We had been beaten and battered all day and our cleric and druid's spells were exausted. we were in an underground cavern system and lookind for a good defensable spot to camp. Everyone was at 1/4 HP or less except for my Knight oddly enough who hadent been touched all day. My AC was -2 and was not the best in the group either. We come around the corner face to face with an adult red dragon. Knowing were all dead, my Knight tells everyone else to run and he will try to buy them some time. They run and he advances on the dragon. Round 1 the dragon breathes. I make my save and my ring of fire resistance further reduces my damage. Round 2 the dragon uses claw, claw, bite and fumbles on the first claw attack, thereby losing the other attacks. I attack and roll a natural 20. On the critical hit table I roll a 00, which is decapatation. The DM rules that even my +2 two-handed sword cant decapatate an adult red dragon in 1 hit but it can slit its throat. I parry wildly for the next 3 rounds until it bleeds to death. I walk away from the battle with hardly a scratch on me. I catch up to the party about 20 minutes later carrying a dragon horn and act like it was nothing.</p></blockquote><p></p>
