We live in a dungeon, ergo, tight confines everywhere, which renders close combat essential in any situation.

It will be easy. Just one push, coming from all directions at the same time.
Focusing hard, you flex your back muscles. Pushing out with the claw-like spikes, extensions of your bones among the tissue making your wings.
A deafening crack. You blink once. You blink twice. You made it out of your carapace. Everything is overwhelming, from your mother scent, to the radiance of her hoard.
Three more eggs lay in the nest. Your prison is scattered around you. It looks delicious.

Feasting on your quartz egg shell, your vision starts adapting to your surroundings.
You are in a dark, foggy and warm cave. A red glow lingers further down the corridor.
Going closer, the heat intensifies, starting to get unbearable. The corridor opens on a bottomless pit, radiating with heat and light. A path runs all around the caldera, filled with small alcoves such as the one holding your siblings' eggs.
One of those alcoves let see daylight.
One more thought lingers. How do you know so much? The answer is there : your parents transmitted necessary knowledge while you were hatching alongside the mana such a magical being require to sustain and grow.
Thus, you know your Obsidian mother is bathing in the magma sea below, which temperature would be unbearable for you.

You clumsily walks toward the daylight, magnetized. A snarl comes from below.
"Do not dare to get out. I spent too much hoard and energy on you parasite for let it be wasted by a reckless hawk"
Welp, so much to get a good look at your surroundings.

[13 : Failure]

Ignoring your mother's warning, you choose to try and get out anyway.
You only have to wait on the right opportunity. One where her focus is taken away from you.
A sharp spike of draconic presence rises from one of your sibling's egg. Chance!
Once again, you step on the hot pathway towards freedom. And you're stopped in your tracks by an imposing, although gentle, surge of energy.
You feel your body raising. Confused, you are beating your wings, and flailing in the air.
"A bit early, little white". This voice is full, deep, reassurating and authoritative.
The daylight is cut by a golden shadow. Your father drop his prey, an elk. With his sharp claws, he slice a respectable chunk of meat.
Picking you up by your neck with his fangs, he put you back again in the alcove that still contains your siblings. A crack runs along the amethyst one, as you hear regular ponding coming from inside.
With a push from his tail, your father brings you your meal.
"Eat, little white. Meat, and the quartz I dugged out for you".
While you fill up your belly, your brain is overwhelmed. How such a brilliant being as a dragon can be unseen, undetected? The answer lies in your grasp of Arcana : channeling your mana among your scales, you can deflect channel light to reflect what's behind you. Not true invisibility, but enough to turn you from a shiny treasure into a glimmering void.
[Unlocked skill : Stealth]

What do you do now?

You decide to scuttle around the caldera. The path contains numerous alcoves, each fill up with its own wonders. Gold. Precious stones. Finely craft jewels. Historical treaties. Potted plants. One in particular makes you stop, double take, and get closer
>63 : The hoard contains a finely craft wood cabinet filled to the brim with its own hoard of tiny statuettes of humans, orcs, dwarves, dragons, and other humanoids.
Know your place, parasite. Every single piece of this hoard is mine.
You're not fair, darling. After all, half of it is mine. Moreover, we agreed letting the kids get one thing from each of us, didn't we?
FINE. Moreover, it's better you take something of limited value instead of a really precious part of the hoard

>10 : Failure
...But the item overwelm you. It's okay, after all you were born half a day ago. You don the crystal necklace, and take the alcove containing the cabinet as your own.
Your mother honors you with her presence, taking her own items out of the nook of the cave you feel is yours now.

While picking up the quartz your father set aside around your egg, you check on your siblings.
The Amethyst egg beared a female, the second born, which hatched using her breath.
The Emerald egg beared a male, the mightier of the pack, that got out using his sharp claws
The Sapphire egg is still to hatch.

Your first reflex is to get Father to help. However, it seems he went out again, and you're pretty sure Mother would love nothing more than plausibly deny the lack of involvement in the potential death of the sapphire one.

