The Forbidden Mountian

[OnyxDragon]

OOC: OK folks this will be an AD&D type story (yes again lol) so lets get the characters in and get this story taking off.

IC: I sit in my cave and ponder the mysteries of my 1000 or so years of life. The memories are of learning of my race on a little set of islands that only the dragons and select few other races are allowed to be on. I chose to leave the islands around my 400th or 500th birthday. My reason for leaving was I wanted to find out if the rest of the dragons of my species were as evil as the ones I had seen on the isles. So I ended on the main continent and began exploring
till I found a suitable site for my lair and began building my hoard. As I built I learned of the other black dragons around. I didn't like what i was hearing and learning about them and did not like what they were hearing and learning about me. As a result of all this I had to fight a few of my fellow dragons and even kill a few. I finally had enough of all this and got in contact with a sliver dragon I knew that had left the isles as well. I asked him if he would mind me moving into a cave on the opposite side of his territory in the mountains. He was not to sure about all of this but he knew from the isles that I was not at all like the rest of the dragons of my species there fore he agreed.
As part of the bargin for all of this I had to help protect the small village on that side of his territory form the constant attacks from hill giants and other nasties they were suffering from. The village was warned of this by him as he had adopted them and they him. They were not at all happy by the prospect of having a black dragon that close to them but they trusted my silver friend. So that is the story of how I came to be in this place and how I have grown to the power and majesty of my current form. My friend Cloudsinger (the silver dragon) and I have grown very close and the towns people have learned to accept me and realize that I am not evil and now bring me all kinds of rewards for my protection. I have to admit that I really like the sense that I am doing something useful in my life.
Rumors have come to my ears and the ears of Couldsinger of some raiding parties of giants that are more organized than is normal for them. The news has spread far and wide of this and Cloudsinger and I begin looking into them to try and smash this problem before any villagers get hurt but we find something even worse adventurers looking for fame and fortune. having found this we retreat for now since we know that could mean bad news for any dragon seen by them.

Ganthigan of the clan Kaziganthi found his way into a small village, overlooked by two tall mountans. How did he get here? Ganth didn't know. all he knew was that he saw a flash of light and then...

The descendent of the great Kaziganthi de Orlig (of whome his clan was named), Ganth (a namesake of Kaz's father) was alone. traveling to learn what his great grandfather learned in the second dragonwars, he must have made a mistake somewhere and wronged someone to diserve this. He remembers the stories of his great grandfather, how he often said "SOmetimes I think the gods are out to damn me". well, they must be out to damn his entire family, because here he was, nowhere known, doupting if he was even on Krynn anymore.

Ganth stepped into the village, hoping to get some answeres. Almost imidiatly, he was mobed by a large crowd of humans. Keeping his hands wide, he showd them that he meant no harm. However, when a minotaur does it, it looks like a menacing threat. Luckilly for him, the crowds did nothing rash except yell at him to leave their village. Soon though, a great black and....silver? dragons landed nearby. Thinking this was some great battle, he futilly urghes the humans back into their homes. But he was soon puzzled, because they were not battling, but in fact looking at ganth!.
Had he had the patience of his great grandfather, Ganth would have asked the dragons for peace and some information. But as he was, he wanted to go out with Honor. A large, two bladed Axe with a shiny reflective luster suddenly appeared in his hands. another legacy from his ancestor, Honor's face was a magical axe that came to his hands on will and some other things too. He charged the dragons.

Hopefully, the dragons will have more patience then the young minotaur. (hint hint)

Lana:

She sat on top of house watching the scene below. Her eyes gleamed with a mischevious blue light and her golden hair sparkled in the sun. It was a fairy's nature to be curious, but her nature went beyond that. She had never beheld a minator before and she was curious. She wanted to know why he was here. What did it mean to this place? Who was playing the game? She waited to see what dragons would do. Ready to fly away if there was any danger.

 

[Morgoth]

A great Onyx Dragon flew into the village." Hello, fellow dragons, how are the today" it asked, looking at them, but then noticing the charging minotaur. It picked up it's claw and slammed down on him, not killing him, but pinning him between it's claws."Who are you, little beast? I am Murazor. I lead the clan of Onyx. We are peaceful beasts who mean none harm, although we must eat, but never human or Minotaur, only giant", it boomed, talking to the dragons and the Minotaur.

