Madison came out of her room and made her way over to the dining hall just in time to hear Lady Violetta finish her speech. She walked over to Roisin, realizing that the more she learned about this strange new world, the better off she'd be. Then, she heard Lady Violetta mention that they were free to figure out what kind of magic they had.

She had been indulging in her bad habit of looking at the ground rather than making eye contact with people, so that gave her an idea. She focused on the earth beneath her, willing it to move. The tremor wasn't much, barely enough for even her to feel it, but she smiled. It was a big first step for her on her journey, and she knew it.
"The key words there, my friend, are 'in the hands of a Dragonslayer'. Most Dragonslayers, myself included, rely on massive weapons that can bludgeon a dragon to death or pound their way through the scales. No offense, but a normal human couldn't even lift them.

As for there being many different types of dragons, you're right about that. I'd think a small dragon could certainly be slain by a town guard swarming it and hacking the beast to death, but the casualty numbers would be immense. Better to stay well clear of it and hit it from a distance. With luck, you'll strike an artery and let the thing bleed into oblivion. Even if that doesn't happen, you only have to worry about the breath attacks, not the teeth, claws, and tail."
The drunks didn't have any knowledge to impart to me, which was a shame. Still, I had to move on. If they wouldn't give me the knowledge I was looking for, I'd have to do the scouting myself.

Well, Darvyn, time to get to work. I hefted Scaleslayer and walked out into the warm sunlight. As I looked around, I saw another Dragonslayer giving a lecture on what the villagers should do if the dragons decided to attack. I figured I could hand out a few pointers as well.

"My name's Darvyn, and I'm a Dragonslayer as well. I just have a few things to add. Trapping the dragons is all well and good, but you still need to kill the bloody beasts. To do that, you need to stick it full of arrows. Swords and the like won't work unless they're either enchanted or so massive that only a Dragonslayer can wield them. Aim for the wings,, as arrows can't pierce the scales, the eyes are too small a target, and as for the mouth... let's just say that death comes out of a dragon's mouth, but it doesn't go in that way."
Name: Elric Rokunov

Age: 27

Male

Guild: Rakdos

Human

Why he's Rakdos: He grew up a street orphan, doing small magic performances to earn money. The local Rakdos Ringmaster noticed that he had particular talent with fire magic and set him to work in an act as "The Burning Man." His proudest achievement was getting to perform his act for Lyzolda, though she didn't seem to be too intested.

Personality: Many would say that Elric is insane, but he's not. He does believe in living life to the fullest, and enjoys new experiences. He's been known to enjoy fine food and drink, and once got himself in debt to the Orzhov to cover his bills, though he did manage to pay them off.

Magic:

Pyromancy: This is what got him noticed in the first place, and is still his strongest magic. Though he's loathe to admit it, he also has several fire wards to protect him from harm during his act, though to be honest, he wouldn't survive it without them, and even then, it still puts him in extreme agony.

Necromancy: Admittedly, he's not too good at this, but he was recently able to bring back a cat for the first time.

Appearance: A tall, slim man, he has a scar on his left cheek from when one of his childhood acts went south.
I was in the Roaring Lion Tavern, drinking my time away. Scaleslayer laid on the bench beside me, a clear warning to all that I was not to be messed with. "Another mug of ale, please," I said, tossing a silver to the barkeep.

"Anyone know details about the lizard infestation up on the mountain? I might have some skills to offer, but I need to know what I'm getting into."

One of the local louts raised an eyebrow at me. "A Dragonslayer? Right, and I'm King O' the Faeries."

I stood up and calmly hefted the oak bench in one hand. After setting it down, I turned to the speaker and said, "Nice to meet you, Your Majesty."

The look on his face was utterly priceless.

The puns begin here.

I will outpun you so hard when we meet.


Don't worry, I won't pull any pun-ches either.
Say, you want ten slots. There are ten guilds. How about each of us takes a guild, and then we get going? I call Rakdos, btw
I suppose it's asking too much to whip up a Planeswalker?
Maddie retired to her room, flipping open her PLT. She went into the file marked "Room Decoration" and switched the wall color to seafoam green. Instantly, the walls responded. "Nice." She continued messing around with it for a few minutes, finally settling on light blue.
