[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 5565458, member: 10784"] First - welcome to enworld. Second, are there others on the ship? If so, maybe the skill challenges involves getting the others to help out and minimize their losses? (the more survivors, the more help with the repairs and also guard the ship when the players move inland for supplies/wood/exploration) Third, perhaps the ship has a ballista (or two) on it that can be used for help? A younger dragon would likely fear something that can chuck a large spear at them at the speed of a crossbow bolt. Maybe a skill challenge to operate it properly? Fourth, the lower level SOLO dragons are level 3 and 4 (young white dragon, level 3 solo brute and blue dragon sky bandit, level 4 solo artillery). While challenging, a level 3/4 solo is not impossible at first level, especially if the players are fully rested. Again, perhaps a skill challenge ahead of time to get some help for the players - NPC sailors with arrows or spears, a ballista, etc. Good luck! I've found DMing 4E much easier than 3.5E, though I had a lot of fun running 3.5E as well. [/QUOTE]
