"Belboz," says Sir Josh. "How much would it cost me to have directions to the dragon?"
"Oh, that would be free." he replies.
"Free? I don't understand."
"You will."
The floor beneath Sir Josh crumbles and falls away. He plunges straight down a small, moss lined hole.
"AAAAHH!" he screams.
Then something stops him, hard. A scaly hand as big as any ox has wrapped around his body. Sir Josh is jerked through the air. He comes face to mighty snout with...the dragon!
"Hello, Sir Josh." hisses the mighty beast.
Sir Josh notices that he can reach his sword!
-
Sir Josh unsheathes his sword and stabs at the dragon.
-
Sir Josh goes for his sword but the dragon flings him into a pile of hay, then attacks!
-
Actually, this is all an illusion. You see, Belboz sold Sir Josh directions to the dragon, plus a device that can cast halluicnations. All this was proof the device worked.
