Dragon Hunt

[sticko_69]

some of you may remember Dragon purge this thread will be much the same but will be at the end of the war of the lance. the Goldern general has smashed the Dragon armies into disaray the blue dragon army is holding togeather but the others are falling apart. this however dosnt stop them from trying to gain power again. the armies have turned into small warbands but the fact they still have dragons makes them a danger.

this thread is about the fall of the dragon high lords. in this thread the good dragons and there riders hunt down the evil dragons to stop the dragon armies reforming.

Metallic Dragons
Brass Dragons
The brass dragons are like their blue cousins: they prefer the arid regions of Krynn to any others. Brass dragons believe in the idea that might makes right, but are no more selfish than the other dragons. When confronted by an enemy, a brass dragon will use his breath weapons—a seeping gas or a wave of heat—to drive off his enemies and use his magic second.

Bronze Dragons
Bronze dragons live near bodies of water, whether it is salty or fresh. Bronze dragons possess the same breath weapon as do the blue dragons, but they also have a repulsive gas which they may breathe on their enemies. Bronze dragons dislike war, and will use ESP to determine an enemy's intentions before battle.

Copper Dragons
The smallest metallic dragons prefer the mountainous regions of Krynn for their lairs. They are the most self-centered and selfish of the good dragons, but this by no means makes them evil. Copper dragons breathe gas of slowness, followed by non-destructive spells. If these fail to deter their enemies, then they unleash their acidic breath weapon on them.

Gold Dragons
These dragons are known to become scholars and wizards, keeping spellbooks like their human counterparts. Golds prefer the mountains, and are the largest of the metallic dragons. Like their red cousins, gold dragons breathe a cone of fire, but they also have the ability to create chlorine gas. Golds use their spells before any other weapon when entering a battle.

Silver Dragons
Silver dragons choose homes close to human and demihuman habitations, preferring the company of humans to dragons. They have the ability to shapeshift, which assists them in this endeavor. Silver dragons are beloved by the people of Krynn. They breathe a cloud of gas which paralyzes their enemies, followed by a cone of cold. Gwynneth (Heart), the silver dragon upon whom Huma Dragonbane rode into battle against the Dark Queen is the most famous silver dragon.

this thread was extreamly popular last time so we have put limits on it we are having only 5 dragons and 5 riders to enter this thread you must have a partner one dragon one rider and PM me the great Sticko or cunning Calus with your charaters remember you need a partner.

OOC:
Name: Byzantic
Gender: Male
Race: Brass Dragon
Weapons: Sleeping gas, fire breath and general body parts
Rider: Draco
Bio: Byzantic awoke from the call of Paladine, his eggs were stolen from his and his mate's lair. They sought revenge, each flying out and trying to kill any of the Dark Queen's army, they managed to take out two green dragons, before Byzantic's partner was killed. He flew on and managed to avenge his partners death, and was able to kill some ground units that belonged to the dark queen. As he searched for his partner's body, he saw a young man huddled near a tree, that was the first time Byzantic had met his rider Draco, he flew Draco back to safety, giving up in trying to find his partner's body.

[sticko_69]

Name: Draco
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Weapons: spear, bow and sword
Mount: Byzantic
Bio: Draco was once Sir Draco Uth marter Knight of the sword now he was Draco he had been for three years he had left the knight hood by choce. a choce he didnt look back at he was now free to live by his own honor code not by a measure that was outdated. Draco had always admired dragons in the tales told of their might but he had no words to describe being saved by one now Byzantic was his friend and it was then that Draco was reborn.

[DarkKnight921]

Name: Markulas
Gender: Male
Race: Minotaur
Weapons: throwing daggers
Mount: Braven
Bio: A new war cleric of Mishakal. He is shunned by minotaurs for turning away from their natural born Diety, Sargonnas. After being kicked out of his home, he travelled to Ansalon, hoping he would be more welcome here. Although he is on the side of good, he is still ridiculed (sp) and frowned upon by the citizens. they look at him in fright instead of hope and friendship. He wants his image of evil, to be turned into an image of justice, goodness, and rightiousness. His dragon mount, Braven, feels much the same way, which is why they are teamed together.

