>Yearling's Stat sheet:

20 Mental Power
10 Limit
1 Bonus

Powers:

>Hypnosis
Hypnosis is somewhat of a misnomer: It forces the mind to turn on itself, sending it into a state of deep sleep. Only works on sentient beings.

>Telepathy
There are two uses of Telepathy. The first, which always costs 1 Mental Power, forms a link between user and nearby target until they move far enough away from one another, or are seperated by a dense material.
Further dedication of mental power allows for greater distance. Current base range is 20 meters ( 1 base, 1 bonus x 10 meters ) and maximum is 110 meters (10 limit, 1 bonus, x10 meters)

Hoard is currently worth 2 gold.
Current lair is an attic, which has the benefit of a steady stream of easy to hunt food in mice and rats.

>>24623293
Finally:

In order to use a mental power, roll "dice 1dx+y" in the email field, where x is the desired amount of Mental Power to use at once (current limit is 10) and y is your bonus (1). Be aware that using more than 20 points a day is highly inadvisable.

can we use telepathy to read mind/thoughts? if we can, use it on the lady to learn about her before we talk to her. if not, use telepathy and say hi, and tell her we are the spirit/protector/owner of this place, and all we want to know is what is she doing

>can we use telepathy to read mind/thoughts?
Only ones directed at you. This action will not yet be taken, but the roll is stored. (see the rest of the post.)

>>24623365
You slink carefully down the steps, draconic form well-suited at this age for stealth - and your color helps hide you in shadow a great deal. You finally get a good look at your host.

You don't know what humans are beautiful or not, but this one strikes you as a weakling and therefore ugly. She is slim of form, without muscle, wild red hair that is easy to grab cascading from her head. She wears a heavy dress of drab color. You almost scoff at her weakness, finding it an insult that she survives on so little while you, a strong and powerful dragon, must hide in darkness.

Contacting her might be a very large step. Are you sure you want to?

I seem to remember our size being described as that of a large cat. I didn't take that to mean between three and four feet long and two to three tall. Or was that including the tail in the length? Ah, details.

Anyway sneaking to get a look at the young lady and then attempting telepathic communication seems the most direct course of action. If she reacts poorly we are likely large enough to maul her to death. Claws and teeth and all.

>>24623488

"Red Lady. I demand your meat and egg food."

Stand tall and puff your chest out.

>>24623488
Are we capable of speech? If so, perhaps offer a bargain: Safety and companionship for food.

>>24623488
yep. as long as she don’t know where we are, we are safe. even if she freaks out and tell everybody, we told her we are the protector of this land (and we will explain that we talk about the town, not the house) so they want search in our lair

>>24623526
>>24623528
no, dont let her finf us. it will be much better if she will worship us like a spirit/god.

>>24623526

So being hidden is our plan? Then I change my action to hiding in the shadows while saying that.

>>24623528
>>24623567
we cant talk. we cant still use telepathy, however

You recall the speech of the other humans, and while you cannot yet emulate it, you can almost certainly do something similar with your mind. Slipping further into darkness, you connect your minds on a very limited level.

"Red lady. I demand your meat and egg food."

You can hear the woman jump a little as she changes the burners. You think she is looking around, but you can't tell. She's not moving, however.

"Who are you? How did you get in my house?" she asks.

"I am a protector of this land." from mice and rats, true enough, you think inwardly, "And I have been here since my inception." also true!

She nervously serves herself.

"I will not serve something without a name." she says, though nervousness tinges her voice. Hrn. A name?

Dragons have a language? You are unaware, but feel you want to learn it. The grunts of these small weak things (Well, normal-sized weak things.)

"You first, slight human."

"...Ysabell."

"Very well, Ysabell, I demand your food and meat and eggs."

"Your name, first."

"... Methylphenethylamine."

"That's too long."

"You can call me Dagon."

"That sounds like something else I know about. Some cult or something some Paladins were goin' on about."

"...Byzantium is another name I go by."

"Yeah, fine. Where are you?"

"... Your meager senses cannot detect me!"

"So where do I leave the food, Byza?"

"You will address me by my full name!"

"Byzantium, then. Where do I put it?"

>>24623734

"On the floor in a shiny tin. You will then retreat into your resting quarters and leave me be."

>>24623734
>The grunts of these small weak things (Well, normal-sized weak things.) are insufficient for your expressions.

>>24623745
Did you mean "shiny thing"? I am not sure we know what a tin is.

