Fighting a Red Dragon

[Iku Rex]

Sounds like a good fight. I'm glad you told us how it turned out.

Fortunately, the other dragons and creatures watching the duel demanded the red dragon spare my life if I conceded (which I wisely did).

Someone must have done some pretty impressive demanding, given how at that point the dragon was incapable of communication and was basically an inherently evil, wounded, pissed off animal.


What spell did you end up taking for level 8?

Any post-fight reflections on what you should have picked to win?

Hi,

I ended up taking Polymorph Any Object for the future possibilities it offered. There were dozens of dragons of all types watching this fight as well as creatures of all types and sizes. It was fun and it was something we will all talk about for many years.

After, my DM told me he would have tried flying really high or using Dim Door to go up a thousand feet or so and just keep hitting the dragon with spells until it failed.

After today's game session, I have to wait until Christmas week to play this game again. The DM lives in Virginia.

I hope you come back to tell us how it went, even if it turns out your DM made the whole thing an illusion.
