Looks like someone is becoming braised beef tonight....";

It was sealed up in one of the northern test bunkers back a while ago, but has now been neglected for a while. I would advise against going for it: that place is filled with scummy orcs and creatures, getting lost up north never ends well, considering my 30 children have all perished in that area.

Your ears are in physical pain at the sound of King Dragon’s terrible rap."

No longer. Goodbye. He raises his massive puppy paws, readdy to reduce you to mere scraps. The hit comes down so strong all the breath is sucked out of your lungs.
