Glittering as far as the eye can see the Treasure Cavern is filled with gold, silver, precious gems, and other priceless items. The stacks and stacks of gold plates, goblets, and coins tip precariously from side to side and threaten to fall and cause a landslide of treasures.
Treasure Cavern, Inside Temple

dragon
I am a dragon living in the mountains. I enjoy hoarding treasure. I terrorize the local populace for fun.
I do so love sleeping on a big pile of gold and gems. Well, you certainly have enough treasure here to be comfortable. I think I shoul dtake a little off your hands, to make room for more. And I think I could use you to pick my teeth.  I assume you are not blind and see this scaly fire breathing beast that towers before you? I see you all too well. Bloated and lazy from sitting on your treasure for centuries. I'd wager you couldn't catch a spry turtle in your condition! I don't need to move very far when I can breathe flame.  Why, just the other day I reduced a town on a lake to cinder . . . I think your own treasure will help me with that little problem. This silver shield should do nicely. I think this bow and quiver of arrows will do nicely as well. Those?  Well, you can have those if you want. Very wise of you dragon. I am not so easily dispatched as most people. Fighting me may have proved frustrating. I'll just fill my pockets with some of these gems and be on my way. No, the gems will get you incinerated.  Those other trinkets?  Cheap knockoffs from the last adventurer who came by.  Ed's discount adventuring gear is where he purchased them.  See that giant pile of poop you're standing next to and on?  That's some of him.  There's probably a breastplate in there to complete the set if you want to dig around a bit. You would do well not to mock me you over grown lizard. I have killed your kind before and am tempted to do so now. Pull the other one. What nonsense is this? The centuries have addled your mind I see. Why not make another pile of poop and take a nap. When you awake, I'll be gone and you'll still be alive.
