 For a moment you ponder the magical weapon's question. You are reasonably sure as to what the great axe's purpose is and with confidence reply.
"With a weapon such as you I must disable the Dragon known as Windhammer so that it might then be put to the spear and destroyed".
Silently the axe stands, a moment of pause ensuing within which the epic battle of man against serpent disappears and the room again falls quiet. Wondering what it is you have said wrong you wait, fully expecting some retaliation for your error, but it is only a moment within which the great axe marshalls all the power at its command. Against your face a faint breeze begins to rise, then slowly but with building strength the snow and ice that lay about the room swirls and eddies, until everything before you disappears in the bluster and gale of another snowstorm. Forced back by the now shrieking winds you can only stand against the wall, held fast and unable to move.
Within the centre of the swirling blizzard the aura bursts once again from the Dragonclaw, growing brighter as the weapon moves back and forth upon its haft, trying to break free of some unseen fastening. For a moment it falters but then lifts from the pillar and slowly floats towards you. Hesitantly you grasp the handle, feeling its fine balance and smooth craftmanship. As your hand closes around the haft all movement in the room ceases, the snow settling in drifts upon the ground, the winds dissipating into the cold air. Placing the Dragonclaw in your belt you turn for the door and are confronted by a chilling sight. Behind the door, frozen and unmoving, a great Hresh stands, its scimitar raised as if to strike whoever might walk through the door. As you make your way back into the passage you can only wonder whether the edge of the Hresh's blade had been meant for you.
