      "Every adventurer dreams of discovering a dragon's hoard—the astonishing mound of jewels and riches that are a dragon's most prized possession. Every adventurer also has nightmares about encountering a dragon, which is unfortunate, as dragons are often found asleep on top of their hoard.",
      "The hoard on offer at the Halfway Inn is much easier to enjoy and requires no dragon-taming! Look no further for a platter of crunchy corn chips stacked high with delicious treasures and smothered with golden cheese. Adventure parties often come to blows when splitting the haul from a dragon's hoard. Parties splitting the hoard at the Halfway Inn tend to be less aggressive, though that's not to say that axes have never been thrown and fireballs have never been flung over the last scoop of beans."
