Khyree's Story

Jungle Clearing

You look at your master with admiration as he–still, even in his old age–flawlessly executes a series of kicks to at least 5 blood raptors surrounding him. You doubt any of them were fatal blows, but each blow was masterfully placed. There’s no doubt each creature will be out of commission for hours. As even more seem to be emerging from the morass of vines and undergrowth, a larger raptor lunges toward him. He reacts with a spinning round kick as he leaps over the prone creatures–that just suffered his blows–and delivers a blow that sends the large jungle predator whimpering back into the dense, tangled vegetation.

A blood raptor leaps from a tree, landing directly in front of you in this small, oddly bare, elevated clearing where you and your master are being ambushed. An out-of-place circle of rocks surround you in the clearing. You can hear the screeching calls of other raptors on the ground below the elevated area where you stand and others in the nearby trees, perhaps ready to pounce. It sounds like there must be at least ten more in this pack.

OOC:

You have been training with Grekkor, your Ddragonborn Mystic Master, for a year since he found you near death in this jungle so you have everything on your character sheet...but more on that shortly.

What do you do?

Khyree whirls about with her quarterstaff two-handed and takes a whack at the raptor. Then, thrusts out with a side kick.

OOC:

Ooops! The first attack was supposed to be with the quarterstaff, two-handed.

Your quarterstaff squarely hits the beast, perhaps even harder than you intended because the blow knocked the creature just out of range of your kick that followed. The raptor momentarily stumbles then leaps toward you, jaws wide open.

Khyree's Story

As the predator lunges, trying to sink it's teeth into your neck, you quickly react by wedging your staff in its jaws. After a short but intense test of strength, you seizes the opportunity to use the raptor's force against itself. Just as it is about to overpower you, you shift your position and the pack beast stumbles away from you to your side. Although you remain relatively unscathed, you can feel that the struggle robbed you of some energy.

As you regain focus you can hear that Grekkor is now dealing with two screeching raptors.

OOC:

Khyree loses 5 HP. It is your turn to take action.

Khyree shakes off the draining feeling and swings the quarterstaff around again. Then lashes out with two quick fiery punches with her other hand.

OOC:

The random diceroller strikes again.

This time the creature's bite nearly closes on your shoulder, but you manage to slip out just before the powerful jaws snap completely shut. The fight is taking its toll and you hear more around the clearing. Grekkor has put down the two from before, but another is preparing to leap from a tree at him. You spot another getting ready to do the same toward you.

With a flaming trail, your staff strikes the beast across the side of its head. As you follow through, the creature's head turns under the force of your weapon and blood flies from its jaw. You are about to finish it with a fury of kicks but before you need to, the raptor falls to the ground motionless.

Just as it it does, two more leap from trees in front of you and another leaps out from the undergrowth beyond the clearing. Your master intercepts a raptor that lunges at him from a tree and, directing its momentum, heaves it into that same tangled vegetation. As he does he says calmly but firmly over the screeches of your attackers, "Kyree, focus the Breath of the Dragon. We shall center our Ki together."

Khyree focuses, with her quarterstaff held two-handed in a bar across in front of her to help defects attacks from the raptors. See feels the Ki rising through her and concentrating in her throat. With a roar of defiance, she breathes out the dragon's breath in a concentrated effort with that of her master.

Grekkor raises both hands in front of himself as if he is gathering mystic energy in them that he is about to push out toward you. Just as you roar with defiiance so does your master. Your efforts joined with Grekkor's produce an extra wide cone of mystic dragon flame that spreads out over the four frothing raptors that are getting ready to pounce as a group.

Khyree's Story

The mystic flames quickly subside and the four raptors that moments ago were ready to pounce lie still as chared unrecognizable heaps as your feet. You hear any other raptors that were waiting to attack in the bush scatter after the blast.

Your master has already turned his attention to the circle of stones. He closes his eyes and rests his hand on one of the stones. A moment later, a faint hum results and you see the circle begin to slightly glow. He pulls his hand away and opens his eyes. The stones return to their mundane state.

Grekkor stoically speaks, perhaps to remind himself to stay calm and focussed, not to engage in the distraction of excitement, as much as to remind you of the mission.

"This is the power circle we have been seeking. It can guide us to the other two if we are able to awaken its connection to the Ascendant Dragon. Yes. The three circles will reveal our order's ancient temple. There we will find the Dragon Amulet which finally will provide us the first step in locating any other dragonborn of our order that may exist in this physical world or their descendants touched by the Dragon. We will need rest, as our complete focus will be necessary to fully awaken this circle."

You know, even though he doesn't outwardly show it, that this is a monumentous moment for your master as he has spend decades--since leaving the temple in Malpheggi Swamp-- searching for the ancient temple of his people in these jungles. He has trained you to understand the Way of the Ascendant Dragon and to assist him in this endeavor.

Grekkor says, "You have done well Khyree." He pauses and looks at the circle of stones then into the jungle bush. "We indeed need rest, for it will take all our Ki to fully awaken this circle to the Dragon. We could attempt to find shelter nearby and come back here rested, or we can focus our draconic presence on these stones to awaken them enough to provide us a circle of protection while we rest. What do you think is the wise choice my apprentice?"

OOC:

If you choose to attempt to awaken the stones enough to provide a circle of protection, it will take a Persuasion check with a DC of 15. For each Ki you spend, you can add +1 to your roll (you only have 1 Ki left). Grekkor has five Ki left after the battle so his participation will add +5 to your roll. Therefore your roll would be 1d20+6 against a DC of 15. Due to your regular Draconic Presence feature, if you fail this Charisma based check you can reroll.

"I believe your judgment is wise. And I trust your instincts. We do not know how much energy we will use making our way back here after rest. So as you suggest let us call on the force of the Dragon to protect us in this circle now. Our order has created this location to be a direct connection to that force. And we should act quickly before more raptors come," attests Grekkor.

Grekkor drags some limp raptors outside of the stone circle and then kneels by one of the rocks. He rests his hand on it and closes his eyes. You take his lead on the other side of the circle, doing the same. You can feel the force surging in you and in the rock. You focus intently on persuading The Dragon to return once more to this circle. Again the stones begin to hum faintly and then glow. The hum grows in volume and intensity and the glow becomes continually brighter until the hum morphs into the sound of a dragon's roar and the now intense glow lifts from the rocks and circles around you and your master, taking the shape of two swirling dragons. When you open your eyes you see the inspiring force of the Ascending Dragon swirling around you. After a few moments the roars subside and the visible energy dissipates, but you can still clearly feel its presence.

Khyree can feel the power of the dragon tingling on her skin and through her whole being. She has never felt such an intense sensation before. Her eyes light up with the surge of adrenaline, that slowly begins to ebb as the visible energy dissipates. She has to sit down in the aftermath of it. Her knees go weak.
