Message: <blockquote data-quote="bento" data-source="post: 4049938" data-attributes="member: 36597">I decided to kick off my second series of adventures with an exciting challenge for my players: a fight with a dragon!My players characters are mostly 7th level: Human Rgr 5/ Master of many shapes 2 (using UA Ranger Variant)Human Fighter 7Half-Ogre Rgr 2 / Fighter 2Human Sorcerer 6Elf Rogue 2 / Cleric 4The dragon in question is an adult blue (CR 14).  To even the odds, I'm introducing this plot  through a sand giant (CR 10) and armand (CR 3) who have vowed revenge on the dragon for destroying the caravan they were protecting.  The sand giant and armand are asking the heroes to help lay a trap by playing "bait" and assisting with the fighting.  The players will also be running the sand giant and armand.At the end of the last session the players had just met the sand giant and the armand, who have told them just a little about the dragon, but no details on size.  As it stands my players are busy strategizing on which spells and tactics to use against the dragon.They are really good with battle tactics, only once getting close to a TPK when they met up with a mummy (they lack power against comparable undead).In your estimation and experience, do they have good odds of succeeding?  Have I given them enough fire power to take this challenge on, or will the dragon stomp them into the dust?  I'm also thinking about the giant providing them with some scrolls and "gently used" magical devices for the battle.Am I expecting too much from my players?UPDATED - SEE POST #54</blockquote>
