Creature  Feuereches --Be careful of it's poison! While not deadly, it can and will put you out of action with a high fever for weeks. Feed them boukens and silx. It considers onds and flowquettes very tasty as well! You will need to keep them in a large cage or enclosure till you've tamed them so that they don't fly of. »»» Only those in the Kindred or Adept stages or above many attempt to train them. They are very poisonous so great care needs to be taken. That or you must have attempted to train a total of 10 animals before, include success and failures. »»» For Step 1: -20 to capture unless you can fly or control the wind (Orderites, Ayrala Dovaa, any Khehora, and master stages with large enough wings), then it's only -10. They live exclusively in the air and are very fast so catching them is difficult. Step 1 Taming Tries: 8 (60% chance at success) Arrical :: 1 Fail :: 1 Trained Dactyls :: 1 Fail :: 1 Trained Lirkrepts :: 3 Fails. Feuereches : 1 caught Items: Olive Taming Jewel x1 (5/5 charges): +10 to catch any animal.(Step 1: Capture) Talisman of Second Chances x1 (2/3 charges left): Allows me a re-roll per charge in an adventure Khehorian ability: +20 to first step Help: +5 for having Sulu help him. Total: -10 (critter)+20 (ability) +5 (hep) +5 Familiarity =+20 +20 for ability 41 (Sulu) +40=81 for a success!

Toki thought for a moment. "Well, why not try talking to the Magescians instead? Start with the young ones. They are more amendable to new ideas. Older hunters will keep on hunting since that's what they are used to. But perhaps if you change enough of the younger generation's minds then there will be less hunting. Once the hunting lessons, then the Dragons may be able to see reason... It's a long shot but worth it." He said with a gentle smile. Looks like she's had a tough time!
"As for taming." He said as he looked down. "First you have to catch it with out harming it...."

Suluksati Aedaun Alikhovan Taming Record: ~~~~ Suluksati nodded. "I thought about that, but apparently... I'm not very convincing... They still grow up to become hunters anyway, even after I talk to them..." She looked down at the Fuereches swarming below. One came close, shuddering suddenly, as if it had hit an invisible force. The same force that made her feathers tingle and fluff out, perhaps? She dove at it, enclosing it in her claws like a cage. "Like this?" she asked, moving it awkwardly so that he could smell it or sense it or feel it - whatever the elder chose to do. "I have it..." she said, realizing that speech would be more useful, "enclosed in my claws, like a cage... it seems dazed."

Toki nodded when he heard her reply; it was to be expected. “People don’t change easily. But once you can convince a few, they in turn will be able to talk and convince others. It may be a small thing right now, but eventually, like a pebble starting an avalanche, you may find you’ve caused a change. Hopefully at least. The future cannot be seen, so who knows what will happen.” He heard her move and grab something that squalled and made a racket as it was caught and smelled like the creature he’d held onto briefly. “Ah, that should work. Though we’ll have to find some way to bind or cage it till it calms down.” He said as he socked it slightly into a stunned state. “Come along, we’ll need to find some place where we can stay and try to tame it.” Now, what did these things eat? It had the body much like a snake from what he had felt, so perhaps small rodents? They were winged so it needed a cage or pen large enough to fly in. Perhaps I can create a cage of lightning to keep it contained? (300 words reached for step 1)

That one small khehora in a big world of dragon hunters could change things... that was her only hope. She rumbled a quiet, if neutral assent. "But that still means I have to convince someone and so far..." she rumbled, frustrated, "So far that still eludes me..." She banked easily, flying along with him, her keen eyes searching - moreso when she remembered that he was blind. It was easy to forget, with the ease he moved around and the way he seemed, somehow, to be the most confident person she had met. Definitely she thought, There are more ways of seeing than just with the eyes."There's a hollow down there, I think." she said, flapping a little ahead, "Away from the rest of the swarm." Which would be good - She didn't want to be stung. She had been once and it had been miserable - completely miserable. She shook herself a little, shaking the static from her feathers with a long, sinuous movement from head to tail. It wasn't very efficient, but it did reduce the static that made her feathers, alternately, cling to her body and fluff out, modulating the effect somewhat. She realized her description was inadequate. "It's this way." she said, flying a little ahead. "So we caught it. How do we... tame? it?" she asked. (324/300)

DraconicFeline Step 2:Need 60-100. +5 Familiarity, +5 Help -5 Khehora. Toki's roll: 14+5= 19 FAIL Sulu's roll: high enough for a success Editing this for more words, sorry bout the double quote! Toki followed Sulu as she flew to the hollow. With his static field he could sense it, so flying there wasn't too much of an issue. He could sense the spires that were hidden in the mists and moved out of the way in time.The mist did nothing for him.. well actually it did, it made his bones ache. But otherwise he was unaffected where others might get lost. "Drop it inside and I'll make a cage to contain it." He said when they got close to the opening he sensed below them. It was large enough for them but tapered off to a smaller corner where he should be able to stash the creature comfortably. "As for taming, I've had some luck with bribing them." He said with a dry chuckle. "Feeding a creature till it realizes that you're an easy source of food will keep one around. Then you have to try and teach it... which is the more difficult task I believe."

