[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 5028987, member: 63"] I never posted a follow-up. The PCs basically flew in close, attacked, then 'kited' the dragon so it would follow them toward a spot where they'd have ground support. But since the goal was more to kill the prince than the dragon, one of the PCs took control of the ship, and did a crazy half-flip where he pulled up the ship's nose, pointed straight vertical, then actually tilted backward so the ship stalled and started to fall upside down. I let him make an improvised attack roll against the dragon, and he hit, so I ruled the dragon got stuck under the ship, and they all started to fall together. A few NPC minions pegged the dragon with ballista bolts, and the barbarian had a chain prepared, secured firmly to the hull, so he flew around the dragon, taking more than a few opportunity attacks. But when tied off the chain, the dragon was stuck. The fight started at a high enough altitude that it actually lasted 10 rounds, with the PCs staying on until the last second to make sure no witnesses could escape. The PC rogue garroted the prince, then tossed him at the dragon, and the whole party abandoned ship, flying away and using various tricks to reduce the amount of damage they took. The ship smashed to bits, and as far as anyone can tell, the prince died fighting the dragon to his last breath. [/QUOTE]
