Bleh, intelligence checks... not my forte.

Not bad all things considered. It's double digits at least. Blue dragonborn are lightning elements right? Presumably Orchid is eventually in a position to see and hear him from the keep.

Yes, blue dragons are creatures of lightning as has been demonstrated.

As for the check... well, you have succeeded and I am assuming Orchid would share this information with the rest. This is no dragonborn. This is a bona fide half-dragon. A rarer sort, but also more powerful. Where Dragonborn have draconic heritage somewhere in the family, a Half-Dragon is a direct offspring of a shapeshifted dragon... and even then it only happens sometimes. This is how they naturally come to be anyhow. There are rumours of other ways, but those Orchid does not know of.
