Re: ARMORY

[letstalk]

For having? Isn't that what dragons do?

Re: ARMORY

[robitussin]

He isn't really a normal kind of dragon, but I guess so.

[reaching out to touch a shield]

Re: ARMORY

[letstalk]

What kind of dragon is he?

Re: ARMORY

[robitussin]

A nice one.

Re: ARMORY

[letstalk]

I'm a nice dragon and I'd like to have stuff!

Re: ARMORY

[robitussin]

I'm glad to hear that.

Re: ARMORY

[soulping]

[The shield immediately starts to rust under your fingertips, the paint flaking off.

Take your hand back, and the damage vanishes as if it never happened.]

Re: ARMORY

[robitussin]

[pulling her hand back]

Whoa, creepy.

[walking over to touch a suit of armor, seeing if it does the same thing]

Re: ARMORY

[soulping]

[The metal crumples and rusts wherever it is touched, restoring itself instantly when the contact ends.]

Re: ARMORY

[letstalk]

That's spooky, Natalie! It's really spooky!

you saw nothing

[robitussin]

Yeah, it is. Do you wanna get out of here?

i have seen everything

[letstalk]

Uh-huh!

nooooo

[robitussin]

Which door?

[letstalk]

Which one do you want?

[robitussin]

Well, they went through the fancy one, so... How about the middle one?

[letstalk]

Okay!

[robitussin]

[whee off we go]

[soulping]

[The door you pass through is made of burnished steel, much like the door to the Armory that you came through.

It leads you to a dim cavern passage. A gate is built into the rock, already opened. There's a verse carved into the wall just beyond it.

In the distance, the passage becomes lined with glittering, gleaming crystals.]

[robitussin]

We're not touching the shinies this time.

[but going to read the verse]

[soulping]

[The words are an untidy scrawl.

I CANNOT BE SLAIN BY SPELL OR SWORD
I CANNOT BE CONTENT WITH THE LARGEST HOARD
I CANNOT BE SATED, CANNOT BE QUENCHED
I TAKE ROOT IN THE SOUL AND BECOME ENTRENCHED
I HUNGER FOR ALL THAT IS NOT YET MINE
I AM THE DESIRE OF COVETOUS DESIGN
WHAT AM I?]

[letstalk]

What's it say, Natalie?

[robitussin]

[she reads it to him]

It's obviously greed. I wonder why this is written here.

[letstalk]

[ ...moment of clarity! ]

Because he has a lot of stuff and we're collecting all his treasures, so he's probably greedy?

[robitussin]

Why would he decide to take care of us if he was greedy? I mean, he has all this stuff, sure, but... I don't know.

[letstalk]

Because he feels bad for being greedy?
