1, unless that horse is Pegasus, which I really ought to know already.

>>8029928
taking into mind that the horse is pounding at the ground, I doubt it's Pegasus.

Question...

I'm a dragon, so I'm wise and I can fly and breathe fire and stuff... Why am I too retarded to make myself a weapon? I could smelt the iron with my breath and hammer it with a rock against a mountainside.

Survival of the fittest says I'm about to get extincted.

>>8029986
Last time I checked, dragons inherently have more weapons than most knights.

>dragon

Whatever happens, we yell "FUCK YOU I'M A DRAGON" as we do it.

>>8029998
Knight vs dragon with claws, teeth, tail, firebreath, wings, and thick scales, or knight vs a dragon with all that and a 500 ft long spiked iron chain. Which dragon is more likely to survive?

>>8029986
perhaps you'll get that choice later on.
for now, pick between what was offered
option #1 seems to be the closest to consensus

>>8030018
see
>>8030013

>>8030040
I see.

1 is the wisest choiche. Air Superiority...

Alright, going with #1

You leap to the air, deftly avoiding the knight's thrust. Now that you are in the air, he hardly poses any threat at all--not that he ever posed much of one to you. You circle back and knock him off his horse with a swipe of your claw.

Do you finish him off, victorious dragon?

1) Of course! How dare he attack me?

2) I let him live to warn others of my immense power.

3) Eh. Now that the threat is ended, he is beneath my concern.

OP, this is a bad time for quests. For one, I, (and probably some other people) am typing with one hand, not because I'm fapping, but because I'm eating breakfast with the other. If you could start this quest 8-12 hours from now, you'd hit the sweetspot for quest-an.

As it is, there aren't a whole hell of a lot of anons on line right now.

>>8030103
4) Ask him why (s)he's after me.

>>8030103
4) Ask the knight why it's trying to kill me. (and failing.)

4) Ask the knight why it's trying to kill me, while he is under my poderous claws.

>>8030103
FUCKING BURN HIM. VICTORY SMELLS LIKE SEARED FLESH AND MOLTEN IRON!

But first check to ensure he was, in fact, alone. Target fixation can be a killer.

>>8030103

2- "damn kid, go be a hero somewhere else, I sold the princess to mindflayers five years ago"

>>8030110>>8030116
Whoop. Sorry. Single poster. First one was warning me of flood report, so I assumed it hadn't actually been posted.

>>8030108
Sorry, I have to be in Charmander Quest all day today, so I wouldn't be available for it later. Besides, all the boards are usually slow in the morning, so I figured this would give /tg/ some entertainment until things start picking up.

>>8030110
>>8030116
>>8030124
There is no Option 4 - I don't make the options, the site linked in the OP did.

5) Entice him to peace with beer, and nubile women

then 2), while mocking him for his weakness.

#2 it is

"Begone, petty human. To attack me is to meet your doom," you growl.

The knight stumbles away as quickly as he can, not even daring to pretend that he could still fight you.

You know, it's going to get annoying to keep calling you "great and mighty dragon." What is your name?

1) Gorthalon.

2) Sssetheliss.

3) Calemvir.

4) These names are all terrible!

4, my name is Jeremy Smith.

2)

>>8030242
Grougaloragran?

>>8030313
This

Alright, going with #4

Your name is Grougaloragran

Will you be male or female?

1) Male.

2) Female.

3) Neither.

4) Unknown/undetermined.

5) Do not pester me with impudent questions!

>>8030242

Should have gone with the epic pelvic thrust, dammit.

By the way, all of those names need more consonants. Like 10-20 more. Also random apostrophes.

>>8030380

6. I'm afraid to find out why it could possibly matter.

>>8030380

>>8030380
Male. Grougaloragan refuses to be anything other than an epitome of masculinity!

Fine, 1. Next.

Male it is

As you think about it, the knight's attack was probably inevitable. After all, you did just kidnap the princess from right out of her tower. Although . . .

Isn't it a little sexist to always kidnap princesses?

1) Maybe, but tradition demands that dragons kidnap princesses, even if that is sexist.

2) You dare question my actions?

3) You know, I never thought about that before. In fact, I think I kidnapped a prince, just to avoid being sexist.

4) I'll have you know that I make a careful point of alternating between princes and princesses, but it happened to be time for a princess.

Going with #2

No, no! Of course not. I just wanted to--I mean-- What I'm trying to say is . . .

Let's just move on.

Anyway, as you ripped the roof off her tower, the light glistened off your . . .

Ah, would you like to specify the color of your hide? I wasn't sure which color to put in that description.

1) Can we just get on to the smashing?

