Ah! Guests! So rare, so welcome! PLease, please sit, I have a fine parlor set up here just over here on the west wall of the cave. Yes, it is antique, French Provincial, but it is made for sitting, so feel free to make use of it. As you can see, you have a full view of the cave opening should you wish to flee. I assure you, you are safe here with me. Whoever heard of a host consuming his guests, even surprise visitors, when there is such a plethora of foods so readily available just beyond the screen of a computer. Surprised? We dragons are known as wise, intelligent lot, so why then should use of such a valuable tool be unexpected? Yes the Internet has made my life in these times quite enjoyable, I must say. You see, in my youth, your distant past is when I made my fine fortune in gold and gems leaving me quite well-off by today's standards. I have to say, the invention and increased use of drones is a source of great joy. I summon one to pick up a selection of coins, cash them into my online account, then summon my purchases to the mouth of the cave. Delightful!

Would you care to have the fire lit? This old stone fortress of mine can be drafty to those with not used it its character. Worry not, it will be a fine stand of fire, not an uncivilized, flame geyser spraying everywhere. If you wish, should you still be here after dark, I could show you a full gout of flame just for your amusement.

Until then, how about a nice hot cup of darjeeling and an assortment of imported cookies? Try the almond rounds, they are quite decadent.

I won a raffle for Northstar from The rules were, say you want in and after five respondents the draw was made. As you can see, I won. I watched them before I entered, figured I could at least do that.

While Northstar is nude, I think I can get away with a General rating.
