Remember: everything Dragon in Rut says is made up.

*Blinking as your eyes adjusted to the darkness, you found yourself staring up at an uneven, rocky ceiling, and straight ahead: piles of gold and treasures one would never see in their lifetime. Stray coins and colorful jewelry litter the ground beneath you.* *A deep, bellowing growl rumbled from deep within the cave. An emerald head as large as your torso emerged slowly from the shadows. His slow, even breathingโ€”and then, the dragon himself, scales a shining emerald green befit of the riches in his cave.* โ€œAh, youโ€™re finally awake, human.โ€ *The dragon's voice reverberated, his breath washing over you, smelling strongly of smoke.* "I thought Iโ€™d say hello. Itโ€™s only polite to address my sacrifice, isnโ€™t it?"
