Disregarding benefits for a second and putting ourselves in the viewpoint of our character, who is a dragon soul trapped in its body for 5000 years as a result of being murderated, likely revenge hungry, and above all a DRAGON, who are not known for being kind and generous, even less one like we were, what IC justification have we for turning good?
At all?

Because we're not stupid and can recognize when a plan doesn't work - it didn't last time, did it? We are an ancient dragon (and an undead one on top of that), after all, not some silly meatbag human that acts solely on stupid emotions. So we play up the atoner bit, get the respect of heroes, obtain moral higher ground and essentially get a much stabler, nicer place to rule over forever. It's really that simple.

As you enter the room, you first notice its fairly large size - it is probably the main room of this place. What looks like the main entrance is collapsed, but it looks like you could possibly break it open with enough force.
What surprises you is the fact that you find bookshelves here that didn't rot thorough the past five millennia somehow. The few parchments are written in archaic languages which you think you should remember, but you don't.

In the center of this room lies a table with a painting on top, but most of it is barely comprehensible right now. You can however see an outline of a dragon fighting men. This dragon is probably you. Something is written below that, but you are having trouble reading it. You can however understand most of it:

"For futu      tions,             , Harbi       f Cold"

The author probably made this as a warning from you for future generations.

In all of this nostalgic madness, you start to remember your magical formulas you once threated the world with.

Spoiler: Spells (click to show/hide)

Aixio, Winterfall - you release a thick and long stream of deathly cold ice from your jaw, freezing, slowing and eventually killing anything in its straight path.
Murita, Icewall - you accumulate cold air on your wings that you can shape into a protective wall of ice.
Tavez, Spikestorm - you create a sphere of ice that explodes violently, damaging everything in an area and releasing deadly icicles.

Also, while you realize that you are a female dragon, you still can't find your name in your memory. // You better fix that.

[Chink]

Stow the parchments somewhere safe so we can figure out how to read them later. Blow up the rubble by using Tavez in the center of it. Make sure to leave the room before it blows up.

[Harry Baldman]

Destroy the inscription on the wall. It means nothing now. Then explore the side tunnels.

[Empiricist]

Pay any attention to noises we make when we move. Try and move as swiftly and silently as possible while performing the other actions.

*growls at Xantalos*

Oh what? Are you resorting to physical threats in wake of my IMPECCABLE CHARACTER LOGIC?
*flexes brain*

[GreatWyrmGold]

No, at this:

...and above all a DRAGON, who are not known for being kind and generous...

I and other metallic dragons are a bit insulted at the insinuation that all dragons are evil. We're dialing up Falkor and others, too.

Anyways.

Return to the junction and turn left. Exploration!

I was talking about fantasy dragons in general, not D&D or Planescape or whatever planar type of dragon you guys are.
Besides, I never said evil.

How can you talk about fantasy "in general" when there are so many counterexamples in fiction?

'In general' as in the most common archetype assigned to the dragon in a work of fiction, that of a villain.

In the same way that the most common archtype for humans is a mook or minion.

Yes.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Do you understand that no one would seriously claim that the "standard" role of humanity in fiction is that of a mook or minion?

[Xantalos]

Huh? No, but the standard role for a mook or minion in (human) fiction is a human.