>[16, success]
You mentally reach the sapphire one.
"Can you try to open your wings in the shell, to fully crack it?"
"Let me try your approach... The lack of getting out shall tell you this isn't the way for me"

You have to act quick. Get the egg, take it with you somewhere self.
Using your wings, you swiftly leap above your amethyst and emerald siblings. Flapping again, you realise you got it : this is not a jump, this is a real flight. Your hatched siblings, dumbstrucked, can only raise their heads and watch as you go past them toward the unborned one.
You land on your kin's shell, grasp it with your claw, and try to take off high with it...
>[Not a crit nor a double success]
But it is way too heavy. After all, hatchlings' wings got difficulties carrying the burden of their own weight, so two of them? Borderline impossible.
However, you did manage to lift it a bit and let it drop. And it turns out to be the little bit of help your sister needed.
"Now! Push"
She was lying with wings facing ground in her egg. Pushing was fighting against ground. And you suspect one of your lest benevolent littermate to be the one responsible for puttng the egg on such a perilous position.
Good news, she is unscathed. Bad news, the niche's exit is behind your belligerent brood.

>4 vs 2
The little emerald one takes one step forward, snarling. Time to use your breath!
You open your jaws, and concentrate your draconic energy... into a couple sparks.
However, your brotherly rival tries to do the same... And nothing comes out. At least you scared him a bit.
>14 vs 12
In the meantime, your purple-clad sister open her mouth, charging her breath attack. And she got spooked by your youngest ally.
A concentrated wave of sonic energy, intense although poorly focused, mark up your victory, albeit partial.
Using the window of opportunity, and glaring furiously at each-other, you fill the egg shell with the blue jewels rightfully belonging to your sister, while she holds in her fang the biggest meat quarter she can manage.

They are indeed powerfull and waiting for the right arcanic nudge to activate. And you find just the key. The item is a spacial treasure, way bigger on the inside than the outside.
Speaking the key formula with a claw movement shaping an arcanic key and lens, you are able to activate the magic inside the item... And enter the room inside, a half-sphere with a 3-meter radius.
Perfect for storing your hoard.
[But wait, there is more thanks to the crit]
Runescript and Arcana are close. Shaping your key, you understood the underlying concept of a part of the enchantment of the item.
>Learned the spell GlassWalk : allowing you to cross glass panels, mirrors, and translucid surfaces.

It's the dawn of a new day, your third one. And Father is taking you out for hunting.
Finally! stepping outside the caldera, your senses are overwhelmed with what you only caught a glimpse of the prior day
You are in a mountain pike, dominating a wild woody valley. The grass is green, flowers budding, trees are getting their spring leaf coat, and there is still a little chill in the air. Perfect related to the warmth of the cave.
The hunting today is supervised, but "Nothing teaches more than your own mistakes.". Meaning you are on your own.

While little green is starting to feast, little purple starts to circle you. She seems ready to pounce, trying to steal her meal.
"No infighting."
The message is clear.
"Then, make them give, Father."
"Only if they want so, little purple."
Good opportunity.
"We're OK to share. But you'll have to beg, and more importantly, apologize to little blue"
"Fine. I beg you for some of your hunt's spoil. Also, sorry."
The first part was sincere. The second, not so much.
"You know, the ones among us with more than a drop of empathy in their heart can feel sincerity"
It takes some time, around half an hour, but in the end, your Amethyst sister laid out nice heart-full excuses; including a bit of speech on how together can mean being stronger.

>>5313037
>How do you feel about the quest so far? Especially, writing and images...
>Do you feel your choices matter?

It's fun, writing is fine and the images are a nice touch that not all quests have. I do definitely feel the choices matter, but it's hard to say how much given we are still in the "early game".

>will you be confortable if the rhythm slows down?
Yes, but your pace so far has been wonderful, I would love if you maintained it.

>Any meta or not-so-meta question?
We seem to be scaling rather quickly, given "leveling up" gets us an extra dice to roll for a skill, which is very powerful, and we're only a day or two old. Is this going to slow down, or do you have a plan to handle scaling?

>>5313037
>How do you feel about the quest so far? Especially, writing and images...

Seems fine so far i think. not a lot of fluff with super detailed description is fine with me.

>Do you feel your choices matter?

GIve me more time to actually see what kind of Things we will be able to do later and how our character sheet looks like. So far we are a hatchling.

