The two dragons depart and explore.  it isn't long before Auronilirix returns and splashes the lava pool with her tail obviously bored and resentful of the position that had been forced upon her.  She gives him a silent glare of resentment as well as she watches the pool idly clearly not at all interested in this posting at this time.  Although something about the gold was fairly appealing when she looked absolutely loathsome of her current situation.  Perhaps some fundamental instinct of his or maybe it was just the knowledge that she had brought this down upon herself.  it was very difficult to be certain.<br/><br/>The Chimera on the other hand seems to have completely vanished entirely upon entering the hoard chamber.  She seems to have taken an interest in the magicial research room but immediately following her hour long examination of the room she had B-lined for the hoard room and has yet to leave the room.  After several hours of waiting images of all the things she could be doing begin to fill his mind, from laughing at his hoard to even stealing from it.  When, he finally can stand it no longer and searches for her he finds a large pile of treasure in the far corner of his hoard chamber with the chimera asleep on the pile.  Added to his pile is a beautiful statue the size of a large house cat of io, made of gems and precious metals.  A quick examination of her hoard reveals it is worth nearly ten times the value of his own.  Perhaps its not even the value of her total hoard but what she carried around on her with her bag of holding.  Her positioning on the hoard is slightly suggestive if subtly so, and the sleepy beautiy half purr half snores in her sleep.
