------------------------------------------------------------------------

You soar through the air, looking down at the world. It seems so small from where you are, it seems weak and brittle. You like it.

Malkon clings to your horns in fear, clearly Humans are not accustomed to such methods of transport.

"Actually..." Malkon begins, you can barely hear him over the sound of air rushing by. "I'd like to make a little stop first."

"Where to?" You as, slowing down and hovering in place.

"The Barbarian Tribe." Malkon replies. "I want to settle that score first."

You are currently heading North towards Kano.

What would you like to do /tg/? (And yes you can ignore Malkon. And yes you can go anywhere on the map at the moment, I'll do my best not to railroad you guys.)

Malkon is the Bromit. He told you his name in the last part.

If you're asking about how he is now? Shitting himself because he's using a Dragon as a mount for the first time. Physically? Stronger than he's ever been.

>>21191617

Fuck it. Barbarian tribe it is.

----------------------------------------------------

"Very well."

You unleash a roar as you approach the Barbarian camp, enjoying the cries of fear that you hear in reply as the humans scatter themselves. Some flee, others hold steadfast with weapons drawn.

Their faces, now masks of fear, come into view as you approach, slowing your descent as you come in to land.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Your first flight took more out of you than you realise, and you crash to the ground. Hard. Your legs fold underneath you as the force overwhelms them, causing your head to slam into the ground, hurling Malkon forward and dealing 36 damage to you.

Your health is now 414/450

The Hermit grabs hold of your horns and barely manages to stay aboard, crashing into your horns which deal 11 damage to him.

Malkon's health is now 49/60

The Barbarians stand in shock, their mouths agape, unsure whether to laugh, attack or flee.

-----------------------------------------------

Groaning as you raise yourself off the ground, you hear Malkon panting slightly.

"Are you well, friend?" You ask, the concern evident in your voice.

Malkon chuckles despite the pain. "Yeah, I'm fine. Your thick head took most of the blow."

Malkon sits up straight, and begins to address the poorly dressed crowd.

"Gentlemen. For 16 years your lot have bothered me. Every month you came to steal what little I had, every month you would come to hurt what little I was. Safe in the knowledge that all I had to defend myself with was an old rusted sword."

The grins had dissapeared from the faces of the Barbarians, who now looked angry. Malkon continued.

"Well...now I have a new sword, and as you can see..."He says, gesturing to your mammoth form. "It's a big'un."

Grinning you face the Barbarians and roar, spewing molten metal across the ground and through the air, coating almost a dozen men who scream and flail in agony, before being frozen in place, their twisted forms now a shining silver.

"Now...." Malkon said as the Barbarians scrabbled to get clear. "Who'd like to be the first to apologise?"

What do you do /tg/?

Rolled 77

>>21192082
Roar, stamp the ground, do that thing that bulls do how they blow out of air through their nose and scrape a hoof along the ground and then speak: I suggest you listen to the man and apologise, lest you end up like your breatheren here."

>>21192112
Two 77's in a row, how strange.

>>21192112
Basically this.
But don't say anything, just look fierce.
Do speak if they don't do anything for a few minutes.

>>21192147
I figured speaking would shock them as well. People probably don't expect a talking animal, even if it is a dragon.

i call bullshit

Green dragons start with 200 HP and evolve into nature dragons, the one we fought had 500 HP

Bronze dragons start with 300 HP and we evolved into a steel dragon so we should have around 700-800 HP

(You're supposed to be rolling a D20 bro, but I can adjust the result into D20 modo.)

You crash your claw into the ground, shaking the Earth and sending dirt spraying in all directions, tilting your head to look the Barbarians in the eye.

The Barbarians remain frozen in disbelief, unsure of what to do. Another stomp seems to get your message through, and one by one the Barbarians begin to drop to their weapons and kneel. It takes sometime before one of them gathers the courage to speak.

"Please uh, forgive us oh Caveman." He grunts, his voice grating and broken. "We were playing. All we do is fight the South Tribe, eat, then fight again. We needed entertainment."

You feel Malkon slide off your head, then see him approach the man, his armour glowing bright in comparison to the Barbarians dull furs. For a moment they stare each other down, seeing what the other will do.

"Entertainment?" Malkon replies, almost in disbelief, his voice betraying traces of anger. "You saw robbing and beating an old man as ENTERTAINMENT?!"

With a swift movement, Malkon smacked the backside of his hand against the Barbarians face, catching him off guard and causing him to fall sideways.

