[Perilouslands] Scene 30: Re: The Red Gem of Death

[Scott M]

Ok. Screw this guy.

I'm getting the vibe that this thing, though extremely powerful, is getting
pretty close to the throes of death. Is that right?

Depending on whether I think a single good strike has a chance of taking it
out and how precariously the spear hangs from the Elder Dragon, I'll choose
between my original plan of Lightning just to try to get lucky against its
magic resistance, or the use Flight to charge into it with the intention of
using the remnants of that dangling spear for an Elder Dragon vivisection.

Either plan is ridiculous. And Dridian is a subscriber to the adage that if
you're gonna do something wrong. Do it right. So the longer he thinks about
it, the more likely he'll decide that this dragon, like all malcontent
wayward children, really just needs a sharp wap in the (insert organ most
closest to spear) to settle it down.

Anyway. The next three seconds are likely to suck.

Bummer he never got to figure out where all Tomus' fire powers were coming
from. He really hates unresolved conundrums...
