[QUOTE="Crimson Longinus, post: 9512105, member: 7025508"] First, that underwater plan is really clever and unless the dragon knows they have such magic, I wouldn't assume it would automatically realise what is happening. Even if it managed to track the character to the river, it might just assume the characters crossed the river or swam a bit to some direction and then got on the shore. So it might waste a lot of time searching around the river but not in the river. And the quasit having int 7 and passive perception of 10 won't find anything even if it was there, so the dragon really cannot rely on it, so it might need to again waste time checking several directions. Also are there any other intelligent creatures in the area? People who the characters could convince to help them, if not in fighting the dragon, then by healing or distracting the dragon so that the characters could escape. And the legendary resistances do not reset right? Do the character have anything left for which that would matter? And if things do not work out, being killed by a dragon is among the coolest ways to go. Though whilst you said the dragon would not leave any of them alive if it won, nor would accept surrender, are you absolutely sure of that? Could it perhaps kill the others, and leave one character alive, and tell them to run and tell everyone to not to mess with this dragon. Dragons are vain, it might be appealing to its ego to have its terrible reputation to spread. Then you could have a cool connective narrative of the lone survivor recruiting a new party to take revenge on the dragon. [/QUOTE]
