Pedrakhan
Beginning of the dialog
Pedrakhan: Yet another presumptuous wight who dares to climb my rock. You little humans. So brave, and yet so fragile. I shall tear out your entrails and feed them to the rats.
Hero: Not so fast. I bear the Eye of Innos. You will obey me and answer my questions.
Pedrakhan: (bellows) Arrh. Ask your questions.
About Pedrakhan
Hero: Who are you?
Pedrakhan: I am called Pedrakhan and I shall slowly skin you alive when I catch you.
About the dragons
Hero: Who is the strongest among you dragons?
Pedrakhan: We draw our power from the elements of this world. Their hierarchy i clear and simple. Land formed so soft earth bestows life on all creatures under the sun. Yet it will open up and swallow you entirely if you get too close to it. The rock which would rather break than ever surrender, towers with pride and buries the careless beneath itself. And yet it offers the best protection from the tide. The spark of life lives in the deep fires of this world. And yet the fire incinerates everything in a breath, leaving nothing but ashes. All our elements preserve and destroy. But only in water that has become hard and solid as rock will everything be transformed into an eternal pillar of salt where life is barely possible.
About the dragons' master
Hero: How can I defeat your master?
Pedrakhan: He is almighty and nigh unto invincible. Should you be so foolish as to meet him nevertheless, you will die a slow and painful death.
Hero: That isn't the first time I've heard that. Nearly invincible does not mean that I cannot kill him. So, out with it: What must I do?
Pedrakhan: In order to oppose my Master, you require things which he would never be able to obtain.
Hero: And what should that be?
Pedrakhan: You must acquire the finest armor known to your earthly community, and wear it on your skin. You need a sword which has been blessed by your god. But the most difficult condition of all is that you must win five companions who would follow you into death. Then and only then can you dare to face the Master.
The ending of the dialog
Pedrakhan: Enough words. Your temporary power is exhausted. The Eye has lost its strength. Prepare to die.
