Coming to America and being evil. A modern 3.5 game

[Ralasha]

Miradal picks up the halfling under one arm, and begins bounding towards the temple of Bahamut on three limbs, using her wings to help support her weight.
(No chance, I'm loving this game.)

[Doomboy911]

Quick question what level are we at again?

[Ralasha]

Still at 3.

[Eshkigal]

(Sorry about delay, I was out of town and didn't have most of my stuff with me.)
"Sounds good."
He follows Miradal, Niuquo, and Alie, just looking for a quiet bench where he can look at the pictures.
(1d20+1)[3]-search the pictures for ones he doesn't recognize, preferably old.

[Doomboy911]

You look left and right for a empty bench but can only find one with a troglodyte man covered in trash who is half asleep. You reluctantly sit beside and he leans on you. Some of the pictures you recognize as family members you've been shown in picture books. Some are in black and white some are small painting . They seem a little run of the mill except for one. It's an image of a old man his hair is gray and mostly gone, scars are going all along his face and the seem to originate from his eyes which are purple. He's dressed in torn robes and his hand looks like it's made out of black rock. "Hey it's Mitch" the troglodyte says looking over your shoulder.

[Eshkigal]

"Mitch? What is his full name? Better yet, can you show me where he is?"
He turns and looks at the trog.
"Is important for my family that I find him."

[Doomboy911]

"Sure I can help you but it's not pleasant at least as far as I can remember." he scratches his head and you see he has a terrible head wound in that you can see part of his skull . "Can't really remember much friend but I have seen that guy and I remember you're gonna need muscle lots of it."

[Ralasha]

Miradal hopefully actually makes it into the temple before a year has passed, and requests of them what she requires to complete the ritual, and if possible a dragon, or half-dragon of some other type to perform the ritual of change with.

[Doomboy911]

You reach the temple in a matter of moments (relatively) their is cleric reading on the stairs and asks about the ritual you wish to perfrom (I kind of need to know which book this is in.Than we can get this show on the road.)

[Ralasha]

Dragonlance for the ritual to make Allie into Dragonspawn.
Races of the Dragon for the ritual of Change to change dragon-type.

[Isenvrill]

Niuqu leaps out of the snow, flapping his wings so that he hovers above it. he looks at the captain and says, "Feats of strength? Me? Not likely. Anything better suited to my abilities? And what is this problem we must solve hmm?"

(Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been out of town.)

[Doomboy911]

Ok found the pages.

"Alright than we can prepare a ritual room have you meditated and fast for a day? Also what species of dragon would you like to change to and would you like the dragonspawning to be done before or after the species changing." she leans in close and whispers in your ear "Are you planning on enslaving him?"

[Ralasha]

Miradal whispers back, "Not... enslave persay, just make him... subserviant, to a point. I am going to raise him in the old ways, since he will then be a dragon, and teach him the ancient traditions." She then speaks in a louder voice. "I will perform his ritual after, He will require a room and food. As to the dragon-type... Adamantine, Iron, Mithril, or Steel Dragon, I think... hmmm... Adamantine it is. More power, less agility."

[Eshkigal]

"That I think I can find, though as we are distant blood relatives, that may be less of an issue. What happened to your head?"

[Doomboy911]

"Well dear Niquo there are jobs everywhere simply pick a temple head to the back alleys knock on the door and offer your services. Since everyone has gone off on their little quests I'll be sticking with you".

The trogolodyte thinks hard for a second. An audible thump can be heard in his head and he winces in pain "Don't know still hurts"

"Yes very good now you have an adamantine dragon to assist in this ceremony because we'd have to call in a specialist just to get in touch with one and the price for the ritual might grow substantially. Are you able and willing to pay a greater fee?"

[Eshkigal]

"Let's get that looked at."
He stands, and helps the trog up.
"Won some coin recently, so we can get that tended to by a priest."

[Isenvrill]

Beckoning to the captain, Niuqu heads towards the temple of Boccob, his personal deity.

[Doomboy911]

"Ah Boccob my tailor goes there he made this fine little piece you see here" he pulls on his suit and whips out a knife. "Finest material around" and he slams the knife into his gut then waits. The blade doesn't even pull a thread out. "I'll be more than happy to help and maybe actually pay for this."

[Ralasha]

"That would have to depend upon the fee. How much will it cost me, in total? Let me see now, since I am capable of performing the ritual for allie with one, simple spell cast by you, and the only involvement you really have in my ritual of change is finding this dragon, and I am a Chromatic looking to change its stripes, unless, this being a temple of Bahamut, you would rather I just give in to my nature? No, I doubt that very much, and, being a dragon, I obviously dislike giving up my money for absolutely no reason, of course. How much is the total for both rituals, noting of course, I can just go elsewhere to change my little friend into my spawn. Where-as, if you were willing to assist me without bringing corruption greed, or some misplaced dislike for me into the mix, I would be rather greatful. Since I am on the path of becoming a full blooded dragon, with what draconic rituals I know, including the spawning ritual, which to my understanding most consider to be lost. Else they would make their own kobolds, and Dragon-spawn far more often... A ritual which you could of course, learn from me, which would allow you to have a service no other temple could immediately claim at your disposal. What is the price again?"

