Re: april (dragon hunting)

I certainly agree with waiting until we are full on spells. Yes, my
fists will hurt the dragon. We haven't mentioned the other dragon-like
things that we saw, smaller tho they were...should we try and destroy
those first before taking on the older wyrm?

I cannot use a bow of that sort (read: my weapon groups don't include
bows, just crossbows), so Westwind is likely the best person to take the
shot. I suppose I could run up and stick the arrow in by hand! :) I am
really not good at ranged combat; I prefer to get up close and personal
to my prey. Quite frankly, I think cornering the dragon inside a cavern
would make sense, as it negates the dragon's flight ability. Perhaps we
should scout out a cavern large enough for it to enter, and set a trap?
We don't HAVE to go into its lair if we don't want to.

I know little about dragons, but I am not worried about fear. After
all, haven't you slayed dragons before? I am more concerned about the
other flying lizards we observed. I mislike the idea of sending
Westwind in alone as "bait"... if this dragon is somehow connected with
the Slave Lords, it may know about a powerful halfling warrior named
Westwind. The Slave Lords themselves know about you all, we should
expect the worst, that this dragon may know as well.

I do not think the tunnel will lead to anywhere, but I am willing, since
we are resting up anyway, to continue to explore it.

[OOC for a moment] Andrew, the dragon that attacked our ship, that one
also looked demonic in nature. Wraith doesn't know about that, but I
bet Westwind and Kespin (who saw it close up) remember that vividly.
