Alyssa calls Emily in.

[Anastasia]

Emily comes right in, "Alyssa?" she asks you as...

Go for it, whatever your plan is here.

[Iron Dragoon]

"I have an idea for dealing with Bahamut. I was planning on presenting him with a trophy, something I make with the Words and perhaps some draconic power so it would be unique. I know the typical things he's in conflict with, but I don't exactly have a dragon on hand to ask for advice. Except you, daughter of a dragon.

Any ideas as to what type of enemy I should make a trophy of, and what?"

[Anastasia]

"Hmmm."

A long thought before, "You may think that an evil dragon would make a good idea. But the truth is that no, it's not the best. Remember, even the most vile chromatic dragon is still an intelligent being. Would you like it if the skull of your enemy was given to you as a gift, or its flesh made into armor? A better trophy is a valiant deed. He is a paladin, what better would he respect?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"You're a Paladin. You tell me. My first thought is some sort of... Purified artifact or the like."

[Anastasia]

"I...just did." Emily says slowly, "Weren't you listening?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"A valiant deed, yes, but that's not something specific. I need something I can build a target list from, and then gather information on."

[Anastasia]

"Something heroic. Smite some evil. Save the day. Help people," Emily says, "Things that matter, Alyssa."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hmm... Do we know if any of his enemies are slavers? If we could take over and secure one and then turn control of it over to him to serve as an outpost or temple, that might do the trick."

[Anastasia]

"Some are," Emily says, "Evil tends to be evil." With a small, sad smile, "You see it repeat again and again, so I think you're on the right track now."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Alright, let's gather some info on potentials. You're a Paladin, have a hate for slavers, and grew up around dragons, so you'll be the best judge of which target is the best option. I'll let you know when I have a few options."

[Anastasia]

"Alright, say the word when," Emily says agreeably, "It's always worth my time to stop them."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods and begins her search!

[Anastasia]

Where, who and what are you looking into precisely? I'll call for a check depending on details.

[Iron Dragoon]

Where, I dunno. But who and what: cross referencing who I know to be his enemies with any information I can dig up on which of them are known for being involved with slavery. Then legend lore, scrying, and possible Bastian/Brightwater for details.
