Message: <blockquote data-quote="jedavis" data-source="post: 5964269" data-attributes="member: 35933">Oh-ho!  We finished a Trailblazer campaign like this not three months ago.  Slew a total of eight dragons ranging from an adult green up to an old red.  Character motivations ranged widely; we had a couple guys who were of the "save the humans" position, some who were after the treasure, and I had a genocidal "kill all dragons" dwarven ranger (they burned off my beard, and for that, they must all be put to the axe).The first one was a mature adult black; we had to fight our way into its lair, which was guarded by half-dragons, their mother (a powerful evil cleric), her pet zombies, and her pet (rebellious and easily subverted vampires).Second was the adult green, which had no minions.  Locating his lair was a pain, and there was magical misdirection involved, but we were <a href="http://wanderinggamist.blogspot.com/2012/04/sometimes-they-win.html" target="_blank">ultimately unsatisfied with the final fight</a>.  We went after this one because we had a couple new PCs and in-world wanted them blooded against something weaker before we went up against the next one...Who was the adult red and her brood of four juveniles.  We managed to trick her into attacking a city ruled by a powerful enchanter, and we set them against each other and managed to slay them both.  For their part, the juveniles failed their saves against Mass Suggestion and were easily disposed of.The final slaying occurred in the burning aftermath of the ruination of the city, when an old or mature adult blue appeared to try to kill us and complete a ritual to summon Tiamat using various draconic artifacts that we had gathered from the dragons we had slain (this was thoroughly foreshadowed, and we quite expected something of this sort, so it was fair).  Despite being down two PCs from the fight against the red, we scraped a narrow victory and saved the world.</blockquote>
