.

"This game is a choice. Your hammer gets pounded to dust. -or- Someone who does not deserve to die will die, and it will be -your fault-."

You've heard silver dragons been called "Fate Dragons" but its always been debated if they actually have such powers as to -will- something into happening even if the dragon does not understand it.

>>6347557
We can't have blood on our hands.

"You go ahead and strike my hammer. The blood of another is not mine to give."

He might break the hammer, which sucks. But then again, it does have the protection rune carved into it. Who knows what may happen?

On the one hand, people who don't deserve to die do so all the time, no matter who's fault it is. Doesn't really seem like our thing though.
And if this hammer is old, it's been reforged before. It can be reforged again. And it will be so if that dragon cracks his fist trying to break it.

>>6347506
You may break me, but not my hammer. Go on, strike me with it! I may be a mortal man, but my pride as a blacksmith is supernatural. Forge a weapon of pain and agony from my flesh, I will not budge one inch.

>>6347557
Charles Bronson does not value possessions over innocent lives. It will be tough and sad but we must give up shit-ruiner. We will assemble whatever remains back into shit-destroyer with some dragon steel thrown in.

>>6347565
This prompts him to shoot lightning from his mouth to let it dance around the cave, the sound of thunder fills the little cavern as if he was roaring.

"I grow TIRED of idle threats human choose, leave, or make good on them."

>>6347557
Slap him with your skeletal arm. "Stop that shit. How about you die, I get to keep my hammer and everyone else lives happily ever after? Hmm?"

Is a hammer really worth the life of another? Aye, WE may have a deathwish, but what right do we have to extend that to others for the sake of an heirloom gifted to us by a drunken father? The dwarves have other hammers to use. Aye, they may not be Pa's hammer, and we may be throwing away our starting legacy, but how much more awesome will that make us? Besides, he never said who would die. It could be anyone, even those who we have yet to meet. potential friends, someone who will probably become very close.
Heavy choice, OP. I both love you and hate you for it.

Either do this >>6347585.
-OR-
Just let him smash it.

>>6347557
There's also the option of forfeiting this game - you have one silver scale and that's enough for one portion of Dragonsteel.

>>6347588
>>6347582
Yes, this. If our hammer does get destroyed, we'll use what's left to refract it.

"i know what you are going to do, and i can take it. Shit smasher has been with me for a long time and we have done great things. But it is not truly mine and i can part with it. It was forged by my father. And perhaps it would be better to forge a grand successor by my own hands than continue on with someone elses hammer."

>>6347615
This as well.

>>6347612
How the fuck did I type refract instead of reforge?

I say we let shitbasher get broken, and use the pieces and the extra dragon scales to make our new hammer, shitwrecker

>>6347630
I think it sounds more awesome that way. The English language will change to suit.

Let him smash the hammer but take the scraps.

I hope the rune prevents the hammer from getting wrecked, and it confuses the dragon.,

>>6347647
He never said we could not take what remains of the hammer.

I hope he fucking swings that hammer, and the fucking head flies off and brains the bastard.

"I know what you are going to do, and I can take it. Shit smasher has been with me for a long time and we have done great things. But it is not truly mine and i can part with it. It was forged by my father. And perhaps it would be better to forge a grand successor by my own hands than continue on with someone else's hammer."

He smirks and starts to bring his hand down on the hammer then pauses raising an eyebrow.

"Wait.-What did you call it?"

You explain to him how your father named it and how you've always kept up the tongue in cheek method of its silly name. He seems to laugh at this quite a bit.

"That amuses me. I'll go light on you then." He brings his claw down and smashes the hammer to bits, grinding, but not as much as he would, leaving it chunks of steel and black dust.

"I'll allow you to take what's left."

>>6347582
here, agreeing with
>>6347615

As an additional thought, going down the mountains with 4 scales and no hammer might be more difficult than first expected. Not to say we can't, but maybe we should have our own game with him after to get flown (I guess not on its back, we need to get back, not make an even larger entrance). Other ways back are of course worth considering as well. We can't just sled down on the scales, can we?

>>6347668
"Thank you. And the second scale?"

>>6347668
Does this make us a Mary-Sue?

>>6347668


Thank him, and tell him that one of these days, you'll be back to show him headsmasher- the sequel.

When the hammer is reforged, rune of crafting.

>>6347691

after we get the scale of course

Take what's left of Shit-Wrecker and ask for our second scale. Thank him for the scales afterward.

>>6347697
Hell yeah.

The first thing we'll make when we get back to the forges is a new hammer, made with the bits of the Shit Ruiner and some DRAGON FUCKING STEEL!

>>6347691
We will name it when we make it not sooner.

"Tell me, dragon... You who thinks himself a god because you rule the skies and the mountains... You who can spit thunder and command fate itself... What a pitiable life you lead, the world will pass you by and you will continue to hide in this cave, striking out at all passers by... What possessions you own, what possessions of mine you break, what pain you inflict upon me and any others, they are meaningless and momentary. Like the gold one before you said: "A human life is but a drop in the ocean compared to a dragon." So what can you do- no, what WILL you do when I leave you to your solitude? You, you may toy with fate... BUT I MAKE IT."

