Surraruthru takes a moment to inspect the ice cauldron, trying to determine if it's normal ice or magically strengthened.

It looks normal enough. It's nice, and unless you study it for active magic, there's not much of a way to tell. However, some of those type of effects are instantaneous, which means it happens and then is done, no more magic.

Odds are it is just ice, though.

"Yes, I agree that is an appropriate amount of gold. If you fill it and hand it over, we'll consider it penance for interfering with us and for petty banditry. Call it a donation to the Aurora War Fund, if you must assuage your pride. If that's distasteful to you, we can simply take everything you have."

Surraruthru says this with absolute confidence, but watches the strange creature, readying a Chain Dispell to counter his next spell.

"You have no idea what foolishness your sin drives you to," Ebony says stonily, "You stand at the precipice of eternal damnation. Turn away or be immolated for all time."

Kascha smiles, "Would you face a creature of legend?" she asks, before stepping back and expanding. Behind you is now a phoenix, Kascha's burning body causing the waters around her to boil. Her voice is a shrill cry of defiance, a great cry that echos amid this place and chases the fleeing sharks.

Make an intimidate check, +4 circumstance bonus on top of it. Kascha and Ebony will attempt to aid.

Unfortunately for him, arrogance seems to override fear.


Despite your display, the creature holds his ground. Nonetheless his eyes narrow at this display, "You think to command and disregard me? What you see here is only a splinter, for I am a dragon! All of winter fears me!"

"And we are far more than a mere dragon. We stood against Bahamut and Tiamat and returned to speak of it. You, a mere shape changed dragonling," Ebony drawls this in draconic, letting derision enter her voice, "You think you can challenge us?"

"We could use a sending and let our resident Prismatic Dragon let him know someone wishes to challenge him. I'm sure it wouldn't take long for him to arrive."

Surraruthru grins toothily.

The shark creature's expression twists into a foul grimace, "You're lying," he declares, though his voice shakes a little bit. Cracks.

"Celestials lying," Kascha trills, "Do you really believe that?"

"Two Celestials and a dragon. A dragon trying to become a Celestial. And you think we're lying? No, you don't. You're just trying to assuage your pride. I can understand that as a fellow dragon, but come now. All of winter? You're obviously a White. You're here because of the advantage the plane gives you and the power vacuum. We're not here to move into your territory, we just want what we came for and we'll be on our way."

Make diplomacy now, Surraruthru. +7 circumstance bonus, he's pretty worked over.

Total of 55. DC was 30 since despite his pride, enough things were happening to make him think twice.


"Oh yes," Kascha says, "You see, we're looking for things for Surraruthru's hoard. If you could help, that would be kind of you."

Ebony considers this, "Yes. Yes, that would be. Avarice has nearly lead you into ruin, friend," she advances towards him freely, "Baator is close after that. Tell me, do you cherish the feeling of hellfire on your immortal soul, white wyrm? Sacrifice and generosity are an excellent tonic to cure avarice." She reaches him, the shark-creature not resisting as she reaches out and takes a hold of his chin. "There is still time. We have not sent your soul screaming into the Lake of Fire. Your hoard is a disgusting display of your sin, you wear it like a prize. Repent! Rid yourself of it and rid yourself of your sin!" Throughout all this she speaks softly but powerfully, projecting her voice to carry.

DC was 55. The situation and Ebony's skill were sufficient.


The possible dragon stares at all this, then into Ebony's eyes. It shudders violently, "Stop! Stop! Stop!" It cries out, "Whatever all of you are, stop!"

"Only you can stop it now, since you started the situation. Your corruption led you here, only you can get yourself out of it. I'd heed her words. She is, after all, quite knowledgeable in this."

The shark creature makes a sound somewhere between a cry and a whimper, pulling something off its finger and shoving it into Ebony's hands. It swims back in a frenzy, turning and fleeing from the party.

Ebony meanwhile looks down at her hands, and once he's gone, "I do believe we've talked a dragon into giving up wealth to repent its sin of avarice." She turns and smiles warmly, "We've done well today." She comes on over and presents the item given to her to Surraruthru. It's a gold ring, topped with a white gemstone.

Loot.

Surraruthru stares in awe of Kascha and Ebony.

"I would never have thought you could have accomplished that. Obviously I have much to learn to become a Celestial."

He then tucks the ring away.

"Well then, should we continue?"
