Page 52. It seems to a ploy to be used in order to make the dragons
think that they were robbed. That way, they will not try to figure out
why the RaidTeam was in their castle. "Ha, ha. We robbed you! We
didn't tinker with your Money Love Potion, really, we didn't!"
Some of the LightRaiders could wave the stones at the dragon in order to
make it think it was robbed. Which, of course, is not something a
LightRaider would do, but I suppose that dragons would believe their own
propaganda and fall for the ruse.

No, dragons do not have x-ray vision. Wave the diamonds in clear sight
of the dragons, or for that matter, dark creatures at the castle.

So that you can have the battle scene in the forest on page 56.

Whatever.

But, talking animals always seem to come up to LightRaiders and give them
a message from the OverLord. So, they probably do when the OverLord
wants them to. So, use whatever works in the situation.