[Dante]

Name: Braven
Gender: Male
Race: Gold dragon
Weapons: fire breath, chlorine gas, spells and general body parts.
Rider: Markulas
Bio: even though Braven's name has brave in it, he surely is not. during the beginning of the war he was mocked and critized by his fellow dragons for fleeing a battle, and one time almost killed. time and time again he tried to prove that he wasn't, but the fear of dying stopped him. when he found Markulas and he became his mount, he seemed to found his courage and has started to prove that he can fight in battle.

[Calus]

Byzantic flew above the tree line, his brass scales reflecting the sunset that was behind him, he was flying East, East to the rest of the Army of the Solamnics. He swooped up in the air and gently landed on the edge of a cliff edge, and let his rider off, they had a lovely view of the landscape and sunset. But it wasn't the time to admire the beauty of nature.

OOC: Well I liked Dragon Purge and this one, so i will post in it. Who needs all five dragons? not us, come on guys this get this one started.

[DarkKnight921]

OOC: Geez, about time this started lol

BIC:
The sun had just set, and the first moon, Solinari was rising as Markulas sat down in his tent on the outskirts of the solamnic camp. He did not live with the other soldiers of the army. He wasn't like them, he was a minotaur. And because of this fact, he was an outsider. Not only was he a minotaur, but he was also a cleric, a very rare thing in the days following the War of The Lance.

He sat at a table, with only a candle to light his small tent, as he awaited his dragon companion, Braven, who took human form while in the company of the army. They were to meet up with Byzantic and Draco, champions from the west, to search out and destroy the remaining dragon highlords of Takhisis' army. It was a mission set upon them with honor and hope. The outcome of it would decide the future of Krynn.

[Dante]

Braven just returned from a good hunt when the sun set. he changed into his human form, a man with brown hair that had streaks of gold in various places. he walked into the camp and said hello to other fellow comrades and knights. he grabbed a cup of hot water and left the campsite to go find his rider, Markulas.

he knocked on the tent door and entered. "you know," he said, "just because you're a minotaur doesn't mean you should isolate youself from your comrades. you should socialize, get to know them better." he took a seat next to Markulas.

[DarkKnight921]

Markulas looked up from his work. They were the orders from his commander. "Why should i get to know them, if they don't take the time to get to know me? Hm? THe only comments they make to me are rude remarks and gestures. And do you know why the commander gave us this mission, Braven? I'm an outcast, from a different land with different customs, he wants me gone as well!" Mark slammed his fist on the table in frustration, "It's hard here, I'm kind of glad we're leaving them, I might be able to get a good nights rest while on the mission, not staying up, worrying about what 'they' think of me," He changed the subject, not wanting to get more angry, " How long do you estimate until Draco and Byzantic arrive?"

[Dante]

Braven wanted to talk to him, to tell Markus how to be social and get along with people that hated him, for he knew how, having many experiences with it in his life, but he respected him and changed the subject as he wished.
"i don't know," Braven said, "i'd thought that they would already be here, but," he shrugged, "guess they aren't here. they should hurry up."

[Laz Dragonslayer]

cool basis sticko

[Laz Dragonslayer]

is it too late for me 2 join?oh wait i need a partner. never mind.

[sticko_69]

Draco loved flying of cause he wasnt flying but he loved the feeling of flight the rushing wind wipping his wild hair straight back his arms out streached as he held on with his legs. he was at peace he had this bond now that no knight hood could have granted him he remembered times like this. just the two of them and the empty sky in rain or sunshine free from the earth. free form life diveing in and out of clouds he could think of nothing he would rather do. the landing was gracfull Draco slipped from the saddle and dusted him self of the amount of dust that came with landing also made him wish they didnt have to land. he motioned for his mount to follow.

[Calus]

Byzantic growled slightly and began to shrink, instead of his scales, fur began to grow, the wings receded into the body, the neck shortened and also started to grow fur. The head lost it's point and the eyes grew more rounded, the horns slid into the furry head, and the frilly parts on the dragon's head formed furry long ears. The teeth became smaller and some disappeared. The tail shortened to a small furry tail, the legs shrank and the claws became paws.
What was a great Brass dragon was now golden retriever with a slight darkening of the golden fur, to give a brass colour. He followed Draco.

[sticko_69]

Draco was smileing at Byzantic form he was become fond of it reminding him of childhood memories. Draco aproched the candle light and saw the shape looming over head as big as two men and as strong as four his horns were as good as any weapon he was glad he was on his side. Draco also notted the other person standing nere the minatour no doubt a dragon in human form. "Greetings Markulas" Draco called as he as he aproched the tent door.

