That storyteller threw a Metallic dragon behind goblins? WRONG

[vanyelinla]

Okay so I get you want to have a story teller who is being outlandish and horrendous in his storytelling, but even an idiot in the forgotten realms universe wouldn't insult the Good dragons, protectors of the realm, in his story about the adventurers. Even a 5 year old in this world knows Red, Black, Blue, Green and White dragons (and expanded mythos Brown, Purple, Grey and Yellow) are evil and Gold, Silver, Copper, Bronze and Brass (and in expanded mythos 5e Mercury, Iron, Steel and platinum) are good. Quoted from the Forgotten Realms site "Altruistic and Righteous creatures".

To have Volo even partially say "was the dragon of the silver or brass variety" is like he was speaking a desecration in the druid grove...

Yeah, that was so confusing to me, too. At first I thought he meant the brass/silver dragon was on my side, because that's the only thing that made sense in my head lmao. And I mean we're talking about Volo here. The guy who wrote Volo's Guide to Monsters.

Its volo, from volos guide to everything, he is a famous storyteller in the universe.

also the metallic dragons are considered good but are still questionabel morally since they work on a different moral scale, a brass dragon will talk for hours with people whether they want to or not, so they might very well keep you as a "conversation partner"

Similarly silver dragons are extreme elitists who thinks they are above all creatures, and most wont seek out injustice to help but will help if someone asks them.

But there is NO possible reason either a Silver or a Brass would be following a lowly band of goblins at all. Questionable morals aside this is an extremely low powered group of GOBLINS, Volo would only have spoken about a Chromatic dragon in this instance.

This is referring to his recording of your "account" against the goblins and where he suggests there was a dragon to fell, right?

Given how it's Volo the stuff he's going over with you probably is only the rough draft of his epic tale and in his madness is probably going to twist the band of goblins from being a bunch of chew toys into a fearsome force so mighty that even a *brass* dragon is forced to kneel to their orders.

that or he is gonna turn the players into goblins and say they raided an innocent village with a silver dragon in it.

Because he's creating a tall tale. That's why. He even says so. He also accepts that it was shape-shifted devas attacking. Devas are good right? Maybe there's something evil lurking in the camp to justify the attack. I mean, actually, there are at least two distinct evil things things there

Brass, maybe since they take rash decisions but Silver!? Hell no

Even a Gold makes sense since they act in accordance to their own justice but Silver Dragons are THE most friendliest to humanoids and they even mate with them, spending their lives polymorphed

Speak with the bear behind Volo, twice. Can be done with spell or warlock invocation.

You will see what kind of character in BG3 Volo is.

[Chiramu]

That was the point of Volo OP...

[Sheelba of the Eyeless Face]

You didn't see the dragon?