>will you be confortable if the rhythm slows down?

it's /qst
It's often slow and that is fine by me. I do have to work after all. THough several updates a day do feel very nice.

>Any meta or not-so-meta question?

Are the Dragons similar/ directly linked to Dragons from DND with their alignements or are they more homebrewed? Like Gemdragons get Psionics later, Metallics get Shapeshifting powers etc.

>>5313042
Here are my notes related to XP :
XP :
Level | progression of skills (success)
1 1
2 3
3 7
4 15
Crits count as double success for XP purposes.
Balance is still WIP. In the end, you will use more the skills you're good at so it will slow the grinding. But as the usual DC is 15, it can become fast unplayable thus fast scaling early.

>>5313047
Dragons are heavily inspired by Dnd; although all dragons are a bit psionics and can become huge mentalists, all dragons are able to shapeshift with mastery of arcana, all dragons like hoarding. The scale kind was more an alignment check, and orient how the lair will look like. But you could have played an evil gold dragon, or a good black dragon.

>19, huge success
Thanks to the help of your dear sister, you made it work!
It took its fair amount of time. Since you hatched, you feel the breath is what defines a dragon. And being unable to hurl destruction made you feel diminished. Unwhole. Not worthy.
Not anymore. Your breath attack radiates. a full beam of pure energy; glowing, burning, cleansing white light. You feel... Great. Granted, there is still much to improve.

>>5313152
>Focus on your wings, flying farther for better or easier preys
The lair constraint makes me think our lair may be open air, and besides just that, finding such a place may be difficult, so wings should be especially important.

>>5313162
I'll consider it for second thread.
If The curse don't take me down before. Or little white dies an horrible death

>>5313167
Well i think something like a blown out Volcano Crater might be useful for that. Or a shallow cave for the beginning.

>>5313168
If that happens we can just start over. Death in the first thread is not that terrible. Not too much time was invested yet.

>>5313176
Yeah, I'm not liking it already. It sounds super open and unsafe to be forced to have the stars visible, which usually means no roof. How can you even call something like that a "Lair"?

>>5313152
>Focus on your wings

>>5313181
We could dwell in a volvanic caldera, an anandoned castle with a star-chamber or courtyard, a densely-forested region, a lake beneath clear skies... We have options.

>>5313225
Who knows what the setting is made of? If only you would have some kind of way to get knowledge on the world and its lore...

>>5313225
i would assume that with shapeshifting magic we might be able to just negotiate with the latter to build us something in exchange for services rendered and money exchanged then just move in once they are done and spruce the place up with whatever decorations we like.

Of course the former might be able to do that as well though i imagine they might be quite a bit worse at doing it than the latter.

Oh i just had an idea. Dark Dwarfs.... maybe Chaos Dwarfs we can subjugate.

>>5313230
If only such things didn't come at the opportunity cost of being able to fend for ourselves..

>>5313234
Then it would come to a tradeoff of do we want to sacrifice some of our horde for better quality, or get something a bit worse (but perhaps serviceable?) while also having a more permanent (and loyal?) workforce

My fellow dragon enjoyer.
We have Glasswalk. We have light related powers.
Mirrors. So many mirrors.
The old Egyptian trick with mirrors redirecting the light/image of the stars down to our lair.
Using our Skills to create magic glass.
Turning the lair into a Mirror Maze.
We can already pass through the wall with only Glasswalk. At higher levels, we could enter a mirror in the heart of our lair and end up on the outside. A nightmare to navigate, plenty of nooks and crannies to hide the hoard with one way or two-sided mirrors so only we can have access. And that's before we use our breath, which is technically a laser, and just bounce it off the walls to catch intruders off guard. I say we can make this work, easily.
Also, it'd be a lair we don't even have to defend most of the time how complex we could make it. A dungeon so disorienting and unfair, adventurers just don't bother!
I admit a lot of the fancier stuff requires high-level glass-making, but even the basic applications of Glasswalk and the ability to make reflective surface on basic metals like copper give us some nice options. Also, smelting stuff is easy since we're in a caldera.

I think we should try and do that before we leave. Find good ore for mirrors, melt them with the caldera, make basic reflective surfaces, stuff them in the pocket dimension. Easy mirrors for our lair with no need to set up a forge!


