[QUOTE="reapersaurus, post: 30381, member: 1194"] Few questions of clarification before i can get a clear idea of things, Cloudy. ;) 1) Why did the dragon just sit there and waste the surprise opportunity it had? 2) Why didn't it use that time to buff itself up with all the access to spells it has (even clerical)? 3) Did it use ANY spells in the fight? 4) Good thing the party knew the blue used electricity, eh? 5) Why didn't the dragon didn't have any cohorts, or help? Was he in his own lair?! 6) Why didn't the dragon have magic items of use, or potions of healing, or something. 7) Couldn't the dragon just take off, heal itself, then come back once the haste spells had worn off the party members? 8) How did the PC's make the horses walk out in front of a dragon to get toasted? A cattle-prod? Wouldn't the horses be affected by dragon fear? 9) I wonder what cool and fun things you could have done with the Ventriloquism and [i]Hallucinatory Terrain[/i] free actions each round? 10) Did the environment allow for good burrowing tactics? How could the PC's have 'hidden' under a ledge? Wouldn't the dragon have burrowed underground, and then - OH NO! [b]Where'd the dragon go?![/b] Lots of fun missed there? :( 11) Why didn;t the dragon attack while your PC's were shaken? 12) What 6 feats did you give the dragon? 13) How did the party do 226 points of damage to it, thru the DR of 5/+1 and AC of 28 (minimum) - couldn't it have gotten up to 39 AC easily? Sounds like a fun fight, but it seems like the dragon, given the situation you mentioned, should have made mincemeat of the party, especially since they didn't seem to fight that smartly (what do you think?)
