Ahead lies...?

[Anastasia]

In that light the lizard cries out, a cry of pain as its eyes are shut tight.
Come.
A moment and another moment, then Dragon's eyes open. It peers at the rock, it peers at you and then it peers at the rock again. "What is it?"

[Nephrite]

"Mount Celestia." Moore says. "You're seeing its light from above."

[Anastasia]

"It scares me," Is the answer you get.

[Nephrite]

"It's terrifying." Moore agrees. "But so are many things if you don't understand them. I promise you that if you choose to follow the path of the Holy Mountain, you won't have any reason to fear it. It will protect you, and your lava lizard friends and family. It will give you as much heat as you want and need."

[Anastasia]

Switching to draconic, Kaja speaks up. "Plus, there is one there you should know about. Bahamut understands you and will help you."

"Will the light hurt me if I go?" Dragon asks.

[Nephrite]

Moore shakes his head. "I promise, no one there will ever hurt you if you walk the path. I'll be there too, if you want me to help you." He says. "All your friends can go as well, if you want, or they can wait here for you until you return."

[Anastasia]

Well, you managed to talk your way to a final Diplo check. Good luck.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 120. : )

THE FRIENDSHIP TRAIN RIDES AGAIN

[Anastasia]

"...your mind is strong," Dragon finally says, "You have a dragon with you. You five are legion."

[Nephrite]

"What do you want to do with your friends?" Moore asks as he gestures back towards the door.

[Anastasia]

"We are legion. We will come," Dragon says, yielding to your words and stone.

[Nephrite]

Moore looks over at Cresiel. "I don't know that we can keep a gate open long enough for all of them. Can you manage it with your magic?"

[Anastasia]

"We can cast multiple gates," Cresiel says, "Legion's Gates will do well."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. He turns back to Dragon. "In that case, we can begin when you are ready. It would make it easier if all of them can be present so it takes less time."

[Anastasia]

So you want to gather up who knows how many fire lizards are here and march them through portals?
