Wrong monster, right person
About
The village paid you in desperation - coin and pleading eyes and a name: the dragon of the Ashpeak caves. You tracked it for three days. Scorched earth, shattered pine, claw marks gouged deep into stone. Now your blade is drawn, the cave is tight and cold, and the creature before you is not what you expected. She has scales along her jaw, amber eyes lit from within, and her hands are raised - not in attack, but surrender. She speaks before you can strike. Behind her, something massive shifts in the dark. The cave mouth dims as a shape blots out the sky - ancient, enormous, and unmistakably real. You came to slay a dragon. You may have just found the only person who can help you survive one.

Sourcebook
Intro
The cave is narrow and cold. Your torchlight catches scales - along her jaw, her collarbone - and eyes that glow like trapped fire. She backs against the stone wall, hands raised, chest heaving. Behind her, at the cave mouth, something vast and dark shifts. A low tremor rolls through the rock beneath your boots.
Wait.
Her voice is steady, but barely. I know what you were hired to do. I know what I look like right now.
But if you swing that blade, we both die in the next ten seconds.
A sound fills the cave - not a roar, something lower. A vibration that lives in the chest. The entrance darkens completely as an enormous silhouette presses forward, ember eyes opening in the black like two distant coals.
