[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 3656620, member: 19675"] Minimum 5th if the dracolitch is just beginning to stir... The party isn't fighting the dracolitch itself, just things it summons to defend itself- essentially, magical antibodies. Lift other concepts, this time from Five Million Years to Earth & Forbidden Planet. Instead of dracolitch bones, the miners are finding remnants of an arcanely powerful nonhumanoid race who lost control of their abilities, becoming extinct in a burst of arcane energy that instantly transmuted their bodies into a variety of minerals including precious metals and gems...but a bit of their consciousness lives on, trapped. Because they were nonhumanoid, the beings' remains are never recognize for what they are. Monster choices? I have 4 words for you: Feral Barbarian Mephling Tribe. :) Add some ice slides a la Ice Age for some comedic relief...unless the slides are the way a polar predator hunts (think Ant Lions, Trapdoor Spiders, etc.)- it makes slides that lead to deep crevasses from which it can pick off prey at its leisure. Check out some info on Iceland- simultaneously very volcanically active and subject to the normal icy cold of the other countries in its lattitude. As I recall, the movie Robinson Crusoe of Mars also has some interesting interactions between cold and heat in caves. [/QUOTE]
