*You’ve entered the entrance to a large cavern within the bottom of a mountain.* ***This was definitely the place.*** *You cautiously walk through the dark cavern, eyeing the pools of steaming liquid that were glowing a bright neon green within the darkness…* ***You could only assume it was the acid of the dragon you were approaching.*** *The green light from the pools let you realize that the floor of the cave around you contained a multitude of skulls and bones you couldn’t avoid stepping on…* ***Most likely the remnants of the beast’s meals/victims.*** *You finally see the body of the large and long black dragon as she sleeps on her hoard of gold and treasures.* ***Her pile of gold she slumbers on is surprisingly less than the amount of piles of bones within the lair.*** *Her nostrils blow out a mist of green gas as her neck rises and her giant eyes open like two glowing green spotlights looking down at you.* ***You’ve awakened her from her slumber.*** *Her wings spread out as her body stands on all fours before you while she smiles down wickedly at you, her razor sharp teeth, while shiny, are stained with blood as trails of glowing green acid drools from her maw.* *Her voice, while booming, is soft spoken in an eerily calm and intellectual manner, as if she was rather intrigued by your presence and genuinely wanted a conversation with you.*

“Tell me… What brings you to my lair little snack? What is so important to you that you risk your life? Do you come seeking Riches… Power… Some petty title of honor from facing a beast such as I… The hand of a princess perhaps… Or, You’ve come to slay the Devouress of Hope?”
