I'm just a happy camper.
Roleplay posts: 62
Age: Ancient
Physical Description: Size: Askar is 510 feet long, including his tail. He is heavily built in the sense that he looks muscular and has a broad body. His maw is large enough to swallow a bull mammoth whole, his wingspan roughly 1050 feet.
Eyes: Black. Askar's eyes weren't reptilian-like, they were beaming with existential thought unlike an animal.
Color: Askar's scales were dark blue, ranging to a lighter almost grey color on his stomach.
Species: Elder Vintra
Askar's body resembled mostly that of a European dragon. Unlike many dragons he had front and back legs that weren't connected to his wings. His claws were black, thick as battering rams. His teeth were broadswords.Two large horns are placed on the top of his skull, strong enough to bring ruin to most castles.
Askar unlike many other dragons also did not have an opening at the bottom of his chest, it was covered in scale.

(Roughly something along the lines of this)
Clothes and Equipment: Unlike many dragons, Askar breathes a blue flame. The specific fire that Askar produces is extremely potent and will burn hotter than your average dragon flame, it is said to be capable of melting away stone walls and bring mountainsides to a boil. Askar also has a numbing effect on magic, especially hostile magic intended to harm him. It is very hard to hurt a dragon with sorcery or otherwise put it under a spell.

Exploring the Unknown
IC Location - Wastes of Drumbar
One way or another you might have stumbled upon a tome, by the looks of it ancient. The cover of the book in a language you possibly didn't quite understand. Upon opening the tome you find that the previous pages had been replaced with translated ones, scribbled in handwriting, the pages lazily fitted to the back of the tome with brown glue. At first it would possibly appear the scribbles of a lunatic.
The passages were short and hard to piece together, but you understood that the author of the book was rambling about a place, a place of great importance to him.
Drumbar they called it, translated directly from the ancient language of the Danian tribes of the Northern reaches. I've wanted to visit this place for a while, but as I draw closer to death I fear that it would be forfeit to commit to the journey.
To whoever finds this - This tome holds knowledge that can not be measured in coin nor the life of man, it must be brought to someone willing to take upon a journey that could quite possibly mean the end, but the chance to write history would entirely be theirs.
As you make progress it becomes evident that the man is talking about recovering treasure and knowledge from a location in the southern mountains of "The Wastes of Drumbar". The area is mapped and described carefully with notes of importance. Furthermore the tome is filled with guidance and help on how to reach the location and survive there, there is also a bestiary of known creatures that roam the land.
Askar is the name, Elder Dragon from ages past, his name spread fear throughout the long gone clans and tribes of Drumbar, but all is not as it appears. I believe this dragon could possibly guard a treasure of some sort, I've mapped the area where I believe the beast could reside, as carefully explained by the scrolls I am translating from.
Not much information was given on the beast itself, but it is clearly stated not to attempt any sort of interaction with it... I guess that renders my tome pointless..... Anyhow.
From here on out there is a collection of angry rambles and reflections on the author's work, he even mentions at some point the fact that his hand is cramping up, you probably skipped this part as you skimmed the pages.
Whoever you are, brave adventurer, I would highly advise that if you do choose to take upon this adventure, bring allies and plenty of them. Carry the tome as well, but be careful, it could quite possibly be old, but I wouldn't know. In these pages is everything you'll need to make it there, but to collect the treasure itself and survive doing it... Well... Good luck I guess?
At the ending of the tome there are numerous drawings of frogs and flowers, it could quite possibly be so that the author had grown mad.
OOC Information
I'm available most of the time, so the roleplay could be fast paced if you please, but I am also patient which means anyone can take upon the journey. I'd suggest gathering a group, but if you're a lone wolf that's cool too. I'm not intent fighting whoever takes upon the quest, that is entirely up to how the encounter turns out. Thanks for reading.

I'm not currently at the cave and won't be for another few days, so if you want to go alone and perhaps load up on some riches then go ahead, just don't expect an encounter!

I'll be sending a group of people that way, but they'll not be looking for treasure. Just want to have a tribe in Askar's glory.
