see you, space cowboy.
I have an idea.
>"How about this? We're going out to kill harpies in th mountains. If you can stick it out, you're in. But if at any time you can't take it, you can go back to the caravan. But if you do that, you're off the team. Sound good?"
Long live the New Bev.
>Welcome to the team, but be careful. I'm not going to hold your hand the entire time.

You state your conditions to the small child, who eagerly nods his head.
"I'll stay safe I promise! Just tell me what you need me to do!"
Despite him literally asking to be servant, he's very enthusiastic.

The squire's eyes light up.
"Yessir! You lead I follow!"
The Squire Courtier has joined your group! He's small, and can't fight, but what he lacks in fighting talent he makes up for with youthful enthusiasm. It's always useful to have an extra pair of hands at least.
You're party packs up and rides to the north where the map says the canyon lies.
"So whenever you guys travel, I roll a dice to see if a little event happens, and then roll on a table of events I have prepared, aaaaaaand this is the first one you got.
As you ride towards the canyon, you come close to a mountain, and a foul odor assaults your nose, causing Squire, Incubus, and yourself to break into a fit of coughs. Looking for the source of the foul odor, Incubus spies a structure built into the nearby mountain. It's an old fortress, ramparts battered and crumbled from battle and age alike, a massive, stone door slightly ajar. From every orifice of the structure flows a green mist that glides down the walls and along the ground before dissipating away. It seems you've stumbled upon Dragon Princess III's fortress. You see the Arcane Knight standing just out of reach of the fumes, studying the area in front of him. Do you want to investigate, or continue on to the canyon?
Dead for the foreseeable future. Towergirls will return when I do.
see you, space cowboy.
>Ask Arcane Knight what's up.

The Tranquil Knight
>Ask Arcane Knight what's up.
You approach Arcane Knight and inquire about his business.
"Just weighing our options. We can rescue as many princesses as we want, but we can't finish this business until we've dealt with the three dragon princesses, and their mother, the Dragon Queen. It's quite damning, the eldest is but a brisk walk from where we are now, likely napping the day away, but because of this infernal poison, we can't hope to touch her."

"As tempting an idea as that is, I doubt sending a princess in to deal with Dragon Princess III would work out for anyone. She's a war dragon, a four-armed behemoth with scales harder than diamonds. Getting in will be one thing, stopping her is completely different beast we'll have to deal with."
>Send in armor Princess
> Considering Dragon Princess III's fumes, be extra careful. Make sure Armor Princess isn't affected in any way by the fumes.
You argue again to send in Armor Princess, and Arcane Knight sighs.
"Fine, if you can convince her to head in there, I'm willing to give it a shot. I'm only imposing one condition: I know of a rune that allows me to teleport the object it's placed on back to me. I'm going to place it on her, and the second she gets into trouble, I'm pulling her out."
You bring Armor Princess near the entrance, and tell her your idea. She takes an experimental step into the poison mist, no worse for wear by the looks of it, and she gives you a thumbs up.
>Just thought of something, can we use bombs or flairs on them?
Could you clarify what you mean by that?

Like do we have any explosives in our inventory to at least distract the dragon princesses long enough for us to counter attack?

Here is your character sheet.
I do my best to keep it updated with all of your current stuff. At the moment, the only throwable weapons you have on hand are your kunai.
>Ask how he'll know she's in trouble.
"I'm a mage trained by the masters of the grand archives! A simple clairvoyance spell to let us see what she sees is well within my capabilities."

Arcane Knight waves his hands around in a fluid, practiced motion. Once he finishes, a large blue rune with an indecipherable symbol appears on Armor Princess' shoulder, and two blue dots appear within her flames. Suddenly, you lose sight for a short moment. When you open your eyes again, you see yourself standing next to Arcane Knight. You give an experimental wave, and sure enough, you're looking through Armor Princess' eyes.
"Well then, let's get started. We'll be watching your back, my princess."
Your vision bobs up and down for a moment as Armor Princess nods. She turns around goes to the front of the fortress, entering it through the ajar door. The inside of the fortress can only be described as 'cavernous,' a massive, empty room, with pillars both untouched and crumpled dotting the room. Looking around you spot broken tables, stands, and carts left behind by the previous denizens on the fortress. There are three large passageways in the room, one in each cardinal direction and just as large as the one you entered through, but without an actual door to block them off. Where would you like to direct Armor Princess?

Don't step on the flowers.
> Forward.
"YOU SHALL FEEL THE FLOWER'S WRATH"
The Tranquil Knight
> Forward.
Armor Princess marches straight on, heading through the passageway in front of her.
On the other side is another large room, not as big as the main area, but large nonetheless. Tattered banners line the walls, showing crests of kingdoms you've never heard of. In the back of the room is an especially large banner, showing a dragon man in regal blue armor. Underneath the banner is a large, flat slab of raised stone. Lying on top of it is the sleeping form of Dragon Princess III. She lays on her side with her back to you. You can hear her breathing, every exhale accompanied by a burst of green gas flowing into the room. She hasn't noticed you enter the room.
>Try to befriend her!
we shall conquer the world!

The Tranquil Knight
>Wonder why a reptile has breasts.
You briefly ponder this, but then realize that in this world there is a princess that is literally a sword, and you should probably stop questioning these things.
> Just be very quiet.
Armor Princess' stealth mode has been engaged! She's being as quiet as she can be, the only noise being the faint clinking of her armor.
>Tiptoe around her
>Befriend her
>Try to befriend her!
Armor Princess silently moves to Dragon Princess III's front. It takes moment since she's trying to be quiet, and DPIII is massive, but eventually she's there. Armor Princess tries to call out a friendly greeting but... She's mute. Whoops. Thankfully nothing bad happens, DPIII is definitely asleep. She continues to breathe peacefully, occasionally scratching at her pudgy stomach with one of her four hands.
>meow.
You make a meowing noise, for no reason other than you can. It felt nice.

> If it's that important, sure. Just make sure not to get into too much battles, okay? I don't want to accidentally kill a kid.
"I'll stay out of trouble, I promise!"
>"It's dangerous out there. You sure about this?"
"Absolutely! I'll be the best squire you could ask for!"
>Where are your parents, kiddo?
"My parents are back at the kingdom. They said I could come out here, but I could only venture out if I was attended by a knight."
