Baine and Markas are having their usual breakfast ale at the Seashank when Baine suddenly looks up from where he's feeding Frankie some dried meats.
"Hey, I heard a story last night."
Markas is sitting opposite Baine in his finest clothes after Burning his ruined ones
"Was it the one about the guy trying to sleep with a mermaid again? I dunno Baine, he's told it a few times now and every time it's a little different. I'm starting to think maybe he actually didn’t."
Baine snorts into his drink.
"No, not that one. And not that guy. Though I gotta give him credit, he's adding a lot of interesting detail to it these days."
He sets the drink down.
"No, this was about a party that went out on a job a few months back, right before you and I got here. They got hired to collect some sort of magic item from a cave outside of town. Apparently they went in, snooped around for a bit. Nothing unusual. A drow, a few kobolds, your run-of-the-mill tunnel system, nothing that interesting..."
He trails off for dramatic effect. It's important to tell a story right.
"That is, until they found the dragon."
This caught Markas' attention.
"A dragon?! What happened?"
"So apparently they made up this whole plan; they had a dragonborn in the party who was gonna go suck up to the dragon and the rest of the party was gonna sneak in and loot the hoard. Only the dragonborn wasn't as good at lying as you’d have to be to LIE TO A FUCKING DRAGON. So while the rest of the party was tip-toeing around the cavern, the dragon is threatening to eat the dragonborn. And his solution to this problem?"
Another dramatic pause, before he continues with an air of studied nonchalance,
"Why, fight the dragon of course."
"ON HIS OWN!? How is that ever a good idea?!"
Markas takes a sip of his drink, grimacing as it goes down as usual.
"I take it he’s dead now?"
“Oh, dead as a fucking doornail. Dragon ate him right up.”
Baine waves his hand dismissively.
“The rest of the party got what they needed and fucked off, and they all got out alive.” He shrugs. “It was apparently a pretty young dragon.”
"Soo... you’re saying it's still there?"
Markas stares at Baine for a few seconds.
"I don’t know about you but... I've never seen a dragon before."
Baine grins.
“Hey Markas, you wanna do something REALLY stupid?”
