Flaunting the violation of a dragon with that armor aren't you?
Dragon's have a hardened armor of 8 which is magical in nature (which is
why it's a critter). No live dragon, no 8/8 armor. It's great Telsma
though.
I would suggest the runners doing anything blatant with the spoils.
There's bound to be another dragon out there to make an example out of
the runners. And not all dragons are against one another, there is at
least one out there mourning the loss to its kind.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
