Dragon Harem Quest - Or: Saying You Were Gay Wasn't The Conversation-Ender You Hoped For

Reader mode
I kinda assume that if we stole magical artifacts, we'd then take money from our hoard and just keep the magic artifacts, since Eldingar mentions their quirks entertaining him
 
The bonds are safe but boring.

[X] The magic items. Sniff it out with that beautiful dragon nose of yours and stuff it all in the bag. What's valuable will be worth a lot and what's not will at least entertain you with its gimmicks.

These are interesting and most importantly we can not so subtly rub it in their faces. Plus the chance we get something nifty.

Disagree.

For one thing, paper money is, by its nature, ephemeral and interchangeable. Magical artefacts, on the other hand, tend to be unique and rare. Stuff the Rossos have locked in their vault is highly likely to be one-of-a-kind.

For another thing, we absolutely will be showing off our stolen goods - we are stealing to keep the House afloat, which means auctioning this off or fencing it. Which means the Rossos will be smacked in the face by the realization that the idiot dragon they thought would be an easy mugging made an absolute joke of their security systems and is now selling off some of their most valued items like lemonade.

And bear in mind that the reputation hit for House Rosso comes with a reputation gain for House Elding - it will be a very loud statement that stealing from the dragon does not come without consequences.


TL; DR: it stands to reason to humiliate the Rossos and reinstate the reputation of Eldingar and House Elding. Stealing the magical items accomplishes this.

Wel, they are still alive
Yeah he made joke of their security system but did not attack them.
Because while other Dragon would attack to make a statement and send a message, Eldingar does a Heist and does accidentally a date.
Because Eldingar sucks at being a dragon, his mother hates him for it and the city loves him for it.
What I am saying is, Eldingar is best boi

He did that by having a compelling, good argument brought forth in a Wel done effort post.

In other news,
People, remember we're doing this for the most humor,
It's funnier to see Katara go 'U wot' when we ignore her and grab the shinies becuase...
The paper money is smart and as we have established Eldingar is not good making smart life choices.

A lot depends on our understanding of meta factors though. Like at what point is enough enough because we ran the joke into the ground?
 
[X] The bearer bonds. The idea disgusts you as a dragon on every conceivable level, but Takara does have a point that it's more value per pound, and by design you can use them for whatever the fuck you want by virtue of holding them in your hand.

I'd go for magic items, but I'd BET those are recognizable

Beggars can't be choosers. Let's start with what we can take, and get picky once we're in a position to be picky again.

If Elingar being a dragon is really an open secret, then the Russos would be wise not to point that out to the angry blue dragon.
He might sob at them and then the whole city wil hate them.

Beggars? BEGGARS?!
You think the Great Eldingar, the azure bold that spears the sky, is a BEGGER!
The most gravest of insults, dear sir/madam/[insert alternative]
Eldingar is many things, Dashing mans man; A refined gentleman; A dragon like no other; the cities unofficial mascot; A man magnet; oblivious overlord; master of lightning and many other things but he is not a beggar!
That and the deadline is in a week, long enough for another date- I mean, heist. For another heist, to get us money.
If worst comes to worst, Makram wil only be incredibly smug if we use our wish for this.

That's a good thing!

I've been saying for several pages now - we want to
  • Rub it in the faces of the Rossos that we made fools of them, their security system, and their attempted underhanded elimination of House Eldingar
  • Make it clear to all of Sofnun that stealing from the dragon entails negative repercussions
  • Restore the reputation of Eldingar and House Elding
  • Attain the value needed to keep House Elding afloat while we're at it
Stealing the magical items accomplishes all this in one stroke.

You fool! The last wish will inevitably be used for something selfless and love-related at the climax! This means that while it may seem like we have two wishes left, we actually only have one. We gotta be real careful what we use it on.

Now I kinda want Eldingar to go to sleep on a bed of bearer bonds. A more modern, Wall Street kind of dragon.

Eldingar would rather sleep on rocks.
He is a dragon of class who knows that true hoard should be made from gold and gems.
Not bearer bounds or mansions!
What would m-m-mother think!
 
Actually come to think of it...

Are we completely sure House Rosso itself does not contain any dragons?

Because their hoard status definitely has Eldingar's approval look look i spelt it correctly

EDIT: correctly spell Eldingar, misspell hoard what is my life

-[X] Seriously, it wouldn't take that long to grab every paper in sight - we can grab a few jewels and items on the way out.

Because come on - just because there are four options doesn't mean they all take the same amount of time.

[X] Take it all.
-[X] Fly off with the damn vault while breathing fire in front of the moon if you have too.
--[X] Oh wait. Everyone knows Lord Elding is a Dragon.
---[X] Use our wish to transport the vault to our lair.

I mean, some of this actually belongs to Lord Eldingar, right? Are we going to risk leaving some of our hoard behind?

Hey, @ZerbanDaGreat, when you describe Eldingar as azure, did you have a particular shade in mind? Google is giving me ambiguous results and I need to know for...reasons.
