Problems with Draconis

Post by adv2001 »

I am having troubles to kill Draconis in his dragon form. The battle goes well with Draconis in his human form. The party does not get a single scratch. My usual strategy to kill dragons (worked very well until now) to let Imoen cast a spell sequence with 3 lower resistance spells and then finishing him off with missiles, cones of cold etc. does not work. Somehow Imoen can not cast the lower resistance (and other similar spells) because this dragon is protected with a spell of holyness (or so... I am playing the german version). Has anyone a idea how I can get trough this protection or is there an other strategy?
Thanks!

cast resist fear on the party then greaterwhirlwind yoru fighters and draconis should fall pretty quickly. just ignore the side monsters.

Yeah, the stalkers are pathetic and will fall to death fog or something similar, I gave a cxecent tank the big metal unit and switched on grt whirlwind with Arguvadal and Foebane (all +5) And he died easy. Just don't use spells on him, rely on Mele.

Nalia has Draconis as her most powerful vanquished in my most recent game. I loaded her up with a Chain Contingency of Horrid Wilting x3, plus a Spell Trigger with Pierce Magic and 2x Lower Resistance. When Draconis shifted to Dragon Form, my fighters kept him busy while Nalia ran within his sight and cast Time Stop. Her Chain Contingency (set to go off on sighting an enemy) fired just as she got off the Time Stop. She then cast Improved Alacrity, the Spell Trigger, Breach, Greater Malison, several more Horrid Wiltings, Power Word: Blind, Ray of Enfeeblement, and a couple of Magic Missiles. When time returned to normal, my computer bogged down with all the spell graphics, but Draconis and his buddies were all very dead. ;)
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.
