But I would make getting the egg a significant story element, if not a specific adventure/quest. At the very least, an extraordinary  NPC would be the one to provide it to him, with more than just cash as the purchase price.And during the time he's carrying it, I would at least suggest that there are risks to the egg; it must be protected from breakage, kept warm, etc...Once it hatches, the baby dragon will need food and shelter and such. The COSTS could be offset by expenditure of significant time and attention; ie if they don't have the ability to spend 10 gp a day, they have to spend 8-12 hours per day caring for the little thing - hunting for food, cooking it properly, getting the right minerals to sprinkle over the meat, grinding the meat into paste, then feeding the thing six times a day for six weeks continuously.It should be DOABLE; people raise hummingbirds and bonsai trees,  after all, but it should require significant time and trouble - because, after all, a wyrmling is a pretty darned special familiar!</blockquote>
