The assault on Salty Pier

[Nephrite]

"Oh, absolutely not." Moore says firmly. "There are of course similarities -- intensity, pursuit of goals, that sort of thing. But no, absolutely not. Also, you probably shouldn't mention him while we're here. It's, uh... a delicate subject."

[Anastasia]

Xandra smiles at that, flying on.

"I got the impression," Jetina agrees, as...

Plan here?

[Nephrite]

Head up and to wherever the most obvious 'main' entrance is, if there is one. He's expecting someone's going to probably stop him at some point between now and then but that's his goal!

[Anastasia]

There's two 'main' entrances to choose from.

There's a great gate at the base of the castle, a wall surrounding the palace proper. It's manned by dragonborn guards.

There's a vast balcony a few stories up, where dragons land and take off from. Even from here, you can see space ripple, dragons larger than it landing and only taking up a small part of it.

[Nephrite]

Although he could manage something impressive with magic, the whole point of this is to beg a favor from the Dragon God. With that in mind...

"Over there." Moore points towards the gate at the base of the castle as he starts to fly there.

[Anastasia]

The dragonborn guard this gate, open and yet with a large force defending it. As you approach, a dragonborn in polished armor and a careful gaze approaches. "Hail, those who approach the palace of Bahamut."

[Nephrite]

Moore raises a hand in greeting and switches to Draconic to be respectful. "Greetings, noble dragonborn. We seek an audience with the King of Good Dragons." Moore says, as he flutters in place.

[Anastasia]

The dragonborn has a bronze cast to his scales, a metallic gleam that mixes and reflects the light of Chronias from above. "Then come, any can petition Bahamut so long as they are brave and forthright. Who are you, good sir?"

[Nephrite]

"My name is Moore, Duke of Songs of Celestia." Moore answers. "These are my comrades, Jetina of Raziel and Xandra of Celestia." He gestures to them each in turn.

[Anastasia]

"I am Ixen," The dragonborn introduces himself, "You may come with me, Duke Moore."

Jetina falls in with you as Xandra hovers along.

[Nephrite]

"Thank you, Ixen." Moore says. "By all means, please lead the way."

[Anastasia]

Anything you wanna do here or just along for the ride?

[Nephrite]

He will just follow along and take in the sights since it's his first visit!

[Anastasia]

Okay, Perception.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 66!
