[QUOTE="Boarstorm, post: 6357712, member: 63913"] I feel like this encounter is being misrepresented. First off, the dragon is only half-interested in the attack in the first place. It wants to leave if given ANY justification. In fact, as written, the dragon leaves the field of battle after suffering only very minor injuries (I don't remember the exact number, but the bowshot mentioned in the OP is close to its limit). Secondly, the PCs are accompanied by a refilling stock of NPCs. At any given time, there should be [B]TWENTY [/B]NPC guards up on the tower with them. Getting that minor damage should be trivial with bounded accuracy. Thirdly, the dragon is explicitly stated to attack the NPCs with its breath weapon, leaving the PCs alone unless they do something truly outrageous to draw its attention (just another arrow in a sea of them probably doesn't qualify regardless of the damage it does. How's the dragon to know which person shot that particular arrow?). As an aside, how does a line breath weapon hit the whole party? Were they literally lined up in a row for it? Edit: What [MENTION=52492]TheRustyOne[/MENTION] said. [/QUOTE]