>>24623734
"in the night, when the moon is shining and the stars are covering the sky, you will leave the food in the largest room in your house. if it will be gone by the morning, you will know that all is well. if there will be left some, you will know that you are in danger, in it will stay full, you will know that something so mighty is coming, that it is threatening me"

>>24623745
Well saying "shiny" may make us seem greedy.

>>24623762
we know. read the last thread

>>24623762

Sure, but say "container" or "object" instead. We have proper talky understandy stuff and don't say "thing"!

Hrm alright. But if it is not shiny this day we will demand that the next one is shiny.

>>24623773

>>24623734
"On the counter would be sufficient. I will now grace you with my corporeal form."

Might as well make the reveal now rather than have the lady going and fetching those paladins while we are eating.

>>24623833
Agreed. Paladins would be quite the damper on our quiet life in the attic.

>>24623833
what? no. not until she is loyal/we can control minds. when we will show ourselves, we will say this is only a servent

"I ask that you leave me a large meal on the floor in the largest room! And then you retreat to your sleeping quarters for a long time, whereupon I will examine the offering. If it is all gone, things will be well. If not, there will be poor tidings!"

"What would you want?"

"I desire food!"

"No, I mean, what kind of food."

"...There are many kinds of food."

"Yes, that's what I'm saying."

"...I prefer the meat."

"What kind?"

"There are different kinds of meat?!"

"...Yes."

"Then I desire the dish that was here last night, in the shiny tin! You will make it for me! And I will feast, er, I will examine it!"

"Yes, yes. I'll get right on that."

"Most excellent!"

You march right back to the attic, rather proud of yourself.

>>24623833
"You get the feeling that getting caught or seen currently would be very bad."

How can we know she will not just decide to go see them AFTER seeing us in this form?

>>24623871

We're like a fairy! That's pretty cool.

Also what should we do if the meal is vegetarian based?

>>24623871

After much discussion, you have a mental image of the surrounding area. However, the young woman (The weakling Ysabell, rather) notes that she does not often socialize with her neighbors. You know there are several entrances to something called a 'sewer' nearby, and the names of nearby streets.

You ask about Paladins, and learn that they are enforcers of the will of a greater thing than her, and are very powerful. You note to avoid Paladins at any cost. Unless they are recently dead. In which case you assume they will taste fantastic.

You have a few hours before the weak human finishes making the pie meal, and street traffic seems to be rather sparse at this hour. What do you do?

Maybe we could go out to further explore the town. I mean, we're not going to sit there all day, are we?
(and we could loot more shinies)

>>24623996
why sage?
also, examine the house. see if we can see the largest room from here

>>24624005

Carefully look around. Search for a sewer entrance.

>>24624029
Why not? >>24623238 gave me the idea. Not that it matters very much to me.

>>24624038
You clamber from the window to the roof, sticking low to the house, looking around. Your mental map is indeed accurate, but the city is huge - the area you know of is only at most 1/50th of it. It's daunting, but not mind-shattering. You always knew the world was vast, simply because if it were not, it would be a disappointment to conquer.

You feel that openly walking the streets might be chancing it, on second thought, but there are many alleys and streets, so you slip into one and look around. Idly, you prey upon large rats that you find, eating them with joy of victory and power.

(Eaten 1 self-mass.)

You chance upon what the woman described as a sewer entrance. She mentioned that they were infested with goblins, who steal from humans and make themselves a pest. Which means, likely enough, that they have shiny things they stole. This appeals to you, on a very basic, draconic level. You also wander the alleys along Sally Street and Book Way, the latter of which has a lot of rectangular light things in its alley.

you know, being the protector of this land is cool and all, but if we can create a cult/religion that is worship us, and spread it far enough...

>>24624208

Into the sewer! We will feast on goblins today!

You move one near to your lair for later, hiding it. It has an image of something that looks like you on the front.

>>24624298
>>24624251
You slip into the sewers. The smell is cloying and deep, like the depths of some foul bin. The fluid that runs down the center of the large cave is unthinkably filthy, so you avoid it, looking around. Eventually, you find a few goblins, slightly smaller than you. Each holds a tiny dagger, and they all have sharp, sharp teeth and sharpened nails. You hang in the darkness, watching them.

You are interested, mostly in the shining objects about their waist, glimmering in the dark. They seem to be arguing over something, but you cannot see it or understand their yappy language.

>>24624601
With a great deal of effort, you connect to all three at once.
(A note: You have 16 Mind Power now. Be careful.)