 

[Cryo]

"AAARGH MPHFFFSHPHT PPHURURRRRRRRT" the onyx dragon lifted it's paw. Ganth, through shere force of will, refrained himself from charging agian. "pant, pant... You are not attacking the village?"
"Indeed little minotaur, we are Protecting the village!" ganth looked into the mirror face of his Axe, and sure enough saw the reflection of the dragons. another ability honor's face had was to reflect only those creatures with honor, weather gully dwarf, or avatar. "Ok then. By the horns of Kiri Jolith, please tell me where I am!"

 

[Morgoth]

"I am a visitor to this village, so I as well would like to know", Murazor said.

IC: Onyx
just as i am about to do something about this brash young minotaur that has desided to charge Cloudsinger and I a new dragon that I have never before seen lands and takes care of the problem for me. As the young minotaur stands up and looks into his axe I recognize the axe as the Honor's Face an axe that would only reflect the face of those creatures with honor. Also it was only found on the plane of Krynn(which really struck me as unusual). i saw in the axe face the reflection of Cloudsinger and myself but from the angle I was I could not see if the other dragon was or was not show in the axe or not. From his words though I took the fact that he was not evil (but was still very cautious not knowing if he was good or evil for sure) so I took a few steps back and told him this was the village of Cenna. Cloudsinger stepped forward and asked that the young minotaur please sit so that he would not worry the towns folk. He than proceded to (in normal dragon fashion) lay into this new dragon who claimed to be the head of the Onyx dragon clan asking what he thought he was doing just barging into another dragons territory without first seeking his premission from afar. The only type of dragon that would do something like that was either an evil dragon looking to take over the territory or one who has no manners and was very uncouth and needed a lesson in manners.
At this I had to hold back a laugh. For Cloud was very formal about any dragon coming into his mountians.

 

[Morgoth]

"Sorry, sirs, but I was raised here, on the mainland, you must be from the island. We have different rituals here. I am sorry if I have offended you. I have heard tales of two good dragons who protect a village and I came to speak to them. It must be you two", he said looking at the two smaller dragons in front of him.

 

[Cryo]

"Hold it, Hold it, If I'm not on krynn, Where in the Abyss am I?" Ganth's voice was booming, Making even the dragons respect him.

 

[Morgoth]

" You are officially, as said by the other dragon over here, in the village of Cenna", Murazor said, looking at them.

 

[Cryo]

"And How does that help me?"

 

[Morgoth]

"How the hell should I know, you wanted to know where you were, so I told you. But then again, doesn't it depend on where you want to go?" Murazor asked him.

 

[Cryo]

"Hey, Let's pretend I was just born. THis is my map!" Ganth held up a blank piece of paper. "This is a list of places I know or heard about" He held up the same blank piece of paper. "THis is a list of people I know in this world" Same blank piece of paper. "Any questions?"

 

[Morgoth]

"Sorry, well if I knew where you were going or who you wanted to meet, I meght be able to tell you. Actually most likely, I'll be able to tell you. I've been here a very long time", he told Ganth.

 

[OnyxDragon]

As Murazor speaks Cloud and I look at each other and share a thought or two. I first tell the young minotaur to calm down and that his questons will be answered soon. As i do this Cloud casts detect magic on Muzazor to see if he has any spells placed on him.(Cloud and I always use a spell to make ourselves smaller when we come to the village.) Cloud's look tells me that he does not and as such is at his full size.Cloud than says that if the two new visitors would not mind he is going to take us to a place where we can talk about things the townsfolk would not understand and would probably frighten them. Muzazor and Ganth both agree and Cloud chants three words softly and unheard by the villagers. A blue flash appears around the dragons and the minotaur and when it is gone so are they.
They reappear in a huge clearing somewhere in the woods. As all heads clear I notice that Cloud has not only brought us here with a spell but also dropped our spell to make us smaller. So now we are standing taller than Murazor by about a neck span. I look at Muzazor and realize that he is shocked to see that Cloud and i are bigger than him but he recovers quickly and hides that fact. I than look at Ganth and he is just staring at all of us. I calm him by begining to tell him where he is. I tell him that he is on the planet of Toril which is in a different than his Native Krynn. As for how he is to get back either Could or I could send him or maybe even Muzazor could , or he could undertake a long a difficult journey to the far land of Mazteca to find the only remaining gate back to Krynn.
I know that if he is on this continent that he must of come through the gate located just out side of Waterdeep. The bad thing about this is that gate is one-way. As for Muzazor , Cloud has been drilling him as to why he would want to find the us. Does he want to help us fight the giants or does he wish to try and distract us so the giants can do whatever it is there are trying to do or what?