Quote: Taming Assist: +5 Familiarity, +5 help, -5 Khehora I THINK ITS A SUCCESS ROBO Suluksati obeyed her elder, happy to have an elder to obey for a change. She dropped the wiggling creature, curious to see what he meant by cage. She knew what a cage was, but... a cage of lightning? Or of magic in general? Weren't they usually made out of metal, cages? Suluksati had to assume that there was a reason for that. "... I should think that that would work on just about everything." said Suluksati, chuckling slightly. It sounded so unfamiliar as it reached her ears, and he realized she hadn't laughed, actually laughed, in a very long time. She tried to remember the last time she'd laughed. She didn't think she could. Had it been around the Blood Moon? Or had it been that time when she'd eaten some bad prey? She couldn't remember. "It would certainly work for me." she added, thinking, briefly, about how hungry she probably was. Probably. She had no idea anymore - long months - years - of not eating right had made her digestion strange and uncertain. "But... teach? It? How would one teach..." she looked at the wriggling creature, "This? And what?"(191/300)

DraconicFeline Sweet! Yay for your high rolls! Toki built thin bolts of lightning that flickered and crackled across the opening, though they weren't bright enough to blind, they were strong enough to stun anything small that tried to break them. He chuckled along with Sulu. "I think of the creatures as orakoi: short attention span, always hungry, and apt to throw temper tantrums. If you look at it that way, then you can see some ways of teaching them."He gently butted her side with his snout. "What is the question. I was thinking something this fast would be good for using as a messenger. But first, food. We should go and gather some. Enough for us and it." He wasn't too hungry, but food was something he could always find space to fit. The desert meant sometimes you had to go long times between meals. " If we feed it right off the bat, perhaps it will calm down."

Suluksati smiled at the thought of Orakoi. She loved orakoi, and children in general. They were so vulnerable and in need of protection, and yet had so much potential. They could be great heroes or masterful villains, though she hoped that the young ones she had talked to during her journey would choose the former path, not the latter. And maybe think twice before hunting a dragon. "So again patience..." she said tilting her head at it thoughtfully as it wiggled in its lightning and stone prison, "That seems the key to everything." Elder Toki really was wise. The mention of food instantly - and somewhat guiltily - brightened her mood. "Er. Yes." she said, nudging him playfully - and awkwardly - back with a slight surprised purr - nonhostile physical contact had been few and far between for Sulu since her orakoir years. "But should one of us not stay here and make sure it does not become a meal itself?" (353/300)

Quote: step 3 Training 5 (hep) +5 Familiarity WIN! WHOOOOOOOO "Oh of course!" Toki agreed." I'll stay here. You'll probably fare better in a hunt than I." Which was true. He hadn't actually hunted for his food in decades. It just didn't make sense to have the blind shaman out hunting and wasting time when he could be at the lairs teaching. "I will try something while you are out, it may work, may not." Perhaps his Khehorian form would scare the little thing less.

Suluksati somehow doubted it, but she nodded, curious. What was he going to try? Well, she would find out when she got back, food being imperitive to her as well.
"Be back soon, then, elder." she said, ducking her head respectively before flying off into the wilds of Ayr.
She scanned the comparatively lush canyons below, seeking some suitable prey. Ayr was not a rich source of prey, but - from time to time when one knew where to look - they could be found.
She spied a clump of brightly colored feathers, stalking alone over the stony stormy lands, and, silently, swooped down, breaking its neck with her dive and digging her claws in to carry it away.
An alkara would do nicely, and be a snack, too, for her and the elder. Carrying her heavy burden in her claws, she flew through the canyons back to the cave that she had found for them...
"Elder?" she called, landing before dragging the argaroo towards the lightning cage, She dropped it nearby and sidled over, looking in curiously, "I thought we might have some too..." she stopped, her voice trailing off.
"You..." she gasped, awed, "You're a khehorian..."

Toki had shifted to his smaller less threatening form of Khehroian, hoping it would make the creature less nervous. He was crouched near the Feuereches, a hand against the lightning bars talking to it gently, hoping to calm it down.. When Suluksati came back he couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction. "Yes I am." Was all he said as he shifted slightly to turn her way some more, his tail shifting to balance him. He sniffed the air and smiled. "An Alkara? That should be enough to feed you and me with some left over right?" The small creature held behind the lightning bars gave a soft whine when it smelled the meat as well. Toki smiled, perhaps bribing it was going to be the easiest!

She dragged the alkara inside, setting it down neatly and stealing another awed glance at his two legged, powerful form. "Yes, elder, it is." she said, "And I thought so too - that you might, perhaps, be hungry as well..." her stomach rumbled to remind her that she too was hungry. "It was easier to spot, too." She sat on the other side of the lightning cage and began to pluck the feathers of the great bird with her mouth, yanking great chunks of feathers from it until there was a nest's worth of downy feathers and a mostly denuded bird, ready to be devoured and apportioned as needed. Of course, the Elder would get the first portion. That was only right. He was, after all, a khehorian... "Pardon me, Elder," she began, a question rising to the top of her mind. She sat up, politely away from her kill, "How long have you been a Khehorian?" she asked. She wasn't sure why she needed to know, or what difference it would make if she did. "Were you a khehorian when I first met you, back on Soldul?"

Toki chuckled, “No young one, I only recently underwent the Ritual. Wasn’t going to do it at all but… events happen.” He sighed. Much as the new power was nice (and the smaller form better to calm animals) it was something he still wished he hadn’t had to do. But what was done was done. And, since she had sat back and it looked like she was going to let him have first dibs (being old was nice for some things!) he took off a chuck and handed it through the bars to the creature before taking some more for himself. Then he motioned for her to get the rest. He wasn’t too hungry and this smaller form took less energy. (300 reached!)

"Oh." It was less embarrassing, then, to know that she had not missed such an important fact so long ago. "Why, if I may ask..." she said, watching him feed the creature. She waited a moment after he was done to make sure before approaching to delicately take a share of the kill. "Did you not want to do the ritual?" Such power was tempting, and useful. She herself had thought about it, though she had no idea how it would come about. She watched as the creature ate the meat. "It seems calm." she remarked, tilting her head.
