A dragon stands before you. He is green with red highlights, and stands three times the height of a human.
He stares at you, clearly displeased by your presence.
He hisses, then speaks. His impossibly deep voice is tinged with irritation. "I am Athron, intruder."
He blows a plume of acrid smoke from his nose, then speaks. "I live here. Alone."

"Fool Motrax welcomes them, the humanoids, the fools and thieves." His voice rises. Flames come out with the words. "I do not wish to see you. I do not wish to deal with you, or hear your foolish babblings. I wish you to go."
"If you have business with me, speak it now. Otherwise, to stay is to risk my wrath."