[Calus]

Byzantic loved playing the faithful companion so he decided to keep quiet until he was needed to speak or change back.

[DarkKnight921]

Markulas looked away from the his companion as he heard a call from outside of his tent.
"It seems they have arrived," he commented to Braven. He moved away from the table and turned back the flap to see Draco, "Welcome to the Solamnic camp, I hope you find everything to your satisfaction?" He looked down at Byzantic, not knowing it was a dragon in disquise, "I have to admit though, I thought you were coming with a dragon, not a mut," a small grinn formed, he amused himself by his little remark.

[sticko_69]

Draco was even more amused by the remark "yes well beware he has a bite on him" Draco sat down looking at the maps "hmm i guess we have resived orders from the rightess good that is the knighthood then"

[Calus]

Byzantic smiled and moved slowly over to where Draco was sitting and laid down next to his chair.

[Dante]

Braven watched as the two newcomeres walked into their tent. there was a man who took a seat next to him, and a dog. a dog? he asked himself. but then he looked closer and saw that it was not a dog, but a dragon in disguise. he smiled. he got up and took a seat on the left side of the dog. he put his mouth to its ear and whispered, "i've never seen a dragon disguise himself as a dog before."

[Calus]

Byzantic rolled over onto his back and lifted his legs sligthly, wanting his belly scratched.

[Dante]

Braven gave out a heart-filled laugh. this "dog" amused him. apparently the dragon liked being a dog and the attention that they get. he saw that the dog wanted his belly scratched and lifted his hand and started to scratch his belly. the dogs left leg went nuts.

[DarkKnight921]

EDIT: Sorry about the DP, didnt mean to.


Draco was even more amused by the remark "yes well beware he has a bite on him" Draco sat down looking at the maps "hmm i guess we have resived orders from the rightess good that is the knighthood then"

Markulas looked at Brav and the dog play on the floor. and raised an eyebrow. he then shook his head, it was times liek these that he didn't understand why dragons were so feared.

He turned to Draco, "The rightious knighthood? Is that mockery I hear in your voice?" Markulas asked amusingly. He then took their orders out of a chest he kept in the corner of the tent and handed them to Draco, "Feel free to share them with your dog, whom I suspect is your dragon, the commander told me u were coming with one."

[sticko_69]

"well they need some sort of a form to be when not a dragon it so helps that a dog will never get guessed as one" he laughted at this himself due to the amount of people who had got a big suprise in the past. he looked over some parchment most of it was knight hood jargin about nothing really faith and income noot war and fighting. "so any ideas on the plan at this stage.

[DarkKnight921]

"We are to travel to a small town in Northern Ergoth called Artrie," Markulas put his finger down on a section of the map on his desk. " In the mountians just east of the town," He ran his finger along the map to the mountians, "there is said to be a dragon hiding out. The knighthood suspects that it is one of the remaining dragon highlords and a small band of brigands. Evidence of this is that other small villages have been raided numerous times." He looked up from the map and locked eyes with Draco, "This is dangerous, just u, I, and the two dragons. If we survive we are to report back this camp. still up for it?"

[Calus]

Byzantic didn't see the point in hiding his ignorance anymore, and he had just had a nice scratch, he barked once in agreement to the minotaur's question.

[sticko_69]

Draco looked at his dragon well he couldnt turn back now he guessed. "dose it ever acure to you we always get these missions were we fight for our lives cause they wont wast knights on it" Draco hated the knight hood he hated the fact because he left they were trying to kill him. at least he had stollen a dragon lance befor he left he smiled at that thought.

[Calus]

Byzantic used his telepathy with his rider, "You really shouldn't worry, if they sent only two dragons and their riders, then this could be an easy mission."

[DarkKnight921]

Not knowing that the dog was talking to his rider, Mark answered "Perhaps they aren't trying to kill us? Perhaps they know that we are the best. Or maybe, they want you back in the knighthood, I for one do. You are a good fighter Draco, and they all know it."

[Dante]

as the the minotaur and the human conversed, he saw the ears on the "dog" raise. Braven heard something in the distance, but he didn't know what hit was. then the sound hit his ears, it was a horn, a horn telling everyone to prepare for battle. Markulas didn't hear it and neither did Draco. he got up from petting the "dog" and tapped on Markulas shoulders and whispered in his left ear, "the solamnics are preparing for battle, they sounded the horns."