Also, QM question. Glasswalk works on mirrors. Which side needs to be reflective, entry or exit ?

On further reading, simply reflective surfaces seem to be beyond Glasswalk's (current) scope. Still, a mirror system to satisfy lair requirements is still possible, I believe.

>>5313269
>Also, QM question. Glasswalk works on mirrors. Which side needs to be reflective, entry or exit ?
[Either, providing you don't put it on a brick wall.

>>5313278
[Simple surface like a sheet of metal polished into mirror? I'll allow it]

>>5313269
>Find good ore for mirrors,

So you want to find Silver Ore?

That was what was used before we could use other materials for mirrors. Refining the shit is gonna be another venture entirely.

Maybe we could use lead. Would be much easier to acquire but also much less reflective especially if we wanted to bounce star light.... which is not that strong over large distances.

And we would have to find out how to make lead glass for the best surface area. Though Glass making in and off itself is not easy if your a dragon that can not really hold the required tools.

>>5313282
hm..... so bronze would probably be pretty useful then. Though we will need a small army or servants just to polish the mirrors to an acceptable degree.

Wait a minute...
>Dragon
>Light powers
>Clad in white
>Proficient in arcane arts
>Mirrors, so many mirrors
We are bloody Lucifer!

>>5313287
So I dug about and Wikipedia has an interesting tidbit.

>The earliest manufactured mirrors were pieces of polished stone such as obsidian, a naturally occurring volcanic glass.[4] Examples of obsidian mirrors found in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) have been dated to around 6000 BC.[5] Mirrors of polished copper were crafted in Mesopotamia from 4000 BC,[5] and in ancient Egypt from around 3000 BC.[6] Polished stone mirrors from Central and South America date from around 2000 BC onwards.[5]

And note number 4 has good information also.
https://web.archive.org/web/20110203052336/http://www.lantiquaire.us/origins-of-mirrors.html

So polished copper may be enough, or even perhaps obsidian, and considering we are in a caldera, I'm sure we can work something out !

>>5313299
Well if we do it right our Lair will truly deserve to have a small signpost nearby reading "abandon all hope, ye who enter here" !
We could even scratch a little "Welcome to Hell" on a mirror/wall at the entrance. Much better than a welcome mat, I say!

>>5313304
>Implying it will not be a brilliant Pandemonium(Pandraconium?) with thousands of mirrors

[can someone roll me quickly 1d4+1?]

>>5313315

>>5313312
It will be ! I just find it amusing to have either a famous quote on a dinky wooden signpost or to have our MC scratch out stuff in human script to spook intruders further.

Also, our breath is a beam. A beam of energy. Of light. Oh no.
Any of you guys ever played with a laser inside a glass cube in a simulation flash game ?

>>5313300
well we would have to find our own caldera then.

I doubt mom would let us stay here when we grow older. Though she might not consider the volcanic glass valuable so conceivably we might be able to take some with us to try out polishing it. But anything big enough to let us easily get through it would be incredibly heavy to lift so flight would be impossible or the piece would be to brittle.

Also pure obsidian isn't super common. often bubbles and small pieces of pumice can mar it.

Nice to look at but not that useful for mirrors.

>>5313321
you mean we could use mirrors and essentially glassfiber to redirect our beams around our lair to strike potenial enemies in the back?

>>5313321
[Let me remind you a detail of the Quartz scales trait :
Quartz scales : Immunity to cold and light.
>>5313157
>Quartz scales : Immunity to cold and light.
]

>>5313323
We can just grab things when we leave. We have a pocket dimension which we specifically thought would be good for storing a hoard. Also, transportation appears instant, so just lifting something and activating the trinket should be enough to get something in and out.

QM, what's the rules on blocking the dimension, by the way ? Does putting something directly in the middle cause problems, or do we appear so long as there is enough available volume to contain us ? What if we somehow leave only volumes smaller than us ? What happens then ?


Not just in the back, travelling the beam in a mirror-filled environment will cause it to ricochet. With regular straight mirrors, that ricochet is fixed, but with concave mirrors, moving the beam just a little will send it in a completely different direction.
At that point we could forego careful trick shots and just bathe a killzone in unpredictable laser fire.
>>5313328
Oh, and we can just be in the box and be immune to our own bullshit tactic. Thanks, QM, very cool!