"I am Eminence, the golden eater!" you roar in their minds, but they look confused, looking around with wide eyes. They don't seem to understand your language, and your mind is suddenly assaulted by theirs. Yipping, and yapping, filling your thoughts and your mind. It confuses you, and you forcefully cut off the link, groaning. It appears that communication requires more prescience than you expected. Still, they left the thing they were arguing about, so you walk over after they flee. It is long and pointed, shining. It appears to be something like the long shiny things you saw in Ysabell's food place not long ago, but more... dangerous. It shimmers invitingly.

You slip back into darkness, and find a single Goblin. While you cannot understand his yipping, he seems frightened, and you take the chance roar, rearing on your hinds and spreading your wings. You smell urea and he flees into the water, vanishing on contact entirely. Pleased, you pick up the shiny and march back to the entrance.

As you head up to the entrance, you notice a rectangular opening in one wall. The thing inside it seems off-kilter, and, curious, you push it open.

A large, large room, open and forgotten of purpose, greets you. It is free of the stench you found before, and tall. The room could easily fit you, and your horde, and it isn't that far to move it, either. Empty of life as it is, you consider it steadily, walking around the perimeter, tail sliding into crevices and holes to inspect it.

It seems you've found another good lair, but a small part of you wonders at the room's purpose.

>>24624957
It appears that you can lift your own weight, but not with ease. Your limit appears to be just that, and lower than that takes a solid effort down to a fourth of it.
(For reference, you weigh about 175 pounds.)
You can run decently fast, about 10 meters every few seconds without effort.
You cannot fly just yet. However, you can glide fairly well.
You have enough control over your voice to modulate volume and harshness of tone, but can only make meaningless noise.
You have no breath weapon.

Looking around the new lair, you consider relocating. There's only a few skeletons to clear up.

Which Lair do you want to keep?

>>24625117
Hooman lair, a servant is swell as fuck, plus rats

>>24625117

>>24625117
>You have enough control over your voice to modulate volume and harshness of tone, but can only make meaningless noise.
can we sing (or make any form of music)?
>There's only a few skeletons to clear up.

>>24625139

>>24625225

Red Lady.

>>24625225
red lady. but keep some in the skulls of the skeletons, just to be safe

>>24625258

If Red Lady displeases us we should put a skull in her bed.

>>24625322
no, the skulls stay underground, on the skeletons

>>24625237
>>24625258
You decide this will be your place of exploration in the day. Your money will remain in the attic, near Red Lady. Ysabell. Whichever. You look over the skeletons to find coins in the eye sockets, which you carry in one hand. These ones are even shinier than before!

Finally, you move up again, putting the coins in the book and clambering back into the attic carrying it all. The coins clink into your hoard pleasantly, and you place the thing next to it. The hoard grows! You jump aroiund it a little in excitement.

You can smell the meat pie, which makes you stop dancing and start drooling.

>>24625355

Drool OFF your hoard or it'll rust.

Also rush downstairs.

>>24625404
What? Don't you know that dragon drool just makes coins shinier?

Also check up on the red lady. Carefully.

>>24625404
gold dont rust. but still, keep our hoard dry. spy on the lady, and see if the moon had raised already

>>24625434
>>24625454
You slip downstairs, and there is the food, waiting in the center of the room, inviting, steaming in its heat. It's waiting, beckoning. The soft texture of the warm, savory meat, with that slight taste of nuts and sugar. The delicious fluids, the wonderful crust, and that shiny tin. You lick your lips as the scent, wafting into your nostrils, of freshly baked bread and cooked meat, slithers into your mind like a gentle suggestion.

You never realized before how hungry you were, just now.

Feast, and then open windows.

>>24625687
>>24625554
>>24625519
Checking for individuals nearby, you find none. Looking at the walls, you see windows, but do not know how to open or close them, or even that it can be done. So you just happily nosh on your pie, growling steadily as you feast. It tastes even better than before, with a different meat than you remember, and soon enough, you carry it up the stairs and drop it next to the long shiny. It feels good to be rich, you think, as the sun begins to set.

>>24625687
How about we just look around and eat the stuff if no-one is looking. Closing windows without telekinesis would be really awkward.

>>24625881
>Why hunt them? Scare them to death, and earn their service
You think, momentarily, on scaring your foes into service. It appeals as a dragon, but it falls apart when you realize you simply cannot commune with goblins. They speak a language you do not quite understand.

