[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 6340258, member: 18"] Green Dragons love lying. They will lie for the sake of lying. For the fun of it. So they don't need to actually achieve anything. However, they do like some things: 1) Getting information on the area they are in, especially the local political situation. 2) Getting involved in intrigues and the like, usually via proxies. They love to set something in motion and watch it happen. 3) Acquiring servants or making people do their bidding, even if they don't know they are (this is a good tactic for delaying the PCs until they are higher level, I suspect). 4) Yes, gold and/or a nicer lair would both likely appeal, but they love natural lairs more than castles or the like - forests, swamps, jungles that sort of thing. One might try some sort of particularly ludicrous lie on the PCs, like that he's a transformed prince or something, and trying to control his dragonly urges, and if only they could go and do this quest for him, to get this item to help turn him back, he'd be able to reward them! ;) You would be surprised by how likely the shiny gold coins will be to cloud the minds of even normally-sensible PCs.
