Di'Siveks: Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

Birdboy has been offline for five days now. Should I wait a little longer or should I advance the plot?

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Skobeloff

By the time the talking died down, Skobeloff looked as if he were deep in thought. "A servant of the Darkness..." Skobeloff said to no one in particular. "One that can copy voices… one that uses pain to let the Darkness in… one that likes going after people all by themselves, is strong enough to beat a bearded dragon, and knocks anyone it attacks out cold for days." Skobeloff looked up at the others, a sly grin on his face. "And I know how to fight it! Even though it’s strong enough to take on the biggest dragons, it’s really cowardly and only goes after someone who’s alone. It won’t touch you if you stick with others. But the best part? I know how we can actually go on the attack against this thing!"

OOC

Skobeloff uses Fogdance's failure to overcome whatever she encountered to fuel a round of the Long Game. He rolls a 13 and chooses to create an opportunity and hide himself and the others from whatever attacked Fogdance.

Just so you know, there is a small formatting error at the very top of your post.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Given how he has managed to get his claws on a couple of magical items throughout chapter 1 alone, I can definitely see Skobeloff getting access to an army of raccoons. Heck, given his knowledge of fae, I can even see them being an army of tanuki.

Seeing how one of the upgrades the Long Game has would allow Skobeloff to summon allies, this happening is simply a question of whether I want it now or when Skobeloff becomes a winged drake.

Skobeloff: If I can't cause tiny bits of chaos every day, I think my body will shut down.

Skobeloff

"You did really well, Fogdance. Talking about all this... probably wasn’t exactly fun for you." Skobeloff said once Fogdance had finished speaking. But because of that, I think we’ve figured out the mystery about your run-in with the Darkness. When you went looking for Kyte... you found something else instead. Something shady and sneaky. Something that uses pain to let the Darkness slip in. Something we’re definitely gonna have to watch out for. But... how do we stop it?

There are many reasons dragons mark Shadows. You may have to mark a Shadow because you got physically hurt

@XxFellsingxX

Would being hurt mentally or emotionally also call for making Shadows?

Also, on the subject of trauma, let me share with you this gem I got when messing around with the Incorrect Quote Generator a while ago. I got a few, but this was probably my favourite:

Fellwing: We call that a traumatic experience.
Fellwing, turning to Shieldwing: Not a "bruh moment".
Fellwing, turning to Stargaze: Not "sadge".
Fellwing, turning to Skobeloff: And DEFINITELY not an "oof LMAO".

@XxFellsingxX

Tamba: What if people had food names and food had people names?
Fogdance: Hey, spaghetti, we’re having Tamba for dinner.
Pleexem: What is wrong with you people?
Skobeloff: Shut up, chocolate.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

This is going to be an interesting thing to answer, as I wasn't expecting you to study either of these two at this point in time xP

@XxFellsingxX

Did you really think I would allow you to gloss over the twins' presence in the scene? Let you just have them fade into the background? Guess again! Nothing escapes my omniscient gaze!

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Skobeloff

Skobeloff sat in silence and listened as Fogdance told her story. The tragic nature of the tale was quick to wipe the smile from his face once more. He knew all too well that some eggs simply didn't hatch. Skobeloff forced those memories back into the dark recesses from which they had reared their heads and continued to listen as Fogdance spoke of the two that did survive. Hopa and Aziri. the names were vaguely familiar, but Skobeloff found himself unable to attach faces to them. He likely heard their names in passing or passed by them at some point, but it probably wasn't a very distinct encounter to him. At very least, Skobeloff was fairly certain that neither of them were in House Myndoth.

Then Fogdance revealed the reason why she had sworn the drakes to silence before speaking on this.

The occasional Orphan or Rebel was one thing. As was the odd reservation regarding how things were run on the Moonlit Isles. Skobeloff was no stranger to such things, having become clutchmates with Stargaze, who was herself an Orphan. But an entire clutch raised away from the Houses? That sort of daring was rare enough to be practically unheard of. Regardless, Skobeloff gave no indication that he thought less of Fogdance because of her actions. When she paused for a moment after stating that her plan to raise a Houseless clutch in secret didn't pan out any batter than he first attempt at having children, Skobeloff gave Fogdance a warm smile. "I know this has gotta be hard to say, but you're doing great." He said reassuringly. "Take your time. Start talking again whenever you feel ready. We can wait."

As he waited, Skobeloff took a moment to glance over at the twins to see how they were reacting to things. They had been just as quiet during Fogdance's explanation as Skobeloff had been, so hopefully they were taking it as well as he was.

OOC

Skobeloff studies Tamba and Pleexem. He rolls a 13 and learns who they are holding a grudge against and what they are hoarding.

@XxFellsingxX
Would Skobeloff know how much trouble a dragon could get in for having a clutch of eggs with a dragon outside of their affinity clutch and raising the resulting drakes away from the Houses?