The other Barbarians begin to move, but none dare interfere within your presence

"MY. PAIN. IS. ENTERTAINMENT?!" Malkon roars, punctuating each word with a kick to the Barbarians stomach. "16. YEARS. OF. YOU. BASTARDS."

There's blood pouring from the Barbarian's mouth now.

What do you do /tg/?

>>21192205
Your HP rises depending on how far along you are to your next life stage. You literally only just reached your second stage. Green Dragons and their following evolutions are the second hardiest creatures, second only to your kind. That Nature Dragon has been around a lot longer than you.

>>21192224
My bad, forgot it was d20. Don't interfere, let Malkon do what he needs to do but if any other barbs try to get close literally crush them with a paw.

The air is quiet now, the only sound for miles is the dull thud that Malkon's boot makes as it hits flesh. You almost find yourself bobbing your huge head to the rhythm.

Out of the corner of your eye you notice something, then your hear it. The tiniest of whistles. Turning your head, you see a several arrows hurtling towards you and Malkon.

Bringing a single wing forward, you cover Malkon from the silent shafts and they hurtle into your wing and bounce off with a metallic *ping*, dealing 1 damage.

Your health is now 413/450

You both turn to see your attackers.

A large group of men is now approaching, wearing similar furs to the men already kneeling. Leading the group is a large human, taller than Malkon and almost three times the width, this man is wielding an axe with a handle longer than your claws.

"WHO DARES?!" The man roars as he approaches, clearly less easily intimidated by your stature than his...underlings? Perhaps in this human society, leadership is dictated by strength. You wonder if this applies to all human culture.

What do you do /tg/?

>>21192407
Roar loudly at the man and proclaim "I am Iridus the Steel Dragon, the reforger! This is Malkon and you shall pay for your greivances against him. Kneel now and beg his mercy or learn the rather of molten steel"

Or something that effect. Not sure how much that little monolog suits the character. Just going for intimidation and some anger.

Eat him.

In two bites, if necessary.

Tell the fat barbarian leader and his faglords to drop their weapons as tribute and be condescending about it(e.g. call him a little manling).

You turn your entire body to face the Barbarian Chieftan, before cocking your head back and bellowing.

The advancing party stop dead in their tracks, all but the Chief are now frozen in place, the Chief still marching towards you, though slower now.

You roar, your voice thundering across the land and echoing through to the heavens. "A Dragon dares, human. Drop your pitiful weapons, and I may spare your frail forms."

The Chieftain's face twists into a growl, his sense of survival wrestling with his ego.

"And if I refuse?" He mutters under his breath, barely loud enough for you to hear.

What do you do /tg/? remember to roll a D20!

The Barbarian Chief seems torn between letting his followers live and losing their respect, or betraying them to their doom. Either way, its quite clear what his options are.

>>21192865

However, he is taking far too long to decide for your liking, your send your jaws rocketing forward, intent on devouring him.

>>21192921 (Oh dear...)

Your maw only meets solid group as the Barbarian Chief dives out the way, bringing his axe around in a mighty swing and striking you in the eye, dealing 37 damage.

You roar in a mixture of pain and anger, stomping your feet wildly as you try to crush him. Unfortunately, you only manage to scrape him, dealing 8 damage.

The Barbarian Chief's now has 62/70 HP

The Barbarian Chief launches an attack of his own, his axe colliding with the rear of your front right leg, dealing 12 damage.

You now have 364/450 HP

>>21193011
>>21193073

You quickly leap to the side and lunge at the Barbarian, intent on severing that annoying axe from his body. The Barbarian attempts to leap away again, only to find your jaws clamped around his arm. You hear a satisfying crunch and a roar of pain as you rip the Human's arm clean from its socket, the force flinging him through the air.

Your initial attack dealt 28 damage, with the subsequent fall dealing a further 8 to the Barbarian Chief.

The Barbarian Chief now has 26/70 HP

>>21193023
>>21193068
>>21193085

You press your considerable advantage and spew metal from your maw, coating the area and the Barbarian Chief, dealing 25 damage.

The Barbarian Chief now has 1/70 HP and is not capable of fighting.

Raising your claw, you use Heal on the wound the Barbarian inflicted in his initial attack, healing 30 damage.

You now have 406/450 HP, and are no longer inflicted with accuracy penalties.

Oh, just remembered.
OP, any chance we can use magic to turn either into a smaller form or a human form?
Being big is nice, but it limits where you can go.

