Story:
Once Alexandra got close enough, she felt a strange fiery power emanate from the gemstone. Could the legends be true? Regardless if they were or not, the sheer size alone would fetch a pretty penny, or at the very least, garner significant renown points among her peers.

"Careful, those look sharp!" Riptor warned as he noticed an insatiable curiosity driving his partner's hand.
"Don't worry, whilst you were ogling the gem, I already checked for pressure plates and other mechanisms. I saw nothing, so stand back and let me handle this!" With her command issued, the wolfman backed away, letting her get down to business.

Alexandra grabbed the jewel and gave it a little tug. It truly was enormous as she could barely fit the edges of her fingertips around it. Despite the lack of a trap mechanism, it refused to let itself be removed. She reached around it with both hands, and before long, used her legs as well, pulling as hard as she could.

"I know you don't like me saying this, but please be careful. You're going to fall, yanking at it like that!" Alexandra looked behind her and scowled.
"Look, I can handle this; just stay away. I can already feel it loosening. A few more tugs, and... whoa!" she yelled as the gemstone broke free, sending her flying backwards. Alexandra made sure to keep her head from impacting the ground and held the gem high above within her grasp.

Victory at last, dragon-jewel get.
"Gotcha!"

Enjoy!
