I can't remember his name, but I'd modelled him after Indiana Jones. His core weapons were a whip and a hand crossbow.The party happenstanced across a white dragon's lair. Embedded in the ice floor of a massive cavern was his treasure. Being thief, my character immediately tried to figure out a way to get the treasure and since the dragon was nowhere to be seen, he started to investigate.Of course, the dragon sprung us and as we were getting slaughtered, my character decided that enough was enough and so, from a ledge of the cavern wall, he wrapped his whip around a stalagtite and leapt outwards to land on the dragon's back.Climbing up the neck, he wrapped his legs around and proceeded to poke sharp objects into it's head. It was an epic struggle to hold on, jab, and not get himself smashed against the cavern roof.IIRC, he got thrown off eventually, and the group ran, less one party member, who was currently being consumed <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
