shadow dragon with solo druid

[Cippa Lippa]

Hi guys

I just was able to kill the shady dragon with a solo vanilla druid, that was quite cool. My druid was at the 13th level - so not a huge tank. After a couple reloads I got it right. I am using plan SoA+ToB with ease, item, and TDD - I went there in fact to get the fabled staff of fleet...

The great thing was to have the shapeshifter rebalancing which gives you a very powerful conjure animals spell at the 6th level. I thus got my bearweres, a fire elemental and a nymph. I sent over the nymph alone to trigger the automatic death spell from the dragon, luckily he has only one. I tried casting a doom on the dragon twice while he was still friendly but he MR'd out of it. I casted very minimal buffing - iron skins, NPP and chant and I went on him. with all my summons plus a simmy that I got out of my vhailor helm

the summons resisted an ungodly amount of time while me, being of course the least dangerous guy was getting minimal attention with my mere 2 attacks per round.... as soon as I was finishing my NPP I was leaving the room, cast it again and get back.... the bears, after having been shoved all over the place could see the dragon anymore and so they sitted in one corner (pity) while the fire elemental fought for a good half of the battle... I guess the summons were really good at getting down his stoneskins because in the last moments he was completely unguarded and I smashed him for good.

I admit that with the smarter dragons mod it would have been probably a LOT more difficult, but I was happy to take down a dragon in soa without any obvious cheating - the simmy basically ran in fear from moment one and the bear only did something in the first 25% of the battle...

Cheers
