Our heroes should face their first dragon soom and my party will be around 4th level, been composed by: - Eladrin Wizard (Wand/Illusion mixed);- Human Cleric (Healer/Avandra);- Human Rogue (B Scroundel);- Dragonborn Paladin (Protec);- Human Invoker (Ioun);- Dwarf Ranger (2-weapon).  1) Darkness fits the theme perfectly, but the advantages of a monster that can see in his own darkness effectivelly gives him permanent combat advantage against melee characters, and +5 in all defenses againt ranged attacks. This puts his defenses almost in paragon level. I know they can simple run away and they will, but they probably will have to fight to escape the fell lurker. They will have something the dragon wants desperately.<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devil.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":devil:" title="Devil    :devil:" data-shortname=":devil:" /> I am usually ok with forcing the PCs to retreat, but I am afraid the encounter would be boring for half my party (specially the ranger and the paladin). We all wanna have fun right? So I ask: Is there a way the PCs can counter the darkness zone? Maybe a magic item, spell, ritual whatever that a NPC can grant them?  2) Can the dragon recharge a power in the same round it sustains it? It seems technicaly ok, but jeez...<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/worried.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":-S" title="Uhm    :-S" data-shortname=":-S" />  permanent unpenetrable darkness all the way.  Thanks in advance!</blockquote>
