[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Karathak

You move to return to the roof.  As you take a circuitous path to avoid suspicion, it takes you awhile.  You do pass Ganjgrimoure after you manage to have made it to the temple, and start circling back to the roof.  The two of you have a short conversation, where he mentions that your other two siblings that were on the roof had found a set of scrolls within one of the buildings within the city.  Soon after this, you both say your farewells, and, as he walks off towards the temple, you continue heading over to the rooftop, on the chance that someone might still be there.  You wind up running into Calemvir on the way there, and, after accidentally waking him up, speak with him.  While you are speaking with him, Avressel shows up, having been looking for the two of you, as well as the others.

Zalmorai

You return the meat to the city, but it takes a fair deal of time carrying both of the corpses, however, you, by some level of luck, run into Rozask, and the two of you both take them into the city.  You both manage to bring it to a building near where all six of you each claimed a building for yourselves to act as a home.  On the roof, you proceed to skin the corpses.  You'll have to get Avressel or Calemvir to properly preserve the meat, however, as they are the only ones with an element that can effectively cook the meat to a state where it will last longer.

Avressel

You leave Zalmorai behind as you move forwards into the city.  You arrive there at an average pace and proceed with your search.  It takes awhile, but you manage to see Calemvir and Karathak in one of the streets, and head over to them.

Ganjgrimouire

You head out for the temple.  On your way, you wind up running into Karathak, who was coming from the direction of the temple.  The two of you converse for a short while, and, after you mention the scrolls Calemvir and Rozask had found, you go your separate ways.  You head into the temple, and wind up returning to the room you and Karathak had discovered.  You notice that some of the scrolls appeared to have been moved around.  Karathak must've looked at a few of them.  With some appearing to have been taken down, then put back up, you guess you can safely assume that you are able to look through the scrolls without damaging them.

Calemvir

You manage to find a relatively dark alcove within a partially collapsed building.  You begin to take a short nap, but are interrupted by Karathak knocking over some debris that makes enough noise to wake you up.  Meeting her out on the streets, you begin to speak with her, and, after a short period of time, Avressel shows up, having been looking for the two of you, as well as your other siblings.

Rozask

As you proceed to head out, you wind up running into Zalmorai.  You help him expedite her journey back to the city by having both of you carry one of the corpses.  You both manage to bring it to a building near where all six of you each claimed a building for yourselves to act as a home.  On the roof, you proceed to skin the corpses.  You'll have to get Avressel or Calemvir to properly preserve the meat, however, as they are the only ones with an element that can effectively cook the meat to a state where it will last longer.

Oh, hi Avri! Where've you been? And, for that matter, what is it you want with me and Cali? By the way, if you need Ganji, I think he went off the the temple.

[Shadestyle]

Curious devil, I suppose a guinea pig was necessary though." I grin like a mad man and begin to study until my stomach or sleepiness tells me to do otherwise.

"I was hunting with Zal, when we encountered these strange two-legged creatures culling the food. I think it best that we gather and discuss these things; they carried teeth of steel and seemed brighter than most simple predators. There is danger in this matter, sister, but possibly an opportunity as well."

"I was hunting with Zal, when we encountered these strange two-legged creatures culling the food. I think it best that we gather and discuss these things; they carried teeth of steel and their forms appeared to match those who built this place."

(No...)

You look down over the ruins from the highest balcony of the temple as the sun begins to set.  At least, you and your siblings believe it to be a temple.  None of you are truly certain of what everything in this place once was.  You believe it to be a city, though its overgrown nature makes it difficult to tell whose it was.  As you were all hatched within the ruins, and you had discovered the remains of some others whom all of you believe to be other members of your kind, you think that it may have been that of a dragon.  None of you are quite certain how you all know what you are, just that it came to your minds when you questioned who you were.  With it came basic articulation and a rudimentary ability to read the various scrolls, so it coming to you may have been something natural to you.

(I was trying to imply by the line that I have bolded here, from the OP, that the city was built by dragons.)

[Prudent Viper]

Humph. Perhaps it was necessary for you to have woken me up, Karathak. We should find the others. I will do my very best not to doze off!

