[QUOTE="DM_Matt, post: 478355, member: 1213"] Ubaar: the dragon waited for you to make the first move combat-wise. If this is a DEMON-dragon in the most technical of terms, he would be the kind to fight to get what he wants but would not be the kind to make deals regarding formal challenges. The group was disorganized. Everyone was buffed, some were taunting, some urging calm AND taunting, some preparing to strike, some sitting around, etc. The dragon opted to wait and see what you guys were going to do, because from his perspective, you guys could not really decide what to do. When you guys moved on him, he was ready with his melee defense spell followed by his big attack spell. You (the group in general) only dealt with the dragon in trying to intimidate it. You did not try more subtle approaches. You did not try to figure out why coward is written in four languages across his face. The fact that someone tattooed him with that does not necessarily translate into him being easily intimidated. And why would such a dragon be spending his time holding up passing ships, anyway? All good approaches. You were not really engaging him in conversation, but rather just threatening him...And he did not feel threatened. How does he do that much dmg? Its legal and core, trust me. Later I can tell you what it is. Really, though, its somewhat coincidental/unfortunate that this happened to happen to your character twice in a row. BTW, the fact that you guys are in the water now is not particularly problematic for you. The only way that it might matter is if you go negative and drown at some point. [/QUOTE]
