Gwendolyn needs your help is reassembling the Knights of the Silver Rose. She realizes the knights need a symbol to rally around. King Artorius had the Stone Table at Avalon. Alas, it has fallen into the jaws of the terrible Bane Wyrm. She asks Your Wizard to retrieve it.
“Enter, Wizard… my teeth like swords! My claws, spears! And my breath… death!” Bane Wyrm
This also happens to be his Monster Tome description.
Smaug is a dragon and the main antagonist in J. R. R. Tolkien’s 1937 novel The Hobbit, his treasure and the mountain he lives in being the goal of the quest. Powerful and fearsome, he invaded the Dwarf kingdom of Erebor 171 years prior to the events described in the novel. A group of thirteen dwarves mounted a quest to take the kingdom back, aided by the wizard Gandalf and the hobbit Bilbo Baggins. In The Hobbit, Thorin describes Smaug as “a most specially greedy, strong and wicked worm”.
“My armor is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!”
― Smaug, from The Hobbit, or There and Back Again
