Any idiot could traipse after a kidnapped princess... but what sticks had found out about hte castle was worth more than any ransom! years and years ago, the swamp castle had been the lair of a black dragon. Rumor says he's long dead, or at least hasn't been seen in so long he might as well be. Where there's dragons, there's treasure. And where there's dragon treasure, there are<del>hobbit burglars</del>halfling thieves!<br/><br/>There was some stuff about feuding noble houses, and Sticks had just provoked some irritation by pointing out how stupid it had been to explain the plot within ear-shot of the princess they were "rescuing..."<br/><br/><em>When suddenly lizardfolk dragon-worshippers decided to deal with tresspassers, ogre and man alike!</em><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">I love me some swampy castles with dragons and lizards and shit like that.
