> This is a lot better than I expected. Alaris is suddenly looking like a nicer guy/dragon, 'cause at least he cares for his daughter.

Mistake part 3!

Alaris smiles and drops out of his dragon form. He walks towards you calmly and extends his hand to shake hands.
"Then she will accompany you on your travels for now, or until she deems otherwise. Take care of her. May our paths not cross for a long time."
"Oh, and take this."
He passes you a crystal. It's a blackish purple with a sheen. "It is a Draconic Flare. One use only, after which it'll turn to dust. It'll call me to you to help you in battle. With luck, you'll never need to use it."
He turns to face his daughter. "Have fun, Lyinsa. If you ever need me, just say, I'll come straight to you. Stay safe out there." "Dad, don't worry, I'll be fine." "That's my girl."

Mistake part IV!
"Then it is done. I must depart. I've got...business, to deal with."
He reverts to his dragon form and climbs into the sky, then in an instant there was a flash of red light as the air around him set ablaze and a massive shock wave that shook the earth as he went to full speed towards the east.
Ben Wolfheart Greyson is awestruck, but the young Dragon Lyinsa turns to the party and says, "You all heard my name. What's yours?"
"Oh, and sorry about my Dad, he takes his work seriously. If he doesn't continue with it, the universe would breakdown. He's got a list, you see. He has to go along it. He can be in more than one place at once."
She changes into her human form. She's wearing purple leather armour covering her chest, with purple cloth covering her arms and legs. She has long black hair and purple eyes, shining dimly in the day.

Re: Roll to Dodge - Fantasy
Scratch that, typing this up on phone. It's very, very important.
Emergency plot rollback
For the sake of the entire plot, the RtD and all other things in this RtD, including it's continuation, I am rolling this back to the point where the note appeared. The plot was going along splendidly until then. Then, I threw it all away.
I did this roll in the late night, and did that dialogue in the morning over five or so hours nearly. In the full knowledge that I am tired beyond belief, I am rolling this thread backwards.
This means that everything past the point of the note has not occured. Consider it an alternate universe if you want. Or a source of extra lore. Characters and events from it you might see later on in the correct plotflow, but otherwise it doesn't exist.
I must deeply apologize for this inconvenience. I've got the taste of bile in my throat thanks to the disgust at which I have towards how I threw my plot into the bin, so I am begging for your forgiveness to make this right. I will give each of you players a free skill level in any skill you want, even your racial trait.
So, once again, I apologise for the inconvenience but with the entire plot thrown into the trash by one stupid ♥♥♥♥ mistake on my part, I have no choice but to roll this story back.
So, here we are plot wise. I seriously dropped the ball before but I promise not to do so again. Everything before this point is still canon, but after the note point, nada.

"The correct answer is it isn't. I am the balance in the system, the final check that maintains the cycle. Even without my existence the wounded would never die, the starving and poisoned never getting their relief."

"For one bearing the title of 'Death,' you have the power to heal as well, which somewhat strikes me as an oddity."
You poke and rub your chest to make sure it is all as it should be. He has completely repaired your armour, too, and there is not even a scratch on you. You make a plain, average face as you look at the titanic dragon.
Paladin Oaks wrote:
"And, would you really fly to Terrisar yourself? The kingdom that exists to worship the gods of the world? You cannot expect the gods to idly watch as you wreak havoc on their holy land."
"Your gods are the same ones that watched the world be destroyed and remade a hundred times over by our wars. Together, they might be able to fight me equally. I am the last of the Elemental Dragons, the ones with *true* power. If I visit the resting site of each of the other Dragons, I would absorb their power. Death, Life, Air, Fire, Water and Earth united under one control."
"Your gods would stand little chance. As little as you do now."
"Four minutes."
Now I am going back to bed because I desperately need sleep. As I said, let me repair my ♥♥♥♥ up.

Re: Roll to Dodge - Fantasy
Okay cool now I can break Amelia.
> In my attempts at logical thinking, go through a fly-by of my life, the harsh farm work to the strict teachings to the feeling of betrayal, and then finally, the hope that the gods actually do exist.
Smile, then chuckle, then laugh. Maniacally.
"I know why you are here! The gods have sensed my falter in my belief, and this is but a means to reaffirm it."
Face Alaris now, with a crazed glee in my eyes.
"Show me, Alaris! Show me your might, and show me the might of my gods! Go to Terrisar!"
Because ♥♥♥♥ good ideas.

Re: Roll to Dodge - Fantasy
DM NOTE : The story is now going the way it was originally planned. This is a plot critical moment, hence why I needed to do the rollback. Doing it the otherway would've thrown away several weeks work in an instant.

"Perhaps I have."
"As for your golems, nothing lasts forever."

You go through your life in reflection as you burst out laughing and stare at Alaris. He doesn't respond in anyway till your second sentence.
Paladin Oaks wrote:

A note flys through the air towards you. Alaris doesn't seem to be able to see it. You catch it and again, Alaris doesn't react to your movement.
The note says, Play for time, another thirty seconds or so. I've got a plan, whatever you do, keep him here. CM
After some thought, Alaris says, "You wish to see Terrisar burn, do you? Then let us depart. It won't take more than twenty seconds of your remaining four minutes." he extends his hand for you to step onboard.
EDIT : good god I feel so terrible about this thread. I'm going to be absent for a little while. I need time to think.

"Amelia!" "Is it a good plan to tempt entropy?"
"Alaris, as one not alive and made of nothing I petition you. Is there nothing you find valuable here in this world? What pulled you from your path to squash a group of mites like ourselves? Leave us be. It would be like turning a knife on a microbe."
>Render my speech crystal clear, layering higher tones in an effort to ping off of the dragon and break down his structure for memory.
(I'd like to use this unexpected boon of a skill to tier up to Observer II.)

Re: Roll to Dodge - Fantasy
WHOA! I completely missed that last roll. No wonder I had no idea what was going on. Sorry for not actioning earlier, thought my train with polearms action was still up.
Also: Conjuration III Get on the hand. FOR REAL, GET. ON. THE. HAND. "Where's your modesty dragon? Gloating about your power is a sign of weakness. If there's one thing I've learned it's that for every ounce of pride you have you fall with a pound of shame."
Pissing of the huge as ♥♥♥♥ dragon, brilliant idea.

> You know the gravity of the End-All. Reach out, and grab, pull, jerk at Amelia's collar, sleeve, anything, and back hand her as hard as you can, then several times over. " Amelia!! Do you think yourself greater than the End-All, let alone your own gods, or the Harbinger's herald? Do you think that all of Terrisar would want, or need to withstand an inferno that not even your gods can defend against, for your petty games? "
> More or less, convey the direness of the situation with fervency, and battery. " What leader-- Nay! What a miscreant street ladylike are you!? Your fervent piety is blind; your intents perverse, and desperate! "
> Otherwise seethe, and recoil from the giant ♥♥♥♥ dragon.
