I was not sure if the big fellow could actually read or not but he seemed interested in fighting another dragon. Whilst I always relished the opportunity to better myself and appreciative though I was that saying you'd killed two dragons would make for an even better pub story than killing one, I had had my fill of near-death experiences for the immediate future. That said, an abandoned monastery was likely to prove a decent source of pillage, especially with the dragon keeping away looters and a Fire Opal sounded like the sort of powerful magic artifact I should be on the look out for.

I had a feeling that the armoured dwarf would plump for whatever entailed the most violence but was hopeful we could reach an amicable comprmise once the other dwarf, who was clearly the smartest of my companions, had made his choice.

Motsognir was fairly interested in the Cavern Exploration & Research notice, but damned if his companions were the sensible type. The next least dangerous, he figured, was kicking hoodlums out of a wizard tower.

After such a recent beating Argumentus had no taste for conflict. He gestures to Gabriel suggesting his support.

"Now look here, we're gonna have't agree on somethin'. I heard the most votes for the idiot city-lady's idea on retrievin' that sword for the Lord. Now all of you who want to do that first, before we clean out that graveyard, raise yer hand."

Argumentus begins to raise his hand, but it becomes strayed on its path to be lodged in his nostril.

Lenny here and I both think we should help this Lord, so as he can help us in return.

The Horde were chatting amongst themselves and whilst I still couldn't understand a word of what they were saying, I sensed that they were receptive to my idea of retrieving the sword and then going on a slaughter rampage in a graveyard afterwards.

I noted down the address of the Lord offering the quest and hoped we'd be able to find someone who could direct us to his house.