2) Black

3) Red

4) Blue

5) Green

6) White

7) Brown

8) Gold

9) Iridescent

>>8030662
7, for nothing else can properly represent the majesty that is Grougaloragran!

Brown it is

Wonderful choice. So the light glistened off your brown hide, as you snatched the princess out of her tower.

While we're on the subject, let's settle a few other details. How many limbs will you have, not counting your wings or tail?

1) Four

2) Five

3) Six

4) Eight

>>8030780
Choice 1, meaning four legs.

>>8030780
Four

alright, going with 4 legs

Hmm. Is the top of your head ridged or smooth?

1) Ridged.

2) Smooth.

>>8030900
Smooth.

>>8030900

Ridged. For her pleasure.

>>8030900
Smooth

>>8030903
>>8030921

Going for smooth, since there don't seem to be many people here yet.

I see. And your wings--leathery or scaly?

1) Leathery

2) Scaly

>>8030968
Leathery

This is ALL WRONG. My body is black, my wings are sheets of plasma, and I've no interest in princesses for I've yet to avenge my genocided race.

>>8030968

Scaley

>>8030968
Leathery.

bump for a consensus

>>8031086
Leathery. Grougaloragran will accept no less!

... you realize that the aesthetic questions are irrelevant, and put there just to showcase the syntax of their web language, right?

Nice viral marketing, by the way.

But at least the game is fun.

>>8031113
I agree, but it's what the site asks us, so I'm going with it. It was the last aesthetic question anyway. And no, I'm not a viral marketer - a friend showed this to me and I had a lot of fun playing it, so I figured some of my fellow smar/tg/uys would enjoy it too.

>>8031112
>>8031085
>>8030972
Leathery it is.

As you kidnapped the princess, you beat your leathery brown wings and flew off into the night, as she clutched tightly to your smooth scalp to avoid plummeting to her doom.

What are you planning on doing with the princess, anyway?

1) It's all about companionship and good conversation.

2) I'll keep her around for a little while to lure in more knights, but then she's dinner. It's a little known fact that princesses taste better than most humans.

3) It's all about the ransom payments. Those are a quick and easy way to build a hoard.

>>8031167

Conversation. He's hoping that some nobleborn will have some interesting intellectual topics in store.

>>8031167

Conversation. Ask her about knitting.

>>8031185
>>8031218
Going with Conversation then

Life can be lonely as a dragon, and interesting conversation is at a premium. The elite upbringing of royalty makes them more suitable for entertaining dragons.

But what do you do after you tire of her conversation?

1) Then it's time for a royal feast--by which I mean I eat her.

2) I let her slip away, pretending not to notice her escape plan.

>>8031341

Let her go. It would make a good gesture on his part.

Besides, he's not a savage.

>>8031341
Brainwash her into my haremgirl.

bump for more answers.

>>8031363
>>8031369
A princess who was secretly loyal to us would be a useful pawn to help get us a hoard. . . .

>>8031369
Haremgirls are =3 (sorry 'bout the watermark)

>>8031479
>>8031469
>>8031363
#2 it is

The princess becomes gradually more fearful as her stories, harp-playing, and singing amuse you less each passing day. One evening, as you pretend to sleep, she makes a break for it. You are well aware of her departure and could catch her easily, but you let her go. She made several months more interesting, and that's worth sparing her life.

(continued in next post)

>>8031531
This would be a good time to talk a little more about your personality.

All dragons can be described in terms of a handful of characteristics, each in opposed pairs: Brutality and Finesse, Cunning and Honor, Disdain and Vigilance.

Are you more notable for your Brutality or your Finesse?

1) Brutality: strength and cruelty.

2) Finesse: precision and aerial maneuverability.

Single bump for a decision
If nobody's interested anymore, I'll let it die.

>>8031576
Finesse

>>8031702
Do you have more Cunning or Honor?

>>8031790
honor

>>8031790
Cunning and Vigilance

Should be an interesting mix.

>>8031809
As much as I like the sound of an Honorable dragon, we should be sly, cunning, resourceful. We must protect our-self first, and then others.

>>8031790
HONOR!

>>8031849
>>8031809
Going with Honor

Do you disdain threats and insults that are beneath you, or are you vigilant against any slight or transgression?

1) Disdain: patience and scorn.

2) Vigilance: attention and impulsiveness.

>>8031965
Disdain. Patience is our virtue - we will ignore those beneath us.

>>8032002
Now we're going to view some flashbacks to your days as a wyrmling.

As a young hatchling, you lived with your mother in a cave high up on a mountain. Your mother had a vast hoard of treasure and a varied hunting range. Some of your siblings chose to spend much of their time reading the rare codices and scrolls your mother had collected. Other siblings spent their time hunting dangerous game and brawling with each other. Which pursuit did you prefer?

