Shieldwing

Shieldwing tilted his head slightly as he saw Rudrick excuse himself and dip out of the room properly. He raised his wing and nudged Stargaze's wing himself. "I'll go follow him and, uh...make sure things are okay. I'm sure Garrock won't be happy when he finds out there's probably no spiders." he murmured to the white dragonet. It wasn't a complete lie; he did want to do what he could to help this family get along a bit better. But that certainly wasn't the main reason he was going. It was just a convenient excuse for him to take off and seize this opportunity.

Without waiting for a response--not wanting to lose Rudrick who was bigger than him and thus, likely faster than him--Shieldwing spun around and stepped out of the room himself, checking for wherever the larger dragon had gone. He wasn't really familiar with the terrain or the fort layout itself quite yet, so it was imperative that he catch up with him as soon as possible to keep with him.

Still, if there was anything he was proud of, it was his athletics. Once he had Rudrick in his sight, he was confident that he'd be able to catch and keep up with him, size difference or no. If he got airborne first, though, that could be a problem....

There we go, finally got it in. My ADHD brain made that so much harder than it should have been, but finally got it done. xD

Tanrith couldn't help but notice Sarceron seeming to turn his nose up at Zyrech. It made sense, now that he thought about it. He seemed to be more nature-oriented, after all. He didn't like it when people acted so dismissively toward his companion, but it wasn't going to catch everybody's favor. He wasn't going to be able to please everybody and that was alright. He just had to shift things a little bit....

The kobold listened in as Faelee made the assumption that he was from the Mind's Eye. He contemplated correcting her for a brief moment, but ultimately decided to keep his mouth shut. If they were going to make false assumptions about why he was here, he had no reason to correct them; especially since he had already been ready with his excuse as it was. Luckily, he didn't need to confirm nor deny her words as one of the armored figures behind her spoke up again.

At the intrigue, Tanrith couldn't help but flash a grin at Vivir. The armored figure's excited tone sounded much like his own! "'Can he breathe lightning?'" the blue kobold repeated. "Watch and be amazed!~" He then nudged Zyrech a bit. He got the machine beneath him to turn to the side, pointed into an area of open air. Finally, he looked down at his mount and suddenly, he commanded down to his companion in Draconic, "Alright, Zyrech, let's go with Lightning Lure."

With his command issued, the machine's eyes began to light up. Tanrith set his claws down onto the mech dragon's head and began to channel his lightning energy through the magical metal beneath him. Zyrech's eye glow shifted into a bluish hue as he spread his legs out. Then, he reared its head back...and small bits of lightning began to crackle around the edges of his mechanical maw. Finally, his head was thrust forward...and a burst of lightning suddenly lashed out in a line that crackled out fifteen feet from his position!

Of course, since there wasn't a viable target where he aimed his attack, the lightning quickly fizzled out just as quickly as it was launched.

However, as soon as it was completed, the mechanical dragon's glow began to fade and the two turned back toward the group again. Tanrith flashed the group a grin, curious about their reaction...but especially Vivir's.

"As you can see, it's not exactly the same, but I'm still trying to figure that bit out. As for the teeth and claws...." Tanrith added, patting Zyrech on the head. "Unfortunately, I couldn't get them to produce anything stronger than, say...a longsword. But it does utilize a rend of force rather than relying on the slashing claws or piercing fangs themselves. But of course, I had to make him use his claws and fangs for that. The tail too! Have to make him attack like a real dragon would!"

He paused for a moment, taking another glance toward Sarceron. "Of course, I have to be careful. My Wylder friends wouldn't be happy with me if I accidentally damaged stuff out in the wild for no reason." he lowers his head toward the other firbolg. "Sorry if you don't like him much. But I hope you'll give him a chance."

Sorry, meant to post in the last couple of days but suddenly came down with something. Still not feeling great, but I'm getting better at least. I'll definitely have a response in soon for sure!

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

I'll try and get a post up as soon as possible. ^^"
I'm also trying to figure out what Stargaze would do.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Hah, sounds like me. If you want, I can have Shieldwing go first and that can give you something more to respond to?

Planescape: Search for Tir na Og

@rush99999 as visible as is dramatically appropriate. Which is to say ‘if it causes Drama, then yes’.

@Fading Memory

Ahhh, truly a player after my own heart in TTRPGs~ <3

Hm...so before I make my post @XxFellsingxX Tanrith has Lightning-based Cantrips in Shocking Grasp and Lightning Lure. Would it be possible for Tanrith to flavor these cantrips as being channeled through Zyrech while Tanrith is mounted or otherwise standing with/beside him? It'll still use Tanrith's modifiers and DC and such since he's the one initiating the spell, and it wouldn't alter range if they're right beside each other or if he's mounted. So it should just be a flavor-only alteration here.

If not, I'm totally fine leaving it RAW as well~

That will alter how Tanrith answers their questions~

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Ah yeah, I was going to wait and see what Stargaze does, if anything. Shieldwing isn't going to do much but excuse himself to follow Garrock, leaving the Lazward and Coryn situation to them. So if she does or says anything, that might add something to what he'd do.

"Hey, hey, it's okay, I get it!" Tanrith said, quickly raising his arms up into the air in a gesture of peace as the two continued to argue in front of him. "So you're both from here, but one of you lives here, the other left to join the Doomguard, and there's some bitterness floating around about that, I get it, it's cool!"

As the group introduced themselves, he nodded and raised to of his fingers up to his forehead, giving the armored members in the back a quick salute with a smile on his face. It seemed his initial worries didn't seem to amount to much. He had even gotten an explanation for whatever he was seeing in the water behind them. Though what this...Sarceron was saying did worry him a bit, but if the Doomguard captain lady seemed confident, he didn't have a reason to question her just yet.

Finally getting back to the topic at hand, he chuckled a bit. "Well, Faelee, Sarceron. Nice to meet ya!~" he exclaimed. He then held out both of his arms to the two of them, one for each. "The name's Tanrith. Tanrith Stormclaw. But some people might know me as-" He paused for a moment, glancing around for a moment before lowering his tone. "The Lightning Fang!" He murmured that rather lowly as though it were important to anybody but himself.

"And this here is my friend, Zyrech!" he called out. Since his arms were too busy extending themselves out to the pair, he allowed his tail to shift around, tapping the edge of the mechanical dragon beneath him. "Made him myself. My masterpiece! Say hi, Zy!"

At his command, the mech dragon lowered its head, a low rumbling emerging from within, bowing a little bit before returning to his normal stance.

"Heheh...that's the best he's got, unfortunately," Tanrith added nervously. "Never was able to figure out how to give him the ability to say anything. I mean, I could implant recordings of voices and get them to play in response to certain phrases or actions, but it wouldn't be the same...." He trailed off for a moment as though that seemed to have taken a bit of the wind from his sails for a moment. But then he sat upright again with a slight grin. "But hey, he can understand three whole languages, so that's something, right?~ And he's almost as good at fixing things as I am! Pretty cool, huh?"

Tanrith had been speaking quickly and energetically. If nothing else, he hoped that perhaps he might be able to disarm the two from their own fighting by changing the subject around a bit. Maybe if he could get them to talk about something else, he could lighten the atmosphere a bit and get them to talk about the situation with a bit less...hostility.

You can roll a history check if you like.

@XxFellsingxX

Haha, I rolled a probably not (aka a 9.)

Good to be back in a D&D campaign already~ At least it wasn't a save or an attack~ xD
