I know the dragon. The Yuan ti worship her. They and the dragon are no friends of humans, or your races. Mine either for that fact. That is why I often travel in animal form. If all you need is a scale you will have to venture into their temple. They collect the scales and place them on their alters of worship.

"Is there more than one way into the temple ahead of us? Is there a way to negotiate with the Yuan-ti? Is there something they value?"

The temple has one ground entrance, four underwater passages used by the dragon and a large open roof in the center used when the dragon wishes to fly.

The yuanti are generally evil creatures loyal only to the dragon and themselves. I do not speak their language and try hard to avoid them. I know not if they can be reasoned with. They generally keep clear of the temple unless performing worship. The dragon has been known to snack on his followers.

"I don't think we need to worry about the underwater choices." Oomaq says trying to wring feted swamp water from his tail. "Maybe go in from above? What do you guys think?"

"To save your home, i'll show you the path through the swamp. Do not enter the temple though at night. The dragon sleeps in the day, though that is when the Yuan ti move about within the temple. "

The elf leads you through the swamp to a will hidden area near the temple. Together you wait for the sun to ride high in the sky. Before you a small wooden bridge can be seen with swamp on all sides. The path leads directly to the temple entrance. Several large alligators are sunning themselves on the wooden planks, apparently sleeping.

"Okay so a simple way to get in." Oomaq says as he looks it over. Noticing the alligators he quickly adds. "Ummm...Why don't one of you guys go first this time?"

Meddaar looks at the bridge and it’s sunbathing guests. Checking his rations, he grabs out some meat hoping to get the beasts to leave without having issues. ”Hopefully with this we can get inside. Also I may have an idea for getting our scale without a need for violence.”

At the last minute, Meddarr tosses the meat asides and all three alligators go diving into the water after it clearing the path. Continuing forward along the path a single Yuan-Ti can be seen standing inside the doorway to the temple, nested back within the shadows and out of the sun.

Raising a hand towards the Yaun-Ti in greeting Meddaar steadily closes the distance to the temple. ”We are just passing through and felt it was only right to show our respects to the master of this land at the temple.” (Spoken in Draconic)

The guard hises in reply turning and taking a few steps into the temple before looking back over his shoulder. You get the district impression he wants you to follow. Moving down a long corridor you see a figure come into focus. An elf of some sort is suspended from the ceeling by two chains, his armor, equipment, and wealth dangling under his feet. The creature is clad only in a thick leafy undergarment wrapped around his waist. You are unsure, but the garment appears to be made of poison ivy. The faint rithmic sound of a larger creature snoring can be heard echoing from the down the passage, the direction the bound elf is looking. Your escort leads you up to the hanging creature then points down the only other passage. A single hall to the left perpendicular to your current path. It leads a shot distance to a room barely lit by torches. Several yuanti can be seen near what appears to be an alter. Another is chanting in their native toung and appears to be reading from a book. The light glistening from the book and of the alter reflect an ery and dark light suggesting that dragon scales have been used in the books construction and more are lying on the table. Your own Elvin escort seems visibly upset starting intently at the hanging elf.

Taking his quarterstaff that he’s been using as a ‘walking stick’ he points at the hanging elf. ”Is that supposed to be an offering for the great one? Seems rather scrawny. Is it supposed to be something to pick it’s teeth with? I can remove this eyesore when I leave and give you a donkey. It would make a better offering than this!”(said in draconian again) Meddaar nudges the hanging elf, causing him to sway in the air where he’s hung. ”Surely you want the great black dragon to be happy with your offering and not to be insulted by it.”(said in draconian)

Kretsu lets out a sigh of pain as he sways helplessly. Waking for brief moment from his torment he looks around. Upon seeing another elf. "Please help me. I have no idea what they plan to do with me, but it can't be good. I'm in agony." (said in elvish).

"Well for the quick version, wrong turn. Before I realized my mistake I was hit over the head and woke up here. The gods this itches so bad!" Kretsu replies in Elvish.

"You wish to add the mule to your offering?" the yuan ti asks gesturing towards the non-half dragons, suggesting that he believes they are here as offerings themselves. "The great one will be pleased at such a large offering."

You see several of the Yuan ti including the leader who was previously at the alter make their way down the path. the leader overhearing the last remark replies. "This is a truly acceptable offering indeed. Prepare them while our Lord here fetches the donkey."
Spoiler:
Please roll initiative. @Midwest82 that will include you. To keep it simple it is an action for someone to unlock his character, he can not perform that action himself. As a reminder to midwest his character is not wearing armor, and does not have his weapons.They are on the ground at his feet so he can pickup his weapon on hi@Midwest82

Also for @Midwest82 we use a modified intiative system on here. each player rolls initiative but the rolls create slots. Any player can use any player slot, and any npc can use any npc slot. This keeps us from waiting for specific people to be online and helps keep the gaming moving.

Gage will unleash a Fireball spell on the unsuspecting Yuan-ti. He'll off-center the spell (20ft radius) so as to best encompass the enemy while avoiding himself and the others. If he can do it on a Move action, he'll grab some scales off the altar. He'll use "Misty Step" to teleport 30ft to the altar (bonus action).
