You can leave the elven city without reloading a saved game, y'know.

I didn't know that, thanks for telling!

Have a couple of mages/clerics summon area spells (Cloudkill, Death fog, Fireball, Ice storm, Holy Smite, etc.). Xast them just out of range of the dragon. After he casts heal rest and repeat. If you do this enough times the dragon should be dead. (Around 60% of the time the dragon should be resistant. Just be persitant)

Levels 12-14? Heh, you sure have skipped literally most of the sub-quests then. This time around I am trying to do as much as possible of those and already in Chapter 2 my party levels are mostly 15-17, main char is lvl 17 [img]smile.gif[/img] Didn't even need any special strategy to take Firkraag down, was mostly just a brute force beat-up.

You can do it with those levels as well, though it will not be easy. There should be few examples on the topic posted, search should help you nicely to find these topics. Generally, get many summons up, send these in first, use debuffing magic to debuff the dragon and then whack at it with all you got. Keep adding summons as you can, these are mainly for cannon fodder, so that the dragon will be busy with them while you plink away at it.

Im assuming you dont have baldurdash installed ( http://members.rogers.com )?

Baldurdash is a fixpack that fixes many problems with the game. Among them is an AI exploit that makes dragons fairly easy. If you dont have it installed, stand all your mages outside whats-is-names vision, and liberally throw cloudkill at him. About 6 or 7 should do it. I havent tried this exploit with this dragon, but it should work. He will cast Heal at some point, which will bring him back to full health. Either fire off more cloudkills (youll likely need wands for that) or hit him with offensive magic just before he gets Near Death.

Other than that, there are 2 other dragons you should have killed by this point, and a load more side-quests you can do to get more levels.
