Sword or Plowshare?

"Sounds easy enough," said Fred, unsheathing his sword with a flourish.

"Wait!" shouted Belboz. "That hunk of scrap metal will never work. The only weapon that will work is..." he paused to arch his eyebrows, "...the Battleaxe of Tail-Chopping!"

"Hunk of junk!" Fred was indignant. "This sword was forged personally for me over the last two years by the greatest blacksmith in the kingdom!"

"That may be," chuckled Belboz, "but the only way you're going to chop of the Dragon's tail is with that Battleaxe. But it's your choice...you can either face the Five Ordeals through that passage..." Belboz pointed north. "....or you can go face the Dragon directly through there with your current sword."

1. Fred heads north to tackle the Five Ordeals and fetch the Battleaxe of Tail-Chopping
2. Fred heads east, directly into the Dragon's Chambers!
