[QUOTE="Maialideth, post: 7354715, member: 6795301"] My (recently cancelled) group had 5 dragon encounters, though 3 were technically the same dragon (from LMoP - the original, later they summoned a copy of it for entertaining the fey court, and when they returned to their castle, the real version was waiting for them). They also met a Lawful Neutral adult silver dragon, that wanted to destroy the portal they needed, in the center of an ancient frost giant citadel. They actually managed to talk their way out of it (through really great roleplaying and very lucky skill checks). The last dragon was a blue dragon, that used goblins to work in a sort of excavation site. The PCs killed the goblin foreman and so the dragon attacked. The battle took place down in the excavation site around a lot of goblin huts. Many goblins fought as well but were only really cannonfodder as they posed no threat to the PCs (I used the mob rules in DMG). At one point, the dragon burrowed into the ground and the next round burst through the side of a wall on the plateau behind them, and released its lightning breath on all the PCs, as they had just positioned themselves in a straight line. TPK. One of the PCs woke up later though (she was infected with wereboar lycanthropy, and I ruled that the special endurance was acceptable here for story reasons). She rescued the rest of the party and they tried to retrieve their gear. Unfortunately the dragon already knew this and had set a trap for them. He was in fact an archaeologist and needed someone to disable some ancient traps to get access to the tomb of a hobgoblin king. The dragon was only interested in the historical artifacts, so the PCs were allowed to keep the gold and magic items (maybe 2000 gp total, some adamantine weapons, an elemental gem and possibly some other stuff that I can't remember now). The dragon's own hoard was kept in a hole in the floor behind a grid of lightning that it created with its breath. The dragon agreed to contact the party if he needed help another time, i.e. they got a dragon patron. Oh wait... I forgot they also fought some wyrmlings at various points. Some had been captured for arena battles, others had invaded an ice dwarf forge. They were also quite fun encounters. As someone mentioned above, flight is a powerful ability and in my group nearly disabled the dwarf fighter, because of 25 ft. speed and no real ranged weapons. [/QUOTE]
