If the dragon is aware that the party is on their way to off the beast, appropriation of some hostages may be the way to go. Preferably people important to the PC's (loved ones etc), but failing that, someone important to someone whom the PC's have to answer to (ie king's daughter, etc.). If you're sure that your PC's are good roleplayers and they have good alignments, then just round up some peasants. When the party arrives, threaten to kill the hostage/s there and then if they a) don't go away now, b) don't surrender now or c) don't go away but first pay tribute with gold or magic items to the dragon.2) Breeding Program. Some dragons wont take well to this as they think that dragons are supreme and their blodline shouldn't be diluted, and would balk at the idea of mating with non-dragons. For those with less moral hang-ups, start them breeding with various different creatures; half-dragon minions are much tougher than just regular minions. Half-dragon humans (preferably spellcasters), ogres, anythings really. Add one or two younger dragons as well, and you have quite the draconic horde.3) Death by Enviroment. So, the dragon's a red and immune to fire? Hot, volanic cavern riddled with lava flows. Blue? Middle of the desert, hot and hard to survive in without loads of water. Black? Corrosive swamp - he uses his breath weapon regularly to hose the water down, making it incredibly dangerous to navigate through.4) Acid Roof. A black dragon breathes a line of acid - but lets say he hoses down the ceiling of a cave with it before the fight, so that throughout the battle small amounts of acid are dripping down onto the party below, like corrosive rain?Hope that helps...</blockquote>
