Hmm, I'm not really sure where to go from here. I assume the 6 roll and the trouble with whatever happens because of it will give me a lead of some sort.

The others who rolled 6's back on the child up stage got visits from their father, I suppose one option might be to make up a step father of some sort? Some other dragon who's related to my mother somehow who I irritate or upset(maybe it was their gold I swiped?) Possibly a mage or teacher of some sort who takes me under his wing, but finds me in his treasure room starting things off sourly...

Don't know if that helps or not, just trying to give ideas. I don't think it would be really right for me to say specifics on my own character when no one else got the choice. And besides that kinda lessens the fun of things I think.

Also, I'm fine with short-mini turns, just maybe put some sort of limit on them, only so much change in stats(if any) during a mini turn as opposed to a normal one. Some people are more active in posting than others, and it would be good to keep limits in mind so things don't get out of hand.

Urgh, Raikonai thought, Best deal with this now.

Approach black thing, try to make out shouting, ask it what it wants.

Yes, I could make a step father or some related dragon. I'll PM you once I've finished editing.

Hm, certainly. I'll put a limit of 5 mini-turns, or 3 stat point changes. I'll likely do a mini-turn when I'm not busy between doing multiple things IRL.

Also, you are the only one to respond on that so far. Thank you for not being so uncaring as half of my other players.

They ALWAYS will, trust me. :\ I may not be in yet but I'll offer my opinion anyway; you should do mini-rolls if you want to.

As for mini-turns, I don't really have an opinion either way, sorry. Guess I should have said that, but it wouldn't have made a difference.

Alright, here's the first mini-turn. It... feels sort of like an actual turn.

Anthramarux collapsed into her comfortable cave home with a draconic sigh/roar. Tomorrow she would be hungry, but for now sleep was enough.

She wondered if she would dream. For, such dreams as she had, were inevitably interesting-violent, beautiful things of many hues. Much like she believed herself to be.

Sleep didn't come easy at first. She realized it was because everything was so quiet. Anthramarux had grown accustomed to her mothers sonorous snoring by her next every night, a constant reminder of protection, of love.... Then she thought back on the day, what had happened, and grew depressed.

She thought of Arillis. Was she so off of her reckoning of him? Perhaps. Her pride would not allow her to admit it fully, but what was done, was done.

In time, sleep came, if Anthramarux wished it or not-and that was a relief.

Action: Sleep, and dream...
You descend into sleep...

[5]: In your dreams, a female human in a white dress walks up to you. Before you can say anything, she starts talking. You appear to be in your human form.

"Hello, Anthramarux." She smiles.

Where is this, what is this whats that?
Look around, dont break anything

is green better?
You look around the place. There are several horses in here. The place itself is made of wood, and there is hay all over the dirt floor. Multiple parts of the building are open to the outside world, but you aren't tall enough to see out of them. There are several sharp things in this building.

((giving me specifics will net you further information))

Nuvian rapped on the door, hoping for a warm response rather than a cold one.
You smack on the door with your two hands for a few seconds.

The door opens. The man appears to be half asleep.

"W-hat t-do you want...? I'm trying th-... to sleep her-... dragon!"

Urgh, Raikonai thought, Best deal with this now.

Approach black thing, try to make out shouting, ask it what it wants.
You approach the black thing and... um...

Ummm...

It's... huge. It's... just a mass of... darkness. The shouting is coming from it: It sounds angry and in pain. Whatever it is.

It's here that you notice the sun's shine and heat nearly nonexistent, and everything near it sort of becoming... bleak.

Your urge to run is even higher than it was when you left your egg. RUUUUUUNNNNNN!

"Alright... Thanks for your help, anyways." With a slight nod, Varkonis lifted off again, headed to the actual village to search for someone to teach him magic.

(Oh, by the way... 3D words?! It actually works... a bit...)
You look around town for someone who can teach you magic.

Turns out, lots of people can teach you magic. Not a whole lot are good at teaching or are willing to teach a lot, but a large amount of them are willing to teach. And there are several dozen villagers. You'll have to be more specific.

"Yes, a priest of Olden... or perhaps even a priest of Pahhosag, should be able to help you. And yes, I can teach you, if you're willing to learn."

"Count me in as 'very willing', please. Do we start now, or should I come back later?"

If Now, Learn about what magic is and how to effectively channel it, along with novice magical knowledge. Also some Life-branch spells if we have time for it. (Aka: Learn stuff, finally make some progress on the 'moist powerful draco-mage' life goal front.)

If Later: Set a meeting time, and head out to the marketplace. Buy, say, a large bag to hold whatever currency I may bring with me, a second one for small items, and a map.
 (Because obviously I don't have detailed images of the world and it's kingdoms along with army movements in my head. Nope. *Shifty eyes.*

Depositing the large picture-book he was fooling around with at the cave entrance on the table, Jargon poked his head out of the library, pondering the Bland Red. Or at least out of the room that he had so dubbed /his/ library. It basically held a table with some very limited reading material he had managed to 'obtain' from other rooms around the cave. Most of which he couldn't read, hence why he was only bothering with the pictures in the first place.

.oO(Hmm another dragon whom isn't me, and isn't mom. This requires more investigation). He might end up as a source for obtaining more information that Jargon might be interested in absorbing.


Follow the red dragon, and try to observe without being noticed.

I suppose I can give some names a shot, Random hopefully at least somewhat dragon-y names:
Mother: Elendrita
Father(RIP): Dunuion
Step Father Red Dragon Person: Kelonix
Green Mage(why not?): Neumanin Moffry
Dunuion's Guild/Cult thing: The Serpentine Rapture
Mother's Magic/Wizard group: Shards of Melody

Anthramarux nodded her head politely at the woman. Even in dreams, decorum should be observed, she thought.

"Well met, stranger.

It seems you know my name-but I have yet to have been acquainted with yours. May I so inquire then, as to who you are?"
