I find and therefore have played very little of it, forgotten realms has a pretty awful tendency to have far too many high level people for my liking. Why does every bartender have to be a 5th level wizzard? things like that stick in my jaw a bit.However i still think your overestimating their ability to defend against a dragon attack. Godzilla movie for example, in modern day world where if we wanted to we could nuke godzilla, still manages to destroy most of new york and do you know why? Just because waterdeep has a wizzard able of casting lightning bolt, or even 20 it does not mean they will be willing to cast things like that in the middle of the city? The only obvious difference here being that waterdeep clearly has prior knowledge of dragons and especially with the recent battle has probably taken some steps to plan a defence but i still feel I may be underestimating the dragons reluctance to risk his own life, but your certainly overestimating the risk too it (imo)In saying that i think i prefer your way of doing things, for the obvious story and pcs actually getting to be the focal point but everything i have ever read suggests that dragons are about as arrogant as it gets and where i may agree a frontal assault of waterdeep would be a bit much the dragon could be, attacking all their trade caravans, killing livestock (the city realisticly cant be self sufficient must by outlying towns)To summarise, just because he cant attack waterdeep per-say does not mean when he runs out of leads he wont just be completely unproductive, dragons, especially black/red from what ive read any ways are highly violent, arrogant and petty. I think he'd want to make just about everyone suffer as much as he is for the soul reason of feeling better.Also by lore as i understand it your white flag for dragon idea would only really work if accompanied by a gold dragon, the sight of a lesser race using something apparently only known to dragons would just about guarantee their death i think.</blockquote>
