[QUOTE="swiftgoose, post: 4911940, member: 85128"] [b]very tough[/b] Your party was in for quite a fight. Dragons, as in 3.5, are on the tough end of their level, and it looks like you had a couple of inexperienced players. That said, the dragon itself probably could have killed one of the party by itself. Combining an elite controller really boosts the power scale on a monster like this. It's not simple addition of Jelia + Dragon because Jelia's control powers would enhance the dragon's effectiveness. Instead, its a power increase of Jelia X Dragon. Nasty. I would apologize for a bad session wholeheartedly, but explain it was unforseen as you expected the party to not attack Jelia just to get XP. I would give them the option of a do-over with the levels more balanced, or of pretending the "dead" were merely captured and allowing a rescue mission. I would also be more careful of expecting characters to do what you expect! [/QUOTE]
