[QUOTE="RoughCoronet0, post: 9311849, member: 7031665"] I’ve used dragons in my current campaign in various ways that have been fun for myself and the group. One of the earlier quests my players embarked on was investigating strange going’s on in an overgrown forest a couple of days travel from the Dwarven capital. Some of the capital’s griffon guards spotted suspicious activity near the forest’s edge, but the canopy of the forest was too thick for them to gather anymore information. There investigation led them to an old abandon mining tunnel filled with shady sorts that had been kidnapping newborn chromatics dragons and transforming them into Dragonspawn, which in my world are horrific abominations created from foul and aberrant demonic magic and the mutilated and sewn together body parts of dragons (usually chromatics). The party were able to rescue five wyrmlings, some of them already showing signs of mutation caused by the foul magic being used to prepare them for the gruesome Dragonspawn ritual. The boss of this operation was a corrupted young gold dragon, claiming to be following orders given to her by Mephilia, the Platinum Valkyrie and goddess of Battle, Bravery, Loyalty, Vigilance, and patron deity of Metallic dragons. However, it became clear to the party that something more malevolent and alien held control over the dragons mind and they were forced to fight her. While the dragon at first fought like a typical gold dragon, moving gracefully across the battlefield and fighting tactically, once bloodied she went on a rampage, black ichor pouring from her wounds, her eyes, and her mouths as she ripped her wings apart before they mutated into horrid, acidic tendrils that lashed out at the party and the wyrmling they were protecting, trying to corrupt them. The players told me after that fact that this battle was chilling yet awesome. They were eventually able to down the dragon. One of the player who was playing a character with a history of dealing with souls and soul corruption attempted and was successful in capturing the dragons soul, freeing it from her abberant master, and now it acts a one of his spirit companions. Kind of like a Pokémon. [/QUOTE]
