I was part of a litter owned by a master craftsman. My pack protected his workshop. I was sold to a knight so I could defend his castle. I like warming my bones beside the fire.
What are you doing here? Wow! A talking dog!! I am here for these precious stones if you must know. I only want a few.. I defend this castle for my master. He has not said you could have these stones! How did you know of this place? Please don't hurt me! I'll tell you if you drop the sword! Okay, I'll put the sword down momentarily, but if I don't like your answer I may pick it up again. A traveler who knew my father well told me of this place. He and my father owned it before they were driven off the land, and we were forced to live in poverty... You speak nonsense, stranger! If your father and the traveler owned this Cavern, why would he need the traveler to tell him about it? It's not nonsense. My father was taken with illness. When new reached the traveler, his old friend, he informed me of this land he once had in his will for future generations. Okay, I see. I didn't realize that your father never told you of this place before he died. But you need to talk to my master about this, I can't just let you take his property.  Since the land was stolen, I doubt they would be willing to even hear about this. They may even have my head for trying to reclaim what was once ours. I simply came for a precious memento...just one stone. I only have your word for this, and I don't know you. Besides, why do you think my master is the one who stole this land? He may have bought it from the person who stole it from your father. If that were so, then why would your owner even have someone guarding it, instead of gating it up and locking it? Who would even know about this precious place if it were truly your master's?
