The only living things around him are the men, dwarves, and goblins he has enslaved. He lives deep in a cavern in a remote mountain range and never ventures forth from it.  The grey dragon attacks with the usual claw/claw/bite routine but gets two additional swings with his claws because of his tremendous speed. The latter two claw attacks are at -1 “to hit” and do only 1-4 points of damage. Rahab’s breath weapon is a gas cloud that affects all victims with its boundaries (2″ + 2″ + 3″) as a super-powerful charm spell. Affected characters or creatures who fail their saving throw vs. breath weapon will never again attack Rahab or do him harm for as long as they live, or until the effect of the breath weapon is negated by a Remove Curse spell.  Those who enter the dragon’s cavern will find nothing but a large mound of blackness, for Rahab is hidden by a form of Continual Darkness. The spell is not affected by anything save Continual Light, which will act as a Light spell. In this darkness, Rahab has an armor class of -5. If the darkness is temporarily alleviated by the application of Continual Light, its armor class worsens to -2.  If adversaries come close enough to the dragon, or if Rahab advances toward his foes, the grey dragon may be able to envelop his opponents in this blackness, effectively blinding them. If he manages to do this Rahab receives a +5 bonus “to hit” on each character so affected. The dragon’s own vision is sufficient to see under the darkness. The edge of the area of darkness is approximately three feet away from the dragon and surrounds him totally.  The dragon can cast two magic-user spells per day, but can use no spell of higher than third level.  Originally appeared in Dragon Magazine #62 (“Steel Dragon - Grey Dragon” by Pat Reinken, June 1982).</blockquote>
