Angus sounds genuinely impressed. That is a good way of seeing things, especially since the book has been puzzling him. But it also leaves him a bit preoccupied-sounding. Why does that sound so familiar? He can't put his finger on it (DC 16; 3).
"If you're right, then the story had a happy ending and this is a happy mural." Somehow this doesn't seem probable. But it would be nice, wouldn't it. "Would that make the dragon the hero?
