A Villain In A World Of Heroes

:jackiechan: I give up. If you want to poke the dragon awake just so you can tell it the answers to some kindergarten level riddles, then that's your prerogative. But when you get the MC killed going through with your stupid overconfidence here, that's on you.
 
[X] Attack the dragon and eat it heart, hornes, claws, body and all

because dragons are so easy to kill......
You're doing something almost as stupid in assuming that the dragon is just there to listen to the answers to the riddles, you know. I'd be singing a different tune if these were hardcore riddles, but they're not; They were pretty much as easy as it gets, and there's NO WAY that THIS is the entire Test of the Path of Wisdom. Dark Ness said that this would be hard. It hasn't been hard so far. Ness wasn't lying. Therefore there must be a hard part. And you're walking straight at the biggest possible danger we've ever encountered and telling it to get up so it can hear the answers to some mind games.

or this is stage 1:cool:

there can be multiple stages you know. and attacking a dragon dosent excatly sound wise to me. if you wanted violence you should have chosen the sword
a
and if you read my vote we are looking at it and answering the riddles if it dosent react to us answer the riddles then we come up with a new plan
 
Confession Time: I couldn't come up with any riddles, so I copied these off the internet. They were supposed to be harder. But, I will tell you that the riddles aren't all there is to the trial.

Oh. Well. Since you had to nab these off the internet and I could literally just google them and tell you the answer without doing any thinking, can I make a suggestion?

These riddles are, presumably, supposed to be a challenge, yes? So how about this; I give you the riddles, you retcon the post, and I'm not allowed to tell anybody the answers because that'd ruin the game. The point of this path is to be worthy of something befitting our intelligence, but if the thread can't succeed at a riddle contest then maybe they should reconsider their choices...

Well, damn. Looks like we are talking straight to the dragon, instead of doing the safer option of telling it to the tablets first.
 
Angry Dragon
You stare straight at the dragon's closed, scale eyelids and say "The answers Clouds, Nothing and Fire,

After you say the first answer, the Dragon's right wing disappears. After you say the second, the left wing disappears. They seem to just be gone, like they never existed in the first place. Instead, there is now smooth black scales where the wings used to connect to the dragon's body. The third word doesn't seem to do anything that you can tell.

The dragon opens it's eyes and roars, staring at you with pure hate and starts to charge towards you. It looks like you have a fight on your hands. It would probably be a good idea to exit the tunnel and move out of the way. At least the dragon is fifty feet away, so you have time to do something before it reaches you.

OCC: The riddles were only there to give you a shot in this fight.

How big a dragon are we talking about here? Smaug big? Smaller? Bigger? Could we jump into it's mouth and shoot an Ice spike up into it's brain ala Harry potter vs the Basilisk?

.
Twice your height, this was mentioned in the previous update.

Also, unless you mange to go in horizontally, no, not with out getting bitten.
 
Did the last answer remove it's fire-breath? Or did we get it wrong?
How would we tell?

[X] Run the heck away.
-[X] If there doesn't seem to be anything to trip over in this area, shoot Icebolts at it's face. Blinding it would be nice, but if we hit the nose that'd be good too.
-[X] Don't even bother with fire.
-[X] Use melted Icebolt water to shoot water balls, if any exists

Do you mean run back down the tunnel, or run around the room?
 
Around the room. By "Run away", I meant Kite the darned thing now that It can't fly; closing in melee with it is supremely silly, even without considering the character build that we're going for here.
How big is the room we are in? Is there room to run around it? I didn't think the room was big enough for it to fly, and it would use it's wings as bashing limbs, or to protect it's more tender areas, but I realized that's just me assuming stuff.
