Yes

"I am here to kill you and claim the princess, now prepare to die, Dragon!" You shout. With that, you stab the Dragon in the nostril. It rears back in pain giving you the chance to get past it and take cover behind the big pile of treasure in the centre of the courtyard.

"OW!!!" Exclaims the dragon. "I see you are cleaver one. I too use my brain more than most. You know, you don't have to kill me to win the princess and claim my treasure, you only have to defeat me and there are more ways to do that without ****." propositioned the dragon.

"And how do you propose I do that?" you ask from behind the gold. Although you are talking you still have your mind on the fight and are manoeuvring around the gold to strike the beast from behind.

"A battle of wits, You are already one point up by not becoming my lunch by entering by the front door. If you best me in reason, logic, cunning and wisdom I will let you walk out of here with my lady and all the gold you can carry. Deal?"
