    • [X] Figure out how to talk to Artemis. You know she's tired, you're tired to, but so much has happened, and you need her guidance. It won't be easy, Countess Mantrae will probably tell her guards to make sure you stay in your room and get some sleep, but you're sure there's a way.
      -[X] You will talk to Artemis tonight.

      [X] Get some sleep. You're still tired, and a lot has happened today. The bed looks re-made and fluffier than ever: close your eyes and rest.
      [X] Go exploring. There's still so much of the castle you haven't seen. If you can figure out how to slip out, you're pretty sure you'd be able to find something interesting as night falls.
      -[X] You just want a general idea of what things are like.

    • [X] Go grab your bag: Something's wrong, and you don't want to leave anything behind if you have to do something drastic.
      [X] Plan Grab and Go
      -[x] Go grab your bag: Something's wrong, and you don't want to leave anything behind if you have to do something drastic.
      -[x] Write in: "No, I'm taking you with me." Shift, smash the window, rip out the mesh, help Artemis jump on your back, hand her your bag, and fly like the wind. Hopefully in the darkness no one will see exactly what happened. Get as far northeast as you can before putting down somewhere horses can't go, away from people. You can make the trip in hops as often as you're able at night, and walk or hide when you need a rest or you'd risk being seen by people below.
      [X] "You underestimate my power." Rage flows through you.
      [X] "No! There's got to be another way I'm not going to leave you here! I'll think of something…"
      [X] "…Okay. Stay here, I'll be fast. I'll go get your father, then we'll be back to save you."
      [X] Write-In "She just wants her daughter back, right? So after they give her back they won't be able to take you, because they'll be surprised by a dragon!"
      [X] Plan: Coordinate the group, THEN Grab and Go.
      -[X] See if Artemis knows where the rest of our group are.
      -[X] Attempt to contact each of them if practical, inform them of the situation.
      -[X] If we're noticed, aim to blind with bright flashes of magic, but conserve power when possible. Can't rescue Artemis if you're exhausted.
      -[X] We can only reasonably evacuate Artemis, but the countess has no particular reason to harm the rest, so leave it to their discretion whether to stage a breakout, or await rescue.
      -[X] Return to Artemis's location, become dargon, rescue Artemis, escape like your life depends on it (it probably does).
      [X] You... you hate what history has done to your people, but if they fear dragons... You will meet Mantrae immediately, prove yourself a dragon, and make her work with you to betray the bandits once they come for Artemis. If she can betray Artemis she can betray them too.
      [X] Write-In Plan : Dragon saves Princess Knight
      -[X] O tower bound princess, let me free you from these bonds, I shall become your wings and guide you home
      -[x] Go grab your bag: Something's wrong, and you don't want to leave anything behind if you have to do something drastic.
      -[X] Warn Artemis and give her your bag through the window. Turn into your other aspect, and break the wall. Take her with you and fly towards her territory. You will let her handle diplomacy afterwards since you will be exhausted. You will come back later for your companions.
      [X] Write-in: "Wait. If we save the countess's daughter, she won't want to give you to the bandits any more!"
      [x] Go find Artemis quickly: Somethings wrong, and you need to know your friend is safe.

    Currently, Plan Grab and Go is winning (I'm counting Dragon saves Princess Knight with them since they're functionally the same, just with some added flavor).

    I will tell you that, while Ryza would not be using Rage as a power source for that transformation, she would be using an emotion and still be subject to the rules of draconic transformation.

    Alright, looks like Dragon!Ryza's coming out to play.

    Could I get someone to roll me a d3, someone else to roll 3d6, and a third person to roll a d6. Three separate people, please.

    EDIT: Thank you to our rollers. Minor spoilers from the upcoming chapter, you probably got the best "achieve your goals" rolls, but I'll admit I'm disappointed that one bit of shenaniganry won't be happening :,(

    This is probably going to be a fairly short update; telling a little story, learning a bit more about your dragon form by necessity, and setting up your high-speed journey to Agrithe.

    In other news, I got a dragon model for my birthday, and I've started painting it as a Yellow manakete's dragon form. Not sure if it's an older Ryza or one of her parents, but I'm having fun so far.

    • [X] Travel only at night. You will be less likely to be spotted, and in general you'll be better rested. However, it will take noticeably longer to get back to Agrithe. You will have time to do some fun things while you're resting (Choose one activity).

      --[X] The Dragon Within
      [X] Travel as fast as you can, resting only when needed. This will make your journey far shorter; it will also be nearly impossible for Countess Mantrae's people to catch up. However, you're almost certain to be spotted, and may even have a notable encounter (Choose oneencounter).
      -[X] A wing of curious Pegasus Knights intercept you.

    • [X] "Ultimately, as angry as I am with Mantrae's actions, I cannot help but understand them. More importantly, solidarity among the Kingdoms is not to be ceded lightly. It is possible that, with a quick-moving force, young Sypha could be recovered. This would be an exceptionally difficult task, and without you I do not think it would be possible, but you might be able to move fast enough to catch up with whoever took her. You would almost certainly have to foray into the Empire, as that is the only source of the bandits that I can envision, and they almost certainly will have retreated since you and Artemis fled."
      -[X] "Understandable as Mantre's actions were, there must still be some consequences for her betrayal. Bring Sypha to me: she will see her mother again, but only after some terms are agreed to between Mantrae and I."

    Seems like a pretty clear win for kidnapping rescuing Sypha for Agrithe :p

    As for the scrolls; all I'll say is that, if you all had chosen to stay another day, there would have been some very interesting conversations.

    • [X] Pack light, as Robin suggested. You won't be able to bring as much, but it'll make movement somewhat easier. (Top four choices will be taken)
      [X] Extra money. Phoebe suggests that, if you do end up needing to get information or supplies from someone while away from Agrithe, having a good store of money will be useful. You're not quite sure how this "money" works, but you're sure Robin does.
      [X] A bigger map. You still have the scroll Archduke Letoro gave you, and it looks very useful. However, if you're going to be searching, it might be a good idea to dig out a bigger, more detailed map to find your way.
      [X] Extra Food: While you'll certainly take some, bringing more might make things easier. Or at least make it so Robin doesn't have to do as much work.
      [X] Thunder's Cry: While not as powerful as your dragon form, Thunder's Cry has gotten you out of some sticky situations. You also know exactly how to use it.
      [X] Scrolls: Artemis has offered to keep your things from home safe, but you still want to keep learning about your heritage. Each scroll counts as an item. (Dragon Within)
      [x] Extra Medical Supplies: While nobody got seriously hurt on your first trip, this time you'll be going straight towards the bad guys. Bringing some extra healing herbs might be a good idea if you get into a fight.
