    138 KB Dragon Quest Part 3 That Motherfucking Goblin !XGZ8nDwSYI 04/17/10(Sat)18:06 No.9255012  
    Previous Thread: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/9238634/

    You are Maws, a dragon hatchling, barely a day old, and at the moment, you and your adoptive family are being attacked. A dracolich, its head larger than the inn in which you're staying, is attacking the city of Grendenholdt, your inn in particular.

    What do?

    You hop off of Sarah's head, gold coin clenched between your jaws, and dart towards the stairwell. "Maws!" She cries, running after you, as the rest of the party prepares to engage the behemoth.

    Turning around, you hop back into Sarah's arms, and she unceremoniously drops you in her pack, before returning to the party. Oglar is smashing any part of the creature that comes close, Rolf is swinging his giant axe with a fury, Sam... Sam is nowhere to be seen, but Sarah seems to be chanting something, as the creature, roaring and clawing at the building, continues its assault.

    Is there anything at all we can do? If not just stay with Sarah. If there's anything we see coming for us, make sure she does not come to harm!

    As you watch, one of the creature's claws comes tumbling down, crashing through the roof and the floor below, leaving a hole about twenty feet long. Suddenly, vines begin springing out of the walls of the inn, wrapping around the dracolich with increasing speed. After a few moments, tremendous vines are holding the creature to the ground, and the rest of the party hurries over to Sarah, the strain of containing the beast obvious on her face.

    "Do you have it?" She grunts to Oglar, and he nods, pulling a scroll out of his armor.

    Oglar unfolds the scroll, which bears what looks like a handprint on it. He places his hand against the print on the paper, mutters something, the paper begins to glow, and then suddenly the glow is everywhere, and it feels like you're falling.

    Finally, after what seems like an eternity, the light fades and the falling sensation stops, as reality swims back into focus. You're in a room carved from granite, lit by torches and filled with barrels.

    Well, the way I sees it, one of two things just happened:

    THe party was tricked into killing our mother, which the evil lich/wizard had planned for so that he could raise her as a horrible undead abomination

    or

    These guys have some really silly-powerful enemies.

    Either way, tremble uncontrollably. We need to get bigger fast.

    Look around. Is the room a simple one? Well furnished? And what's in the barrels?

    The barrels are large, and most seem to be leaking. The torches are burned down low, and you can tell that this place has been abandoned for a while. Oglar sighs, removing his helmet, as he walks towards a set of stairs at the far end of the room. "Come on guys, we need to get set up before Zohrn locates us again."

    The way I see it: the party killed our mother because they were told the phylactery of a lich (who I'm assuming was an enemy of theirs) was in her hoard. That lich is the dracolich.

    You nuzzle Sarah by way of an apology, as the party moves towards the back of the room. The barrels smell like fermented fruits and vegetables, and the only exit you can see is the stairwell leading downwards that the party is approaching.

    She did save our life, feed us, protect us, and nurture us. We already lost/abandoned one mother, no reason to do it again.

    Also if we had enough balls to kill an owlbear at 1 day old, we had enough balls to at least stand our ground.

    Apparently, the dwarves dug too greedily and too deep, releasing something that laid waste to their underground kingdom. The carvings of this event are very faint and sketchy, but a short ways farther down the wall, the carvings depict the creature being struck down and imprisoned.

    She squeals happily, petting you as Oglar leads the way into the larger cavern. You can immediately see that the cavern is a vast dome, with a hole in the center take up the vast majority of the room. You can't make out how deep it is.

    You don't need special abilities to detect the levels of magic emanating from the pit.

    You can detect some very powerful urge, but it takes you a while to realize what it is - Hunger. A hunger unlike anything you've ever felt before.

    "As soon as we know it worked, activate the scroll." Oglar says, key in hand. "Got it?" He asks, looking at Sarah. She appears close to tears. "Oglar, I... I..." "GOT IT?" He asks again, and she goes silent, nodding. "Alright then." he says, and with just a moment's hesitation, jams the key into the corresponding slot on the console, and twists it.

    Immediately, you can hear the sound of chains rapidly moving, retracting into the platform.

    Moria was full of pussies.

    Rolf has obviously NOT heard of the Tarrasque, as his face remains blank.

    Sighing, Oglar begins to explain. "It's big, it eats anything it can find, and it's impossible to kill, short of getting the gods themselves involved. BUT, I believe that I've been able to give it a craving for Zohrn's bones, and while he fights it, we should have time to prepare to deal with it when it inevitably defeats him."

    That's probably why Sarah had doubts about letting it loose. Tarrasque would probably eat half the world trying to eat Zohrn.

    That would present interesting possibilities for a full-grown dragon though.

    Stop with all the "waht if?" question, it's already done so we may as well just go with it. Worst case scenario we just need to make sure we can fly/swim faster than the Tarrasque.

    If Sam knows, that'd be handy. Shouldn't be two much longer before we're big enough to spar with him.

    Sarah stands up, holding onto you tightly, as she glares at Oglar. "Well, we'd better get started, shouldn't we?" With that, she walks into the forest, carrying you with her, as the rest of the party reluctantly follows.
