Would you do it?

Current character is a ranger so probably not. If it's actively attacking people then sure kill it and harvest what you want but he wouldn't be down for killing something just for an ingredient.
The horn is used as an aphrodisiac
Question whoever told me this. Dragons are magical as shit, every part of them is enchanted in some way. I doubt any part of a dragon would be wasted on simple food. Unless the client was ridiculously wealthy.
On the other hand. It would mean one less green dragon in the world. Tally ho, I suppose.
> I doubt any part of a dragon would be wasted
true
> on simple food
false. luxary culinary ingrediants were a massive part of economic process.
Need more info. whjats the pay, whats the setting, how powerful and likely to win am i vs it, do I have other buyers for other parts, whats the nature of dragons in this setting, how far is it, will there be consequences like other dragons comming after me, whats my goals and drives, etc.
Ah, well I guess you should never underestimate a rich man’s willingness to spend his money on strange things. That being said. Green Dragon may be delicious for all I know…
>delicious
That's not what 'delicacy' means anon - it's just a pretentious word for rare disgusting things eaten as food to show how wealthy someone is. No one would generally eat that stuff otherwise.
Deliver him the throat and keep the rest for yourself, it was never specified in the contract that he gets the whole dragon
It might be more profitable to start a green dragon farm, breed them to have larger and larger glands.
Typically, you aren't paid to moralize about a job you took on.
Man, I wish that movie leaned harder into those hallucination scenes
I'm used to hunting monsters for questionable reasons.
>you are paid to kill a young human because there is a gland in their throat that is considered a delicacy as an ingredrient for meat stuffing.
>Would you ?
I imagine there is a lot of overlap between people who answer yes to this and people who answer yes to the OP
Not really, one is a human the other is a monster.
If it's intelligent and doesn't harm people then it's murder.
>doesn't harm people
In the traditional European folklore, dragons are little more than a funny costume for demons
In non-Advanced D&D, there's a high chance they can't talk and are on the same teams as EVIL High Priests and demons
In Advanced D&D, there's a chance they can't talk and they need to people (elves IIRC) to recharge their chlorine gas breath weapon, and also evil
>you are paid to kill a young green dragon because there is a gland in their throat that is considered a delicacy as an ingredrient for meat stuffing.
Okay, but I want... uh... THIS MANY coins, and one of yer cows. And I get to keep the part you're not eating.

Reminds me of the description of a suit of metallic dragon armor from one of the NWN games.
>This suit is crafted from the scales of a mature metallic dragon, though most smiths refuse to work with the hides of these good-aligned creatures. A previous owner claimed that the dragon perished while fighting evil, and he reluctantly commissioned the suit as a tribute to its noble sacrifice. Several dragons have wondered aloud if this defense would excuse them wearing the hides of humanoid heroes. They suspect not.
It wouldn't excuse them because it's fricking moronic, how the frick is a human's skin going to help a fricking dragon lmao
>Several dragons have wondered aloud if this defense would excuse them wearing the hides of humanoid heroes. They suspect not.
Considering what real world humans have done to and with the bodies of "saints" and criminals... they might not complain to much.
Not really. Zero problems with killing a human, but killing a dragon is a disgusting thing to do.
How much am I being paid?
>Would you do it?
Me?
No.
Dragons aren't even real, homie.
Not only do I do it but I make sure to short green dragon body part futures before I bring back my haul and flood the market.
But then, how much more is some other crazy rich bastard going to pay for the penis?
>chromatic dragon
Yup, and I'll skin him like a buffalo when I'm done
I'll accept it if I can figure out how to trap and kill one of those guys.
Yeah? Sure. I can just take the money and then burn down the client's home after barring all the entrances afterward and blame dragon revenge if anyone asks.
I get paid and don't have to fight a dragon.
>burn down the home
>blame it on a Green Dragon
The result of 0 ranks in relevant knowledge
>inb4 it's not DnD
Then why is the color of its scales relevant? If green dragons and red dragons both breathe fire, all I need know is that my quarry is a dragon. No, it's green color is only relevant if it means it breathes poisonous gas.
>The result of 0 ranks in relevant knowledge
Counterpoint: Literally any big creature wrecking a house with open flames is going to cause a housefire more often than not.
It's relevant because only the green dragon's throat gland is a delicacy, red dragon glands are peasant food.
>red dragon glands are peasant food
Those are fricking scary peasants
Sure, besides the fact that greens are evil bastards my character is also an evil bastard.
depends on the price
you had me at "you are paid"
Reminds me of the first Baldur's Gate. There was a guy in the game who paid something like 500 GC for winter wolf pelts. At the time I felt bad about the idea of hunting down an intelligent creature and mutilating its body for money, even if was technically evil.
