ADwD 68: The Dragontamer 1034

Quentyn Martell is determined to steal the dragons and take them back to Dorne. His heart is not really in it, and he's relying on the fact that he absolutely must be the hero of his own story and fate. This does not bode well.

So they disguise themselves as Brazen Beasts, a free company that conveniently wears masks, and armed with yesterday's password set off for they pyramid. Somehow they get inside, presumably because the outer guards just want to go home, but the dragon guards aren't having it and need to be killed. By this point Quentyn is way out of his depth.

The dragons are amused by sheep treats for a while, but one Brazen Beast gets his head bitten off. Then it is Quentyn's turn. He is somewhat miffed to discover that he is on fire. End of chapter. So either Quentyn is toast, or thanks to his Targaryen blood he will find out he is immune to dragon flames. The screaming might mean the former, or he might just be screaming from fear. Can't quite be sure with GRRM.
