Re: (IC) Dragon Lands-Temple

"Ignorance? Hush. I do not know what these mountain have as I have never been here. Do not speak as you could be heard. Listen and follow." The ranger definatly seems to be aggrivated by Zok. He stares at her but doesn't bother saying a word. Tilting his head he looks around the cave that keeps moving upwards and theres no sign of spiders or whatnot.

Re: (IC) Dragon Lands-Temple

Setsuko quietly shakes her head as the ranger seemed to become more disagreeable and obstinate as the three of them climbed the mountain. Moving up to just behind Zokiro, Setsuko quietly whispered into her ear, "Forgive me for not being patient enough to share words with Qing, leaving that burden to you for both of us. As he will tell us nothing, let us learn by watching as we follow."

Re: (IC) Dragon Lands-Temple

Suddenly what sounds like thunder booms out!

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

It then stops.

Setsuko immediately freezes in place and attempts to determine where the explosive sounds came from. She then looks toward Qing to see the ranger's reactions.

Re: (IC) Dragon Lands-Temple

The ranger pauses for a moment, looking around. He draws his bow and is silent. The man looks over at them and nods his head for them to follow. After some time leading upwards he stops finding no track, no bones. No trace of anything been here just gravel with stalagmites and stalagtites from the ceiling and floor "I do not know what just happened. Perhaps I thought of it as a beast but that sound. Almost like thunder."

Re: (IC) Dragon Lands-Temple

"Magic, alchemy, monsters, an avalanche, or perhaps a trap," Zokiro speculates.  "Should we get under cover?"

Assuming Qing seems all right with that, Zokiro will cautiously make her way inside, trying to see if there is any spiders... or other dangers lurking.

Re: (IC) Dragon Lands-Temple

Moving quietly and watching for possible trouble as they move onward, Setsuko remains silent. When the others speak, she pays close attention to what they say and do.

Inwardly she was simply unsure of what do to beyond following the ranger and her clan sister. She could hardly admit to herself that she was afraid of the repeated booms, so she felt it useless to share her thoughts and feeling about something she had no knowledge of whatsoever.

Re: (IC) Dragon Lands-Temple

Some time passes with the ranger in front followed by the two woman. Nothing happens, nothing creeps out to attack. Everything seems calm but not the ranger. Qing just seems focused and he keeps trying to find tracks. After about a hour, Qing stops as they are about to go outside again. His eyes narrow for a moment and then he keeps going. They find a open field with flowers in the center, about 30' away. Its hard to tell if these are the flowers needed but it looks like there is no other way up unless you climb or fly.

Zokiro smiles at the sight of the flowers.  "Are these the ones we seek?" she asks softly.  Unless Qing waves her back, Zokiro will approach them and see if they are the ones described in the temple texts.

Setsuko's face also brightens into a warm smile at the sight of the flowers. Almost in a trance she slowly takes several small steps towards the field then seeming to come awake she stops and returns to her clan sisters side. "It is wonderful to see such beauty after all ugliness and danger we've seen so far."

Re: (IC) Dragon Lands-Temple

The ground seems to move as the monk and shugenja get close. It roars as what appears to be some sort of reptile awakens. It hisses as they approach. Upon its back is what is needed-the flower. Qing points it out and pulls out his bow! It growls again and stands up fully, about the size of a 6' man.

Carefully keeping an eye on the dragon-like creature, Setsuko bows and addresses the creature. "Noble being please forgive us for disturbing your rest. Please speak with us."

Zokiro also bows deeply to the dragon, speaking respectfully in Draconic and Spirit Tongue in turn.  "Honored One, we pardon for intruding upon you. May these humble sisters of the Dragon clan approach to make our amends?"

Re: (IC) Dragon Lands-Temple

The dragon stands up, growling at the three intruders. It howls as they speak, staring at them. Qing keeps his bow drawn but lowered. Its hard to say if the ranger understands them but the dragon growls several times and stares at them "Speak!" He speaks in draconic.

Re: (IC) Dragon Lands-Temple

"Most Honored One, we came to your mountain and meadow on a mission of mercy.  A young woman lies ill, and her cure lies with a flower that grows upon your noble body.  Would you deign for a single blossom to be allowed to be given?  It is a great imposition upon yourself, and we sisters of the Dragon would be honored to serve a need of yours for daring to ask," Zokiro says, keeping to her low bow and making sure her Dragonic is as formal and precise as she can.

Re: (IC) Dragon Lands-Temple

Setsuko remained in her position of respect before the dragon, still keeping one eye on him, and still ready to react if things go badly. Glancing briefly, she also looks over towards Qing to see what the ranger might be doing.

Re: (IC) Dragon Lands-Temple

With narrowed eyes, the dragon stares at the shugenja. It howls again  and tilts its head "If it is what you want, take it." The creature raises his wings up to reveal the flower upon its back as well as other flowers as well.

Re: (IC) Dragon Lands-Temple

Awaiting a sign from either Qing or Zokiro, Setsuko remains where she is. Turning to Zokiro she whispers to her clan sister in a slightly embarrassed voice, "Lady Mirumoto, clan sister, I have yet to learn to speak the true noble tongue only to recognize it when it is spoken. Please enlighten me on the discourse between yourself and the Honored one and perhaps suggest a course of action."

Re: (IC) Dragon Lands-Temple

Zokiro quickly whispers a translation to Setsuko, "I offered humble greetings and explained our quest, offering a service for the flower if the honored dragon wished.  The honored dragon responded that if we wished the flower we should come take it."

Zokiro's expression is faintly worried as she faces the dragon.  She bows again.  "Honored One, we thank you.  I have minor magic which can pluck the flower, if you will allow."  Zokiro whispers to Setsuko, "I have magic that will let me touch and move things at a distance.  I want to go closer, out of respect, and then use the magic to pluck the flower we need."

If the dragon is amenable, Zokiro will come closer to the dragon, bow once more, and use mage hand to gently pull at the needed flower.

Re: (IC) Dragon Lands-Temple

The dragon moves forwards, about ten feet and stares at the shugenja. As she is about to cast the spell, the dragon leans back and shoots out some acid breath upon the monk, ranger and shugenja!"Die! No one take the flower!"

Setsuko is shocked by the dragon's attack and fails to avoid the acid spray from the Dragon's mouth! "Why?" she shouts in anguish

Setsuko Osagai rolled 13 using 1d20+7.  Reflex check.

Re: (IC) Dragon Lands-Temple

Zokiro is similarly shocked taking the full brunt of the dragon's acid breath! Gasping in pain, she backs away and takes the potion Setsuko had given her, trying to stave off death a little while longer.

OOC: 21:39, Today: Zokiro Mirumoto rolled 7 using 1d20+2.  Reflex save.
3/24 hp
01:45, Today: Zokiro Mirumoto rolled 14 using 1d20+1.  Initiative.
Move away
01:46, Today: Zokiro Mirumoto rolled 7 using 1d8+1.  Cure light wounds potion.
That will make my hp 10/24 if I can take it in time.

Setsuko hazards a glance towards the ranger as she quickly moves away from Zokiro and advances on the green dragon. She hurriedly drinks one of her remaining healing potions.

Re: (IC) Dragon Lands-Temple

Time seems to stand still.

The dragon does not stir as he stands there, watching the group.

Everything seeems to be moving slowly or not at all.

A portal forms above the dragon, about eight feet higher and what appears to be a man stands there, floating.

"Life and death. What does it mean to die? To live? I know what caused the boom. Would you like to know?"

"Why should we care about such things? We have many problems before us now. Who are you?" said Setsuko, awed and curious.
