[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 6086316, member: 59082"] Thanks, Pemerton - I'll check out the link. I really want to avoid action denial and may just say that the dragon has a powerful magic item, or artifact, that prevents it (or is there something like that already, a "brooch of free action" or something like it?). Actually, action denial is one of my least favorite parts of 4E, but that's another matter. I'm imagining a huge cavern with lava flows and flying demons of some kind - any recommendations? The flying demons would mainly attack the PCs before they reach the red dragon, but would at least serve to bring their total number of healing surges down. I haven't thought of any actual minions to fight alongside her, although am considering salamanders that come up out of the lava. Oh yeah, to answer your first questions - you are right, the answers are "yes and no." But I prefer the idea that it accents their weaponry more. I really want them to face a foe that is well beyond their capabilities but that they can conceivably help defeat with magical aid, which in this case is starblood. [/QUOTE]
