A wild idea for killing a campaign boss

[scott2978]

Ok... so I'm a player in this 3.5 campaign. My party consists of a large guy with an axe, a smart guy with a ton of explosions, a sneaky guy with really, really sharp pointy things, a couple guys with heavy looking swords, and... little old me. I never do much damage, I'm just a small anthropomorphic owl girl who is really clever, but not much good in a fight.

But the dragon ate my friend.

Now I really don't like it when people I like get eaten. So I've been plotting my revenge. But... I'm not very tough, and the large size black dragon that can cast 5th level spells is a lot tougher than me. I told my party that I'm going to kill that dragon for eating my friend Chuck... Chuck was the nicest half-orc teamster I ever met! We went into the dungeon and the nasty dragon came out while we were inside... and he ate poor Chuck! Now I'm pretty miffed, and this dragon needs to be brought down to size... to MY size to be exact! And I'm just the little owl girl to do it!

So I hatched (pardon the pun) a plan! I can do a little wizard magic myself see, not much but a little. I can cast Alter Self, and I know some low level druid spells, and I have a scroll of Greater Teleport. So here is how I can turn those things into a dead dragon all by myself, and show those other guys that smart things come in little packages! Err... you know what I mean!

So... first I go to the swamp where the dragon lives and go fishing. I catch a fish, and cast Share Husk on it before letting it go. I watch through the fishe's eyes... until the dragon eats it! Then, watching as the fish gets eaten, I begin casting Greater Teleport - into the dragon's belly! Once inside the big bad dragon, I cast Alter Self to change into something more... dangerous... but that can still cast spells. Then I start casting Summon Swarm! And I cast a few Summon Nature's Ally spells to summon some animals to keep me company while I'm clawing away at Mr Dragon from the inside. Then when he dies, I cut myself free, and viola! dead dragon!

Anyone see any major flaws with this plan???? )


So... for real, what are the implications of trying something kind of crazy like this in my game? Would you guys allow this if you were a DM?

Thanks for your input... please keep it constructive, I know it's a shamelessly silly story and a crazy idea. But could it work?

Can't teleport into people.

 

[Sekhmet]

Attempting to Teleport into into a square occupied by any object (PC, NPC, Wall, Mountain, etc) will jaunt you to the nearest 5ft square that is unoccupied as per Teleport rules.

You could, however, voluntarily get swallowed.
I don't think you can summon things inside creatures either, but you can definitely use damage spells. Somatic components may be restricted since you're a little squished.
Do you have any Quall's Feather Tokens? Folding Boats? Daern's Instant Fortress? Leomund's Secure Shelter spell?
See where this is going?

You are correct in your assumption of summons.
You are also correct in your assumption that a Folding Boat would severely damage a medium sized dragon.

As a DM, I would allow this just because of the cool roleplaying factor. Of course, if it started being a common thing then I would certainly have to put a stop to it.
Strictly according to the rules, this isn't possible. But, I would ask your DM if he (or she) would let you do this anyways.

1) You certainly can't summon while inside the dragon.

2) You probably can't teleport there, either.

3) You'll be taking damage from the dragon's stomach while you're trying to do that. Better kill him very quickly.

4) You're taking damage = concentration checks on the spells. Nasty concentration checks.

5) Can you prepare everything stilled? You're not going to do very well at somatic components.

6) What are you going to breathe? Or use for the vocal component of spells for that matter?

Can you make it swallow a time delayed flask of infinite water? ...Or beer?

Then wait outside with a match?

If you get that infinite beer thing, you might not need to do anything to the Dragon. Just sit back and watch what happens when a Dragon is forever intoxicated. the Dragon type has no immunity to poisons, unless it's druid of a certain level, and even then it's debatable.

Was thinking more along the lines of critical structural failure, aka water balloon explosion. And if they vomit, light it.
Taking the Decanter of Endless Water and switching it with a flammable liquid or gas would be nice too.