>>5313328
And cold immunity.

Say we get ice magic.Do all of this. But we can just build our lair in an iceberg and use ice for mirrors. This is so broken.

>>5313339
I would imagine that the Lightbeams might melt the ice more easily than they would Metal or polished stone.

But a nice idea. As long as we can make sure that our home will not just melt. So that would likely mean migrating into a very cold enviorment. Likely with a lot less available prey.

Plus side. Less adventureres. Downside. Less loot.

Likely though that if we settle near a coast we might be able to just go partially aquatic.

Its so freaking true..either abysmal failure or roaring success >>5313926

Consequence of using d20s instead of d100s with a little dash of coincidence probably

Rolled 4, 20 = 24 (2d20)

>18 vs 14, huge success
As you dive, you come to a realization : you can rearrange lightly your scales' layout, thus increasing aerodynamism and manoeuvrability. As you put your head in the necklace's chain, your sibling is preparing another breath attack.
But he doesn't stand a chance to land a hit versus your agility, barring an extremely lucky shot.
>17; chance to transform the dive into attack opportunity
Your trajectory brings you back close to your brother. Time to dive-strike like the flying menace you're becoming
>20, 17; Critical success
You take the exact window of opportunity where little green catch his breath. A triple strike, of horn, claws and tail connects from your airborn attack.
This should be enough to get him out, you guess.
>19 : Brother trait : Tough activation
But here comes a surprise. The wounds of your brother start closing before even his deep green blood starts flowing.
Both of you are shaking, although he's in a poorer state. Next round will determine the issue of the fight.
>Roll 3d20 to close the fight; +1 die from your airborn superiority.

Time to close it. another passage should be enough.
>14 vs 20
Surprisingly nimble after sustaining so much damages, your brother dodge your bite and use his own fangs on your wing, dragging you to the ground. You can feel his aura of smugness. Rising a clawed paw, he is ready to end the fight...
>9 vs 4
But it looks like it was the last of his energy. The hit is weak, and even in your dominated, struggling state you have enough fight in you to block the hit with your own anterior limb, and use the distraction to slam your tail on his temple. You can feel his consciousness fade like a putted out candle while he drops, defeated.
>Pyrrhic Victory. You're still standing and in ownership of your meat. But you sustained heavy damages and won't be able to fly until your wing gets better.

[ Father would had prevent it going too far. And at least on your side, you are pulling a bit punches to not completely harm your brother, as your objective was to beat some sense into him]

Father nods, take little green in his mouth, and bring him back in the cave.

Meanwhile, you share your spoils with your grateful and supportive bound-sister.

[Locking in Arcana].
Alright boys, roll me some d20.
Two of them, as your sister-bound is sadly not proficient in such realms.

You focus your internal energy, and delve in your ancestral knowledge; looking for ancient solutions to ancient problems : how bring someone's scaly butt back on its paws.
>20. [Critical success]
Focusing on your body's arcanic projection, it's more than clear. Your physical state appears to you as a huge stained-glass rose window. Applying your mana as paint, you revive dimmed color, recreate the underlying glass where it needs. On your peripheral arcana vision, you perceive other rose windows, smalls for your siblings, dominating for your parents.
Not only the converting of internal mana comes to you easier than breathing out, you manage to burn less than your full supply. If you exert yourself, you can do it again today.

[Taking this one.]
You took a full rest. You wake up, filled to the brim with energy. You made a complete recover from yesterday's fight, and your magic fills you to the tip of your scales.
However, no hunting today : a storm is brewing. The warm afternoon give place to a muggy night, and the downpoor can break any moment now.
You decide to capitalize on your morning by...
>Scavenge the deep parts of the mountain for mirrorisable materials : obsidian, copper, silver, whatever

>Stealth. This might be invaluable once you have to leave and fend for yourself.

>Stealth. This might be invaluable once you have to leave and fend for yourself.
I feel like we should have decent stealth, just in case, but I'm also fine with cabinet and studying the rulebook. Arcana studies can be done later, as can scavenging, and the latter especially doesn't really help us survive on our own until we're established anyways.
