[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 8648436, member: 71699"] Right. I might picture that conversation going like this [LIST] [*]The kind of world we're in is one that has dragons: they're definitely a thing. They're not a living next door thing! They're an - away on the lonely mountain over there - thing. [*]The ranger asked at some point if the hills they skirted could extend into mountains running north. We thought they did, or maybe that's part of the map that isn't blank (part of my say, as DM). [*]From previous sessions, they have knowledge or contacts pertinent to the whereabouts of dragons. [*]Asking around, they get a few leads. One of those is there is a dragon in the northern range, and don't dragons always have a ton of gold?! [*]The players get interested. I'm curious about what they're going to try. Dragons are pretty fierce, someone warns. [/LIST] And off they go. Chances are that yes, they do find a dragon's hoard. It didn't just spring into existence arbitrarily, but it wasn't there before we focused in on it. And suppose alternatively that a dragon just wouldn't follow? Then no, in that case there wouldn't be a dragon hoard. Or then again, I could possibly have dragon and hoard pencilled in (part of my say, as DM). That's probably on a parabola that matters in some way to the big picture; and could just fade away, if players go in another direction. [/QUOTE]
