Oh maybe I found what you need in order to keep this dragon quiet :
From MM p.205
Colossal Centipede poison, DC 36, 2d6 Dex initial and secondary
Colossal Scorpion poison, DC 54, 2d8 Str initial and secondary
The colossal centipede is CR 8 and maybe the easiest to find and more efficient to use vs the Dragon low Dex. Maybe with that you could really surprise the big red beast
[Edit] Wow Nvvyn, you sure are answering fast

HEHE, thank you. Good idea's not enough time though. I'll have to pass on the whole poison thing, unless I am forced to retreat and come back a month later with two missle launchers strapped to my back. (another house rule (missle launchers))
I think I'm just going to use as many spells as possible to lower his SR and Saves, then use all the freezing spells and dex reducing spells I have. hehe
[(edit) Just joking about the missle launchers, my DM uses very few house rules]

See look, none of the sample dragons took plane shift! have an unseen servent place a portable hole into the bag of holding withing 10' of the dragon. No save, no SR, no chance of failure.
I say send him to the astral, the horde of two dragons should make up the cost and give you cool stuff to use against it whenever it gets back. Trust me after looting it's horde, you don't have to worry about fighting in nasty terrain because it will come after you and then YOU have home field advantage. Maybe it will meet some Githynaki in the Astral and decide to become a mount. Problem solved.