1) Reading

2) Hunting

>>8032125
OMGSOCUTE

>>8032166
"Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and screaming..."

>>8032125
Reading. We are a tome of knowledge.

>>8032281
A wise choice that made you more Cunning and taught you Finesse.

As you reached maturity, you began to threaten your mother's dominance over her territory. Before you could possibly have bested her in a direct confrontation, she threw you out of her lair and drove you from the lands in which you grew up, leaving you to fend for yourself without any resources beyond your claws, wings, and teeth.

Did you seek revenge on her by turning some of the humans in her lands against her, or did you consider petty revenge beneath you?

1) I sought revenge.

2) Revenge is beneath my dignity.

>>8032342
Revenge is beneath my dignity. I am a proud flying, fire-breathing lizard.

>>8032363
Yeah. Why seek revenge on mother anyway? She was only doing what she had to.

>>8032363
>>8032399
Disdain for petty matters is essential for a dragon, as it avoids the pointless feuds that weaken you and allow your enemies to achieve great goals.

Manipulating peasants is also not the most honorable of activities for a mighty dragon such as yourself.

Your wise choice increases Disdain and Honor.
---------------------------------------

Be back in 30 minutes - need to get some lunch. Until then, dragon pic thread dump!

>>8032491
back

Although I'm somewhat uncertain if anyone wants to continue. Consider this the last bump unless somebody else replies.

im up for this quest

>>8033239
I'm up for it, but I think you should stop following whatever site you are using and just freeform it and have some fun. Everyone on /tg/ wants to be the massive dragon.

>>8033239
Do continue.

I'm waiting around to launch my own thing, and I'm interesting in seeing where this is going.

>>8033279
Sorry, I haven't had any preparation for a free-form quest, and the site's version is fairly good without my editing. Perhaps after this people will be inspired to start their own Dragon Quests. I know I'd be interested in joining that.

>>8033259
>>8033279
>>8033281
>>8033287
Alright, continuing

After several days of flight, you came across a tiny halfling travelling through the desert. Even from afar, your keen eyes detected the glint of gold and the sparkle of magic. This halfling has some sort of magic golden shield strapped to his tiny back.

You knew immediately that this treasure must be yours.

The halfling was far from civilization and would almost surely die soon of thirst and starvation. For the moment, he seemed to be protected by the power of the shield.

Did you kill him on the spot, ignoring his magical protections, or did you hover nearby and wait for the halfling to die, knowing that you might lose the treasure?

1) I waited for him to die.

2) I killed him on the spot.

>>8033343
WAIT, MAH BOI

>>8033343
Wait for him to die. Patience is our virtue.

>>8033369
>>8033396

There's no reason you have to do all the dirty work yourself. A few hours later, the halfling stumbled, crawled for a while, and finally stopped. You easily plucked the treasure off of his body, saving yourself quite a bit of work.

Disdain and Finesse increase.

(continued in next post)

>>8033491
One of your elder clutchmates was an overbearing brute named Axilmeus. Axilmeus loved to torment the others, always seeking to seize what did not belong to him.

"Grougaloragran," he said with a menacing grin, "give me that golden shield, or I will beat you within an inch of your life."

1) I gave him the shield to avoid a fight.

2) I dueled him for the shield.

3) I evaded him and hid the shield.

>>8029909
>Implying I am a dragon
Bullshit, I'm not...
oh, wait. Fuck.

Alright, an hero, let's do this

>>8033519

3, you clever dragon you.

>>8033519
I vote three if you are still here.

>>8033566
>>8033675
Cunning and Finesse increase.

Unfortunately, Axilmeus is your elder; at this age, he has the advantage in maneuverability. He caught up to you quickly, pinning you to the ground and prying the shield out of your claws.

Then he crushed the shield in his jaws, wasting the magical energies imbued within it, and spit it out at your feet. He laughed with a great roar as he flew away.

(continued)

>>8033519
3, take it and run

>>8033737
You have the following stats:

8% Brutality vs. 92% Finesse

36% Cunning vs. 64% Honor

90% Disdain vs. 10% Vigilance

Infamy: 52%

Wealth: 5000 gold coins

>>8033755
You spend several weeks winging your way across the land. Life as a traveling dragon has much to recommend it--the freedom of the air, the thrill of the hunt, and plentiful sight-seeing opportunities.

On one particular night, sleeping peacefully under the stars, you awake to find yourself under attack. A gigantic elder dragon towers before you, whipping you hard with its tail. It must be at least four times your size!

"Whelp! How dare you sleep on my lands?"

