And This Is Why You Need Shivering Touch...

Any chance you guys have a lot of Spider Climb spells available? Fly perhaps? Running Away works so much better when you're not doing it on the ground, where your enemies are, and you're not constrained by vertical surfaces.

Might I suggest this be a good learning opportunity. Always, ALWAYS, have an escape plan. Like a scroll of Teleport, perhaps.

If you need to run away and hide, does anyone have any illusion spells that would last 8 hours? If you can't get away safely, then perhaps you could manage to still hide.

Do you have any way to burrow through or alter stone or is there soft earth that can be burrowed into? Where Rope Trick creates an extradimensional space, sometimes the creation of an ordinary space is more effective because it's non-magical. cave out a cave for you guys to fit through, cover the entrance with something inconspicuous, and sleep and pray.

Is there any way to gain control/trick/distract the Flesh Golems into fighting for you, or creating mass chaos?

... Our Battle Sorcerer is polymorphed into Hydra and for some reason cant seem to hit the dragon at all, and if he were to change back and try to hit it with some of its spells, he would die from the Hit point change.

Nope. You don't change your HP total by polymorphing - neither when you turn into a Hydra nor when you turn back. Except you heal as if resting for a night upon the first change, if you were previously damaged. New Con score != different HP total.

Everyone is about half health except out rogue who is knocked out the dragon has taken maybe 100 points of damage (doesn't seem to care really) and recently sprouted tentacles and everyone started penalties on their attack rolls.
Uh-oh, I know that template. I also have a hunch about that Dragon's CR. I'll assume you are honest and spoiler block the info {in case you want to Know What PC Was Not Meant To Know]. [sblock=Dragon's CR and Template.]Unless the DM applied an enlarging template of some type, That is a CR 15 Pseudonatural {Not the Epic version thankfully!] Adult Green dragon![/sblock] Your group really needs to teleport / plane shift away. Without some sort of attack the dragon's dex score BS, you are SOL.

Being undergeared is a significant problem in d20. Against higher CR monsters, it gets MUCH worse than at lower levels.

Then it sounds like the sorcerer is already dead since OP makes it seem like the Sorcerer is only standing because the table assumed the con change boosted HP! :devil:
Standard Dragon back up plan. Immediately fall down and worship it and proclaim that Tiamat sent you to test its strength and that you bring good tidings. The great Tiamat is pleased with its strength and you are hear to serve it.
I doubt that would work with this thing. Most likely the draconic form It was wearing was a mask, and the tentacled horror form is closer to it's true nature! I'd wager a few "Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Fhtagn!"s or "Paises to the Black Goat of the woods with a Thousand Young!" would work better!

If only your cleric had a certain book and enough time to refresh his spell slots...

You know... If you did actually worship it as a god, and it believed you, you could convince it to to attack your enemies for you, and then march in behind it mopping up and collecting treasure. Kiss your Good Alignment goodbye, but nothing opens a locked door like a dragon... :hmm:
