A Most Dangerous Library

 



This... actually kinda exists in one of my campaigns.

One of the new cool things in the 5e MM is that green dragons don't just hoard art, they hoard *artists.*  So I had a green dragon obsessed with books.  His name was Namzugingal, but most called him Vermillion.  His library was rumored to be the largest in the world, and his slave-librarians could find the answer to nearly any question... if you were brave enough to dare Vermillion's lair to ask them.

Have you seen this diorama from Dark Swords Miniatures (and based off some DiTerlizzi artwork)?

Probably look nice in green. :)

Dick McGee: I had not! Thanks! Looks like they've added a lot of new cool stuff since I was there last.

The twitter prompt is almost exactly the plot of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dealing_with_Dragons (Patricia C. Wrede, 1990).