1) Apologize.

2) Act tough.

3) Plead ignorance.

4) Fight back.

5) Play nice.

>>8033777
5. Play nice

>>8033821
The elder dragon treats you with enviable Disdain. It soundly beats you out of its territory.

"Find your own lair!" it chortles.

Despite the advantages, it seems that homelessness has some rather severe downsides. After all, you have nowhere to store your treasure hoard!

(continued)

>>8033931
A few days later, as you fly along, you see a large hill rising up from the land around it. Forests cover the lower slopes of the hill, giving way to grassy fields and then a rocky crag at the top of the hill. A large cave mouth opens into the promontory.

While you would have to check it out more carefully to be certain, you believe that the hill contains a fairly extensive cave complex. Plenty of game runs through the forest, with herds of sheep and even cattle in some of the valleys a short flight away. Looking beyond the immediate environs, several human villages and towns are well within a day's flight, offering the promise of easy pillaging to come, but none are close enough to make harassment and annoyance likely. In short, it appears to be a perfect lair.

(continued)

>>8033965
As you fly down to claim your new lair, you spot a group of small, mostly bald, orange-skinned humanoids outside the cave. They look up and point at you in terror and alarm. Some of them flee into the cave, while others bravely shake crude, ineffectual spears at you.

"Don't eat me!" jabbers one of the goblins. "Eat Grubsh! He's got meat on him!"

The goblin who spoke pushes forward one of the other goblins with the butt of his spear. The other goblin, presumably Grubsh, drops his spear as he shakes in front of you.

How cute.

What do you do?

1) Scare them off

2) Slaughter them all

>>8034008
Scare them off.

>>8034008
scare

>>8034016
>>8034081
A mighty roar and a puff of smoke and fire are more than sufficient to scatter them. Almost no exertion, and they are gone. What's more, as you follow them into the cave, you find that they are quickly proffering food before you.

It can be good to have respectful minions.

Disdain and Finesse increase.

(continued)

>>8034141
The cave complex within the hill is everything you hoped for: it's defensible, spacious enough for a good hoard, and full of those greasy little goblins, who quickly acknowledge you as their eternal sovereign and overlord.

They give you the best of their treasure and the finest of their foods. Well, almost the finest. They burn the very best of their foods on a crude altar to their primitive goblin god. How do you react to that?

1) It is good for them to serve their god, as best they can.

2) As long as they're loyal to me, I don't care if they worship a unicorn covered with polka dots.

3) I should be the focus of all of their attention, not some stupid god!

>>8034172
2. Lets not disturb their rituals.

>>8034172
2. what they burn is but a mouthful. as long as they leave our hoard alone we're cool.

>>8034172
As a firm suporter of our Silver horned polkadoted lord, I choose 2

>>8034188
>>8034213
The offerings are inconsequential, and you can ignore them easily. By tolerating their religion, you also secure the unswerving loyalty of the goblin shaman. Good job.

Disdain increases.

The goblins obey your every command, sometimes even anticipating your desires. They may be stupid, crude, and savage minions, but at least they're your stupid, crude, and savage minions.

Life is good.

>>8034274
wow. wonderful lulz. good job sir. +1 internets

>>8034287
A few days later, you hear the sound of squabbling from one of the other chambers. You poke your snout in and see that a rudimentary pit has been arranged and some of the lowest status goblins are being made to battle for the amusement of the chieftain (now your lieutenant). The fighting is savage, and it's clear that the losers will die.

1) They do not have my permission to waste their lives. This must stop!

2) It is well that they should fight for my amusement. Bring me some refreshments!

3) What the goblins do is beneath my notice, as long as they are ready to serve me.

>>8034309
3. just as long as lieutenant doesnt get cocky with his authority. otherwise HE will be burnt in offering to the Gods.

You rush into the chamber and turn on your lieutenant. "How dare you fritter away the lives of my minions for your entertainment!"

The former chieftain cowers. "I'm sorry, great and mighty dragon. We meant no offense, but our traditions demand that young goblins see bloodshed to learn bravery."

You smile cruelly. "You want them to see bloodshed?"

You finish chewing up the former goblin chieftain. He is a little gristly, but nicely marbled. The former underchief, your new lieutenant, begs for his life and assures you that the goblins will henceforth only ever fight when you will it. You do not know if he will be a more acceptable lieutenant than his predecessor, but you decide that he will have a chance to prove himself.

Vigilance increases, Brutality decreases.

(continued)

>>8034519
You look down from your lair at the lands beyond your mountain. Those green lands are full of humans, and humans have large reserves of livestock and rich treasure. Shouldn't that food and wealth be yours instead?

1) It certainly should, and now!

