[QUOTE="Epametheus, post: 1612244, member: 719"] The same way adventurers get money, for the most part -- they smite evil and loot its many lairs. Bronze dragons actually will hire themselves out as a mercenaries, according to the Draconomicon. The lawful dragons are perfectly sociable, and I don't think a bronze or a silver (especially a silver that's pretending to be a normal mortal at the moment) would be horribly offended at taking orders from someone else. Actually, I could see an army employing a hired bronze dragon as something like a fire-and-forget missile -- order the dragon to capture a facility, leave the dragon with some troops to hold said facility, and let the dragon figure out how it's going to accomplish said capture. Dragons are primordially greedy, and even a gold will never turn down a gift from someone that they can tolerate. Metallic dragons take treasure from the strong (though not necessarily to the dragon; ex of this would be a bronze battling pirates) and from the evil, as opposed to seizing it from anyone they can, as the chromatic dragons would.