Be polite, agther the pieces, ask for the scale, and thank the dragon for this learning experience.

>>6347721

it'll have its name continued in the same manner as shit basher

>>6347730
Bad. Ass.

>>6347668
Smile, with the understanding that the Dragon has given you the chance to take your father's legacy and finally make it your own, in your own way.

Fuck polite, I agree with this: >>6347730

>>6347730
That speech is awesome IF ONLY WE HAD MADE IT EARLIER. Do not make this speech until after we get the scale, or better yet not at all. Charles Bronson is not rude to a Dragon.

>>6347668
Ask if we can bury the bodies outside?
It's quite messy.

>>6347751


now thats just being an asshole

>>6347761
This. We might find something interesting while looting them...err...preparing them for burial.

>>6347762
And hes a gigantic dick of a dragon. He reaps what he sows. Charles Bronson, deathwish.

>>6347762
Charles Bronson did not make it this far WITHOUT being an asshole. A righteous and just asshole, mind you... But, still an asshole.

>>6347781
>>6347778
HE JUST GAVE YOU TWO DRAGON SCALES CUT HIM SOME SLACK.

>>6347788
Yeah, seriously. It would be like someone coming and demanding chunks of our skin.

>>6347781
>>6347778

For all we know what the dragon did could be like giving you parts of his penis.

Mmmmmm, dragon penis.

>>6347806
RESTORATIVE PROPERTIES!

>>6347795
and then being a dick when you demanded a fair price!

This threads getting close to autosaging. New Thread op?

( I will let you guys debate for a few minutes. Pissing on the dragon again -will- have an outcome. Or you can be polite. I need a tiny Afk, but will continue.)

>>6347781
>>6347778
The alternative is being a smouldering electrifried corpse. He's just given us two lessons - one is physical humility and another in the worth of possessions and life. Do you imagine Chuck would have survived either game had he valued vanity and his own possessions over his general well-being and the lives of a presumed innocent?

Charles Bronson thanks the dragon kindly for what is truly a treasure of unequaled value.

>>6347795
>>6347798
Oh shit! Be polite as fuck!

>>6347816
246 posts omitted. Click Reply to view.

Wow, almost 250 posts and no images, /tg/ is really one of the nicer boards on 4chan.

>>6347828
If he had valued his vanity more, he wouldn't have played the games. The gold would have been enough.

Three games for two scales, really.

We'll be polite. Take what's been given, and leave.

Let's archive this shit.

We have what came here for. Let's thank the dragon before buggering off.

Can I ask you one last question? What's the deal with dragons and treasure anyway? Humans collect gold to purchase other things, you're pretty much stuck with a wad of treasure that you can't do anything with.

>>6347828
We would've chosen the same choices in any other situation, our resolve to make this weapon is beyond that of simple greed. We aren't being a dick because we do not respect the lessons he "taught" us, we're being a dick because even gods and dragons DIE, I just want him off his goddamn high horse.

>>6347869
Dragons collect treasure because they are horrible and don't want anyone else to have it.

I think we should offer the dragon another round of drinks and ask him for a story

>>6347869
>>6347891


dragons collect treasure because they're jews

>>6347927
Yeah, let's get some more booze in here.

>>6347932
Thats what I said.

>>6347891
I need to go read my draconomicon.

Yes, jews whose genitals posess restorative properties.

"Now that the business is done may I tell you the story of why I need these scales?"

>>6347957
Back.
>"First, having a valuable treasure at yand gives the dragon some control over the circumstances of its own death (see Avoiding the Twilight) Dragons that lose their hoards often suffer so much trauma that their spirits become restless even after death.

>>6347990
Sounds like jews to me.

>>6347990
It goes on to say that the value of the hoard a dragon possesses determines the quality mate they can get.
Fuck you guys I like dragons.

>>6347963
Didn't we already do that?

Incidently, gather up the ruins of Ruined Shit, we're going to reforge this better than ever.

>>6348016
Dragons are cool except when they are nihilists.

>>6348016

see

>>6348012

BACK TO CHARLES MOTHERFUCKING BRONSON!

i hope firstquest didnt die

YES, THIS NEEDS TO BE WRAPPED UP!

>>6348061

the silver dragon ate him

>>6348061
>I need a tiny Afk
How tiny?

So, we gots four scales. Time to forge DAT AXE. Afterwards, we can go kill the baby black dragon, put runes of fire and lightning on the axe, and get the gold and silver dragons to immolate the corpse for extra blessings on the axe.

>>6347816
( Nope I am here, my special lady was having some trouble falling asleep. Now I am back to rock and roll. Starting a new thread to avoid autosage. Thanks a lot for everyone who has played so far. Will likely be up for a few more hours.)

>>6348126
Fantastic.

>>6348126
Just popping in to say that I'm enjoying your quest here. I'd contribute but I haven't read over the past two sessions I'd be clueless to so many things that I might just end up causing problems for everyone else.

Anyway, keep it up.

>>6348126
New thread? Link for anyone not here right?

It's continued here, for those interested.
