Dragons steal gold and jewels... and they guard their plunder as long as they live... and never enjoy a brass ring of it. Indeed they hardly know a good bit of work from a bad, though they usually have a good notion of the market value

My theory is the dragons actually benefit immensely from sitting atop the gold piles as it acts as an amazing heat sink.

I don’t think that really fits with the metaphor but I wanted to say my piece regardless.

We don’t really have dwarven gold hoards anymore - I’m thinking we can prove climate change is caused by overheating dragons.

Everyone send me all your gold and I’ll prove it.

		Why do you think places like Fort Knox have never been robbed? They have the best security guard.
