I am fighting a silver dragon and find that my main character takes hit whenever the silver dragon heals herself. I also found that I can't cast fireballs or any such spells near my traps, because that kills my swashbuckler.

While I keep talking of silver dragons, does anyone have tips to kill it (on insane) with a level 15 priest of Talos (main char), level 17 swashbuckler and a level 14 sorcerer and a summoned air elemental? I managed to kill it once after about 7 reloads, but the swashbuckler got crushed and cannot be resurrected. My tactic was to buff with all possible spells including a scroll of cold protection, then turn the cleric into a slayer so he had -22 AC, 5 attacks, -9 THACO (only first strike, then it raises to 1 for some reason). My swashbuckler set 4 traps nearby, hid in shadows for THACO bonus, then I had all 4 attack the beast, doing hit-and-run tactic. But whenever the dragon heals herself, my main character dies.
My sorcerer tries to breach the stoneskin.
