It is a battle to the death and if the players lose, they die."Two things tho about this case and dragons... This was a dragon vs one, not a dragon vs party challenge as far as we can tell. Second, while your dragons may be that simplistic, 5e gives them a bit more. Two of the bad ones, maybe green and black, get off on corruption - one of high class individuals, the other of institutions. They are not just engines of destruction but also of corruption and decay. Now since (may have missed a post) this dragon color is not known, its entirely possible this was a green or black wanting to cause that paladin longer term internal conflict. Or being intelligent and long term cunning, it could have bigger plans.Point being the offer simply indicates there is more going 9n with this dragon than the casual rampage and kill, hopefully, so ascribing mercy to its motivations and actions is questionable.It vould just be a black green type acting as the MM portrays If I have the colors switched up, that's fine point still stands.</blockquote>