((Ah. I was assuming that dragons are not naturally city-builders, due to population size, behavioral tendencies, and the material requirements for structures fitting older dragons, and that those remains indicated that some dragons resided there. Actually, how big is it? Because if it's a city-city, that's a fucking huge number of dragons! o.0 Edited in any case.))

[Prudent Viper]

((Question. Are we humanoid dragons, or traditionally shaped dragons? I've been operating under the latter assumption.))

((Question. Are we humanoid dragons, or traditionally shaped dragons? I've been operating under the latter assumption.))

((Well, our shape and size were comapred to wolves, so I'd think the latter.))

[Worldmaster27]

(Is there a chance of our prey being stolen if we leave it alone? If so...)

"Good, thank you. I will watch our prey and ensure that no scavengers will take it from us."

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

((Question. Are we humanoid dragons, or traditionally shaped dragons? I've been operating under the latter assumption.))

((Well, our shape and size were comapred to wolves, so I'd think the latter.))

(It is the latter.  I did have a post prepared about draconic society, and their general biology, but some stupid keyboard shortcut caused it to be lost.)

Too late? Wait list maybe?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Grausch

Appearance: Dark grey scales with deep black eyes and wickedly sharp claws and multi-rowed teeth. Possesses a long sinuous body that portrays more of a serpentine than draconic appearance.

Personality: Generally apathetic except when hungry. Greatly enjoys feeding and will go to great lengths to ensure that there is always plenty of food available for feasting nearby. Preferably food that doesn't require too much effort but if not, he's more than willing to go do whatever it takes to get some. His desire to consume things may in part be a result of his element being entropy and the process of his devouring nature can even extend to the surroundings which will wither and die or turn to ash while he is in the process of glutting himself.

Element: Entropy

b-bump?

Karathak, Calemvir, and Avressel

You three head off in search of your siblings.  You begin with heading out to search for Ganjgrimouire and Zalmorai, but run into the latter fairly quickly.  You manage to convince her to aid you in your search for Ganjgrimouire before she goes out to find a herd.  When you head through the plaza, you also wind up coming across Rozask, who wants to have either Calemvir or Avressel to help prepare the meat for storage.  The group manages to convince him to help search for Gangrimouire first, as the temple is quite large.  Karathak then mentions that she and him had found a room that contained several scrolls, so it is possible he might be in there.  When you all arrive at said room, you find the sibling in question pouring over a set of scrolls upon the desk.

Zalmorai

You head out of the city to search for a herd to keep an eye upon.  However, before you make it out of the city, you run into Karathak, Calemvir, and Avressel, who manage to convince you to help them search for Ganjgrimouire.  When you head through the plaza, you also wind up coming across Rozask, who wants to have either Calemvir or Avressel to help prepare the meat for storage.  The group manages to convince him to help search for Gangrimouire first, as the temple is quite large.  Karathak then mentions that she and him had found a room that contained several scrolls, so it is possible he might be in there.  When you all arrive at said room, you find the sibling in question pouring over a set of scrolls upon the desk.

Ganjgrimouire

You gather up a multitude of scrolls and place them upon the desk.  It takes a short while before you find one that is conductive to your element, but you result in discovering a scroll that describes how to perform a Shadow technique, wherein you can dive directly into the shadows, and jump out at another point connected to it.  It warns that if there is a disruption of the part of the shadow you are traveling through that causes it to split in two, if you are not used to using your powers, the disconnect will split your body in two as well.  If you have a great deal of skill, it will only cause you to be dragged out into the normal world.  However, before you have a chance to study further, the rest of your siblings arrive, apparently having been led by Karathak to this location.

Rozask

You head out to search for Calemvir or Avressel.  When you head through the plaza, you also wind up coming across both of them as well as Karathak and Zalmorai.  The group manages to convince you to help search for Gangrimouire first, rather than splitting off for Calemvir or Avressel going with you to prepare the meat, as the temple is quite large.  Karathak then mentions that she and him had found a room that contained several scrolls, so it is possible he might be in there.  When you all arrive at said room, you find the sibling in question pouring over a set of scrolls upon the desk.

"Hello brothers and sisters, what business have you? You know this particular technique could kill me or something if i get distracted from learning every little bit of it."
