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!]

GREEN FLIGHT

[mortalforged]

[theshadowkissed]

Rose leaned against a tree, arms crossed, as she listened. "Who all was taken?"

That's what she needed to know before doing anything else.

[mortalforged]

Morpheus stifled a yawn and tried to look serious. "None of the Green Dragonsworn were taken, but there are a few from the other flights. You may not want to get involved for that reason, but... the red flight has always been closest to us. I am sure Lady Alexstrasza is beside herself."

[theshadowkissed]

"The fact that none are ours isn't a factor here. You all brought us here to help fix the problem here between all you dragons so we can kick demon ass, right?"

Rose wasn't just sticking to her flight which may or may not cause problems in the future since she's more than willing to tell all the dragons, including Ysera, to go suck on her non-existent cock.

"What I need to know is if I have a personal stake in this other than the save-my-world one or if this is a duty thing for me." Because the more personal something is for Rose, the more dangerous and reckless her planning tended to get. "So, so you have names of those taken?"

[mortalforged]

"Y... yes, I suppose that's true." Rose always did speak plainly but sometimes he wondered if she was a loose cannon in the waiting. "I do not know names, but they are all Dragonsworn, like you. I think not helping would look very, very bad. We should all be friends, in my opinion."

[theshadowkissed]

"We're going to help." Yes, Rose just decided that for everyone. Try to talk her out of it. "I think the fact that we are going to help without any of ours being in danger is going to say a whole lot."

[mortalforged]

Oh, Rose. Morpheus' eyebrow arched, but then he grinned a little, sharp teeth and all. "Yes. Yes, please do. Lady Ysera will be pleased. She and Lady Alexstrasza are like sisters."

[pouts]

Elves?

[ Nowi reaches up to tug at her own ears as if that will help the situation any. ]

Can they be negotiated with? Give us back our people and Nowi will show them how to make their armor shinier.

[ At least the first half of that statement can be taken seriously. The rest... well, it's Nowi. ]

[theshadowkissed]

Let the Red and Bronze Flights negotiate. We're better suited to carry out the rescue mission.

[pouts]

Rescue mission?

[ The pout leaves her as she considers it. ] How are we more qualified to do that than the Red and Bronze ones?

[theshadowkissed]

[Rose just gives her a Look.] Have you even bothered to learn to about the special abilities being part of this Flight has given us?

[pouts]

No, I've been busy learning how to turn into a tree.

[ While saying absurd things isn't out of the ordinary for her, she does seem pretty serious about this one thing. ]

[mortalforged]

I think we can negotiate. I have never spoken to these elves personally, but elves are not unpleasant on the whole. The little druids are actually quite fun.

[A pause.]

... How do you make armor shinier?

[pouts]

[ Maybe later Nowi can ask how to play with the druids herself, but for now there's something more important to discuss. ]

With stones!

[mortalforged]

What kind of stones? Wouldn't they just scratch the armor?

[He rubs at his little beard.]

[pouts]

Shiny ones. [ Come on, keep up Morpheus. ]

You can embed them in your armor like this.

[ Pointing to the clasp of her cloak. The green gemstone doesn't seem like it'll scratch her skin or the setting it was placed into. ]

[ninjacques]

     Jacques somehow stands with his eagle, Hawk (yeah, he's not the best with names, so sue him), perched on his shoulder despite its size. He idly checks the tension on his bow gun, glancing up with a faint arch of a brow.

     "...about how many elves are there. Do we know...?"

[theshadowkissed]

"It's a whole city. Probably bigger than Silverglen," Rose replied.

[ninjacques]

     The hunter nods thoughtfully at that, his expression remaining ever neutral.

[theshadowkissed]

Rose had an idea. She pointed to the bird. "Can you and him actually communicate? Because we could use him for recon then."

[ninjacques]

     That was a good suggestion. Jacques nodded again to confirm her inquiry, Hawk vocalizing an affirmative with a screech.

[mortalforged]

Morpheus shook his head. "I have no solid numbers. Even if they were the same population as Silverglen, they are all armed. Trained, too."

[ninjacques]

     Falling silent again, Jacques considers that detail. They'd be dealing with fighters, and even a small number of those who know what they're doing are dangerous. Now, an entire population, well...

[mortalforged]

He knew the odds were bad. "I would suggest talking to them first. There are abilities you have as a green dragonsworn that others do not have. I think working together is the best way to rescue them, so you can cover each other's weaknesses."

[ninjacques]

     Nodding slowly, the hunter didn't disagree to that suggestion, although he also thought himself hardly the one to handle such. Normally he didn't handle negotiations back with Geddoe's mercenaries, but that was because the others were much better at that.