2) You mean it isn't already?

>>8034616
>>8034663
>>8034773
Sorry about that. Going with #1

That's what I thought. Let's be clear about why you plan on conquering the humans. What's most important to you?

1) I need to ensure a steady supply of prey.

2) I need an easy supply of princes and princesses to kidnap. I'm a stickler for tradition.

3) I need heaping great piles of gold and loot to adorn my lair.

4) I want to make humans into my terrified subjects.

>>8035784
2.
The goblins are nice and all, but they don't make for great conversation

>>8035784
2

>>8035784
We keep in mind that all we do is to increase our personal power and our hoard.
So 2 and 3 are viable options as we can brainwash princess into our faithful lackeys - as for gold - the more we have, the better - also we should focus on aquairing some magical stuff

Number two

>>8036243
>>8036242
>>8036212
>>8036181
What's a lair without a captive royal to chat with? Besides, kidnapping royalty brings knights in shining armor, and they're always particularly tasty. You push off from your rocky spire and glide outwards on the wind. You smell the faint scent of human cooking fires. Where to start?

1) Conquer the nearby village.

2) Fly directly to a big city and confront the human queen there.

3) Head to the mountain pass used by all the merchants.

4) Send one of my goblin minions to announce my new rule to the queen of the neighboring realm.

>>8036283
2.
Try to be polite though
Don't think of it as kidnapping
Think of it as a summer abroad, under the tutelage of on the worlds greatest minds

>>8036283
First we shoud do is to gather knowledge about our realm - small village is a good begining - but we do not raze to the ground - instead we should just take control of it, and ensure villagers cooperation with some demonstration of our abilities

>>8036467
forgot the number - 1 of course

>>8036322
Since there doesn't seem to be any objections, #2 it is

It doesn't take long before you are circling over their puny city; it would burn beautifully, and you could smash it into flinders, but it's full of wealth. You can smell the treasure from here. You settle heavily in the main plaza in front of the palace. As you land, your tail idly destroys the ancient statue of some dead king.

"Send out your queen!" you roar. People flee from the sound of your voice. "I demand to talk to her. Send her out, or I'll rip apart the castle piece by piece and then eat her once I'm done. NOW!"

Someone screams. You see worried courtiers staring at you from around the door to the palace, then hastily ducking back inside. From behind, the sound of a horse distracts you. You smell weapon oil and metal.

"Avaunt, foul beast!" challenges a human encased in metal armor. He carries a long lance with a pennant flying from it. "I am Sir Rodegard, knight of--"

Are you going to put up with that?

1) Let him finish his speech.

2) Eat him now.

>>8036557
1.
Wait for him to finish, and then ask him why he bothered to recite his lineage to a gigantic fire breathing lizard that was threatening to rip a castle apart instead of,
you know,
attacking

>>8036557
as i see it we just shifted from cunning to brutality ..

and let him finish his speech

>>8036557

I tought that we just left our mother lair - and are juvenile - young adult at best - so what are our abilities?
do we posses some sort of fancy racial abilities beside beatch weapon? maybe some sort of innite spellcasting?
can you estimate our phisical power?
as i remember we read a lot during our childhood - did we learn some wizard tricks (which we should if we are so cunning and power-thirsty)?

>>8036650

". . . knight of our Royal Highness, her graceful majesty Queen Juliet, long may she reign over--"

1) He's really boring. Eat him instead.

2) No, I let him finish.

It's not like we've got anything better to do

>>8036772

sorry - i missed the link in your first post and tought that you dming this adventure

2 Let him finish, if only to make it more hilarious when we eat him anyway.

>>8036793
>>8037030
". . . us all. I am her sworn protector. I challenge you, beast, and I shall skin your dead body to make my next shield." He spurs his warhorse towards you.

How do you plan to fight him?

1) Take to the air to fight.

2) Stay on the ground to fight.

>>8037116
Taking to the air seemed to work last time

>>8037116
light his goddamn warhorse on fire as we take to the skies.

then light him on fire. Then light his burning corpse on fire. Then find his family home and light it on fire.

>>8037142
>>8037167
Your wings beat the air and you rise upwards out of the reach of his lance. He seems a bit bewildered by this simple tactic. He reins his horse to a halt and cries upwards, "Come down and fight honorably!" Instead, you breathe fire on him. He's still alive as his horse catches fire beneath him, but not for long. You're picking your teeth with the cooling remains of his lance when the queen cautiously pokes her head out from around the palace doors, sighs, and emerges out into the courtyard.

Mustering whatever dignity she can, the human queen steps outside the doors to her palace. You can smell her fear, and her courtiers beg her not to, but she emerges to meet you with what passes for human courage. You smile, a terrible sight.

