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.
