[QUOTE="just__al, post: 1494251, member: 11068"] The last campaign I ran the party was in a swamp looking for Swamplight Lynx claws so they could mitigate some of the XP cost for creating a headband of intellect. They find out there's a dragon in the swamp and they decide they want to go after it even after they find it's killed the hydra they chose not to fight. The dragon is holed up in a cave at the end of the swamp and they send in the party's pixie to see if the dragon is really there. Sure enough it is and it's not exactly fooled by the pixie's invisibility. The dragon looses initiative to the pixie and her 9 hitpoints and the pixie quickly gets out of reach of the dragon's breath weapon. The pixie makes it back to the party and the dragon hasn't followed. They are waiting in ambush for the dragon at the cave mouth and the dragon buzzes the whole party (it had a back way out) With the party sufficiently freaked (and suffering from the frightful presence)and the dragon's mage armor and 3.0 shield up the dragon circles around and blasts the party with acid and lands to clean up. That's where the fun starts... The party cannot touch the dragon, it's AC is way too high and he's having fun tearing apart the Paladin. Then the pixie, cleric and wizards all target the dragon with a dispell magic. The last wizard could have saved her's because all the dragon's spells were down but now the party is actually hitting the dragon with some kind of frequency. The battle rages on and the pixie who isn't able to do anything with her tiny bow and non-magical arrows tries to sneak her Otto's irrestible dance past the dragon's SR. And it works! I brought the table to hysterics by standing up and showing the players how the dragon was dancing (think the dirty bird) and now the dragon is in serious trouble. The Ranger sends in his wolf companion and it not only hits the dragon but manages to trip it. Now the dragon is doing the worm (no, I didn't do the worm for my players, I can't do it...) and the next round the dragon is dead.... The dance saved 2 players who would have been dead the next round when the dragon spat on them and flew away, even if they saved... [/QUOTE]
