>>22056893
As you bring your apprentice into the large corridors you begin to show him the basics of spells that any wizard would know.

Teaching goes well and he does relize that shooting fireballs isn't wise. He prefers using spells like Dancing Lights, Ghost Sound, and had accidently cast Sleep on one of the goblins.

The kobolds have been acting oddly. Eventually one asks you if there is an 'extra safe' area to store something that they have.

It would have helped if you'd told us you were going on an errand. Sadly, his last impersonation post was plausible where the other two weren't, really.

>>22057774
Perfect.)

You summon your apprentice in after telling the Kobold an empty pantry would be fine for such an egg as it could be locked.

You draw the circle in your study and focus the magic...as you work on the mighty words of power your apprentice takes notes of such. The bright boy still weraing the necklace from before.

Now...as such the summoning circle touched a bit of blood from an old Archmage who lived in the castle long ago and the blood still was in the stone. This created something truely surprising coming from the flash of light.

It was an elemental of some kind. Large as an ox yet with bright yellow eyes and rocky exterior.

You've Summoned an Earth Elemental.

A: Bind it
B: Diplomance it
C: Kill it and harvest it's goodies.
D: Write in

>>22057764
Whatever works, OP. Now put two hashes directly after your name, no spaces, in the name field, and type something. BECAUSE TRIPCODE.

A few small waves of your hand, a few words of power, and a vial of fairy dust (Where fairy dust comes from you don't want to know.) You have yourself an Earth Elemental bound.

It seems rather tame in it's place and not much else for it to do. For Earth Elementals are truely neutral creatures and are not the brightest. At best, he'd be a good wall or packmule unless you train it for something else or do something to improve it's usefulness.

Good point, good point. Back to C then.

>>22058166
>>22058174
Admittedly, they likely already speak draconic. Many magical texts are written in it. Aside from that, literacy doesn't instantly turn them into staff for the school, that'd be a long process.

Nevertheless, I'm fine with delaying it.

>>22058192
Alright then.
>>22058118
(Just using this as a roll...)

You head down to the dungeon again. Bringing along one of the goblins and kobolds you poke around opening a few more doors and finding very little. The Earth Elemental has also come incase you need something smashed...albet you ordered it to do so. It's rather Simple. Not mindless just happy to take orders.

You hear a light scraping and tapping from down two halls...

A: Left hall, it has higher lit braziers and seemingly warmer.
B: Right hall, it's a little Damp and a bit dark with clear sound of water dripping.

>>22058192
(I didn't even remember that...
Having them learn the reading of the magical text is good...but remember. They are Kobolds...and well...they're kobolds. )

>>22058223
May as well go left and make a map as we go, or mark the walls with chalk or runes or something.

>>22058249
Kobold mages that swear fealty to more powerful mages (usually dragons, whom they worship as gods) exist in a variety of D&D books. I was going off all that crap as a source of ideas, but if your Kobolds are different I ain't got no problem.

Mainly shamans for the illiterate ones and priests and sorcerers for the rest.

-----
You look rather pissed and fire your own magic missile at the demon and a goblin runs at the demon bravely...and his foot hits a rune on the floor.

The rune lights others up on the walls and four huge bolts of lightning shoots at the demon and damn near destroys it. As it works like all magic would the beast falls in it's niche and the group is able to dodge it's explosive discharge.

As you go to the now smoking and still burning corpse. You notice something behind it in the niche. It has something behind it in another cell and you can see a small circle of magical runes.

>>22058568
As you head to the large circle you sense something strange about the circle...the elemental that got close starts to change a bit.

It morphs a little bit and takes on more draconic features and the goblins don't get very close. Along with that you see the magical words of 'transformation' and one for 'intelligence'.

You look at the earth elemental looks at you and says something in infernal and bows to you. Now only if you knew infernal...Seems the demon was a normal monster...until it got too much exposure to the circle.

You head up out of their dungeon and the earth elemental grabbed the demon putting it in a higher cell.

As you go on in your study of the corpse and cut it open with a few knives from a small alchemy you find a few large glowing crystals in it's organs. Taking the crystals out you feel very powerful magic in them...as if the magic from the creature was brought by these crystals.

You put them in a small pouch and learn a bit more about the demon's inner workings and pull out a small egg of black and red.

Let's wait on the circle, yes? What with the whole "get too close, turn into a demon" thing.

The opportunity cost is that some creature down there in the dungeon will do exactly that, as happened with the 'demon.' It's a regular demon factory by itself.

>>22060337
>>22060380
>>22060420
So this...is for examining the egg?

>>22060549
It's to learn whatever we can about the weird shit in the basement so that we can neutralize the threat of random monsters walking into a demonizer-o-matic magic circle and then hanging around downstairs.

The egg is just part of a well-rounded threat assessment, it comes in last because it is probably less dangerous than anything else, including the corpse.

>>22060629
Also, the earth elemental talked to us in Infernal, we can ask it what it was saying, etc.

>>22060698
Ask the earth elemental what he said to us earlier, and what happened to him in the circle. Use the dictionary to reference what he's saying.

If it seems safe from what he says, go downstairs and check the circle over for runes we can translate, etc.
