as the lich didn't show up in the temple ruin (probably had a too low-leveled party), and also usually when I got back from the underdark, the shadow dragon was no fight at all, I decided to take on her earlier than I used to. my party was:
PC Mage 11/ kensai 9
Aerie Cleric 9 / Mage 11
Mazzy 9
Jaheira Druid 12 / fighter 9
Edwin 11
Yoshimo 11
it turned out to be quite tough as I have little idea how to fight her at this stage; it took me couple of reloads (once my stoneskinned PC with 90 hp got instantlly killed by her...had no idea what she did~~~~~) and some *new* discoveries [I wouldn't know when I take on her later on for usually she died quickly]= she can level drain us poor creatures and Mazzy, even at just level 9, won't be knocked unconscious by her wingbuff...
anyway...after we constantly lowered her magic resistance and dispelled her magic protection, Aerie finished her off with one fireball and Flamestrike (with Wand of the Heavens)...as the Flamestrike came down on her, the shadow dragon got toasted and burned into ashes (well...not dusty ashes, but her body was burned into black ash), becoming a "shadow" of her dragon form!!! For all the dragons I killed playing SoA and ToB (I've never killed the silver dragon though), this is the "ugliest" way I've seen a dragon die^_* are there other "fun" or "ugly" ending for these supreme, mysterious beings???