"Beast?" she asks in a remarkably steady voice. "I am Queen Juliet. We have not offended you. What is it you want with us?"

What do you do?

1) Eat her.

2) Command the queen to surrender her kingdom.

>>8037343

3) Fuck her.

>>8037343
An alliance!

>>8037343

3) Continue your mighty blood line using her as your mate.

>>8037343

Let us fuck!

3) Just for the sake of it.

>>8037786
>>8037763
>>8037697
>>8037612
There is no option 3
Please pick from the choices given to you.

>>8037813

2) Then, after we get the kingdom we can feast on virgins and maidens all we want :3

>>8037848
2, ALLIANCE!

>>8037848
>>8038047
How do you want to command the queen?

1) Brutally.

2) Cleverly.

>>8038068
2. Clever!

>>8038068
With clever brutality.

>>8038068
If I said Brutal, then do I get hot Queen Dickings?

If I said Cleverly do I get hot Queen Romances?

>>8038068
Cleverly

>>8038068

"Dearest queen," you croon, "I am not without mercy. I am able to kill you and everyone you protect. Alternately, I could decimate your kingdom; your few remaining subjects would kill you themselves for betraying them to a fearsome dragon. I have a better idea, however. In exchange for a somewhat burdensome amount of treasure, I will rule you from afar. You will become MY kingdom, and my subjects, and in return for your obedience and tribute I will protect you. What say you?"

The soon to be ex-queen's eyes are bulging. "Great dragon," she stutters, "that is a very kind and gracious offer. We would be blessed to have as mighty a protector such as you. May we have some time to decide?"

1) Give her some time.

2) No, she must decide now.

>>8038141
1. We're a fucking dragon
we have all the time in the world

>>8038141
Give her time, you have it in abundance.

>>8038141
>>8038174
I say we give her some time. But if she tries anything funny, we RIP AND TEAR HER GUTS.

>>8038203
So number one

>>8038174
>>8038185
>>8038203
>>8038212
"Of course," you say. "This must be a very difficult decision for you. You may have five minutes."

"Five minutes?" She sounds shocked. "But that is hardly enough time to--"

"To betray me and summon your knights? To smuggle out the best of your riches? I agree. You have a choice, Queen. You can die, or live; you can lose your kingdom or give it the most powerful protector imaginable. It will only cost you wealth and your pride. What do you choose?"

"Yes, O mighty dragon. I will accept you as my ruler, and perhaps through me you will administer to your new kingdom." She raises her voice to anyone who can hear.

"Kneel before your new sovereign, O people!" she shouts. "Behold the dragon ruler, Grougaloragran!"

You depart clutching the first of your tribute in your claws, exceptionally pleased with how the day has gone. You'll have to wait for treachery, of course, but you have a good feeling about this. You've never owned a kingdom before.

Finesse increases; Infamy decreases.

(continued)

>>8038279
You rule over your territory for several uneventful years before your goblin minions begin to report some disturbing news. They have seen another dragon raiding within your territory, seizing tribute that ought to be yours, and eating your prey. Based on their description, you realize that the dragon is none other than your elder clutchmate, Axilmeus.

Axilmeus was always an overbearing brute, seeking to seize what did not belong to him. (You may recall what he did to your golden shield.)

What do you do about Axilmeus's incursion into your domain?

1) This is intolerable. Axilmeus must be destroyed!

2) Another dragon on the far reaches of my territory is not worth a response.

> Ask the dragon if I can have his daughter as a concubine for my son.

>>8038386
Not until you tell me why my Grandpa had to die of lung cancer, you cold-hearted bastard.

>>8038318
He isnt going to stop until he takes everything we have.
KILL THE FUCK OUT OF HIM

>>8029909
I just got here and I won't read all this shit.
I'll use the secret 4º option: DRAGON'S BREATH the motherfucker.

>>8038318
Clearly he must be destroyed.

>>8038551
>>8038518
>>8038484
How dare he enter your territory? His effrontery leaves you no choice.

Vigilance increases.

Your rapid response also prevents him from taking some of your tribute.

Wealth increases.

As your elder clutchmate, Axilmeus is a foe worthy of respect.

How do you plan to defeat him?

1) Wait for him to come to me. He'll need to, eventually, and I'll have the advantage.

2) Set up an ambush for him.

3) Confront him in the air, relying on my superior aerial maneuver skills.

4) Just head in his general direction and beat him into the ground like the cur he is.

5) Trick Axilmeus into fighting one of my enemies.

6) Bribe him to leave my territory and never return.

