I play 1E Old Grey Box FR, so the power level is quite low compared to the uber magic, wizard-in-every-bar that came later.That being said, Waterdeep has a least one iron golem for defence, has Khelben Arunsun in the coty and is a member of a sub-continent spanning alliance (The Lord's Alliance) AND, more importantly to the Black Dragon, TWO Gold Dragons have proven willing to fight him over it. So those odds aren't very good.Mind you, I expect 10,000 dead in the event of an attack by the Black before he's beaten off. It's the height of Winter at the moment and large scale destruction will mean many deaths from exposure after the battle and possible starvation if the granaries are hit.An ancient Black dragon is CR 16. Mine's a mature adult, a CR 12. For a city of 100,000 with at least one high level mage, they should win.</blockquote>
