[QUOTE="ZSutherland, post: 800092, member: 7638"] If it really is the Youg Adult, yeh you're all toasty, run now or make peace with whatever Gods are in your campaigns pantheon. If it's the smaller one w/ only 4d10 BW, I'd go with the following tactic. Wait for scaly to go to sleep then have cleric silence, invis, & bull's strength whoever can do the most damage with a melee attack. Sneak up on the sleeping beast and CDG after everyone else has readied an action to launch a ranged attack/spell as soon as he wakes up in the very likely event that he doesn't fail the Fort check against the CDG. Try to take him indoors in a fairly low ceilinged area. You don't have fly but Jump could get you close enough for touch attacks probably. Fan out around in him in a circle relying on ranged attacks. Hope that the hoard yields enough to ress the poor sod who went in first. If your DM is playing this right, this will be a hard fight, but at the same time, the dragon's gonna be really pissed, too. As such, if he's picking on someone too long, take free actions to toss insults and/or scoop up a bit of his hoard (assuming that's where the fight takes place), which should draw his attention. If this takes place in a dungeon, it might be worth your time to set up some traps throughout the corridors and memorize their locations, then draw his attention with the CDG and flee to a pre-chosen battle ground. Hopefully his bulk and sheer pissiness will cause the traps to hinder him a bit so you're not standing al in a straight line when be BWs behind you in the corridor and will make him that much angrier and more easily distracted when the fight comes. Absolutely under no circumstances should you attempt to battle him in any area w/o walls and a ceiling. This is suicide. At the same time, don't fight him in such an enclosed space that you can't use your ranged attacks and any reach weapons you have well. Good luck and happy hunting, Z [/QUOTE]
