Quest Log: Suit Up!

[modforged]

Who: Dragon mages and dragonsworn.
What: You have been given a quest to infiltrate Sin'thalas and rescue your fellow dragonsworn. Also discussion of scrying orbs.
Where: The sanctums.
When: May 4th and ongoing for a week.
Warnings: Please PM the mods if needed.


Despite the chaos surrounding the disappearances of several Dragonsworn, your sanctum's dragon mage is trying to be calm about this. After a brief discussion behind the scenes with the others, he or she has returned.

"Gather 'round, I have some grave news. Several Dragonsworn have gone missing. We found them, but we are unable to rescue them by ourselves. It would look very bad if dragons were to attack a settlement. That is why we are asking you for help.

"Southeast of Suramar is a village named Sin'thalas. It is these elves who have taken and imprisoned the Dragonsworn. Whether you negotiate or use force to ensure the return of your brethren, it will not be easy. These elves are highly-trained and knowledgeable, far from the refugees you may have seen in the Retreat.

"In light of this, we have implemented a system to communicate over great distances." The dragon mage unveils a magical orb nearby, the perfect size for gazing. "This is a scrying orb. Approach it and think of Sin'thalas, and you will be seen and heard from the orb at that location. It also works in reverse. This should allow us to coordinate our movements depending on the flow of the situation.

"I urge you to think carefully about how best to retrieve your fellow Dragonsworn. You are yet a small force and highly outnumbered. We cannot afford to lose any of you."

[ooc: If characters want to use the orbs, lookingformore is now OPEN. Remember, orbs CANNOT connect from sanctum to sanctum!]

The Bronze Sssanctum. [ An easy answer, though perhaps not the one she seeks. ] On the world of Azeroth.

You will find you are far, far away from the place you may consssider home.

[ Consider, spoken as if there's doubt there. ]

[rewritethesky]

[He wouldn't be far from the truth to be honest. Namine's eyes fall at the sound of 'home', avoiding him. She doesn't have one, just someone she needs to get back to.]

...Is there no way to get back?

[chronoforged]

There isss alwaysss a way to return, but which do you prefer: the one that guaranteesss the sssafety of your world or the ssselfish desssire to bring back the demonsss that plague thisss land with you?

Will you not fight them asss you have been called here to do?

[rewritethesky]

[There's really no doubt which she'd choose, but that last question? Oooh, that gets a look from her. Not completely angry, but definitely unsure, a little irate, and shocked.]

You... brought me here to fight for you? [There are so many more qualified candidates from her universe.]

...Why me?

[chronoforged]

Why you indeed!

[ Doesn't seem like he'll be giving her a straight answer, what a load of help this one is. ]

Look inssside yourssself and sssee, child.

[rewritethesky]

[Jerk B|

She doesn't answer, just looking away again. It's not worth an answer or arguing about it.]

But you're... a dragon right? Why can't you fight?

[chronoforged]

Why would I fight when we have brought you to do sssso in our place?

[ He really is a jerk. ]
