[QUOTE="Nemio, post: 6341014, member: 6775814"] What you say is true but very intimidating and scary for new DM's like me that picked up this Starter Set. When I start out I'd like to be able to follow some guidelines or proposals in the book and be able to trust that this advice will prepare me for most possible circumstances. I would like to see the pages with my own eyes to see how it is described but it seems that this is missing for the Dragon encounter. I would find it very strange that no possible diplomatic solution is provided. More than likely I will change it so that the Druid still asks them to chase the dragon off but that using force will probably result in them getting killed. He can then give them some info about how green dragons behave. I have the following text from the SRD. Is the description about right? [I]Green dragons initiate fights with little or no provocation, picking on creatures of any size. If the target is intriguing or seems formidable, the dragon stalks the creature to determine the best time to strike and the most appropriate tactics to use. If the target appears weak, the dragon makes its presence known quickly—it enjoys evoking terror. Sometimes the dragon elects to control a humanoid creature through intimidation and [URL="http://www.enworld.org/wiki/SRD:Suggestion"]suggestion[/URL]. Green dragons especially like to question adventurers to learn more about their society and abilities, what is going on in the countryside, and if there is treasure nearby.
