NOTE: This is not the same encounter as recruitable Dragons. Please see the Dragons page on this wiki for more information on recruitable Dragons.
(Character) found a large cave that was seemingly unoccupied. At the back he discovered an opening almost hidden behind an outcropping of rock. To be safe, he decided to see if it led anywhere before he made camp. He followed the tunnel's twisting path for hundreds of paces before it ended abruptly, coming out behind a boulder in a large cavern. A faint glow seemed to come from somewhere beyond the boulder. Peeking around it, his eyes widened in wonder at the coins, jewels and other objects lying in a heap on the floor of an enormous cavern. However, his blood quickly turned cold as he realized that lying atop the treasure trove was an enormous Dragon.

Note: It's rumoured that those results marked with an asterisk allow a character to steal some gold or an artifact if his agent score is high enough, a reliable source says it's possible to steal gold, the agent who did this was around an effective 90 or so skill rank.
This particular encounter doesn't seem to be attached to any 'named' Dragon. I've been told that it's been found in the Blue Mountains (confirmed), and that the challenge rank of the generic Dragon is only about 100. I can't confirm the challenge rank against any secondary source at the moment, but I have seen this encounter and know for a fact that the results as they stand are good.