 

[Cryo]

"My great grandfather said that he thought the gods are out to get him. Bourdo, the cleric of the clan said that the god's never do something to see the effect. THere is allways a reason for their intervention. I wasn't exactly in the middle of something when I was sent here, so I will try to help you with your quest. On krynn, Only the dragons could stand up to a charging Minotaur, and sometimes not even them. Though how effective I could be against these... giants, only time can tell. " Ganth, like the rest of his race (and despite evidence to the contrairy), distrusts magic, so he made it clear that he didn't like this place or the tricks the dragons used so freely.

 

[OnyxDragon]

I look to Ganth and tell him that he is more than welcome to join us in our battle against the giants but that he will have to learn to deal with the so called tricks as they were a part of us and we used all the time. As for how effective you will be against the giants I guess we shall see soon enough. If you would like to know what you are up against when facing giants thatn I will make some illusions of them so that you can what they look like and the tactics used most often by them.

 

[Morgoth]

"I will help you in your battle against the giants, and so will my clan!" he exclaimed."Now, if you don't mind I am going to remove this pesky shrink spell, and yes, I know you are amazed because you casted detect magic and found none, but in this place, it only works on creatures with less mana", he told them and grew to almost a head above them.

OOC: This guy is a clan leader, so he must be big!

 

[Cryo]

Ganth knew about the true size of the Onyx dragon. He was it in his Axe when he looked at the reflection fro truth. Honors face was created by the gods, and can only be masked by the magic of the gods. HE however chose to remain silent about the Issue.

 

[Morgoth]

Murazor looked about, as if having a new freedom.

 

[poohlive]

Garret leaned closely against the ladder, he could plainly see the fairy in front of him. His mind pondered over the stories of mortals catching fairies. He wondered how many wishes and gold he was going to get.
He had the net poised in the air, this was it.
"Garret, I told you not to use the ladder, come down from there young man," Garret winced.
The fairy looked at him, and started to fly off, but he took the net down. It didn't catch her, but he was close, the end of the net bumped her, she landed softly on the roof.
"You aren't getting away so easy," Garret climbed onto the roof, just as the fairy started flying. He was out of each, she was already passed the roof's edge.
Garret thought, if he could leap. He looked at the ground below, not too soft, but he had to risk it.
Garret jumped off the roof, the net oustretched, he caught the fairy as gravity pulled him down all 15 feet. He landed with a small thud, but quickly shot back up, making sure the fairy was caught.
He took out a glass jar, and put the fairy in there, making sure the lid was tight (can anyone say legend of Zelda?). He smiled, the fairy was all his.
"Hello little one. I caught you, so, how many wishes do I get?"
Garret looked at her with enthusiasm.

OOC: Ok well i guess Morgoth has to be like the biggest and strongest one in this thread so ill just give in and let it lay.

IC: OnyxDragon
Once Murazor sheds he spell we all get down to trying to figure out how to stop these giants. Cloud and myself fill the others in on what we have figured out so far. Such as the fact that these giants are not like normal ones. They are acting in a much more intelligent fashion , as if there is a strong mind behind them. Once agian i ask Ganth if he would like to see some illusions of the giants we will be facing so that he maybe prepared to fight them. Also inform him that it might be a good idea since there will also be a few good giants fighting on our side.

 

[Cryo]

"Show me. I don't like it, but show me."

 

[Morgoth]

OOC: Don't start it. I am just the biggest. That's all. You two are stronger. I am just bigger and have more mana.

IC: "I wouldn't mind seeing a few of them, myself. I know most of them, but you may just show me some new ones.

IC: "I wouldn't mind seeing a few of them, myself. I know most of them, but you may just show me some new ones", Murazor said.
