When they took all I had of value, they left me with this scattering of trash! Garbage I would have thrown out before! Oh, someday I will wreak a rich revenge for what they have done to me!" 0 path@leav 0 "They wanted me to help fight you, But tricked me into chains instead. Then they tore down my beautiful home, and raised this ugly fort in its place. I want to kill them all." 0 empi@huma 0 "But we are stuck with you, and I need your help. If you free me, I will give you the onyx scepter." The dragon's eyes flash red with fury. For a moment, you think he'll attack. Then he calms down. "You humans! You are a foul and greedy breed. It would be better if you were forever gone from existence." 0 onyx@scep 0 "Most of it was stolen by the Empire. But if there is anything you want I still have, it will be yours." He looks at the scattering of items around him. "Look at these pathetic leavings!" 0 trea 0 The dragon looks down at the chain. "If you can get this thing open, I will give you what little of my treasure remains. I swear it to you." 0 rewa@free 0 "The leader of these pathetic humans. I long to feel his skull pop between my teeth." 0 garz 0 Then he settles back down. "But I do not like speaking of it. I think instead of rewarding those who give me freedom." "They offered me treasures, treasures from the leader, for my help. I let them into speak with me. Then they tricked me into this bond. Garzahd tricked me! ME!" He roars in fury, until you think he'll bring the room down on your heads. 0 betr 0 He breathes a burst of searing flame directly onto his chained claw. The ground beneath it melts, but the chain remains perfectly intact. Sulfras turns back to you, furious. "I dealt with the Empire humans, like a fool, and they betrayed me!" 0 pris 0 In a brief burst of fury, the dragon jerks at the chain that holds him down. The force of the tug makes the ground vibrate, but the chain remains undamaged. "I am ... I am kept a prisoner here." His voice is a rumbling from deep within his massive body, and comes from his mouth in a clouds of flames and sulphur. "I am Sulfras." Before you sits a mighty beast, a green and red lizard fifty feet long, with huge, leathery wings folded in at his sides. He does not rise at you approach - his left foreleg is shackled to the floor by a huge steel chain. 0 stnd 0 The dragon stares at you impatiently. 56 9 Plaque in the wall: AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED UPON PAIN OF DEATH Plaque in the wall: EMPIRE OUTPOST AD13 LAIR OF SULFRAS Lair of Sulfras
