[Charisma: 4] You indicate to your followers that they should take a position where they can enter the cave and be ready to attack it.  You lie that you will protect them with your magic.  They seem uncertain, but agree to go along with it.  You remain on your own with your crutches and hobble off to the side, awkwardly shuffling off to the edge of the cave where you can get a better view and hopefully make a limp for it once the dragon comes to eat your companions.

From your vantage point you can see the dragon's lair.  The centrepiece of the lair is the dragon's hoard, a vast pile of gold and jewels kept in a set of retaining walls, like a basket for an animal's bedding.  Off to one side you can see what appears to be a large box or possibly cage made of tree trunks, stacked one on the other and bound with long lengths of slightly melted-looking steel to keep in place.  You can hear panicked and despairing feminine voices from within.  On the other side is a low enclosure of tree trunks laid next to each other to create a fence.  Numerous stolen livestock are puttering around within the enclosure; bleating, grunting and lowing in a mildly confused animal panic.

There!  Nestled amongst the animals are your two prize bulls!  You'd recognise them anywhere.  Your quest feels almost at an end.

Finally, there is of course the dragon, who drops the woman in the blue dress into the cage with a scream, then lifts up the cow and exhales bright yellow flames all over it, to the extremely panicked noises of both animals and women.  The dragon then munches happily on the roasted cow corpse.

It is an impressive dragon, as far as you are aware.  It has brilliant emerald scales, golden eyes, broad wings with claws at their joint and a pair of thick legs with wickedly sharp talons and pounces.  It is also looking [Luck: 4] directly at your companions and narrows its eyes.  The dragon inhales.


A Strike now!  Protect your friends/minions.

B Strike now!  Once it's expended its breath on your minions, attack!

C Hold back.  Let's see what happens.

D Soon as it goes for your friends, try and rescue your bulls!

E Step out and try to barter your bulls back.

Ha ha ha. This remains a terrible idea.

I guess we could try to negotiate, as this is self-evidently a more intelligent breed of dragon, not some dumb beast. On the other hand, we have nothing to offer it but threats.
Fighting seems doomed to fail, especially given our wounded state. I guess that leaves stealth? No, that'll never work.
...
Well, if we are going to die, let us at least die honourably, by protecting our compatriots. That, and if they are still alive, they can distract it further.

Well, who wants to live forever anyway?

[4* vs 4*][5* vs 2]  As the dragon flies forward and starts gobbling up your men with abandon, you let off the most powerful lightning bolt you have... to very little effect.  The dragon notices the slight pain in its side and turns back to regard you.

[6* vs 5] You do your best to hide, but it turns out dragonfire goes around corners.  Who knew?  You are horribly burned.  [6* vs 6*] You try a barrage of ice daggers instead, but they splinter against the dragon's impenetrable hide.  [5* vs 2]  The dragon moves around and snatches you up in its jaws.  Your last experience is one of terrible, terrible pain.


You are dead.

I mean, seriously, what were you expecting?

It's a god damned dragon.

Sometimes you just gotta run head first into a dragon.

Ha ha ha that was a terrible idea.
