Without knowing the players themselves, it is hard to put a specific prediction on what their chances are, but there is nothing indicating they are guaranteed success or doomed to failure. I suspect, given they have expended some resources and are up against a rather tough fight, that there is more likelihood of defeat than in many encounters. Given the dragon's nature as a Lurker, and its ability to create darkness, a lot will depend on the terrain and their tactics, whether they keep it on the move and force it out into the open, and so forth.  Given the party composition, they have a decent bit of everything they need (healing, damage, durability), and if they are all built as effectively as the archer, should be able to deliver solid damage if they can get the dragon in the open. I'd say if they play the battle intelligently, they have a very good chance at success without any deaths. If they don't, or if the dragon makes exceptionally good use of the environment, then things may go badly - and if the dragon manages to take out their heavy hitters first, things will be looking pretty bad.  But again... every fight has random chance, every fight will change difficulty based on how good the players are and other specifics. The party definitely can defeat the dragon - the potential is certainly there - but is by no means guaranteed.</blockquote>