>>21193288

You turn to face the rest of the Barbarians. "Learn from this, humans. See what happens when one of your kind stands against a Dragon."

>>21193305
You raise your claw, cocking it back for the finishing blow. There's a screeching sound as your claws cut through the air, approaching the broken man with enough force to tear a building in half.

And then you stop.

Inches from his face, you stop.

"This is your last chance human. Apologise."

(Sorry for veering off course a little, but everybody is saying different things. Some what him dead, others want to heal him. Think you guys can reach a consensus?)

>>21193492
Well did he apologise? What was his reaction

>>21193443

(None at the moment, but I was kinda toying with the idea that the armour you crafted for the Hermit actually contains a piece of your soul, which is why its so powerful. Does being able to possess any who wears the armour sound okay? Other than that, you will unlock the ability to alter your size eventually.)

>>21193547


"Go to hell, lizard."

You sit back, anger welling up inside you, mixed with respect. If this man was slightly more humble, he'd make a good ally.

Ah well.

Without a sound and without warning, you lunge forward faster than the eye can follow. There is an almost inhuman scream as the Barbarian is devoured alive, his cries of pain reverberating around your throat as he slips down is, his still-living body burning in the molten metal that lays withing you.

You turn to face the rest of the Barbarian tribe, who have now all fallen to their knees and are watching you closely.

"Delicious."

You look at Malkor and ask. "What do you want of the rest?"

Malkor returns your gaze, his face a mask of anger.

"I'll leave that up to you." He replies.

What will you do /tg/?

>>21193584
(Sorry bro, you got in there a bit late.)

>>21193686
>>21193687

With a mighty roar, you spew molten metal at the kneeling Barbarians, covering some of them in blazing hot Dragonsteel.

The Barbarians begin to scatter, so you cut off their path with a ring of molten metal, eventually they stop running and turn to you, fear in their eyes.

"You are mine now." You growl, towering over them. "My will is your will. My actions are your actions. You will obey every command, or join your brethren in becoming monuments to your own ignorance." You gesture to the men you have killed, their bodies encased in metal, some mid-way through a stride, others cowering in fear.

With another roar, you coat the rest of their settlement in your own steel, turning it from a mess of dirty huts into simple, shining steel homes.

What would you have them do,/tg/?

(One moment, going to the Bathroom, carry on posting though and discuss what you would like them to do.)

"To the North, lies a brother I have slain." You tell them, pointing North where the monument is just about visible. "Who here knows of this Dragon's Lair?"

From amongst the scared faces, a single man steps forward.

It is him.

It is the same young boy who the Hermit fought all that time ago. He seems tougher now, his face a dirty, unshaven mess.

You lower your head to the ground, glaring at him from eye-level.

"I believe we have met once before, human."

The man is visibly shaken. "Aye mister dragon..sir.. sir dragon sir." He blurts out, stumbling for words.

You lean in closer, and can almost hear the sound of him dispelling fecal matter.

"You claim to know this Dragon's lair?" You ask, contempt and doubt evident in your voice.

Beads of nervous sweat appear on his brow as he nods, his eyes teary, but truthful. You raise your head away, the man's unclenching is almost audible.

"Very well." You tell him, "Lead the others to its lair, and retrieve what it has stowed."

The man begins to speak, but you cut him off.

"Are we clear?" you say forcefully, and the man falls silent.

You notice that something is missing, that there is now an empty space in the centre of the settlement where their fire once stood.

Walking over to the centre, you begin the process of building your tower once again.

But this is not like your old tower.

With your newfound abilites and flight, you shape and mould your metal in something that Dwarves would admire. A gleaming spire that towers towards the heavens, tipped with a huge roost where you and Malkon may rest. At the base lies a series of smaller houses for your new minions.

"Do not say I am not a kind ruler." You order them, before turning around and picking up Malkon, ready to take flight.

If you're all done here, roll for flight. If not, then roll and say your preferred action.

You take one last look at your iron kingdom as it glistens in the sun.

Small, cuboid houses surround the base of the spire, unfurnished but secure and weatherproof. Smaller, triangular huts mark the gorund just a bit further from the centre, showing where the original encampment once stood.

In the middle is your gleaming spire, which stretches towards the sky, a circular roost extending outwards at its tip.

Whilst in the sky, you hear Malkon speak to you.

"I'm worried about you." He wonders aloud...
