[QUOTE="Luz, post: 7315733, member: 94725"] Late to the party here. It sounds like your group was well prepared and had a lot of resources, so there is only so much one dragon (or DM) can do against that if you allow the [i]forcecage[/i] to work on a gargantuan dragon (I wouldn't). I'm curious to know what other spells the dragon had besides the [i]chain lightning[/i] it used while in the [i]forcecage[/i]). Did it not have an escape spell like [i]misty step[/i] or [i]dimension door[/i]]? Even something like [i]polymorph[/i] to transform into a flea to escape the cage should work. Other than that, there isn't much you could have done in those circumstances. There is an ancient red dragon's lair in Quests of Doom from Frog God Games, I think it's called Emeralds of High Fang by Ed Greenwood. The place is huge, befitting the dragon's size, and allows it to use hit and run strategies as well as take full advantage of its natural 120-ft. darkvision. When this is paired with its 90-ft breath weapon (against the party's 60-ft darkvision), it can make all the difference between an easy fight and a deadly one.