>Green dragons are the evilest of chromatic dragons, they like to eat elves and play with their preys before eating them
Probably
What's the pay, and I can take any weapon I want ?
I kill the green dragon to get paid for that ingredient. This way we both get to put food on the table.
Absolutely.
What are dragons like in the setting? Is this the forgotten realms, eberron, golarion, glorantha, monster hunter, ark survival evolved?
How ubiquitous is knowledge of dragons? Are they mostly seem as boogieman, incredible beasts, elusive unknowns?
I can't do it.
Dragons don't exist.
>Kill an evil creature
>Get paid by a rich idiot to bring back something that probably tastes gross so he can impress his other rich idiot friends
Sure why not
>Would you do it?
Of course. AD&D green dragons (you don't think I'd be playing freakshit D&D, do you?) are Lawful Evil. Inherently evil, Sparky. Just like orcs and blacks. So I don't need a reason beyond someone making it worth my time and effort.
Uhhh no one is inherently evil sweetie. They are frequently drawn to evil acts due to upbringing and circumstances.
If the pay's good
What is the sex of the dragon?
There is no such thing, Dragons are a money making opportunity and nothing else
Genderless dragon? I'd refuse then, it's definitely something unnatural and mysterious, so better keep my distance to be safe.
I'm going to be honest, I thought you said
>"What is the sex appeal of the dragon?"
Just goes to show the state of this site
I prepare a grand feast at the hunter's lodge of course.
just to spite you dragon gay
Sell the gland, eat the rest.
Refuse the job
Kill the dragon
Eat the gland with the party, preferably in front of the NPC that asked
Sell the rest
As a rogue, if the pay is good I'm in.
But the wizard wants to know if he can keep other parts of the dragon, the brabrian wants a sample of the meat with stuffing, and the cleric needs you to trot some villagers saying the dragon attacked their village.
Now, see, I can get the actors if you don't have your own, but you'll have to pay them separately.
I'd rather find a way to own and ride a dragon
>Lawful Evil
>it's description says it fights with trickery and deception
There's no reason not to kill it outside of the fact it'll fricking murder you and if it does, it's parent will. If I had to kill one I'd be damn sure to be as prepared with every single countermeasure I could think of.
My players learned that the hard way when they had to fight a green dragon wyrmling and left it alone after trying to talk to it in Draconic. The second they all lined up and weren't looking he gassed them.
Don't negotiate with dragons.
no one asked
The pay required to hire one to kill a dragon is probably enough to bankrupt a fricking guild. I mean, you do realize how dangerous this is, right? If it's a young green dragon, you might be faced with it's other, and that doesn't sound like a good time.
You'd need a real fricking good pay for that.
>young
Is it being young supposed to be the "gotcha"? Because the way I see it you are not just providing a good for humans but ridding the world of a problem in the making by killing the evil dragon before it becomes powerful. There is no negative.
Can the gland be cut off and dragon grow a new one?
If yes then give pay for gland to dragon.
Why bother with fighting if you both can get something from it?
The dragon probably won't submit to pre-sterile surgery for just money.
Don't make things weird
As long as every part of the dragon is used, sure.
>The dragon can turn into a cute boy
I choose to protecc
gay
Yes.
The boy's gland is mine.
lame and dishonest pilled
What compels cringe /cm/ homosexuals to play dnd?
>level 12
If I was geared for bear with some fricking vorpal shit, maybe
>level 1
I'd rather kill myself
Wouldn't killed just because some Noble gays ask me to. If I would I'd be a poacher IRL
Refuse the job. If they want a tasty part they can find someone else to do it.
Capture the dragon. If it's a male, slaughter it, deliver the gland, sell the remaining components to blacksmiths and alchemists. If it's female, start a green dragon farm. Experiment with different crossbreeds and dietary habits to produce glands of large size to bodyweight ratio and of the most pallatable poison composition.
How young is the green dragon?
This is the green dragon you're tasked to hunt
Do I get to choose what goes in her throat to get the gland?
ew
It's an intelligent Xenos?
That kills humans?
I'll pop on over, wait there.
>Would you do it?
yes
>you are paid to kill a young green dragon because there is a gland in their throat that is considered a delicacy as an ingredrient for meat stuffing.
What is this, France?
>Honhon, le roi wants you to bring 'im ze... 'ow you say... gland of ze dragon? But d'abord, forcefeed 'im zis barrel of lard! Oui, c'est difficile, but you weel be 'andsomely rewarded!
>Ah, parfait! L'empereur will generously reward you for 'zis! .... Oui, you've 'ardly been away for a week, what of eet?
