>>5545377You are a little caught off-guard. You’d come to speak your piece at length, to propose your bold new vision for all of Reptilian society moving forward, but had found yourself surprisingly intimidated by this assembly. Though not attacked or forced out, your initial announcement and subsequent dismissal had killed your lofty speeches in your throat, and blasted them from your brain. You realize what it is now: it is like when you faced the Ghoul Supreme, or even the lingering spirit of the Red Dragon King. It is the effect of their Fearsome Presences, massed against your own—more powerful, but singular, engulfed by the black mass of their accumulated age and status, their mystic power and spiritual authority.
“Tell us, Oh Dragonborn,” the eldest Serpent Priests beseeches you again, “what would YOU have us do? You came here with a course of action in mind, surely, to so PRESUMTUOUSLY intrude where you were not requested?”
The Dragonblodoed Infiltrator looks furious and almost OFFENDED at this, as if he wants to speak, but he does not. The Chaplain, to your surprise, is looking at you almost pleadingly… But what does he want you to say?
>Back the Chaplain’s plan—a subtle cadre of assassins is the best course of action, subtle enough to end the threat while keeping your darkest secrets hidden in the deep for future deployment>The Dragonblodoed Infiltrator has the right of it—you should strike swiftly, and brutally, but not expend all your resources at once… And the use of the new Dragonborn, your ‘replacement’ rankles you>Back the Chief Fleshweaver—you think the other Dragonborn should be aged to maturity, and YOU would lead their force to strike at the Green Knight in a blazing nova of retaliation and flame>None of the above—you would request the resources to make yourself a special Amulet of Disguise, and go to face him personally, alone, and to end the threat yourself with a duel to the death in the name of the Serpent Ascendant!>Hiding in the shadows? No, you came here to put an end to this way of things, and you still believe in this course. Exposure isn’t just inevitable, it is IMMINENT, and it is time to rise as a true power and to strike with the force of an invading army!>Why engage at all? Move your most valuable assets away from this place, deeper underground… Or perhaps to Bloodrise? You are creating quite the haven for the Forces of Darkness there…>Write-in
