[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 1706159, member: 707"] B is ineffective, because the dragon doesn't know who is attacking him, and therefore cannot know his friends. I suppose he could try to attack a random village on the off-chance that he's facing a Neutral-Good druid who lives in the same swamp, but really, without the dragon knowing the druid, it's just as likely he's a Neutral-Evil foreign druid who's heard there's a black dragon in the area and wants to sell the carcass to an evil wizard in exchange for a [i]Druid's Vest[/i]. I totally agree with A. A dragon can do this, and really I think after a few days he'll realize that this is his only option. He can leave, then figure out a way to identify the druid and kill him later. In terms of lifespan, time is on the dragon's side. Eventually he'll be able to polymorph into human form and start investigating the druid in villages and towns, maybe even getting a cleric to cast [i]Commune[/i] to help him track down his "dear friend." But in the short term, driving off the dragon is a victory for the druid. Either the dragon stays and dies, and the druid wins, or the dragon finds a new home, and the druid wins. Though if the dragon flees, the druid may have the whole affair bite him in the rear at a later date. :) [/QUOTE]
