Holy Crap, that worked!?

So my brother was running a long-term Palladium Fantasy campaign and we were deep in to it. A little backstory, before our current trek, my Wolfen Paladin Rangus had been gifted a strange jewel on a chain and our party had no idea what it was for. Fast forward to the present and we had just barely escaped from a temple as it collapsed around us. To get to our next destination we needed to travel through a fire swamp in jungle. My brother rolls for our first random encounter; a red dragon.

Dragon: You must pay tribute to cross my lands. What do you offer!?

Rangus (Me): *in a fit of desperation and lack of ideas, holds up the jewel* Be gone foul beast! (Or something to that effect)

Dragon: *nostrils flare and eyes widen* You will give that to me now, mortal!

Sorcerer (ooc): Dude he really wants it! We can’t just give it to him, it’s gotta be powerful!

Priest (ooc): Yeah don’t do it. We can take him!

Me: *knowing we’re really banged up and have no way of winning* …how about a trade instead of a tribute? We’ll give this to you without a fight on exchange for a ride across your lands.

Everyone else (ooc): No! What’re you doing!?

Brother (GM): Alright. Make a persuasion roll.

Me: *Nat 20*

GM: *laughs* Alright, the dragon reluctantly agrees.

So I effectively saved us almost a week’s worth of travel and near certain death in the swamps. On the way there the priest managed to patch us up a bit too. I knew I had to try to get that jewel back. After we land, everyone else starts to walk away while Rangus just stands there.

Me: I have another offer, dragon!

Everyone else ooc: WTF! YOU’RE GONNA GET US KILLED! STFU!

Dragon: You test my patience, mortal…

Me: I want that jewel back. And in exchange I can offer you something far more powerful than that paltry trinket.

A little more backstory, the temple we just collapsed? It housed the Water of Life.

GM: Okay…make another persuasion roll with a -10 for trying to fuck with a dragon.

Everyone else ooc: We’re all gonna die!

Me: *gulp, roll…….Nat 20*

I then proceeded to give the dragon the exact location of the temple, what guards it, and how to defeat the trials (except for the last one that collapsed the temple). The dragon calmly gave us the jewel and took off into the sky, laughing like a madman. I left out the part about the temple being completely and utterly destroyed. Shortly after we discovered the jewel was a piece of the Castlerake, which we needed to defeat the BBEG. We managed to teleport out of there once we found out. So there’s now a long running joke amongst our group that there’s now a VERY angry red dragon flying around the Yin Sloth Jungles who really wants us dead.
