Then it must be the ancient blue dragon.It was in the open and not buried in the sand?Wasn't the lair bigger than at least 240 feet across?Where were its minions? Scorpions should have "seen" you with their tremor sense. A fight so near the lair would have warned it.Also: Passive perception of 27 very hard to beat. Assuming standard array, it means 20 Dex, for +11. A 17 was required to beat the passive perception. And what about Legendary action, the dragon makes a perception check? A +5 initiative is good. But you need higher than 19 because at 20 the dragon will bury itself preventing you from attacking it. Unless you took the alert feat? You could ready your action to use your reaction to attack it once. But not one more attack. After that, the dragon would unbury itself and poof.For the surprise round. If the dragon was lucky and could go first after forfeiting its first turn, it could have taken a reaction. If not then you still needed a good roll. As for the no surprise round that I spoke of, it was more in relation to what used to be a surprise round back in the days. Sorry if I had not been clear enough. I am very curious about your character set up. To solo a blue without dying and suffering no damage at all requires more than a few lucky rolls.Ranger/barbarian/fighter/warlock. A very MAD oriented character. I am very very curious about your character development and how it worked out. We did some of these 4 classes characters in our white room analysis and they always were suboptimal. If such a character can take on a CR23 alone, I am very intrigued.</blockquote>
