Chp 2: The Terror of Tal'Dorei Part 2
YN: Man, whoever lives here must be rich enough to get the whole family drunk. (Smirk.) Hey Vax, maybe we should snatch some gold in the house while we're at it.
Vax: (Smirk.) Huh, not a bad idea.
Scanlan: Sturdy lock. (Smirk.) Nothing a little magical song can't handle. (Clears throat before singing.)
🎶 Open your back door, baby. 🎶
🎶 Loosen your hinges I'll show you my key. 🎶
He tries to unlock it with his magic but it did nothing.
Scanlan: Damn. (Pushes the door.) That usually works.
Keyleth: (Smiles.) What if I heat the metal and melt the lock?
Keyleth tries to heat the lock with her magic but still nothing. Leaving a small fire on Scanlan shirt since he was too close of the heated lock.
Scanlan: (Grunts and immediately puts the fire out.) What the hell, Keyleth? This is imported silk!
Pike: The lock doesn't seem to be magical. I'm not sensing anything.
Vex: Can you people do nothing right? Its just a dam door.
YN: Okay move aside.
YN was a bout to use his magic but then Vax got in the way and uses a toothpick from Grog sandwich to pick the lock and successfully opens it.
Vax: All it takes is a little fitness...amateurs.
Vax walks in while everyone was speechless.
Grog: (Frustrated.) That was my toothpick.
YN: (Sigh.) Let's just get going before Fince realizes us.
They enter and look around in the house.
Keyleth: (Surprise.) Wow, this place is fancy.
Percy: Apparently Krieg lives here. And has dreadful taste in art.
YN: You don't think he mind that we steal his valuables right?
Scanlan: (Realizes.) Oh, shit. I bet Fince is here to assassinate his ass.
Vex: (Sarcasm.) Oh, you think? (To the others.) Why don't you three head to the second floor. Scanlan and Grog, search the attic. The rest of us will start here.
Just then they heard a clicking sound and Vax remove the carpet revealing a trap door.
Vax: Or maybe we all just go check the cellar.
YN: Be on your guard, there's no telling what else he's got.
Everybody nods before Vax open it and YN head down first to see since he can see through the dark.
YN: (Whispers.) All clear.
One by one they head down as YN scout ahead before they join up and continue further. Soon they found Fince is stealing some documents in the bookshelf.
Scanlan: Aha!
Fince turns around with his dagger and see they have their weapons ready.
Scanlan: We caught you blue-handed, chicken humper! Drop your blade.
Fince: What? No, no, you don't understand. I'm not stealing anything.
YN: Says the one stealing the documents.
Pike: And that sword isn't to murder general Krieg with either right?
Grog: (Whispers to Pike.) Pike, I think it is.
Fince: You must listen to me. These documents are evidence. General Krieg is planning to-
Before he could finish his sentence, he was stabbed from behind by a sword. This surprised all of use to see that it was general Krieg himself who's smiling.
Vex: What!?
V & V: Krieg!
Vax: Nice bloody technique. How did you stay so quiet in that armor-
YN immediately grabbed his crossbow and shoot him but Kreig deflected the arrow with his sword.
Vax: (Surprise.) YN what the hell?
YN: Its him, he's the one!
Suddenly, Vex's head starting to get a high-pitching ring.
Vex: Oh no.
She's hears ringing in her head as Vax caught her before she collapse.
Vex: YN's right! He's the one, in league with the-
Krieg: Of course it was me. I championed you because you're a bunch of witless oafs who no one gives two shites about. (Hold up his sword.) You've been lucky so far, but you have no idea what you have gotten yourself into.
Vax and YN look at each other before nodding.
Vax: I've got him.
Vax steps up and quickly throw knives at him while YN shoots another arrow. Krieg deflected the knives but YN manage to his his shoulder, though his armor protected him from the arrow. He ran in to another room before Vax magically retrieves his sword.
Keyleth: Finesse huh?
YN: We can't let him get away!
They ran after him to the other room. Once they were there, the room was empty.
Scanlan: (Shock.) He's gone.
Percy: Quite the keen observation, Scanlan.
Everyone spread out.
Percy: There must be a hidden exit or a trap door. Fan out. Look for some kind of fulcrum.
Grog: (Confused.) Wait, a fuck room?
Vax: I mean, that's what I heard.
YN: English glass man. No one here speaks jibbirish
Percy: A lever, a button. Just...stand very there, Grog, and don't touch anything.
YN: Better.
Everybody looks around in the room for any clues.
