[QUOTE="Shiroiken, post: 6931290, member: 6775477"] My group has encountered 5 dragons. Despite this, they've never lost their fear of them. Two Adult White Dragons in the Air Elemental Node of the Temple of Elemental Evil had a monopoly on the water supply (a glacier), and the level 5 party "worked" with evil Cloud Giants to kill them and break up that monopoly. The party worked both sides, trying to see if they could get them to kill each other, because they though they needed something hidden in the dragon's horde (it wasn't there). Most of the party went down, mostly due to AoE when they were between the two groups, and the Life Cleric was slain. They did manage to kill the remaining White Dragon, who was grievously injured after killing the last Cloud Giant (~ 30 HP left). The party wanted nothing more to do with dragons after that! While wandering the Yatil Mountains, a Copper Dragon swooped down on the party in a narrow canyon. The Gold Dragon Sorceress used Minor Illusion to summon the rune for "Peace" in Dragonic in front of her. It snatched her up and flew off with her. The rest of the group tried to follow, but got lost in the mountains. They gave up, considered her dragon food. It turns out the dragon regularaly snacked on the creatures the party was tracking down. It snatched up the Sorceress, because she knew draconic, and was lonely for conversation. In exchange for a night's discussion, he returned her to the group with directions to the lair they sought. The party was still pretty terrified of dragons, but less so. Two Adult White Dragons were allies of the Frost Giant Jarl, and the players stumbled into their lair. While much higher level (11 vs. 5), the battle was epic, with half the party dropped, and the Bard slain. She was restored with Revivify, but once more Dragons are on the Do Not Mess With list.