The tin sits next to your hoard, and you look it over. You think, for a moment, cutting out parts and pieces, working away until it fits firmly on your head, points jutting sharply up. Yes. This pleases you. The rest is polished with some work, and you smile at your own visage. You have some energy for the night.

The book rests next to your hoard.

Because we need to eat a whole lot. Rat's won't suffice and goblins are the next logical step. Even if our human feeds us some delicious stuff it won't sate our needs.

>>24626061
Yea, we should just scare the goblins again and again until the just freeze from feed when they see us. So when we could talk with them, we will rule them

>>24626178
>>24626071
You decide against harming the book, instead looking through it. The pretty pictures in it are of powerful creatures on mounds of gold, looking down on mere humans with sneers as they should. You are filled with pride for your brothers, and hope to one day grow as large and magnificent.

(Pastebin unlocked for end of thread.)

>>24626224
>>24626230
You mentally debate whether to rule the goblins or feed upon them and take their shiny objects. You really are not sure which is more beneficial. You do know you are a bit peckish, though.

>>24626230
You are making this more complicated than is necessary. As soon as we are powerful to kill them and able communicate with them we will be able to rule them. Until then scaring them will do nothing of consequence other than increasing the chance that some of them will try to kill you when they notice how small you are.

>>24626268
We will observe them. If they seem intelligent enough to be of any use we rule them. Otherwise we eat them.

>>24626280
Eating them might be more tasty, but toying with them of more fun

>>24626356
Too bad we have to eat then. Why would you think that eating them precludes toying with them anyway? There are many goblins I assume and toying with your food is a fun activity for a dragon.

>>24626356
So you're saying we should toy with them before eating them like a true Dragon would?

>>24626418
But do we have the time to do both?

Your final decision is to feed until strong enough or powerful enough to command them like a real dragon would. You slip back to the sewers, to your other lair, and begin to explore.

It isn't long until you come across a Goblin. He's wandering around, back and forth, seemingly on patrol of this area. His weapon is holstered, a long bit of metal with points all over, it looks hard to even hold, but worse to have shoved into you. There's not another goblin in sight, and you have the advantage of surprise. The tunnel is long, and has easy handholds along the sides and top.

Not safe to talk here, not safe with brothers around corners." he nods. "We walkers of the mind, we stick close, yes, we avoid problems, yes, not make them, yes?"

>>24627412

"In that case I should avoid you. Because you are a problem. I'm insulting you humorously by calling you a "problem" by the way, I am not afraid of you. You may resume talking."

Agree to follow him, he might be able to teach us more PSIONIC POWERS

You guys realize that had we used hypnotize on that goblin we attacked earlier we would have gotten to eat all of him instead of just an arm? and also properly loot him?

Also, there was no benefit to eating a sentient being like a goblin instead of hunting down dozens of stray dogs and cats.

>>24627673
>no advantage to hunting a single goblin instead of dozens of other animals

Are you retarded?

>>24627673
Golbins are tastier.

>>24627593

>>24627537
No

>>24627696
Are you?
>>24627700
I find that extremely implausible.

... also, we should totally rob a butcher shop.

>>24627714
Please explain to me how it's easier to hunt and kill DOZENS of stray dogs and cats, then it is to hunt and kill a SINGLE goblin.

Oh yeah, and which one do you think people will notice?

>>24627714

That sounds amazing. So much meaty happiness... can we ditch the goblin and do that right now?

>>24627733
Bad idea. The butcher will notice that his store has been broken into. While he won't suspect "MUST'VE BEEN A DRAGON!", people will certainly be more on guard after a break-in, which will just make our life harder.

>>24627728
1. A single goblin sized dog is easier to hunt. A dozen dogs are easier then a dozen goblins.
2. Goblins are people, they have language, weapons, their own psikers, and are organized. On the other hand, nobody will miss a few stray dogs and even if they do they will not come hunting us in a group for that.
>>24627768
People would be on guard? seriously? Break-ins occur all the time in a big city

>>24627787
Goblins are not really a threat compared to a pack of dogs. Wild dogs are brutal, vicious motherfuckers. They're more like wolves than dogs.

Goblins are:
Weak
Cowardly
Isolated from public view
large enough to make a full meal individually
and nobody cares if a whole pack of them turns up dead.

well if we do raid a butcher shop, drop a goblin dagger.

I bet people are used to being raided by the things.