[Calus]

Byzantic heard the horns, and as he ran out of the tent he said telepathecially, "He speaks the truth".

[DarkKnight921]

Markulas looked out the tent to see what they were up against. An army of about 1,400 dark knights and 600 draconians sat at their doorstep, banging loudly to come in. In the sky flew 3 blue dragon and with riders. Mark could jsut make out the shaped helms of dragon riders atop of them. In the lead rode a Dragon Highlord. In the distance he saw another two dragons approching. "Braven, perhaps this would be a good time to transform back into your original form, no?" Markulas said with a smirk, excited that a battle was about to be fought. He shivered with anticipation of riding on the back of his mount, the wind rushing through his fur covered body, "We cant rely on lances this battle though, not enough time to gear up. Old fashioned hand to hand, or claw to claw in your case, fight. Ready?"

[Dante]

Braven smiled. "of course im ready," he said, "i always am." Braven walked out of the tent and walked ten yards out. he stood there and held out his arms. suddently his arms grew golden scales and grew. from his back grew gold wings, forty feet long each. his nose turned into a snout, his eyes grew bigger and greener. in a matter of seconds he turned into his true form, that of a golden dragon. "grab the saddle," he commanded, "and hurry up, i can already hear the sounds of battle."

[Calus]

Byzantic ran out of the tent and stood a bit away from the gold and his rider, he and Draco had done this many a time, Draco stood over the dog/dragon one leg on either side of it. He changed and as Byzantic grew, Draco held the saddle up and engineered himself to ride the brass, as Byzantic reached his true form, Draco was already seated and ready.

[sticko_69]

OOC im going to pretend i didnt hear dark knight being mentioned in a war of the lance thread they dont come in till the choas war. so ill say they are human dragon army infintry.

the sea of men waved in the wake of there dragons the up roar of the war cry was only drowned out by the screach of dragon fear. the solamic camp was alive 200 knights had formed a van guard with almost 1000 men at arms there disaplined ranks rushed to meet the onslaught as the rest of the camp was mustering. Draco pulled the last strapo tight an tucked in the slack he hadnt the time to fit all his armour so he would sail into the sky in just his traveling leathers and his lance.

the lance was a gift from the golden general and he had griped it till his nuckles went white for the battle was joined.

[Calus]

Byzantic lifted himself off the floor and flew towards the blue dragons, arrows whizzed passed him as the dragonarmy sought to take them from the sky, he turned to face the first blue. He roared at his opponent, opening his mouth to release a power repulsion gas, it hit the dragon in the face, and it turned it's head away, Byzantic roared and went in for the kill. Byzantic was closing in close and the blue hadn't recovered in the time, he was going to let his rider take the kill, when a sizzling bolt of lightning passed between him and the other blue. Byzantic veered off and was followed by the another blue.

[sticko_69]

Draco was prepared for impact and curse when they had to vear of he tucked the lance in and drew an arrow he let the steel tiped death fly from his short bow at the enemy that was now in persuit the first went far of mark the second just missed the enemy rider who now had startling to Draco closed the distance with the second blue going for the dive on them "roll left my friend he called as he grip the sadle tightly.

[DarkKnight921]

OOC: Let's get this thing goin again guys! lol. By Dark knight I just mean evil knights btw. Im refeering to the non-solamnics, whom in this scenario, would be "dark knights"

BIC:
Markulas mounted Braven and took flight. They flew behind the other team of companions in the air. Mark loosed arrows at the ground troops while Draco and Byzantic took care of a couple dragons.

Mark heard Draco tell his mount to roll left and then he saw why. A blue was swooping down towards the pair. "Stay forward!" Markulas yelled to Braven. Byzantic glided left just as Braven made his attack. In the count of a heartbeat, the blue was sprayed with acid and falling to the ground. He thumped loudly onto about 4 dark knights and rolled over 4 others. The minotaur and his dragon flew along side the human and his mount now. Markulas looked over and say the brass and his rider eyeing him. He shrugged and flew forward with a smirk on his face, "It always impresses them, don't it, my friend?" He commented to his gold companion as he nocked another arrow and let it fly.
