Who the hell would try to kill a dragon for 100 gold?

this is a middle ages to renaissance era setting a 100 gold is actually a lot like enough to by a town house , high quality suit of full plate armor , a well bred warhorse and still have left over to live in relative comfort for a good amount of time , in fact a hundred gold is likely more wealth most humans will see in there entire lives

And the people who view 100 gold as a lot are the people who could do nothing more than buff the dragon's scales.

I'm not saying "No one would do something dangerous for 100 gold", I'm saying "No one would slit their own throat for 100 gold". Gold's not worth much if you're dead.

The people who can take down a dragon would be charging much more than 100 gold.

Frankly if you have the slightest chance at all at downing a dragon in actual fight, then your worth way more than a hundred gold.

Wait, didn't we establish that Mathilde actually does speak elvish when we wrote Asarnil's memoirs?

We speak one of the several Elvish languages. We do not speak Anoqeyan, which is the language of elvish high magic.

Tar-Eltharin is the conversational language of the Elves of Ulthuan.

from what I understood we weren't paying any one to take down a dragon , I thought we were paying for someone to just find dragon bones which is a lot safe seeing as it implies the dragon is already dead

That part of the conversation started explicitly when someone made a comment worrying about adventerur's somehow deciding Dragon Bones means they need to actually kill a dragon, namely the Ice Dragon.

Yeah, the Dragonbone is for '+1 and Maybe Something Cool'; +2 is never happening, because that plus the arcane mark would bring us up to eleven magic. It's not a ten point scale, but ten is the maximum a human has any business being at without some serious additional finagling (i.e Vampirism, or becoming a ten foot tall supervillain skeleton man).

So you're saying that if we want Mathilde to get the most out of her dragon's bone she'd need to abandon her humanity?

... Well, what are we waiting for then? Hop hop, let's get to it, those vampires aren't gonna kiss themselves.

I really appreciate your consistency. I remember being actively angry when Van Hal was dying in the tent and we had the book and no one was doing anything. Just tremendously unlucky. I'm glad someone is still carrying the torch. #bloodknights #wegotadragonrighttherr #winthegame

This is wrong btw. A labourer earns 100 gold about every 6 and a half years. A warhorse is worth 500 gold and a suit of plate armour 400. Armour and warhorses are expensive.