[Doomboy911]

"Well first I assume you have the proper ingredients such as an actual adamantine dragon to breath it's weapon upon you and I must also believe that you have the magical expertise to perform a dragonspawning ritual and you're able to keep your friends sentience afterwards like are train proffesionals are. The price of the second ritual is substantially minimal after the first one is performed but the first one requires us to hire a dragon finding specialist who has simply ridiculous prices but he is able to get the job done is a quick enough fashion in that he could have your dragon very quickly. Also in order to actually get the dragon here he would like money himself to add to his hoard which we have to drag away from. If you are aware of the nest of an adamantine dragon by all means we will go there and perform this ritual.

If you wish you can argue with the specialist over the price."

[Isenvrill]

Niuqu frowns at the captain. "You just reminded me, Tardigrade never did tell me the power of the morningstar and dagger I took from him."

As they arrive at the temple Niuqu heads around back as the captain suggested and knocks

[Ralasha]

"Ah, no, I don't know where an Adamantine Dragon is. Do you? Next, A five hundred Gold Piece gem is a five hundred gold piece gem. Next. A bless spell costs you, in all actuallity, nothing at all. Next, You still haven't told me the price. Out with it. Lets assume I have no magical training at all aside from the knowledge of the rituals and how to perform them, and if you have a specialist I'm Ao. Unless your specialist is a dragon of some kind. Next Dragonspawn do not lose their sentience unless the ritual is tampered with.

HOW MUCH?! ANSWER THE QUESTION!"

[Doomboy911]

"I'd like that Jimmy I'd like that a whole lot but I can't pay for nothing."

The door is answered almost immediately by a large Ettin he grabs Jack by the collar and launches him across the room where he is quickly set upon by a mass of black tentacles coming out of the ground "You here to collect the bounty on this scum's head?"

The cost of the gem is 500 gold with the ceremony and room costing merely 100 gold pieces since their is a half dragon with the person being changed. For the transformation of your heritage it is 750 gold but the specialist charges 1000 gold to go out for the dragon and you personally will have to convince him or her that you are worthy of joining the ranks of his type.Since you seem so willing I will tell one of our clerics to fetch him. Though I must warn you, you may have to venture to the dragon with the specialist."

[Ralasha]

"These charges should constitute no problem to me. I would also prefer going with."

[Isenvrill]

Niuqu looks up at the Ettin, and making a slightly confused face, "Bounty? I wasn't even aware there was one."

A thought flashes through Niuqu's mind Its the captain. Why wouldn't there be a bounty? Honestly, that man irritates almost everyone he comes across. Niuqu smiles a touch mischievously at the captain. "Seeing as I brought him here though, I'd be glad to accept that bounty. If you're after the knife he stole, he's got it on his person somewhere. He waved it about a while ago."

Niuqu pauses for a moment, flies up into the air so he can see eye to eye with the Ettin, and then continues, "The real reason I'm here my friend, is to offer my services to fellow servants of Boccob."

[Doomboy911]

"Well you've done us a great service with just bringing him here and we'll be able to pay you his bounty after we take it out of his skin. out of the blue a summoning circle appears around Jack "Hahaha being summoned for some silly reason suck it" you hear a voice ringing throughout the room "Jack" and he loudly coughs over the rest "Like I'm going to share my true name." Smoke rises from the circle wrapping around his limbs and slamming him down into the ground where he poofs away.

[Isenvrill]

"Well. That was interesting."

[Eshkigal]

"Is on me. Is least I can do if this leads where it should."
He leads the trog to a church of Obad Hai if he sees one.

[Doomboy911]

In a matter of moments a cleric comes out and says""Ma'm we've summoned the specialist and you're fortunate he's in a good mood. Apparently we just pulled him out of a tricky little situation and he's actually knows of an adamantine dragon." he motions you inside and points you to a room labeled "Dragon specialist summoning room" the doors are made of steel and lined with runes.

"Well kid you did a fine job bringing him in the first time if you could pull it off we'll make sure he doesn't slip away. Catching him would help out the whole temple with the massive bill he's piled up."

Arkadi could you roll me a knowledge nature and religion check to find the temple of obad-hai.

The cleric signals for a guard to open the doors and you see your captain floating in a circle he has chains made of smoke wrapped around him that lead into the edges of the circle. The walls are covered in burn marks and their are two guards with shotguns pointed at him one is a half silver dragon with the other being a normal human. "Hey you two so I hear you wanted to meet an adamantine dragon" he moves closer to the circle and the chains lose their smoky look and become actuals chains binding him. He winces in pain "Since it's for you two I'll give you a fifteen percent off" he tells you turning back to the centre of the circle where the chains return to their smoky shape "I have to warn you I only know about three adamantine two that could perform the ceremony. One of them is still too young he's barely hatched, he's tons of fun to be around but his mother doesn't like me playing with him and she sort of hates my guts with good reason. The other is a old battleship of a dragon he can put up with me but he's not too kind on women. So you got two options the momma dragon who probably isn't going to like to see any of us around you know with two of us being human-ish and one of us being a green dragon or the other who I like to call Bruce. Your choice."

[Isenvrill]

"I am somewhat indebted to the captain, so I'm not sure about capturing him again, but I believe I will be able to get him to repay you. Will that suffice?"
