OK. No further new business so I’ll open this meeting to public forum.

I have a question. So, as you know, I was born with this green crystal in the middle of my head. It’s the only part of my body that’s not impervious to damage. It’s why I wear this helmet.

Of course. I built that helmet. It’s a masterpiece of craftsmanship. It can only be cracked by the most magical of hammers.

That’s what I wanted to talk about. You keep a magic hammer in the Palace of Darkness, which is the palace I’m assigned to. I feel like maybe you could keep it in the Swamp of evil, or even throw it in the Lake of Ill Omen…

Relax. Helmasaur, you have nothing to worry about. That hammer is locked in a special treasure chest that can only be opened by one key.

Right, but that key is in my dungeon, too. It’s in a treasure chest that can be opened by any key. And once you have that, all you have to do is find your way through a dark room to get the hammer.

It hasn’t been a problem yet.

No one has attacked us yet. I’m just saying, maybe I should guard the hammer, or the key, or both.

You’re guarding one of the seven maidens. You have enough to worry about.

OK, but why have that other stuff in there at all? And why do I need to stay in the most remote room in the dungeon? It would make more sense if I waited by the entrance and killed anyone who entered.
