[QUOTE="Ibram, post: 2047847, member: 17640"] Dragons IMC are power encarnate, ancient beings from an ancient time before the creaters of man and elf ever crawled from the sea. They are, by any mortal definition, gods. They know their strenghts and weaknesses, and when stirred to action, be it by the shifting of the stars, vast wars among the mortal world, or the reckless action of a thief they are terrible in their wrath. Here is how the "average" dragon rampage works: 1) Dragon wakes up from a few thousand years of slumber, leaves his hidden lair (at the bottom of a lake or under a mountain). Snack on a few villiages and then go looking for some good prey (using shapechanging abilities to pass as what ever vermin currently think they rule the world), 2) Find a good kingdom, large but not to powerful. Set about creating cults and infiltrating the various organizations that populate the kingdom. If to much resistance is encountered then walk away and find some better prey. this usualy takes about 10 years. 3) sow chaos and destruction. This is when the dragons presence becomes obvious, it flies around destroying villiages at seeming random (while in actuality herding the population into smaller and smaller areas. While this is going on cults and other servants of the dragon go about destroying supplys and assasinating important personages. 4) Once everyone is cowering in the capital, and the kingdoms armies are have been wasted away the dragon pounces, bringing all its power to bear smashing the city and consuming nearly everyone inside. 5) The dragon sits inside the ruins of the castle, eating and enjoying itself with the local population. followers of the dragon travel the countryside brining treasure and sacrifices to their god. 6) bored and sleepy the dragon kills nearly everyone who remains and flies off to its hidden lair to sleep for another few thousand years. In actual combat the dragons best weapons are the fear it creates and its ability to fly. Dragons favor supprise attacks, strking a sleeping encampment out of the night sky or sneaking inside a barracks to kill all within. They are well versed in causing terror in their enemies (targeting supposidly save havens, attacking at midnight every night for a week, killing every person in a town then putting all their heads in the kings courtyard, ect...). They are also very paitent, waiting for days or weeks to strike then killing a single person and vanishing. They are at their most vulnerable while hibernating in their lairs, which is why the location of a dragons lair is always a closely guarded secret. Lairs are often built in remot locations far from civilization (the middle of a desert, under a lake, or on an uncharted island). Other lairs are guarded by those who worship the dragon, protected by legions of fanatical warriros. [/QUOTE]
