The Ice Dragon's Lair
Above the drake, in a more secluded area, is an ice dragon, Mama, perhaps the most feared beast ever to exist in the known lands. Her skin is so tough from cold that only the silver great-axe or a powerful magic spell can penetrate it, and the ice of her breath is so cold that even with the best protection the damage is serious. Her teeth are razor sharp, and her claws can rend flesh effortlessly. Her favorite meal is human flesh, and she makes a regular diet of it when she can get it. Above the ice dragon, in the most remote accesses of the cave, is Yoric the Yeti. Yoric's breath is as bad as Mama's, and his damage with tooth and nail are nothing to trifle with. He also can only be touched with magical edged weapons. With the yeti is a giant bear that can cause serious damage with tooth and claw. A few goblins can be found with Yoric, but it's just because he hasn't got around to eating them for a snack. Of course, he prefers human meat when he can get it. But with Sparky and Mama around, not very much gets near him. Roaming around on the same level, are two of Yoric's pet lizards. If Mama is around, she enjoys the occasional 'flying' visit with Yoric. It is the Yeti, of course, who carries the misery dagger, which forms part of the second knight's quest.
