You are certain that the lava drake has an incredible spirit that is healthy.
You are certain that the lava drake is slightly fatigued.
You guess that it is somewhat weaker than you are.
You are confident that it is far less agile than you are.
You estimate that it is not quite as disciplined as you are.
You wonder if it is rather more quick to react than you are.
You think it is likely that it is apparently as conditioned as you are.
Taking stock of its offensive abilities, and defending with a studded metal targe polished to a fine gleam and a sturdy short hafted halberd, you are certain that the lava drake is a relatively easy opponent.
The drake grows preternaturally still, its hide cooling into a stony protective shell.

Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.
