009 Dragons on Faerun

(This chapter has more settings)

A "small boat" lies quietly in the water. It is supported by two huge "air bags" and tied with snake nerves and some ropes in the middle.

The barbarian girl tied her package to the stern of the "boat"

The "Delayed Justice" team usually leaves most of the unimportant daily necessities in Tia's care, such as pots and pans.

Such items are of little value but heavy in weight. Tia can simply abandon the package when necessary.

Her package is a secondary magic item that can reduce part of the weight, so Tia was never willing to give it up along the way.

Most of the magic items in the team are taken care of by the sorceress Shatara. He has a small magic bag, which is not large but can block the light of spells. Valuable items such as the Silent Incense are kept in her place.

As a caster in the team, she will be protected by other team members, and protecting her is equivalent to protecting the important wealth of the team at the same time.

The materials or mission items obtained in some missions will be kept by Captain John, such as the two dragon eggs this time!

As a high-level professional, he can not only carry some integral materials that are heavy and difficult to disassemble, but also ensure their safety.

John and the others entered the Twisted Jungle this time to take on three tasks. The first was to steal dragon eggs. An employer offered to buy dragon eggs at a high price. This was a side task. The second was to find a person: it is said that the daughter of the Mist Elf King is also the Mist Elf.

The princess's exploration team is trapped in the twisted jungle

The Elf King has issued the task of "finding the princess" to all adventurers in Mist Town. As long as they can provide valuable clues, they can exchange for a good bounty - the paladin also needs to be lucky.

As for why an elf princess joined the exploration team, it can only be said that the civil strife more than two hundred years ago caused the mist elf royal family to lose most of its majesty. Now the elf kings will wear armor on the front line to resist the invasion of evil dragons. Of course, the elf princess will also

Not some delicate girl

She is a highly skilled high-level ranger, and there is known to be at least one master-level warrior in her team, so the elves do not think that they will be wiped out in the forest.

A team of high-level adventurers, as long as they don't break into Margaret's lair and are cautious enough, can walk sideways in the Twisted Jungle!

——Most of the high-end combat power of the monster legion is concentrated in the dragon's nest to guard the dragon's wealth at all times, while being infected by the twisted power of the evil dragon. Beside the powerful dragon, dragon-born monsters are more likely to awaken the power in their blood.

, non-dragon-born creatures are also more likely to accept the dragon's gift and gain part of the dragon's power, extraordinary physique and longer life!

John and the others’ third mission was to find out about Margaret of the Dark Green Calamity—since its appearance thirty years ago, the Dark Green Calamity has never unleashed the majesty of its evil dragon in the sky of the Misty Mountains.

And most of the monsters have also shrunk to the vicinity of their dragon's nest, which is contrary to common sense!

The elves suspect that Margaret has fallen into a deep sleep in order to bypass the "old age" stage of the dragon and directly advance to the ancient green dragon. This possibility has forced the mist elves to arrange a large number of tasks in the near future, and the atmosphere of war permeates the entire city.

Mountain Range - Once Margaret is allowed to advance to Ancient Dragon, it will be many times more difficult for the elves to complete their goal of regaining the old land!

The age range of dragons is well known in Faerûn. Excellent adventurers must be involved in a large number of dragon-related matters, and adventurers who can frequently deal with dragons (even young dragons or dragonborn) must have superior strength!

The dragon is endowed with unique talents and has a long lifespan

Just hatched ~ 5 years old: the young dragon stage. The dragon at this stage can even bully wild boars.

5~50 years old: The young dragon stage, which is about the size of a small pony. Ordinary griffons are their evenly matched opponents at this stage.

50~100 years old: In the teenage stage, the average mid-level adventurer team will not be their opponent (of course it also depends on the type of dragon, white dragon diss), and the ambitious teenage dragons have begun to cultivate their own power.

Some precocious evil dragons have even given birth to their first litter. Of course, at this stage, they are unable to raise their offspring, so they just lay the eggs quietly somewhere and let them fend for themselves. This is also the reason for Faerûn.

The main reason why dragonborn are flying all over the sky is that there are more than 100 dragons of all ages in the Twisted Jungle. As for their relationship with Margaret, hey, it can be said to be very confusing. How can we use human ethics to evaluate dragons?

100 to 200 years old, the young dragon stage. As the age increases and its own strength expands, the young dragon becomes active. The usual representative behaviors are: the evil dragon takes over a remote city, robs passing merchants, or

Leading an army of monsters to attack human towns. The metal dragons also began to leave their parents' nests to travel and look for places to build their own nests.

