Moving up to the edge of the roof, George listens for any sounds out of the ordinary. "Yes I am here. I understand you are old enough to be careful, I am here to ease your father's mind." He says as he looks from the view. "Anything you say to me can be considered in confidence. My loyalty to you is second only to my loyalty to your father. This of course still means anything that concerns your safety will be brought to him if I should find myself unable to take care of it."
While George's loyalty lies with those who have helped him, this in no way stops his search for information. So long as the two are not opposing there is no reason to contend them.

Callo can make out the symbol on her necklace : It is the family crest that can be seen on all the flags and banners: In Draconic it reads, My beloved ANNABELINDA, I will always be with you, love mother. To know who she is it is a K(nobility and royalty) skill roll and you may do so if you have the skill.
The blue dragon has no mark belong to any dragon nation that can be seen, not even to a blue one. He remains a mystery to her as of right now.
To George: " well it is about a boy dragon. Does liking a blue dragon that i meet today concern my well being? I hope not cause he looked so cute and he made me laugh. So my question is does that mean i like him? I don't want to tell dad for i know dad has never like any of my boyfriends. I would like to spend time with the blue dragon to get to know him, but how can I if you and the others all over me 24/7? I don't want him to be scared off. I just so confused as to what to do and i don't even know if he likes me back. Can you see if the blue dragon likes me?"
one level down Callo can hear this as well :
" Um sis i have a question for you. How do you know if well um i don't know how to say this um... (looking really shy) with a sigh: "How do you know if a girl dragon likes you i mean likes more then a friend kind of way? the reason i ask is well cause i meet one and she blushed and batted her eyelashes at me, does that mean she likes me?"
( for new people in the game there is a young blue dragon that is a Pc's half brother. it is her animal companion yet i oked it to be a dragon, for the player gave me good back-story and it fit in nicely.)

I did not know 100% what you were going for there. To truly know and see through it you need the spell true sight or the glasses of true sight. just like they would need to see your true form.
you can tell it is used by your kind yes, but that does not mean he is using it actively ( it is not giving off magic but you know that they are ). you would know how they work and the kind of magic in them yes. him having one does lead to suspensions that is fair but does not automatically just give him away for not having the skill, only that he is not very good and depends on the item to do it well unlike you .
That can if you wish lead to a seance motive roll vs a disguise for i think it only fair he still get the chance to roll the disguise and can fail it if he wishes to. also i take this is how the + and - for the situation: your suspicious of him and recognize the clasp so = +4 to Callo, George under a magical thing (the clasp has a spell on it) so book says any magic item that helps change what you look like magically gets +10 to his roll. I take it that is what the clasp does if not i need to be told what it does. this can be found on pg 73 players handbook.
If Callo does win she will know from the seance motive that he is not a true half dragon and has shapechanged most likely with the item to look like one but is standing out to Callo but is not to the others only her. Is that ok and fair with everyone?

That can if you wish lead to a seance motive roll vs a disguise [dice=20]+24  Terrible waste of a good roll given the huge gap in skill ranks. Dice are hot for Callo right now though (touch wood) She can't see through the disguise without magic, it's more a case of the clasp causing Callo to look more closely and noticing that the little details in the way he moves, speaks, and reacts that are not like those of a true dragon - a very poor actor in a very good costume. Perhaps most tellingly he lacks that subtle aura of awe and dread that all dragons possess to one degree or another (and in what i'm sure is an oversight, doesn't appear to speak draconic)I take it that is what the clasp does [rand=99514952912550979655995166696638679923305408223532691162893907943] |

(Yes you would probably be able to tell i don't act like normal dragons. But any normal dragons would probably just attribute that to the fact that i am not like normal dragons XD lol. I dont belong to any major family, i hold no title in any lands. I have no history nor reputation, and the only thing i covet or try to hoard is knowledge. So to them i must just seem queer. To someone looking for it i might seem different than the entire dragon race, but the very things that set you off about me not being a dragon also set you off of any other race, i don't act a thing like any race you have ever encountered before either.)
"A boy blue dragon? An interesting predicament. His making you laugh could spell his interest, or it could simply be his way of ingratiating himself to you. If you really wish to know if he is interested be patient. If the boy is worth angering your father then he will make the attempt to see you himself. Should he not be brave enough to make the move, then it means his feelings are not strong enough to over come his fear. Should he not be interested enough to try then you prevent yourself from making a mistake. I can make some inquiries at a later date, but for today why don't we see what he does." George says with a smile. He hasn't spent much time in this land, but children have this affect on him. Innocence of youth, something he was never allowed, is so precious it warms his heart to see it. But he also knows how easily it can be taken advantage of...

She hugs George , " Thank you for your help i feel a lot better now. I'll return to my chamber room and get ready.Your a good friend George and are family is lucky to have you. I should be ok in there but ill call out if i need you. " she fly's off to her chamber and he can see her enter through the window in her tower.
She was safe for now, and it may be time to introduce himself to the second person on his list.