Either ambush him or trick him

>>8038677
And then: RAEP TYME

>>8038586

I don't know if it's possible to fail in this "campaign" but it seems like we've done good so far. That said, he's still our elder, and so could be prepared for an ambush or sneakiness coming from us.

Since our quick reaction may catch him off guard, taking him in the air will probably be our best bet. It's best we show him who's boss physically lest others think that we're wimpy.

We can go back to beguiling later. 3

>>8038586
As our elder, Axilmeus is no doubt larger than we are, but no so much so that he could not be dealt with if he were first weakened. Let's have one of our foes do the weakening for us.

>>8038767
You do have a point. Number three then.
Then raep.

>>8038823
>>8038767
You fly out in the direction of Axilmeus. You see him flying a long distance off and circle carefully into a better position. You climb higher and higher, positioning yourself between the sun and Axilmeus. You then fly at him.

Because you are flying directly out of the sun, Axilmeus doesn't see you until you are nearly upon him. He tries to maneuver, but you slam into his back before he can adjust his position. The impact breaks one of his wings, and he falls to the ground in your claws.

Finesse and Honor increase.

You have defeated Axilmeus. He is still alive, but you have beaten him and he will be unable to offer serious resistance. What do you do with him now?

1) Axilmeus is too great a threat to leave alive, but he is worthy of a quick and painless death.

2) Like a cat playing with a mouse, I will make Axilmeus suffer before he dies.

3) Axilmeus must leave my territory, never to return, but he can live.

>>8038909
RAPE HIM
WE DEMAND SATISFACTION AT HIS EXPENSE

>>8038909
1. HONOR

>>8038909
Even with only one wing a dragon of his size is dangerous. Make it quick.

>>8039001
>>8039002
Make it quick? He wouldnt do the same for us.

>>8038909

I kinda want to rub it in his face after what he did before, and as Vaal said, he wouldn't do the same for us, but we're dragons. Human logic need not apply.

1. Toast him fast before he can regain his strength and/or stage revenge against us.

>>8039115
>>8039002
>>8039001
You snap Axilmeus's neck, killing him instantly. He fought well and was a worthy fellow dragon.

Honor increases and Brutality decreases.

(continued)

>>8039175
There's a travelling party of adventurers in town. The people are already calling them "heroes," telling tales of their past deeds.

Do-gooders like these can be very dangerous. What do you want to do?

1) Gather information about them.

2) Challenge them to a duel.

3) Kidnap a princess to lure them out.

4) Scare them off.

5) Ignore them.

>>8039204
1. Gather info
If they seem adept, maybe we can offer them a job

>>8039224
Gather info, possibly hire them

>>8039053
I know, but I wouldn't want to give him even the slightest opportunity for revenge. We can find our entertainment elsewhere. Besides, we have just achieved a significant victory. It is time to celebrate.

>>8039204
Zealots can easily be mislead. Let's discover just how clever they are.

>>8039284
>>8039236
>>8039224
They're pretty tough! You really can't ignore them. They're led by a brash young paladin. They also have a wizard of some sort, a minstrel bard, a priest of the goddess of war, and a rogue.

What now?

1) Challenge them to a duel.

2) Kidnap a princess to lure them out.

3) Scare them off.

>>8039309
3. Scare them off, avoid confrontation

>>8039309

This is easy; they're lead by a paladin. All we have to do is challenge them to a duel, and assuming we are given the option, set a trap for them.

The paladin wont allow them to either align with a foul beast nor will he allow them to back down from a challenge.

1 (2 would probably also work)

>>8039328

Paladins and clerics of war are not prone to backing down from a challenge. Especially from dragons.

Plus kidnapping a princess might give their mage a chance to prepare, whereas if we can get the jump on them by staging a duel, we might be able to avoid such.

Then again, I'm just guessing we'll get the option. I'll stop double posting now.

>>8039391
An excellent point! We could also set the terms for the battle that way. The Paladin is certain to be accommodating.

Consensus?

>>8039448
Well, if we set the terms of the battle with an honourable agreement, the palidin is sure to uphold it.
Which means in the off chance that we are defeated we could survive.

>>8039578
>>8039448
>>8039391
Are you really going to fight them directly on the field of battle?

1) Yes.

2) No, I'm luring them into a trap.

>>8039681
Yes! A victory would deter any other adventurers and make our human servants think twice about hiring mercenaries to free them.

>>8039681
1. Yes, they deserve this as much
(can't we find a way to convince them to work for us?)

>>8039681

I'm obviously leaning heavily for 2. Even if we could withstand the force of a full party (with a wizard), it seems like wasted effort to uphold a human sense of honor when we're a dragon.

>>8039741
FIGHTAN

>>8039770
We've no use for a band of self-righteous do-gooders. Better to devour them and add their loot to ours.

