Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Those who would be walking to or past the campfire of the Friendly Arm's in would notice a beautiful lady and a masked tall man conversing at the fire. . . It would seem as thought they had just begun speaking but the conversation would soon be from a commune. . . To a grand tale being told with magical visual's representing the scene of the story.

Those who would walk to the campfire or past could hear the story plainly if close enough. . . While also spotting the visual effects, gestures and figures that seem to be sitting around listening into the story itself.

Those walking past or ease dropping would listen into the tale. . . Although it would seem he is speaking it in a low monotone voice which would be hard to hear from afar: DC 8 Listen

The visuals would be plain to see from a handful of feet away: DC 5 spot.

((Those with enhance or low light vision do not need to roll spot))

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) "Well met, Aeb'el." Smiles warmly.

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) Adelaide's armor would alert of her presence, before she spoke.

((Aeb'el:)) Aeb'els head would slowly shift upward as his name is spoken his gaze meeting Adelaide. "Well met lady of Beauty." He gives her a slow incline of his head.

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) She would dip her head in return.

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) "I do not disturb, I pray?" Gestures at the book in his hand.

((Aeb'el:)) "What brings you to the inn. . .?" He says looking back to his book and the pages within it another page turned as he finishes capturing its wording.

((Aeb'el:)) "No no i had just started accually. . ." He would say flipping another page.

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) "I stop by here time to time! Just along the road."

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) "Good place to rest one's feet for a little while."

((Aeb'el:)) "Ah. . . Well it is quite the place to-"

((Aeb'el:)) Yes that. He says as she steals his wording.

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) "May I join you?" Smiles brightly.

((Aeb'el:)) "Please do." He holds a hand out to the bench on the other side of the campfire.

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) sweeps aside the cloak before sitting.

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) "How does this day find you, Aeb'el?"

((Aeb'el:)) Another page of his book his flipped revealing new wording.
"Hm. . ." He thinks a moment.

((Aeb'el:)) "Has word not spread of the battle of the Red and Copper Dragon?"

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) "I am not aware of any such battle, no."

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) "Is it something recent?"

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) Curiously looks to him.

((Aeb'el:)) His nods his head slightly. "Fairly recent. . . I was one of those lucky few to take part in the battle."

((Aeb'el:)) "I had only just arrived here to rest and recover."

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) "Oh! What battle was this then? Between two dragons, you say...?"

((Aeb'el:)) "The battle of the great Red Dragon. . . Known to be quite hostile in the region due to the Thayan's and its priceless red gem. . . And the ancient copper dragon of Tales."

((Aeb'el:)) "It was quite the battle." He nods remembering the event clearly.

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) "Dragon?"

((Aeb'el:)) "Aye."

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) "I would not mind hearing the tale!" Awed.

((Aeb'el:)) Ah. . . Aeb'el would close his book softly and taking in a deep breath of the warm air. "Then i shall tell it. . ."

((Aeb'el:)) As Aeb'el would begin his story he would speak a breif incantation and wave his have over the smoke and fumes of the fire as it began to give a visible representation of the scenes.

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) She smiles.

((Aeb'el:)) "It all began yesterday afternoon. . . A mighty ball of flame was seen flying through the sky in the direction of beregost. . . Many adventures, travelers, bards, and commoners had all began to travel there in desperate attempt to pin point ball of fire. . ."

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) Drinks of a wine bottle, amber eyes showing keen interest.

((Aeb'el:)) "A trail of ash could plainly be seen heading south of beregost. . . far down the roads. . . as it would soon take us all to the south road of beregost where in the distance. . . A flame could be seen an injured copper dragon."

((Aeb'el:)) "The copper dragon had looked to all of us seeming rather stuck as his left wing seem to be broken a large hot gash upon it and on his lower body. Many of those who specialized in healing magic attempted to heal the dragon."

((Aeb'el:)) "Soon it would be healed and joyful in the fact. It would ask us all. "Tell me a joke."

((Aeb'el:)) "To which a bard walked forward. . . Erm. . . I don't belive i know his name. . ."

((Aeb'el:)) "Jokes were shared and all was happy until the combatant finally emerged from the sky. . ."

((Aeb'el:)) "The Red Dragon himself. . ."

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) Eyes widen again.

((Aeb'el:)) "The copper Dragon would stand to its feet a large roar emitting from its mouth and a gust of wind pushing the air at its will. As the Red Dragon did the same creating a battle of wind and air among the field of battle."

((Aeb'el:)) "Many would look to aid the copper in its fight as it begun. . . Fire, Magic, and Steel creating colors of battle in the sky as it began to darken."

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) Drinks of the wine, looking quite like she is imagining the battle as it is being relayed.

((Aeb'el:)) "As the battle begun i was down the hill away from the fighting as i had been tending to a few wounded of the fight. . . Many many injured some killed. . . Although i could only revive a few handful of the fallen who would combat the Red Dragon."

((Aeb'el:)) "Soon the battle would take to the skies. . . The Red and the Copper beginning to make the sky itself their battle feild and us its spectators. . ."

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) Ponders of the tale told.

((Aeb'el:)) "The copper dragon would seem to be losing the fight. . . as the red dragon began to overwhelm the copper in the air battle."

((Aeb'el:)) "Soon only a handful of us who could take to the skies would assist him. As I and three others altered our forms to allow us flight and continue the battle itself!"

((Aeb'el:)) "Unfortunately. . ." He sighs slightly as he continues.

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) Leans forward a little, waiting for more words.

((Aeb'el:)) "All of them would fall from the sky. . . Overwhelmed by the Dragon and its strength. . . Even the copper Dragon himself would be overcome. . ."

((Aeb'el:)) "Soon all was left was me as the copper fell from the skies. . . The only one left to defend those below. . ."

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) "What of the red dragon?"

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) Looks sheepish as she interrupts the story.

((Aeb'el:)) "Me and the Red would engage in battle in the skies one to one. . . I had managed to duck and dodge most of his attacks as he did so with mine. . . It became almost a stalemate as we could barely land a single physical hit on eachother. . . But my wits were not fast enough as i was outsmarted by a blast of fire from its mouth. . . I managed to shrug off the flames. . . But now i was weakened slightly and at a disadvantage to the Red Drake."

((Aeb'el:)) "But soon enough. . . Those one the ground would heal the Copper Drake well enough for it to take flight and rejoin the battle once more. . ."

((Aeb'el:)) "Me and the copper would drive the Red off after a long and hard battle. . . Allowing all those who were in spectate and those who participated to live to tell the tale."

((Aeb'el:)) "And again we would all speak of riddles and jokes once more."

((Aeb'el:)) Aeb'el would finally finish his story, a pat of the book he was reading now sitting on the bench next to him and the smoke and fumes that followed the scene of the story flowing naturally upward into the air once more.

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) Smiles brightly.

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) "That is a very remarkable story, Aeb'el!"

((Adelaide van de Saer:))"You tell it well."

((Aeb'el:)) "It is one i shall never forget." He says looking longingly into the fire

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) "I can imagine. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity, for one to be able to even witness something like it.. let alone be in the midst of it."

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) "Aeb'el, can I ask, why did you aid the copper dragon?"

((Adelaide van de Saer:)) Looks curiously to him.

((Aeb'el:)) Aeb'el would think long and hard about the question. . . As a silence grew between the both of them for a breif while while Aeb'el processed the answer. . .

((Aeb'el:)) "It was not my intention to. . .But the Red is a natural enemy to that of the white to which i swore oath to protect. . . And being so close to her lair. . . It was more of a whim to defend the copper."

((Aeb'el:)) "For the enemy was one and the same at the current moment. . ."
