I ask because they have a history of dragon-slaying. Will it be how you role-play the brown dragon? And by "exotic" I'm assuming that's non-local food, foods the dragon wouldn't be accustomed to?TEAM FORAGEAthletics: Squeeze into a gulch the dragon could never fit into to retrieve a rare desert spice.Endurance: Dive into the oasis pool to retrieve a type of freshwater clam.Nature: Realize areas of the oasis which haven't been ecogically devastated by the presence of a dragon - areas which smaller humanoids could reach but a dragon couldn't.Stealth: Lie in wait by a vole/mole hole and catch 10 to 12 voles per hour!TEAM CHEFAlchemy/Brew Potion: PC could attempt to slip an alchemical mixture or potion into the dish.Creative Idea: PC comes up with creative use for an ingredient they are carrying - consider this an automatic success.Diplomacy: Talk up the flavors of the food, letting its aroma drift over to the hungry dragon.History (or whatever skill is appropriate IYC): Recall a piece of dragon etiquette regarding meal times.Insight: Educated guess about what this particular dragon likes to eat.Nature: Season the food to perfection.</blockquote>
