    In the darkness of a cavern, high in the mountains, a sound is heard; the cracking of an egg shell. The crack grows, until finally a small snout manages to break through. The egg rocks briefly, then falls on its side, shattering as you fall out of it, onto the cold, wet cavern floor. Your scales are thin, and you are still covered in the mucus from within your egg.

    What do you do, /tg/?

    As you open your eyes, it takes them a minute to focus. However, once they've adjusted to being used for the first time, you see that you are in a small alcove at the rear of a large cavern. Around the alcove's entrance, you can see a clutch of crushed eggs, each one containing the remains of a black wyrmling.

    >>6880046

    You cry out weakly, but your calls echo throughout the cavern with no response.

    You crawl towards the opening of the alcove, your new limbs feeling strange and awkward. As you approach the opening, you can feel a chill breeze blow - it causes you to shiver, your thin frame poorly insulated against the elements.

    You let out a belch, causing a small stream of fire to shoot out at the shattered remains of the eggs. Covered as they are in dried-out plant life, they light, providing you with a source of heat... For the time being.

    >>6880249

    Making your way around the flaming eggs, you flap your wings a couple times experimentally, and then try to take off - You manage to glide roughly three yards across the cavern floor before gravity asserts itself. You have yet to master true flight, it seems.

    You sweep the shattered remnants onto your body. One of them fits your head roughly, almost like a helmet. The warmth is comforting, and the light they provide proves useful as you venture out into the cavern at large.

    The floor is speckled with little chunks of metal - the largest the size of a pea. You instinctually recognize the material as silver. Looking around, you can tell that this must be where your mother kept her hoard - but it's gone, and there doesn't seem to be any sign of her, either.

    You test your fire breath on one of the little chunks of metal, but it doesn't seem that you are powerful enough yet to melt the various metals present into bars.

    You spy the cavern's sole (visible) exit across the way, and glide over to it - Your flight skills are improving, as it only takes you two landings before you arrive.

    Looking up, you can finally make out the shape of the scorchmark on the ceiling - it looks like a dragon, although what type, you're not sure.

    Looking backwards, you are able to ascertain that you are male. Males have little things, right?

    You see your tail flicking back and forth, and suddenly feel an overpowering urge to chase it. You spin around in a circle for a solid minute, before tripping and falling down, disoriented. The room feels like it's spinning.

    As you reorient yourself, you can smell fresh air coming from the tunnel entrance where you're situated. It's faint, but it's there.

    The only other things you can smell are the metal chunks in the cavern, and a variety of ambient rodent and insect scents.

    You run your tongue along your teeth, tasting the few remaining morsels of meat. Based on the level of decay, your best guess is that the whelplings were killed at least a month ago - the scorch mark on the ceiling seems to be about the same age, but then, you're only guessing.

    Crawling down through the tunnel, you eventually see a flicker of daylight. Coming to the entrance, it takes your eyes a moment to adjust to the bright daylight. Outside, you see a swamp. It seems like a nice day - the sun is shining, and there aren't any predators readily apparent.

    As a familiar we'd gain spell resistance and some feats, and the minimum level for a red wyrmling familiar being 12, we might as well go with true familiar to have someone reliable and powerful instead of a show-off.
    The problem is that it prevents us of gaining class levels...

    As you ponder your next course of action, you notice movement in the swamp's undergrowth. Whatever it is, it seems to be coming your way, and judging by the amount of shrubbery that's moving, it's probably big. What do you do?

    You fly up into a tree near the entrance to your lair, just before a wolf enters the clearing in front of the tunnel's entrance. It sniffs the air, apparently looking for something, then barks three times. Two other wolves appear out of the underbrush, and together, the three enter the tunnel, and are soon lost to sight.

    Ignoring the ooze for now, you continue down the tunnel, until eventually it opens up, into a roughly 10x10x10 chamber. Looking around, you can see that the room was artificially made - although how long ago, you're not sure. The mucus stops at the entrance to the larger chamber, leaving whatever it contains mostly hidden. You can hear movement, and the yipping ceases, replaced by some rather unintimidating growls.

    You and the goblin split a fresh corpse, then head back down the tunnel. As you descend, you can smell the adults. In fact, you can hear them.

    That's right, but we'll have to go with adventuring before we have the required necromancer levels.

    Ask the goblin if he can help me with the fight, I can't use my breath with the cerberus down here too.

    He grunts, looking down at the snarling wolves. "Yes... But I'll need a couple more drops of your blood to heal myself to the point where I can use spells."

    Strategy:
    Give blood.
    Feed meat to wolves.
    While wolves are momentarily distracted, attack.

    Questions/Suggestions?

    Sounds fair.

    Unless he's got some way to tame the wolves that means we don't have to kill them.

    He takes the proffered tongue-blood, drinking the few drops slowly. He then turns to you and grins, shaking his head as you move to push some of the meat down.

    "Don't bother. Watch."

    He closes his eyes, and begins to chant. The hairs on his head rise, as if he were submerged in water. His eyes begin to glow beneath his eyelids, as a ball of softly glowing blue light forms in the center of the chamber, above the wolves, which lie down, their eyes slowly closing, as they fall asleep.

    He looks at you scornfully. "Would you wake up if someone were skinning you alive in your sleep? Hurry, we must go - I do not know how much time we have." He hops down from the ledge, looking around for the pup, then gasps as he spots it, snoozing in the corner. "So... It is true..." He mutters, picking the pup up and slinging its sleeping form over his shoulder.

    Alright, it's time to exit the cave and to find a camp. Or at least the next encounter.

    I ask the gobbo if he knows about the surrounding landscape, and if so interesting local sites.

    Let's get going then. Oh one more thing, the goblin wouldn't happen to know any spells that would enlarge the sleeping wolves and send them into a berserking frenzy to distract the necromancers, would he?

    The goblin leads the way down the exit tunnel, until finally the pair of you emerge into the gloom of the swamp. He waits until you are out of the tunnel, and then, with a quick muttered phrase, collapses the entrance behind you.

    He then turns to you, a grim look on his face. "I do not enjoy this, but it is what must be done." He pulls a knife out of his rags, but before you can react, slices his left palm open, and extends his hand.

    "I owe you a life-debt, wyrmling. Tell me, what is it that you are called?"

    He nods slowly, taking this in. Out here in the semi-sunlight, the gray in his hair is more noticeable. He looks at you expectantly, his hand still outstretched.

    He sighs, takes ahold of your wing, and lightly pricks it away from the membrane, drawing a little bit of blood. He then grasps the pricked spot so that it is touching his own hand wound, the blood intermingling.

    You feel a tingling sensation run down your spine, but it is gone quickly. Looking at your wing, the prick is already healed.