Pike: Whao. You guys, everything in this room is magical. Where do we even start?
YN: No idea, maybe one of them has to be like a portal or something.
Grog looks around and sees the portrait which made him gasp.
Grog: Oh. (Gasp.) Oh, my.
Grog: Oh how booty-ful. (Gasp.)
Kayla: This guy really has a thing for dragons.
She looks down and sees a carpet with 5 dragons.
She heard Grog chuckling and sees that he's gazing on the sexy dragon girl.
Keyleth: Grog, its rude to stare. (Frustrated.) Grog, you're being gross.
Grog couldn't hear her since he's still gazing at it until Keyleth throws the book at him, it hit his head but then it went through the portrait which got everyone's attention.
Pike: (Smiles.) Oh! Keyleth, you found it! Its a portal!
Vax: (Exhales.) Nice work. (Smiles.) Brilliant, really.
Keyleth: (Chuckles.) Oh. It was nothing.
Vex: She threw a book at a head. It was nothing.
YN: Come on, Vex. Give her some credit, we'd be sitting ducks if it weren't for her.
Keyleth: T-Thanks.
Vex: Fine.
Grog put his hand through the portal.
Grog: (Gasp.) My arms! Scanlan, look it!
Grog: (Gasp.) They're in the booty! (Pulls him arms back.) That is so cool.
Vex: Listen, if we're gonna fight Krieg, we have to do this as a team, all right? Organized. As one.
Scanlan: Please, we (Chuckles.) We don't do organized. Look at us. We're Vox Machina. We fuck shit up.
YN: Surprisingly neither of us died already.
Vex: Can we at least try?
Vax: Can we at least go, already? Lead the way big man.
YN: Whoa, whoa. I don't do portals, I hate it.
Vex: (Pushes him.) Ugh. Just shut up and go.
One by one, they went through the portal except for Scanlan.
Scanlan: You know what guys, uh good luck. I'm just gonna keep a lookout from here.
In an instant, Vax pulls him in the portal. Once they're through, they arrive in a cold cave.
Keyleth: (Shivers.) So cold. What is this place.
Vex: High in the mountains, I'd say.
YN: Well, its cold enough. So its gotta be somewhere in the mountain.
Vax: Wherever we are, we're far from Emon.
Soon everyone saw what made their eyes widen.
YN: Uh guys?
Scanlan: No way.
Vex: (Shivers.) Gold. (Laughs.) Gold!
Grogs laugh as some of them slide down to the gold.
Percy: Seems excessive for a council members.
Vax: (Smirks.) Seems excessive for anyone.
The rest join them and they start collecting the treasures.
Scanlan: Magic scrolls, jewels, potion. Is this a troll dick?
Grog: (Smiles.) Think of all the ale I could buy.
Pike: (Smiles.) Buddy, we could be drunk for weeks.
Grog: (Smiles.) Days even!
Scanlan: (Smiles.) You know what, Uriel can keep his paltry payment. WE'RE RICH!
YN: Guys stop! Something not right here.
Scanlan: What are you talking about? We got all the gold here!
Vex: Wait. Wait, wait, wait! He's right, this gold didn't fall out of the fucking sky. This is a horde!
Everyone drops the treasures they were holding.
Vex: We're in a dragon's lair!
Keyleth saw something strange and she takes a closer look at it.
Keyleth: Those are pretty. But also...ominous.
Suddenly one of them reveals an green dragon eye and saw Keyleth who jump scared. Then it made a creepy voice.
???: Intruders.
As soon as it closes its eyes, the stone destroy itself.
YN: The hell was that?
Keyleth: (Nervous.) I didn't do that. Did it do that? I don't think I did.
Just then, Vex hears a ringing again in her head while YN medallion vibrates. They look around until they hear a familiar voice.
Krieg: I mist say, I'm impressed.
Krieg: To tell you the truth, I was certain you would die the moment you met the mighty Brimscythe. But it seems some vermin are harder to kill than others.
Vex: (Glares.) You-you wanted Uriel to send the entire army out of Emon. So your dragon friend could wipe them out.
YN: For the last time, he's the dragon.
Vex: Shut it!
Krieg: The age of man is coming to the end. There was a time when dragons riled all of Tal'Dorei, (Evil smirk.) when we ruled the entire world.
Percy: Did he just say "we"?
Krieg began to transform into a dragon. Once his transformations complete, he let out a loud roar. Everyone were shock and surprise that YN was really right.
Scanlan: (Shocking.) Guess YN was right all along huh Vex?
YN: (Smirk.) Ha, I won the bet.
