[QUOTE="Zaruthustran, post: 411068, member: 1457"] Not sure why all the hostility. I think Kai Lord's situation is a fun challenge. Anyway... Kai, it'd help if you posted stats and available assets. As in, how many guys will go with you? How much can you spend on items? Do you have access to spellcasters? For specifics, your best bet is to hide in plain site. Get as many griffons in the air as possible, each one with a rider and an archer. You're just another archer; the dragon will have no way of precisely identifying who is firing which arrow. This tactic may buy you time (unless of course the dragon happens to pick your griffon). Essential Items: *Belt of Feather Fall 1/day (very cheap, and useful for when your griffon gets wasted) *GMW bow and arrows *Bane arrows, if you can get them *Dust of Sneezing and Choking, or some other spell/item that does damage even on a successful save *True Strike item (at least 5/day) Essential allies: *Lots of decoy riders. *Spell casters to load you up with Cat's Grace, Aid, Haste, True Strike, Endure Elements: Acid, Shield *Spell casters to hit dragon with Glitterdust, Dispel Magic, Darkness, Walls of Force (it'd suck--for the dragon--to run into one while flying), Magic Missiles (from many different sides, so as to get around the thing's Shield), Dimensional Anchor. Do the elves have any necromancers? Could your Neutral clerics head to the local haunted house and Command some wraiths? Maybe you could hit the dragon with a swarm of incorporeal, level-draining monsters. Last thing: an Arrow of Dragon Slaying is 100% appropriate. That's what Arrows of Slaying are *for*: taking out specific, tough monsters. Don't be afraid to use the right tool for the job. -z [/QUOTE]
