"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the final round of the arena!" A rather fat lizard in a black and white tux bellows
"Tonight, we will see who it worthy of the great title!"
"and who will go on to learn our arts!"
"We have all of our contestants here! Lets meet them!"
He walks over to the first contestant, who seems to have only just woken up
"Whats your name?"
"ugh...... I'm... John.."
He rubs his eyes
"HElllloooo John! Wakey wakey!"
the crowd laughs
"So, contestant number 2! What is your name?"
The second contestant squints
"Ehr, I'm, err Steve."
He rubs his arm
"Haha! Scared of the fierce battle tonight?"
Steve: "Ehrm.. no?"
Announcer: "Great! Now onto our final contestant!"
Announcer: "You are..?"

Its still your turn though
intimidation is a minor action
so you still have a minor action if you want it
since you have done 2 minor (a major is = 2 minor)
Jaczac
I wait

John runs the fuck away
Steve looks up at you
Gathers his courage

The cloaked figure you saw earlier steps forwards
"I will teach him..."
"Come hither."
Jaczac
I do so
@AnionCation
"We shall head outside the city, where we can find you an appropriate animal to fix this"
→ Jaczach has joined
Jaczach
JZ: Very well.
I go with him
@AnionCation
You head outside of the city
"Ok, we shall need to look for something.. big"
"What kind of thing do you think you will want?"
Jaczach
JZ: Hmm...
JZ: What animals do you have?
@AnionCation
"Haha, we aren't giving you one we have"
"we are getting you one."
"we are heading out to the wilds."
Jaczach
JZ: Ohh.
JZ: What animals are there then?
@AnionCation
you follow him outside of the walls
"Well, you name it, we probably have something like it."
Jaczach
JZ: Hmm... This is gonna sound crazy. But do you have a drake?
JZ: Like a dragon?
@AnionCation
"In fact, yes we do."
"Although it will be difficult."
"Follow me"
He pushes his cloak back over his shoulders
and begins sprinting into the forest
Jaczach
I follow him
@AnionCation
you sprint after him
you run for about, 3 hours
you run through the forest, across some plains and towards some mountains
You arrive at an area surrounded by mountains
there is an area that is mostly flat in between a ring of the mountains
in the hills
there is a path which curves around the mountains, slowly going more and more up
until it reaches a very large cave on the very right mountain
ⓘ Jaczach is now known as Jaczac|Comp
@AnionCation
the path starts on the bottom left mountain
it would take about half an hour to cross the entire path
there are 20 caves along the path
increasing in tsize as it goes along
*size
"Here."
you stand in front of a large body of water just in front of the plain
"Firstly, we must meet a drake
I assume you will want to stick with a smallish one
They will be the easiest to control2
Jaczac
Sure
@AnionCation
Then you will want to go to the further left caves
"They are the smallest caves for the smallest and weakest drakes"
"although do not let that trick you"
"they are much, MUCH stronger than you."
Jaczac|Comp
i NOD
((caps))
@AnionCation
"Ok, so you will want to walk up to that cave, and approach it slowly"
"Do not act quickly, or it will attack"
"You have some kaeleaf, right?"
Jaczac|Comp
JZ: Yes.
@AnionCation
"Drakes love it"
Jaczac|Comp
JZ: I only have 2 leaves, will that be enough?
@AnionCation
"Hold some of it in your hand when approaching"
"Yes2
"You only need 1 leaf really"
"Give it too much and it will go hyper"
"and probably try to eat you"
"So only let the small ones have 1"
Jaczac|Comp
I pull out a leaf and hold it in my hand
@AnionCation
"Do not try to feed it to the drake."
"Simply hold it"
"It will do its thing with it"
Jaczac|Comp
JZ: I understand
@AnionCation
"After it has done its thing, walk towards it, slowly"
"Then make yourself seem small"
"The drake will probably do some weird stuff at that point"
"just let it."
"do not back away"
Jaczac|Comp
I nod again.
@AnionCation
"Next, after it has calmed"
"Hold out your hand again, but this time sideways"
"it will head to your hand, and this time touch it"
"Then I will help you from there"
"Lets go"
Jaczac|Comp
I go
holding the leaf in my hand
@AnionCation
the cloaked man follows you, and stays outside the cave
Jaczac|Comp
I creep toward it, slowly, smoothly, holding the leaf towards it
@AnionCation
A huge blue drake, at least 2 times as tall as you and 6 metres long creeps out
Its long pointed head sticks out from its long neck
and sniffs
It creeps forwards, blinking at the light outside
It then moves its head down
sniffs again
and creeps towards you
It looks at your hand
sniffs the kaeleaf
raises its head up high
And sneezes
It then looks down again

and sucks

@AnionCation

you take 3 points of damage and your hand is now completely numb
(which hand?)
Jaczac|Comp
right :\
@AnionCation
you lower your right arm and watch the drake
The drake sneezes
and opens its wings hard
hitting the roof of the cave
it spazms, the spazms moving down its body
← Rrobin has left
@AnionCation
firstly its neck, then its back, then its wings, then down to its legs and tail
it sneezes several more times
each time, steam appearing to come out of its nose
the drake drops onto the ground
eyes flickering in.. pleasure?
Jaczac|Comp
i stay there
@AnionCation
the drake stays dropped on the ground, and then rolls over
it makes a cute whining noise
