Golden Treasure: Be The Dragon Quest

Reader mode
[X] The Tailless feels Love for its dead kin still. You have the Loop of Loops, the neck-hanging Treasure that is all that now remains of one of them, and you remember their Last Song as a pattern of sigils, lines and curves. Perhaps you could offer up the Loop of Loops and the scribbles that dead Digger made...?

Let's try this way. Learning more about no tails could be pretty fun.

Did we find more or less than ten disks of shiny?
How many things makes a full Lilly?
Just trying to gauge the dragon metrics.

Was there a skull and stuff where we found the loop of loops?

You found about twenty or thirty, mostly copper which aren't good enough to be a whole Shiny Thing each and two of which are big gold ones and worth two each.
You ate the bones because a hungry dragon has absolutely no reason to do anything else. There might be scraps still.
I don't understand what you're asking in the second question?

Good thing to become able to oppose one's instincts.
 
Not sure if this was answered or not, but how intelligent are the dragons of this world?

It seems they have their own language and know the languages of other animals as well, so at least they're on par with humans in that regard.

Yes, dragons are at least as bright as humans. Though in different sorts of ways. Intelligence is a multi-faceted thing and cannot be reduced to a simple number or smarter/stupider.

Humans are probably better at math and engineering and socializing. Definitely better at cooperation. Dragons are probably better at insight (like, looking at a landscape and immediately seeing where and how it might flood) and seeing complex systems all at once and predicting what will happen next. On average.

The Song is yet to be really explained in character. It's the level on which dragon telepathy and extra senses operate and most adult Draak have magical abilities, also mediated in the Song.

We could maybe trade the loop of loops (beaded necklace? wedding ring?) for the acid.

You decide to start with the closest parts and then move outward, since you might have a limited time to investigate before the Differ returns.

??? Not sure what is even supposed to be there.

You reach the rooftop and bolt off into the darkness before you can be attacked again, and dart away from the shouting and raving Digger as fast as you can, even as he throws another orb of Acid to land uselessly on the patchwork roof of the chamber you are running across.

What happened to this one? Did it shatter on contact? The language used made me think it went through one of the holes in the roof and landed there safely. I thought we'd get the orb intact but apparently not.

Also, this is the kind of stuff I like to read about. A contact with unknown that has a mind of its own. Is it friendly; is it dangerous? You don't know, and won't know until you risk something. Although I prefer it when the differences between mindsets are not easily smoothed out. Therefore!

[x] The Tailless has acid! A liquid that eats through wood and stone and smells like that- That is definitely acid. You need to get some to rescue Volt. Somehow. Then again, there are other ways you could try to free Volt.
-[x] The clear-stone orbs are the only thing you KNOW have acid in them. Wait until he sleeps and steal one.

I am pretty happy with the outlook our Draak has, and in no hurry to change it. Why give up our Shinies in trade when we could just steal what we want? It's not like the Digger is using Acid for anything but picking fights with Draaks!

I wonder what the "Loop of Loops" is. When it mentioned that another miner had a similar one, I almost thought it was a miner tag necklace of some sort. But apparently it is something more personal, after all. I wonder if the flat thing could be a locket, but the Draak would probably have remarked on it more if so.
