The rest I roughened up the walls on and ditched the paintings. I am using the lower levels as a breeding hive  for the spawn of zargon. The main 'stop gaps' as it were are a unpleasant constuct in the true ceremony room on level 6, the two [half dragon-dire wolf strength] Hell hounds standing guard over the fissure on level 7 and the two large unnatural bipeds that patrol the long rounded hall of level 8.The dragon on level 9 was a hard one for me to mentally 'fit' in to the lower level.  Deep in the bowels of a forgotten civilization, a horrid creature dwells in an ancient pyramid, attended to by an insane cult. One day, the creature’s sacrifice came in the form of an azure egg. Had the poor creature within been lucky, it would have been consumed then and there. It was not. Changed within its egg by the otherworldly horror, the dragon was born as one of the Horror's minions. Now growing in mind, body and insanity, the dragon lairs near the Horror, muttering to itself, torn between inborn loyalty to itself, to Law and to its Lord. “It below gave me life... It should not live! I must serve it... It must die again! Must not eat others who serve... so tasty... gold masks so pretty. Demand tribute! Worship! Take tribute! Ia! Ia! Zargon, Child of Carcosa!, Spawn of Yellow! It is killed and is reborn!

Also less thinking is needed for this fight and the DM does not need to be bastard with the use of the improved trip and disarm feats.Hatred of Zargon:  Pseudonatural Young Red Dragon  Large Dragon [Extraplanar] Hit Dice: 13d12+52 143 HPInitiative: +1Speed: 40 ft., fly 150 ft.
