[QUOTE="Rackhir, post: 4427778, member: 149"] "But [b][i]perhaps[/i][/b][i][/i] I can find one or two other skilled people willing to accompany us." That's PERHAPS, not definitely. Nor do we know how likely they are to be effective against THIS dragon vs some generic "young punk" dragon. It's not a question of if it's possible to beat the dragon. This dragon was clearly quite specifically designed to screw us if we went in there assuming it was anything resembling a "normal" Wyrm black dragon. I've heard nothing from you in terms of plans that doesn't amount to basically "More of the same things only 'better'." Which doesn't give me any confidence things are likely to go better the third time around. No. Nobody (aside from perhaps you) was worried about leaving. If we got scattered we'd still have been out of there. It was moving around in the place that we knew teleportation/dim door/etc... were unreliable. Nameless didn't try to teleport out of there after the debacle, with the other party members, because I didn't know if Korm could get out on his own and he was stuck on the other side of the wall of force with Gareth. While we had no way for us to bring it down. Since you and I were the only people who had really argued for going back in there, I though we should be the ones who were going to suffer for it if anyone was. It might well be lethal for us to know any more. The dragons didn't exactly seem happy for us to even know it existed. When exactly ISN'T greed a major motivation for Gareth by the way? Shil has mentioned a couple of time how useful that spell can be in this sort of situation. He doesn't do that casually in my experience. Also, the main reason we didn't do stuff like open up with the stun spell was we didn't know if he had electricity protection up or if it had been brought down by one of the dispells. Having that spell up would have let us know. Yeah, he also said I'd level up when he got back the last time I died and he went off to India for the summer and I didn't level up until like a month-two months after he got back. I'll count my levels once we've got them. Shil has. While he is good about separating knowledge for NPCs, that dragon was also quite clearly designed to screw us over and he's demonstrated multiple times that he's a better planner than we are. Yes and I'm a cynical, "Glass half empty" kind of guy. [/QUOTE]
