You met a what?

Overview

The party is travelling along a road/path when they meet up with a polymorphed dragon.

Trigger

The dragon approaches the party. He is sitting along side the road that the party is travelling on.

Description

While travelling along the road you see an lone figure sitting on a rock along side the road. As you approach you notice that its an old man. As you get even nearing he raises his head and looks your way. Beside him you notice a small sack and a quarter staff lying on the ground.

Dm notes

The old man is actually a polymorphed dragon. He has a lair not far from hear and from time to time checks out his land. He does this by chagining into a travelling man/women or animal and travels along the roads. If people are nice to him then he lets them go on their way, otherwise if they seem rude or hostile then he leaves the party and watches them from a distance. If they harm anyone then he will try to interfer. First he will try to do it without getting directly involved, but if that doesn't work then he may make an appearence. (only if he knows he cant get killed). If they are nice to him then he will travel along the road with them for a day or two and then depart heading into the woods.

Key

If the party is nice (or maybe just one or two of them) he could become an ally. He will not reveal himself to be a dragon, but as a old wizard. He may tell the party of a local area of trouble (orcs/raiders) or something where they could collect the treasure.
