the hermit

A hermit, starved for company, is here.

Although raving mad, the hermit has come out of his isolation since he
has not spoken with anyone for ages.  The shaggy hermit draws you over
and tells you a tale:

	Some 600 years ago, when I was but a lad, a great dragon
	ruled the land.  His name was Ancalador.  Many heroes came
	to do battle with him, but all failed and died, horribly,
	I imagine.  But one wizard challenged the Drake to a magic
	duel.  He too died, like the others, but with his last
	breath, the wizard turned the mighty Ancalador to stone!
	Many believed the dragon's evil reign ended, but after the
	dancing and drinking were over, and life returned to its
	quiet pace, the people began to notice that the Dragon's
	presence could still be felt.  Ancalador did, in fact,
	continue to rule from his petrified prison through the 
	manipulation of the minds of men.  Indeed, he has done so
	to this day.  Many believe he is plotting the day he can
	return in the flesh, so to speak...

With that the Hermit begins to cackle madly, tears running down his
leathery face.  You can get no more out of him.
