You arrive at exactly the spot desired."Therefore the cleric would be then touching the dragon.  If the cleric was being tactical, they likely would have Readied dispel evil and good to fire instantly upon arrival on the dragon’s back.  If not Readied, then the acrobatics/athletics ability check (and possibly the subsequent Dex save should the check fail) would come into play to stay on the dragon's back long enough to cast dispel evil and good.  Since that spell does not require an attack roll, it just requires that the target be within reach, AND since this is an awesome corner case use of this 5e 5th level spell, I would not make the player roll to hit.My players would not be happy if I added requirements to either spell outside of their descriptions. For the sake of consistency, I try to do my best to run 5e spells as close to RAW as possible (while sometimes, that is admittedly very challenging... looking at you control water when cast... under water!) - unless there was some discussion about a given spell at session 0 or some other time between sessions.</blockquote>
