Jamanticus: Yeah, that was before it got impaled on a tree and the city emptied. This dragon isn't a mindless robot, mind-controlled or not.
Whoever said the order was to burn down the city to kill everyone?
The order can simply be burning down the city, you know.
For example, in a certain anime i watch, even some smart will only order people to "fire" think it will kill the one being fired. Not everyone will think of saying "fire and kill him" right?
Jamanticus: "his dragon isn't a mindless robot, mind-controlled or not..."
How much sense would it make for this clearly smart dragon to come back and waste all that effort destroying a city for no reason?
Isn't a charm what's supposed to make an individual mindless?
Reason? It was ordered to "turn the city into a flaming tomb"...or an order is not good enough a reason for someone to do something?
Jamanticus: Philippa and Sile have demonstrated that they can telepathically communicate with the dragon
Philippa and Sile are running for their lives, especially Phillipa who are probably licking her own wounds. Whether or not they are kind enough to remember telling the dragon to stop rampaging the city if people are all gone is not clear...is it?
My point is that until they have new orders in mind, Philippa and Sile probably leave the dragon alone. And the until the dragon fulfill the order, it's gonna mindlessly trying to.
Jamanticus: the dragon will either communicate to Philippa/Sile that things didn't go as planned and the city has emptied
Therefore, the dragon will not come back to burn down the city, because the sorceresses will have rescinded that order
Whether the dragon reports or not is depend on whether the two sorceresses tell it to or not, yes?
And what's the point of withdrawing the order of burning down the city anyway when there is no new order? which will not be for a while cuz both of them should be busy in licking their wounds
Anyway, the bottom line is that your kind of charm on the dragon
is different from the one i think the dragon has on.
Yours is just too perfect. It's almost like the dragon has a freewill and chose to follow phillipa on its own, using all its knowledge and intelligence on the process. Hell, it can even separate a smart move and what's not and give opinions back to the master.
Mine is less perfect. Mine is a passive mind bound spell that just make the dragon thinks every order given is right and wont think anything other than working on the order
Sorry but your kind of charm is just too much for me. Can't accept such an almighty charm
