I regularly TROUNCE Big Red with a level 9 to 11 party. It's one of the first things I do on my list.

I see you have a Sorcerer. Do you have Spook and Skull Trap? Use Spook on the dragon to keep him running from you at all times. If he is running, he aint attacking. Make sure your whole party can use missle weapons. Slings, bows, and crossbows. Especially crossbows. Bolts of Biting work rather well here. So do Arrows of Ice. Since your party is at range, or, at least it should be, lack of missle weapon use is just piss poor planning, use Skull Traps when possible. And BTW, Arrows of Dispelling will get rid of his combat protections.

Keep monsters summoned. With the Wand of Monster Summoning if you can. Hobgoblins are good. If Big Red is pulping monsters, he aint pulping you.
