[bodytext] => ============================== So onward to the tunnel depths. Water trickles down the stone Far below - the dragon's breath lets them know they aren't alone. Fear arose within their hearts. The tunnel closes like a tomb. Crouching low - they journey on. Smoking torches light the gloom. Amid the growing sense of danger cast a spell to search for traps. but woe , the darkness groans in anger. Something wicked hunts their back.

As he groans they notch their arrows. Oh please , the dragon brays. I shan't kill you little fools although you'll die here anyway. I was old , the dragon says centuries before your time. This cavern was to be a tomb wherein my bones would be enshrined. A wizard and a dearest friend cast a dreaming spell on me that I might go into my death inside a deep and blessed sleep.
