The hoard: always (Surraruthru, 84 days left)

[Anastasia]

"You." 27 says, plainly.

[Iron Dragoon]

"What do you mean? Was I supposed to do something specific?"

[Anastasia]

"You don't survive to it," 27 says mournfully.

[Iron Dragoon]

"What is it that you see killing me?"

[Anastasia]

"A dragon," 27 says, "A big red dragon. Please don't go out tomorrow."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Tomorrow? Only tomorrow? Does this dragon have a name? I can have some of the diviners look into it."

[Anastasia]

27 shakes his head. "Just stay here tomorrow," he says, as your spell returns the exact same thing.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru looks a little suspicious.

"Do you know the reason I would be leaving Aurora tomorrow? If there's a compelling reason for it, I might not be able to resist if I don't know about it ahead of time. Especially if the reason involves Seira, since she's a red dragon and the one I follow."

[Anastasia]

"Just stay here tomorrow," 27 says blandly. "It can happen in many ways. Not all enemies are the true threat."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hm. I'll do my best to find something to research here, then. What about the Chaos Diamond? That ritual will take time to complete correctly."

[Anastasia]

Charisma check.

[Iron Dragoon]

Cha check.

27 coughs violently and suddenly a great big diamond is hacked up at you!

Reflex save.

[Iron Dragoon]

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+7 : 20 + 7, total 27[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

Your reflex save is only +7? It's a 20 either way  so irrelevant.

You nimbly catch the diamond with both claws. It's a diamond about the size of a fist, perfectly polished and smooth.
