Old Tom's drinking house

from HDK 94 † Into the dragon's domain by ASTARIUM

/

lyrics

By early evening you have arrived at an hamlet in the heart of this sad region and with only seven houses it is very easy to find “Old Tom’s Drinking House”. Making yourself known to your host - old Tom himself - you are provided with a hearty meal and tankard of fine ale. You are joined by another traveller who has learnt of your intended quest. “Perhaps I may be of some assistance” he quietly suggests. He is an old gentleman called Laban, with the experience of many years travelling written in his face. “I have travelled these parts greatly in my time and have made the study of the dragon my particular... hobby, you might say.”

Be warned,” he adds, “the dragon is no fool. He is very powerful and a deadly opponent. Firstly, he is able to cast a spell which would charm you into becoming his slave - or even his dinner! In addition to this, like most dragons, he can breathe fire. However, you may succeed in finding some defence against the flames. Your first task will be to find a wise old hermit who lives in the caves. Once he was a friend of mine... now he’s a prisoner of the dragon. He can tell you of the three ingredients needed to make a potion of fire resistance”.

You are pleased that you can gain protection from the flames, but what worries you most is the thought of being charmed, and you convey this concern to Laban. He informs you, however, that guarded within the caves is a magical protective helm wrought from solid gold. Set in the front piece of the helm is a magnificent golden yellow topaz. The person who wears this helm is immune to the dragon’s magic. “One more piece of advice my adventurous friend “he adds,” a renowned hero died in those caves-he too thought he could slay Dagmor the Terrible. He carried with him a special sword inscribed with the words: ‘Albus the Avenger’. Find it and use it. It was specifically forged from a fallen meteor for the purpose of slaying dragons...