"In that case I should avoid you. Because you are a problem. I'm insulting you humorously by calling you a "problem" by the way, I am not afraid of you. You may resume talking."

The goblin is amused at this, and leads you through various pipes. Finally, he ends at a hovel, tossing aside his blade.

"You were born alone, yes? I have been watching. You born alone, you born a walker of the mind. Use power freely. Did not you ponder, why alone? Why not with nest?"

>>24627908
A pack of wild dogs? in the city?
I was talking about lone strays.

Also, its hilarious that we put everything in our build thus far towards mind power (sacrificing physical power) and in our first real battle chose to use "rip and tear" as a strategy.

>>24627929

>>24627933
"I am alone because i am stronger than the rest. I do not need others."

>>24627933

Whatever.

>>24627962

Damn straight.

>>24627933
"I was curious about that. You claim to know the answer?"
>>24627962
Can we tone down the antoganism just a bit for the friendly bundle of exposition? we can always go hostile later on.

>>24627933
"The cause of my circumstances is of little interest to me. Such concerns are for my lessers. I am concerned with exerting myself over my lessers as is fitting for a dragon. Being free of nest mates and progenitors merely makes my path easier."

>>24628008
We're a dragon. We have two speeds, "asshole" and "scheme".

>>24627962
"I am alone because i am stronger than the rest. I do not need others."

"You are alone because you were stolen from your clutch." he said, "And while dragons are proud, any creature can be raised in servitude." he opens a book, flipping the pages. "Surely you understand what the word 'slave' means. Or even less - 'mount'."

The page he shows you is a mighty knight riding a less mighty-looking dragon into battle.

"Had I not intervened, you would be in a kennel. Being trained."

>>24628035

"What do you mean "intervened"? How have you helped me and why?"

"I saw another walker in my mind. And near it, other minds. I walked into them. I took the walker out. And I placed it somewhere safe." he said, "And as I said, Walkers are not beloved. So we work together. We live as brothers, for there are none like us. All Walkers walk together, or we die alone."

"I am a dragon! I do not need help!"

"And when the nations of the world bring their armies upon you, and your other dragons stand beside them, and the armies of man ride your brother's wings, and the elves cast their arrows on your horde, and the orcs raise their machetes for war, and the dwarves clatter their spears, it is not dragons or kobolds who will stand beside you." he says, "It is the Walkers, the ones you truly can call kin. Tomorrow night, I shall attempt to free the dragons in the kennals of the military barracks. I would like your help." he holds out his hand.

"Will You Walk With Me?"

>>24628183
Yes.
As mighty as we think we are if those things enslave our kind it would be prudent not to underestimate them.
We might think ourselves mightier then them but are we mightier then an army of dragons?
And besides, lesser beings should not enslave dragons... we should free them on principle.

>>24628183

"Fine. But only because you need my help. You'd probably fail without me."

>>24628183
"If you walk to free my kin from servatude, I will walk with you."

Hold out a hand analogue.

>>24628183

"If you walk to free my kin from servatude, I will walk with you."

He grins, and there is a strange feeling between you two - like shaking hands, you feel, but different.
"Then take this." he hands you a sack, "And this." and another. One is heavy with coins, the other, with what smells like meat. "My name is Jusaiso." he bows.

"And mine, Byzantium." you slip out with the bags in hand, walking akwardly on two feet as you feast on the whole leg of a bird of some kind, steaming hot. It is a fantastic day, you think, as you reach your lair, pouring the gold onto your hoard - it spills over the sides, at least thirty pieces. You'll need to take some time to count it.

And then the door downstairs slams inward.

>>24628456
Look at what the noise was while hiding.

>>24628456

Yelp in surprise before regaining composure. Then hide your hoard somewhere.

>>24628478

>>24628478
>>24628492

You yelp, hiding and shifting down the stairs. Large men are making their way inside, at least two.
"Where could she be hidin' that thing." one says.
"Well, it don't matter." another replies. "We've free reign from the guild to take what we please sos long as we find it."

They have long pointy things. You fear they intend to come for you and your hoard.

>>24628560
Can we use our mind powers to make one harm the other?

>>24628560
They are going to search, this most likely means splitting up. Use mind power to put them to sleep followed by ripping out throat. When both are dead eat them.

nope, we'd need Suggestion.

>>24628560

No, no, no! We need to hide our hoard! Can we fly onto the roof with our stuff?

>>24628577
no, that would be suggestion which we don't have, we can put them to sleep or we can talk to them, that's it.