>>8039795
But they could prove to be valuable assests
We'd just have to convince them that removing us from power would bring more harm than good to the kingdom

>>8039741
>>8039770
>>8039777
>>8039777
Alas, these adventurers are tougher than they look. As the wizard ensorcels you, the paladin's longsword cuts deeply into your torso. Even the priest lands a flurry of painful blows.

You narrowly escape with your life. They steal as much of your treasure as they can carry, and the bard's songs damage your reputation throughout the kingdom. Moreover, you can never react quite as quickly as you could before the wizard's spell muddled your thoughts.

The worst part is that they trigger revolts against you throughout your kingdom. It takes you years to reassert control. Even then, several of the more distant provinces never really recognize your rule again.

Infamy decreases greatly.

(continued)

>>8039853
You are lounging on your treasure horde when you hear the sounds of booted feet coming bravely towards your treasure chamber.

The gait is that of a goblin, but what goblin wears boots? The creature who enters is walking bravely forward, clearly scared of you but secure in the notion that he's doing the right thing.

He is armed with a small sword--a long knife, really--and wears a crude helmet that clearly used to be a kitchen implement.

He begins to speak. Like all goblins, his voice is nasal, but he puffs out his chest and begins to speak in important-sounding tones.

"O great dragon," he quavers, "I am Thokket of this tribe. I have known all my life that I am destined for greatness. Possessed as I am of a noble soul, I have practiced for many months and have mastered the art of martial combat. In your name, I wish to ride out on the field of combat and prove my worth as a true hero. One day, I shall return with a great treasure to add to your magnificent hoard. Will you grant me your blessing on my quest?"

1) Eat him.

2) Grant him my blessing.

3) Test his prowess.

4) Forbid him to go questing.

>>8039831
I suppose that we could use a band of would-be dragon-slaying adventurers to muscle one of our nearby rivals in order to expand our territory. We would have to spin a very convincing tale for that to work, though, and you could be sure that they would be back once they discover the ruse.

Hate to say I told you so...Wait, no I don't. TOLD YOU SO.

That was pretty cool.

2. Gotta make up for that last failure.

>>8039853
Ouch.

>>8039881
I would test him but make the test easy enough for such a puny creature to pass. This will boost his confidence. Who knows? A confident fool may get lucky.

>>8039881
Give him the blessing

>>8040023
On second thought, test him first.
But dont kill him.

>>8039917

Amend my vote to "test him". I didn't notice that option at first.

>>8039853
The Bard's Song

Oh the dragons balls were blazin' as I stepped into his cave,
Then I sliced his fuckin' cockles,
With a long and shiney blade!
'Twas I who fucked the dragon,
Fuckalize sing-fuckaloo!
And if you try to fuck with me,
Then I shall fuck you too!
Gotta get it on in the party zone!
I gots to shoot a load in the party zone!
Gotta lick a toad in the party zone!
Gotta suck a chode in the party zone!

>>8040094
>>8040036
>>8039986
You put him through some simple tests of skill and bravery. He's tougher than the average goblin, but not all that tough; his overabundance of sheer determination to succeed--despite all odds--compensates for whatever he may lack in general prowess.

1) Eat him.

2) Grant him my blessing.

3) Forbid him to go questing.

>>8040216
Grant him the blessing.

2.

HE SHALL RIDE WITH THE HERALDRY OF THE FLAMING DRAGON AND ALL WILL WHICH LORD HE SERVES. HIS FAME WILL BE OUR FAME.

>>8040216
He will get himself killed if he were to actually go out and attempt to kill anything. Besides, such a creature may prove useful if he were placed in charge of his more cowardly peers. I would tell him that he has so greatly exceeded my expectations that I would like to commission him as general of my army and that I will be personally sending him on missions with a team of my choosing.

If nothing else, this will be entertaining.

>>8040303
Oh god, no! Isn't our shame great enough already?

>>8040331
>>8040303
>>8040254
"Thank you, master! I swear that I will make you proud of me!"

Other than encouragement, are you going to help him along in any way?

1) Give him some real weapons.

2) Direct him toward the capitol of my kingdom.

3) Urge him to attack a neighboring kingdom.

4) Let him fend for himself.

Since this thread is auto-saging, and tonight's Charmander Quest is over, your answer will prompt the start of the new thread.

>>8040388

He shall have weapons suitable to the task. Replaceable ones, for they will eventually be lost, but ones that will serve him well.

>>8040388
Give him equipment. Outfitting him will cost us little and greatly improve his chances.

Equip, Thanks for the cool thread.

>>8040422
>>8040454

Granted
