Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

I was unable to think of one.

If you want, I can have you hold on to that question for the next time you want to study Fellwing.

Pokemon: Dream

Jill Brookes

As her ploy fails and the drowsiness started to overtake Aster, anyone would note the Aipom's attitude towards this fight take a sudden turn from playful to frustrated. Her eyelids droop and her body starts to feel heavy, and she has to keep angrily shaking herself as she tries to focus on her opponent. Everything else around her seems to lose importance, all she cares about is giving the sleepy Pokemon a piece of her mind. Aster charges forward as fast as her tired body can must and attempts to lay several scratches on the Slakoth.

While this happening, Jill's previously laid back demeanor did shift as she visibly winced. She knew Aster well enough that she wasn't about to take this situation lying down. Had they not been in a battle, she would have intervened immediately to stop her Pokemon from attacking. However, given the situation, she had a feeling that that wouldn't be acceptable here. Instead, she shot Nevine an apologetic look.

Redwing: My boy. *sniff* I'm so proud.

@rush99999

Come to think of it, half of Skobeloff's parents decided to give the middle finger to dragon society, albeit for very different reasons.

So really it was never a question of if Skobeloff would cause a revolution, it was just a matter of when.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Skobeloff: That's a nice society you have there.
Skobeloff: Be a shame if something happened to it.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

The next step--- uh, revolution, I guess?

@Vertigo

Oh god.

Well, I didn't expect complete political upheaval this early in the roleplay, but I guess that just makes me the fool.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Vipereyes: We made an oopsie.
Fellwing: Oopsie? You wiped out an entire species!
Vipereyes: ... we made a big oopsie.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

There was a long pause at Fellwing's question, as several dragons in the party suddenly seemed to stop whatever they were doing to look in the black drake's direction. It wasn't quite the same silence that would have occurred had someone brought up, say, Yeraktos, or some similar event that happened during the Age of Darkness. Even several generations later, with no dragons alive to remember those days, the wounds from that time felt fresh in the memory of dragonkind. But this... this was a much older scar, one that had faded enough that most had forgotten it was still there.

"Well, that was a long time ago," Vipereyes said. She didn't sound angry or upset, only slightly puzzled that the conversation had taken this particular shift. "You have to understand that that was before the Darkness, before the Houses even. Dragon society was practically in its infancy, and we didn't understand a lot of the things we do now. In fact, it's down to things like the extinction of the unicorns that the Houses and the Council were founded in the first place: to prevent things like that from occurring again. She squinted over at Fellwing, regarding her with a wary curiosity. "You're from House Kebros, correct? I'd assumed your elders would instill in you the value of mistakes, and how we can only grow by making them." Unlike many comments the Seer might have heard about her House, there didn't seem to be any malice in what Vipereyes was saying. She sounded more confused by the idea of a dragon from the House of Ruby being opposed to her values.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Not sure how to do the video displays but found this YouTube short.

Kinda fits with this campaign idea I think.

@Lurking Krog

Funnily enough, someone actually made a module called "Adventures in ADHD" based on this exact prompt. Here's a link to it on itch io if anyone is interested. It looks pretty fun.

... though I think after this campaign, our party is going to be just absolutely done with the fey and their nonsense. xD

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Before I post what is going to be a very... interesting response to Fellwing's question, does anyone have anything they want to add?

Also, after this response, do you think the conversation is going to continue or would you guys like to move on to the group heading to the Capitol?

The Clowns of Valerith

Arthek Yarnspin

As Arthek listened intently to Doctor's words, his eyes were drifting over each of his companions as he took in their expressions and body language during this exposition dump. Obviously, he couldn't put this scene in his next novel - thanks again, Grimi's eldrich benefactor - but he found it was always important to keep a read on your characters, to know what they were doing and thinking even when the reader wasn't privy to that information. It kept things consistent between scenes.

His eyes lingered on Iota in particular as she effortlessly took charge of the questioning, seeming to have gleaned some of this information already at an earlier point. That didn't surprise him so much. What did surprise him was how no one seemed to object to her presence here, not even Grimi who historically was not one to trust so easily.

However, even as the water genasi was asking all the right questions, there was one thing that was bothering the writer about the Doctor's explanation. "Excuse me," Arthek interjected with a raised hand. "Not to slow down the narrative or anything, but err, one thing is bothering me." He pointed to the doctor. "If this stone is indeed what you claim, how did you come to realise its true nature? And if you could figure it out, how come no one else has?" He paused before quickly adding. "Sorry, just, err, bit of a plot hole that I would like to have, err, filled as soon as possible."
