Unknown to the PC's it has a secret cave accessable only by dimension door which has about 30' of ice between it and the main cave. However, the dragon has access to a ring of mindshielding to protect it from scrying and has a custom spell 'icevision' which allows it to look through ice. When it knows the PC's are approaching it 'ports into its hidey hole and buffs up. Using its icevision spell it watches the party through the ice walls until they are in an ideal position to be ambushed. It then 'ports into the cave and casts a greater dispelling - give it a scroll or two. BBEG's always get dispelled first round by the PC's to good effect but PC's are often surprised when they get the same tactics back at them. The other alternative is have your dragon accept that it will inevitably get it's buffs dispelled and instead start the combat with an antimagic field up to negate all the parties spell power. It's lair should have plenty of booby traps set up to spring on the party during a fight like stalagmites and cave ins. Hey, if ewoks can use booby traps to great effect then dragons certainly can.</blockquote>
