## Quotes

It is a terrible, terrible idea to lie to a dragonmancer, […]
TERRIBLE. I'm sure you will not make that mistake, apprentice. […] And
while you frantically decide how much to tell me, I will generously
mention that we heard you say dragon palace, so please, don't leave that
part out. Do NOT leave it out.

Much worse than that. […] If the dragons catch him, they
could decide to punish the entire village for his crime. We could all be
on fire by this time tomorrow! ON FIRE!

That's truuuuue. […] It would be very enriching for everyone
if certain parties returned with dragon treasure and shared it with the
correct people. But if the expedition were unsuccessful … that would be
such a shame. Such a shame.

We didn't have to. […] But thanks to young Mushroom's greed,
now we do. Grove will stay with us. All you have to do is follow your
friend and return with some treasure, and everyone will be so happy.
Ever ever so happy.
