<string id="1">

<string id="2">
|

<![CDATA[As you make your way down the dark tunnel, there's one thing you notice before anything else: it's cold! That's to be expected to some extent in any system of caves, but this is unnatural. The walls and floor are covered with ice.]]>

<string id="6">

<string id="12">

<string id="23">

<![CDATA[At last, you reach the far end of this icy gauntlet and come face to face with your tormentor. You soon wish you hadn't. It's a ice drake! It's an enormous lizard, slightly smaller cousin to dragonkind, 40 feet from head to tail.]]>

</string>

<string id="38">
|

<![CDATA[When the fearsome blue creature sees you enter his cavern, it rears up, ready to breathe doom upon you. However, when it gets a good look at you, it lowers its forelegs to the ground, and looks at you, confused.]]>

|
<string id="47">
|

<![CDATA[It thinks "Of course, you might be here for some other purpose. Sometimes humans, far in the past, before the dark days of the Empire, came to me for my wisdom. Have you come to see me for any other reason?"]]>

</string>

<string id="48">

<string id="50">
|

<![CDATA[You describe to the drake the papers you're looking for. It thinks. "Old Empire records. Come to think of it, yes, I do have something like that." It leaves the cavern for a moment, and then returns.]]>

</string>

<string id="51">
