Bothered About Worshipping Dragons Y'all

i mean let's face facts, in a world where glory and treasure are valued highly, in a world where experience is all that seperates the great from the goop, in a world where the smartest and strongest have true tests of mettle to claw their way up the ladder of success, dragons are THE target.

the best of them are bullies, and the worst, well, they are even worse. thieves, extortionist, killers and maimers....heck i haven't even started in on all the goods they must consume calorie-wise to keep their bulk moving and those breath weapons working.

i am amazed that there isn't more of a movement to track them down and shake them by their greedy little(o.k., big) necks till they promise to become beasts of burden for every poor peasant on the street.

if an n.p.c. had all of this treasure and power every adventurer worth his salt would be out gunning for a way to take that dude down. add to this their obvious affiliation with the reptilian class and the only thing that could delight people more in killing them is if they were directly related to spiders.

i say "off with this nasty yoke of dragon worship and slay them all(we'll split the treasure later!)"

the b.a.d.d. folks are right in one respect, these guys aren't (or shouldn't be) easy to kill, so i say the rest of us look into ways to handle that. troll-slayers, dwarven-defewnders, i say we need a school specifically aimed at teaching folks to kill the mightiest of dragonkind(a well hidden school mind you)

orc invasions and giant colonies are naught in the face of this particular challenge, heck most of these demihumans could probably even be brought into the cause for a (slightly lesser) share of the treasure!

i now send out a call, a call for your best wyrm-kicking stories, your top smaug-choking techniques, and your favorite fantasies of retribution on these biosystem crushing beasts!

dragon-slayers unite!(preferably someplace well-hidden and secretive)

:p

cowards?

NOONE has a story of dragon slaying? has the en board been declared d.m.'s only? are ther none with the bravery required? heck, even a story of glorious death at the hands(claws?) of veranus humungous?
 

Sorry. Frankly, I've never thought dragons were all that interesting as opponents (sorry BADD) I prefer humanoids. There's a pretty good bit relatively early on in the Byzantium on the Shannon story hour, if I recall. Group got attacked while at sea by a white dragon.
 


o.k., if noone else has a start, i will...

in a past party we found a dragon lair with 3 exits. we managed to sneak around and have most of the party at the smallest exit, and collapsed the other 2. as the rest of the party slid in, hoping to catch him in a panic, and trapped, we noticed a fearsome rumbling.

much to our dismay he had a hidden 'emergency exit' that we hadn't spotted in our wonderings.

he managed to leave out of it after dropping a bit of an 'earthquake'(via the spell) on our tunnel, collapsing it and resulting in the loss of 5 of 7 party members.

the only happy part was the half-elf thief making off with an armload of treasure while he ate the dwarven druid...

not exactly superheroic, but soemone got some of the goods at least :p
 

last bump, i swear....anyone? underbelly tactics? prized armor made from nostril guards? epic flyswatter made from a hatchlings tail? one of the "severe tire damage" mechanisms from their teeth?

is B.A.D.D. really making all these great plans for noone to run thru?

Hummph! I'll have you know I'm a paladin in good standing. See if I invite you to any of my parties :(

And a good cook to boot, right? Hehe. One of the few names I remember from WoTC's old tank.wizards message board server, back when we were waiting for 3e to be released. :)

Dragons don't pop up too often in our stuff, but a few will be featured in my campagin. One escaped "The Purge" by staying in human guise, in his tower out in the middle of nowhere. The other is a massive red dragon that was entrapped in a dimensional pocket. He's just a bloodthirsty bully, and such a beast that he barely seems to have more than animal intelligence. He's just rage personified, and like most bullies, he has his own worshippers.
Hopefully he'll get good and dead at the hands of the PCs and their allies.

Other than that, you don't see dragons much in our sessions. Apathy is the word.
