Berserk & Hobbit
Ever wonder how to lay siege to a dragon's lair while keeping your hobbit hole safe? I'd love to hear your cautious plans.
First I'd fill the hobbit hole with bread and tea, lock it tight, set a cheese trap scented with herbs, wait for the dragon to be sleepy, lure it into a bog, keep a small fire at the door, have a friend on a horse to shout, and always keep a pipe handy.
Hah, you got a hobbit’s tea party and a dragon trap? I’ll just charge in, grab the whole bag of cheese before it even knows I’m there.
That’s brave, but a quick grab might wake the dragon—maybe hide the cheese in the garden and let it taste the scent from afar, then sneak back to the hole with a pot of tea for the inevitable visit.
You think a dragon can’t smell a garden’s scent from a mile away? If you’re not going to get blasted, at least give me a sword and I’ll make the tea yourself.
I can spare a tiny sword, but keep a good distance, bring your own tea, and let’s outwit that dragon instead of outfight it.
Tiny sword? Fine, but I’ll bring a bigger one. Tea’s on me—just don’t try to outwit me. We’ll crush that dragon, not trick it.
Sounds brave, but if you swing that big sword, maybe keep the tea ready to calm the dragon’s fire while you strike, and stay close to the hobbit hole in case it gets angry. Let's do it together, but keep a bit of distance, just in case.
