stand on the empty podium, take a heroic stance, and momentarily ponder your destiny.
Your creativity is so horrible that you just stand there looking like a total badass (in your opinion) instead. None of the other statues have any interesting pose, and you've failed to face the other way.
Ask Marcus what he thinks stood there.
Dragon: "Hey Marcus, what do you think could've been on that statue pedestal?"
Marcus: "I don't think there's enough information to conclude anything yet."
Dragon: "Oh, how are the potions coming along?"
Marcus: "This fungus supplied us with a few pots of water. He said they had healing properties. The good news is that we'll be able to endure through this trail. What Carl said had me worried though. That Disease I keep hearing about seems very deadly. The way he said it was odd too. It was like it wasn't only something that was infectious..."
Dragon: "So you're assuming it's some kind of person?"
Marcus: "Yeah, some kind of harbinger or something."
Reveal that you're a dragon. The guy doesn't seem to freaked out by the talking mushrooms...
Dragon: "So, you aren't bewildered by the fact that these mushrooms could talk?"
Marcus: "Not really, no. I've always heard that they're quite a dominant race back when the Caverns were drier."
Dragon: "So uh, would you believe me if I told you I was a dragon?"
Marcus: "A bit of an odd question, but my answer would have to be yes. You're substantially taller than anyone I've ever met, and being a master thief I've seen much better disguises than yours. From what Francis told me, I have to conclude you are something of his."
Dragon: "Uh, yeah. I was hoping you'd give me a better reaction."
Marcus: "I'm not one who gets freaked out often if you have already noticed."
Cody: "There appears to be some complications, the potions you requested requires some bog water located around the swamp area. I've ran out of purified water, and taking the dew off of the grass does not prove to be practical. I'll be able to use the leftovers for food to be distributed among the other Cappos."
Marcus: "We're in a bit of a hurry, gotta save someone y'know."
Cody: "Completely understandable, I will see to it that Carson gets it then. He knows his way around those parts."
Dragon: "Well I think it's always nice to help out."
Marcus: "Your friend is going to prison, and possibly charged with something a lot more painful."
Dragon: "Well maybe-"
Cody: "-well if the thought of leaving Carson to do this, there's always that dragon lady that swoops by every now and then."
Dragon: "What!?"
Cody: "Oh, seem particularly interested with her. If you must know, she often hangs around the mountain sector. Oh look at me, I've probably gave you too much information. Just trying to be helpful is all."
Your head is spinning!
