Introduction
Greedily you take the decorated book in your hands. The light fades away and you are left alone with the treasure. You feel the earth shake and in moments a tremor is around you. You try to hide behind the golden pedestal (which proved to be more difficult than you thought), holding the decorated book tightly in your hands. But what evil sorcery is this? The golden pedestal has turned into stone and the book in your hands has turned dark and cold to touch. The beautiful not to mention valuable golden carvings are fading away, leaving only empty holes to the cover of the once attractive but now worthless-looking book. The tremor fades away as quick as it began but it has done the worst thing it could have done. The entrance to the cave has collapsed; you are locked up inside the cave. You feel a cool breeze, which should be impossible since there is no way in or out from the cave. You turn around. A skeletal dragon materializes in front of you and it is lit by the same illumination as the pedestals used to be before you took the book.
The dragon states: "In thy hands you hold a dark book, a cold piece of worthless knowledge to you. Who gave you the permission to take this item from it's rest? Thou shalt pay for thy crime in time."
The dragon stares at you, it's fiery eyes seem to see the very depts of you body and soul.
"But it is still possible to change the course of events. Return the book to me."
Do you hand the book to the dragon knowing that you have nothing to lose or keep it to yourself knowing that dragons are not to be trusted?
