Sorry about taking so long, I'm having a little trouble finding the want to do this.
Anyway, just a question: How long can you last before you start wanting this RTD's turns and how long before you loose track of where you were? It's important because it's not a good thing making you guys wait or having you guys loose track of things.
I go over to Joseph and try healing him with a -1 modifier healing spell.
Grab the potion and ask Darin to make some kind of dragonscale gauntlets for my pincers to increase attack power.
After attempting to heal Joseph, and while waiting for Darin to finish the gauntlets, take Dostrich's advice and devour the heart. Then ask Dostricht how to keep some mutations while ditching others.
[6+1-1-1][Luck: 3]: You hold your ha-er... claws close to each-other and then aim your claws at Joseph. The spell is a little rough around the edges but it works, healing 4 HP.
Afterwards, you grab the potion of Critical Healing, and talky talk to Darin. He agrees to try.
You attempt to get into the dragon's heart. Only problem is you have pincers and cannot hold your sword, so that's not happen'in anytime soon unless you make a
Serious effort.
[Determination: 5-2]: You're really determined. You really freaking are. Though your small lungs aren't helping. [Luck: 5][Chaos: 2] You dig all the way to the heart. Avoiding much of the chaos. You grab it and hold it next to your mouth... [Determination: 4] Om. Nom.
Nom. Nom. Nom.Everyone stares at you, mouths wide open. Hmmm, Tasty-Oh god so much chaos AAAAAARRRGGGHHHHHH!
[Good/bad: 2, bad][Strength: 1, extremely small change][Mental/Physical: Mental][Passive/Active: Passive] You find it harder to think. Something vital in your mind is now missing...
[Good/bad: 4, good][Strength: 3, medium change][Mental/Physical: Physical][Passive/Active: Active] Your back extends as two bat-like wings form, ripping through your leather armor.

[1]: You try and try as you might, but you just don't seem to get it shaped like a pincer. Furthermore, no-one's hands can fit in it. You scrap your several failed attempts.

[5]: Despite having the intelligence of a walnut right now, you manage to sing your slurs so nicely that everyone else claps a little.
Nothing else happ-Oh hey, you're smarter now. You're now as smart as the average person, though still not as smart as you normally are.
+1 Chaos.If not already taken, Scroll of Invisibility, Minor Impact, Critical heal and stuff other people don't want (the bone can do thrown damage right? jk)
Polymorph IronyOwl's (currently useless) arms into normal human arms.
You grab the stuff listed besides the Critical Healing potion as Kirion already took it.
[2+1+2][Luck: 5]: You expertly Polymorph Darin's arms into what a normal human's arms should be like.
Despite him being basically a test subject for your polymorphing powers, he seems quite alright with them.
+1 Scroll of Minor Invisibility.
+1 Potion of Minor Impact.
Darin: Additional Boneless arms>Additional arms.
+1 Chaos.
I claim a Scrolls of Destroy Armor and Silence if not already claimed.
A try to gather up alot of dragon bone that could be turned into arrow heads later
Bottle up some dragons blood, pouring out the water first
You grab the Destroy Armor scrolls and the Silence scroll.
[3-1]: You attempt to get whatever you can from the dragon. You fail, wasting several nice bones. Oh well, at least you learned a tiny bit of crafting...
You grab the dragon's blood. Eww.
+2 Scrolls of Destroy Armor.
+1 Scroll of Minor Silence.
+1 Crafting skill.
+1 Chaos.Grab the best remaining armor

Take off the blindfold and gag, make fire in the bonfire very sticky with Fire Magic.
You take off the blind and the gag. [Spotting: 2+2] Is that a fist? [3+3] Yes, yes it is. Your chest nearly bursts from the very painful and powerful punch.

Nat: -3 HP.Place a shield arround myself that blocks light, leave tiny gaps in front of my pupils so i can see, then dive into the shadows, if it fails just stand still
[5+1-2][Luck: 3]: You successfully make a shield around you that absorbs a lot of the light. They start loosing track of you.
[Spotting: 6-2, 6-2, 5-2] They still know where you are, though... crap...
You really should've waited a little longer before trying to break free.
+3 Shield magic skill.
New spell: Major Light Absorption Shield.
+1 Chaos.Stab Nat!
[4] VS [6+1] Damage: [3+1] Nat is impaled through and through as a spear enters her body.
Nat thinks she can see Death sitting on a bone throne behind the Accurarwa drinking tea while speaking to her in a British accent. Yeah, she'd better get some healing soon.
