"This Terenor the Terrible probably set the Talisman up so that only his kind could wield it," confessed Neven, "It would not make much sense for him to create something that ANYBODY could use, right? After all, he did hate Dragons."
"With a passion it would seem," Irzen folded his arms across his chest, "But how on Earth did she get her hands on the Talisman in the first place? Was she entrusted with it? Did she steal it? Or did she just run across it by blind luck?"
"How she may have acquired the Talisman may matter little, Lord Irzen," Willow Bark concluded, "What matters is that she has it but apparently chooses not to use it or cannot use it. Either way, her inability to access the power of that artifact is an advantage in our favor. We may have to face Aurilaz and her brood, but thankfully, we may not have to face any more dragons than that if all goes well."
War Scribe thumbed through a few pages of her second tome, "In answer to your question, Tommy, the references to Aurilaz possessing the Talisman comes throughout different points in the Realm's history. It has also been documented by my predecessors, The Chroniclers of Validor, before my order was betrayed by one of our own. As for her battles, Aurilaz has been challenging both good and evil Dragons to showdowns before and after she acquired The Eleventh Talisman. Sometimes she fought in self-defense, other times for blood, still other times for revenge and still more times for conquest. Say what you want to say about her but she has racked up an impressive winning streak. To date, she has never suffered a documented loss to an opponent. Not bad, huh?"
The Drowling asked once again, "Well, anything else you guys would like to know?"
"Any details on her fights with other Dragons?" the Gamer asked. "Is she a brawler? Does she use magic? And if so, what kind?" He paused. "Realmish Dragons… Is she restricted to an acidic breath weapon? Do the legends give any clue to how many children she might have around her? Oh, and are there any maps of the Dwarven colony available? She's probably done some remodeling, but knowing what she started with could be useful. Not as useful as finding this Myron fellow if that is where he's from, mind you, but better than nothing."
Alyson sighed, "If memory serves, black dragons prefer ambush from they're swampy terrain. Though this particular dragon could be the opposite of her kind due to fact that she's guarding the amulet, which--," she caught herself from repeating what the gamer just asked, "what Tommy said."
"It would also help to have Alyson translate draconian to common," replied the assassin not knowing the gamer could also speak it as well as translate it to.
