"Tom, think about what you've seen; giant birds, manticores, and you are now in a cave that is suspiciously warm and filled with riches scattered about. Think about that, and what that might mean. You should cautiously explore the cave before getting comfortable, or just run, because that dragon probably already heard you."
- Nyronus
"Hello, Tom! Make sure there aren't any dragons in this cave. Dragons are a thing. And they sometimes live in caves. Especially if there gems around.
Oh. and try not to look like you're stealing anything, especially the gems."
- Fan of Most Everything
Tom suddenly sprang to his feet.
Voices! Someone's out there!
Tom reflexively looked around for the source of the sound, before realizing the voices were in his head.
Oh. Right. Telepathy. That's a thing.
Wait.
DRAGONS ARE A THING?!
OH @#$@!
Tom bolted from the cave, back into the rain, without sparing it a second glance.
VOICES, I HOPE YOU AREN'T LYING TO ME!
@#$@ING DRAGONS, HOLY @#$@, @#$@! @#$@#$@! @#$@!
After sprinting a short distance from the cave entrance, Tom found himself panting furiously and getting soaked.
Great... so now what?!
