[ WP ] As a dragon of innumerable age you have guarded your gold horde for millennium . Many heroes have come with long speeches on how they will slay you , the great evil , none finish . However this one is odd.He throws a coin on your stash , looks you in the eyes and says `` I have a proposition for you . ''

I heard them coming since before they even entered my cave but I decided to play as though I were slumbering anyway. We dragons do have an image to maintain, even some of the less fearsome bits. It is a whole group of them this time. 
 
 Nothing to really worry about, just four people I ’ ve faced far more at once before, they all fall before me. I have had all types of visitors in the past, lone heroes that are truly great for their kind, heroes with more bravery and ego than brains, small groups, large groups. They all fall before me. 
 
 These people are taking far too long to get here, much longer and I won ’ t be pretending to slumber. 
 
 They have finally arrived, just before I got too bored. Now I see why they took so long, they brought along a chest full of gold and jewels. Normally, after they send out people to attack me, I have to go out and take this from one of the local kingdoms as my revenge. Are they hoping that I won ’ t get revenge if they provide me gold in advance? If so they are as stupid as they are weak. Well they are talking now, may as well pay attention to what they are saying. 
 
 Hero 1 ( looks like a good main course ): Dragon! We have come to strike a deal. 
 
 … 
 
 Me: Speak 
 
 Main Course: We brought treasure with us that you may keep whether you accept our deal or not. 
 
 Me: May?? I can assure you those few coins you brought were never going to leave my lair regardless of what you or anybody else may have thought. 
 
 Main Course: We come from the Kingdom of Arelissea and have been at war with the Kingdom of Margarth for some time now. 
 
 Me: Your petty squabbles have amused me, yes. 
 
 Hero 2 ( looks like a delicious dessert ): This would be simply the first of many payments, we ask you direct your attacks and raids solely at Margarth instead of both kingdoms. 
 
 Me: Why?? 
 
 Dessert: It would help us in our war effort plus we can direct you to where they store their treasure. 
 
 Me: You humans are foolish. Let ’ s say an ant approaches you with a coin and offers of more coins if you go destroy another anthill what would you say? 
 
 Hero 3 ( looks like an appetizer ): This is different! 
 
 Me: How? 
 
 Appetizer: Ants aren ’ t intelligent and aren ’ t capable of making deals. We are much greater than ants. 
 
 Me: To me you are nothing more than an annoyance. 
 
 Hero 4 ( not too interesting, side dish ): I would not consider an anthill to be any sort of a threat to me just as either of our kingdoms would not be a threat to you. 
 
 Me: Correct, both kingdoms working together could not compare to my power! 
 
 Hero 4: Indeed and a coin is a coin. I don ’ t know about you but I like coins. 
 
 So here I am off to an outpost of Margarth that houses half their treasury. A coin is a coin. I do like coins.
