Nobody else has any interest in going back there actually. He's even suffering from this delusion that having persuaded one guy to go back with us, who said he'd see if anyone else was interested in going, means that there is now a vast horde of high level characters who will come with us. Or that somehow it's likely to make a difference if he does. As bad as he sounded in the story hour, it doesn't fully convey how nasty that dragon was. Basically only Gareth could hit him in melee. Even with Assay Resistance we still had a not insignificant chance of spells failing against him. He could only fail saves on a one.... etc. The worst thing was his breath weapon. Among other things it uses a horribly broken feat from the Draconomicon that let him up the save DC by his con bonus at the cost of it taking an additional round per point to recharge, which upped the DC to the point where Gareth couldn't make the save without rolling like a 18. Between that the breath weapon being maximized,  it clings (does 1/2 dam in subsequent rnds) and can be set to what ever elemental damage we DON'T have up (he had Analyze Dweomer up). Once is all you need.Toss in that he gets to use Heal and no doubt a carefully selected smorgasbord spells from other classes.No. The rest of us have no interest in fighting him again.As AviLazar said, that is the normal state of affairs in Shil's campaign. Dragons or no dragons and if you ever forget it, he's got no hesitations about making it clear to you. Just go back and re-read the story hour for all the times we've gotten racked up by stuff. We don't dare go to the corner newstand for the morning paper without the entire group being fully buffed up. As a result we use the term "Noia" to describe the well justified belief that they are in fact all out to get us.</blockquote>
