My PCs were truly overpowered at Lvl 19 (one was an invincible Frenzied Berserker) but I knew Dragotha was so strong that could wipe the floor with them. So I had Lashonna gift the party with a magic orb that could simulate the fight in a "white room" (also, in the simulation Dragotha was alone and without magic items). They were humiliated multiple times (at first they didn't mind fire immunity and were all incinerated in the first round; in the second simulation they were all paralyzed by the Dracolich's gaze and didn't made the second round; the third time they learned that Dragotha had a second breath that could steal their souls...), so they could prepare well. When they finally reached the Tabernacle of Worms and met Dragotha, he was surrounded by powerful allies, mastering strong items, with layers of precast spells; then, the Sorcerer/Paladin (the true mastermind of the party) surprised me starting the fight with a Mordenkainen's Disjunction. It was the first time he used the spell, and the first time the party sacrificed some magic items to overcome a foe. The fight lasted the entire four-hours session, and in the end the ancient beast had to submit and fall into oblivion.</blockquote>
