Dragon Complains About Adventurers Not Respecting Visiting Hours

Scorathax the Inevitable, an ancient red dragon, has issued a formal complaint about adventuring parties consistently ignoring the posted visiting hours for his lair. The dragon installed a brass sign reading Encounters by Appointment Only: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10 AM to 4 PM last year, but parties continue to arrive unannounced at all hours. "Last Tuesday, I was cataloging my hoard when five armed individuals kicked down my door at three in the morning," Scorathax told reporters, adjusting his reading glasses. "No appointment. No advance notice. They didn't even introduce themselves before the paladin started monologuing." Local adventuring guilds responded that scheduling combat encounters defeats the purpose of heroic questing, a position Scorathax describes as exactly the kind of reasoning I'd expect from people who think we'll figure it out when we get there constitutes a plan.