Gathering his resolve, George shoots out into the sky. Going to a safe place he meets up with his Hawk. Flying along side him he says, "You know, you still have not told me your name. Your assistance is readily available, yet your name is not. Well do me a favor friend, keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary around here. Fare well."
Taking his leave of his animal companion, George flies to where they would roost the ambassadors.

you would know she is in the gust wing, and your able to find it just fine. My question is do you come through the window or knock on the door? more dramatic if you use the window . Meanwhile in the room: what are people doing ? |

" Um sis i have a question for you. How do you know if well um i don't know how to say this um... (looking really shy) with a sigh: "How do you know if a girl dragon likes you i mean likes more then a friend kind of way? the reason i ask is well cause i meet one and she blushed and batted her eyelashes at me, does that mean she likes me?" Nokomis was surprised by the question, but answered as best she could, " I'm not the best person to answer that kind of question. In all my years I've found few that were willing to accept me a s a friend, and none that wanted to be more than friends. I wouldn't think that a Sand dragon would be interested in a Blue dragon, but that does sound unusual." |

His eyes looking at the ground rather sad about the news his sister thought she had no friends. then wanting to cheer her up says: you will find someone to love you sis and i think these people here are your friend. I don't know if what you said helps me understand all of this but thank you for trying. He walks over to the only other female in the room. "um miss ambassador you must have been around female dragons at some point, do you have any advice about this kind of thing and what i should do ? "
As he says this there is a knock at the door. ( George )

Callo checked the position of the sun. It would be necessary to locate a good spot for the scrying bird prior to the end of it's magical concealment - somewhere that would not draw undue attention, and at the end of the meeting it could simply be dismissed and created anew.
As the magical concealment began to wane Callo moved to the location she had chosen for her own concealment, a damaged part of the city not suitable for habitation and full of debris and other obstructions and that she could disappear into if needed. With a simple incantation she summoned up a portal into a protected space and unpacked a few of her possessions for the long night.

Nokomis scans the room as her brother goes to answer the door. Although she did not think it was the case, a knock on the door could be a distraction to start an ambush. The natural tendency would be for everyone to look towards the door, so she looked everywhere else.
It wasn't that she was being paranoid, it's just that she's taking her assigned task as bodyguard seriously. And it's part of the job description of a bodyguard (at least for a good one) to act paranoid. Thus she is not at all surprised when she sees nothing amiss.

Callo is well hidden in her spot, after about half an hour or so a dwarf comes into the rundown room, looks all around. As he looks he looks right at the portal but show no sign of seeing the portal or the person behind it. Callo had done a fine job hiding it. It seams as though this was not a private hiding spot as she though. In dwarfish " Ok the coast is clear guys we are safe, they can't find us in here but we need to make this quick before the next patrol comes" then a few gnomes and dwarfs file in about 45 in all with a good mix of both races. A box is set in what is a flat and clear patch with the ruble moved away the best it could be and a dwarf stands on top of it. he unfolds a map on the far back wall and hammers in some iron rods to have it stay up so all can see including callo. She has a clear view of the map and has no trouble seeing over them. It seams to be a map of the city and has diagrams drawn on them. the largest dwarf then says "Now lets get to it. The ambassador being here final gives us the opportunity we need. we can have 5 of us set the charges at the NE and SW wall: he then uses a quill. we set the charges there, there and here. and set them in the same places along the SW wall as well. the opening in the NW wall will get the rest to escape to the Mts. the 20 of us have a different task. We must kidnap his daughter and hold her hostage to hold off and stall the sand dragon army until the rest of the "Bronze army" has escaped. to get her is the job of you 10. she should be in her chamber right about now if she is not then we go with plan B. regardless so you should prep and leave as soon as this meeting is over. we have had are human friends obtain some time ago outfits of waiters, it is time we put them to use. we then use the servers entrance. we cause mass confusion in the room buy using are gnome friends alchemy creations, and using are fire arms to kill any guards. we should have a few marksmen that being you 5 fire into the room through the main chamber windows just in case it gets ugly in there. Drivers have carts standing by so we can make are get away, and we lead the carts to the SW to draw them away from the main exit. we set off the charges of that wall then and not any sooner. we don't want the army to road block us on the way out. with any luck we may reach the brass dragons in a few weeks. If you get caught your on your own. " Bronze Thunders dismissed". and he rolls up the map and start to burn it. These Callo would have herd about as the dwarfs and gnomes that have alluded the sand dragon army for some time, and have caused much mayhem within the city.

Meanwhile: the door to the ambassadors chamber opens and there before the party stands George. The young blue is very exited when he sees what he thinks is another blue half dragon. " Hi have you come to tell us that your our long lost half brother? Do you have any news to tell us from the mean older blues?"
