The druid and the wolf run to the bodies and fall into the pit. The dragon who has seen this group approach has himself hidden a little alcove he dug in the side of the pit.  Now he breaths on the druid and the wolf with his cold breath. Both make there save. They also have Endure Cold up because they are traveling in the snow. Now Intiative. The Half orc goes first and thinks the pit isn't very and tries to jump the hole the wolf and druid made. He also ends up in the pit.  The cleric goes next.  He has stone shape memorized and stoneshapes a stairway on the wall of the pit. The wolf charges the dragon but the dragon only takes a few points of damage thanks to his damage reduction.  My dragon then takes to the air, hovering 40 ft above the party most of the time. I also get lucky with my breath weapon every other round or so.  Now here is where my dice conspired against me.  I NEVER got a single hit with my claw attack when I attempted to snatch a party member and drop them from the sky. I needed to roll like 7 or better, if I add the totals of 3 of my attacks I got a 7 <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" />   I also got hit by 2 flame strikes in the same round and failed those saves as well. There is 1 1/2 times damage from that. I had 210 Hit points, got nickled and dimed to about 110, from spiritual weapons, and the cleric greater magic weaponed crossbow bolts. I did manage to at least get 3 party memebers each time I used my breath weapon.   To my beneifit the party never got more than 1 melee attack a round on me if any at all. My downfall was the dice. Also the CR for a young adult white dragon is 7 and my party average is 9. I hope my tactics at least hold to BADD standards.</blockquote>
