He grunted in pain as the wound on his gut slowly mend, and rolled onto his side to let the platform work its magic correctly, before looking at the two females. "Actually, you can check the two tunnels I told you not to go down, if only so you can later testify as to what is in there. The left tunnel leads to the testing and development area where I test and try out new spells, and the right... led to what WAS my hoard room before I developed my latest spell. You can look them over, try not to laugh too hard when in the hoard room please."<br/><br/>He groaned as his intestines continued to mend, the platform was taking its time today for some reason, and then answered the chimeric dragon's question. "By using the most basic of spells, that magic aura spell, to mask its presence. The most basic of spells are the ones no one expects. Now, if you will excuse me, I need to finish healing and then rest to resume my hunt tomorrow, else I won't be able to start replacing my hoard."<br/><br/>If they did enter the hoard room, they would find a small pile, maybe the length and breadth of a human, of gold with a few gems in it for color contrast. All in all, not something that most dragons would enjoy having seen by an outsider before they could replenish it.
