They could also (IMO) ready actions to attack the dragons limbs when he strikes them. They can also jump and attack him (if they clear 5' height - quick and easy rule, or if they reach 10' height including their vertical reach) They might also try a stunt (climbing a tree and jumping down, hurling another PC in the air, fighting on the shoulders of the largest PC ...), knock the dragon prone (I don't want to be below him when he falls!).there are also a fighter encounter power that requires him to come adjacent - and he might not get away from the sticky fighter anymore.Alternatively you can still switch to your trusted throwing axe - you got yourself a nice, heavy thrown backup weapon, didn't you (or your PCs?)If all fails - seek cover, spread and run in different directions (so he will only get one), or be faster than the fighter, cleric, warlord or dwarf.</blockquote>