Youth is the stage where the gap between the lower limit and the upper limit of a dragon's strength is the largest. A strong one may be equivalent to an ordinary legendary professional, while a weak one (a certain white dragon) may become a record that a team of mid-level adventurers can boast about. Most of the rumors circulated

The protagonists of the dragon-slaying feat are all young dragons, and the mortality rate of dragons at this stage is also the highest.

200~400 years old: Adult stage. Adult dragons are one of the most active legendary monster races in Faerûn. Their titles are usually obtained or updated at this stage. During this period, the five-color dragons will expand their power, occupy territory, and

began their evil rule. The metal dragons also completed building their nests during this period, and reached a certain level of contact (or indirect control) with the forces surrounding the nests.

According to incomplete statistics, less than one-fifth of the five-color dragons in Faerûn can survive to adulthood, while the probability of metal dragons reaching adulthood is relatively higher.

An adult giant dragon, even a white dragon, is not the target of ordinary high-level adventurers in its lair. A particularly powerful dragon species like an adult red dragon, a standard legendary team is also very powerful.

The car may overturn - a little reminder here: the dragon is not a beast that can only use brute force, nor is it a lone man!

400~600 years old: In the prime of life, the dragon in this period is already the overlord of the party (if it has not been slaughtered), and the power of the dragon's body has reached its peak in the usual sense. Facing the dragon in its prime, it is not recommended to provoke the dragon who is not a legendary professional.

As for the power of the mature evil dragon - it is equivalent to a monster kingdom. Only kingdoms or even empires of the same size have the strength to conquer them. This is usually done under the guidance of one or more good gods.

Margaret led the monster army to destroy a small kingdom in the middle of the continent, was expelled by the good forces, and finally came to nest in the Misty Mountains.

600~800 years old: In the old age stage, the physical strength of dragons in this period has begun to weaken. On the contrary, their spellcasting ability obtained from their bloodline has been enhanced, unless the dragons only rely on physical strength from the beginning (this

Breeding dragons basically do not live to adulthood), otherwise the power of the dragon will not become weaker

Moreover, the dragons began to become "homey" and would not leave their nests easily, which made it more difficult to slay the dragons.

800~1000 years old, the extremely old dragon stage. Not all dragons will enter this stage. Dragons with good talent and ambition can skip the extremely old dragon through long sleep or rituals and enter the ancient dragon stage.

The physical strength of the dragons in the extremely old age has declined, and the life of the dragons has reached the end of its normal meaning, and the power they have established since their youth will become dilapidated due to the passage of time and the weakening of their masters.

There are many "possibilities" for the extremely old dragon, such as giving up the power of the material plane and entering the elemental plane to seek transformation into an elemental dragon (as we all know, elemental beings are immortal). They can also transform into a dracolich through rituals. Of course, the most orthodox one is

The road is to find the opportunity to transform into an ancient dragon, get rid of the limit of lifespan, and regain a second spring.

Advanced legendary professions are also an option. The power of dragons does not come from their self-training or research, but from the innate power of their blood. They have a complete inheritance knowledge system, and all they need is to spend time organizing and reading.

The long life and abundant inheritance experience allow almost every dragon to advance to a spellcasting profession (pure physical professions are superfluous for real dragons), the most common ones are warlocks and priests!

Just because dragons are born with the ability to cast spells does not mean that they are naturally warlocks. Only by actively tapping into the spell-casting power deep within their bloodline and controlling it as they wish, while gaining additional spell-casting abilities, can they be considered to be on the path of a warlock.

A very small number of dragons will become mages, because their natural spellcasting abilities and the achievements of the warlocks who mine their blood are far more cost-effective than spending a lot of time studying magic. Of course, some strange species with "law addiction" are not considered.

within range

Wizards and warlocks are just basic professions. There are also spellcasting professions such as mystic, arcanist, shaman, fury of the forest, wound of the earth, elemental guard, evocationist, archivist, etc.

Wait, there are so many career variants in the multiverse.

On top of this, there are more legendary advanced professions than this, such as the Priest of the First Fire, the Tyrant of the Earth, the Bringer of Natural Disaster, etc., and most of the legendary paths of advancement for spellcasters have means of extending life.

For example, the First Fire Priest is the advancement path for warlocks or shamans. Generally, only red dragons or brass dragons meet the advancement requirements.

Once you embark on the path of the First Fire Priest, the dragon's body will immediately stop aging and turn into a semi-elemental life. Compared to becoming a completely elemental dragon, the First Fire Priest will have an almost infinite lifespan and also has the ability to move forward.

The possibility of becoming an ancient dragon or even an ancient dragon

This path requires burning a large amount of life and material as sacrifices to the elemental plane. In the end, it should gain enough divinity to ignite the divine fire and become an elemental demigod. At this time, it will probably no longer wander around the material world.

The gods wouldn't allow it, and the Material Realm was "too cold" for the fire elemental demigods.
