Hey ENWorld!
In my next session, my players will have to bargain with some wizards so they can cast a high level ritual for them. But they have no way to pay for the spell, so they will have to do something in return.
So I was thinking this morning and thought that an encounter with a dragon 5 - 6 lvls higher than the party should make for a very exciting encounter. The players have only to distract the dragon and draw him out of his cave, so the wizard can get in and steal a magic item.
But here's the thing: how do I make this encounter exciting? What kind of abilities the player will use? They can't just enter the cave and run away, because that would be a dead giveaway. Also, what kind of fun terrain I should use? I really want this to be a careful encounter, where they may use even their skill mid combat.
The party is lvl 7 and is composed of a Ranger, a Paladin and a Fighter.
Thanks for your help!
