Slaying a smart Dragon who have Stoneskins, Dimension Doors and Heals on his disposal with mere arrows and light feet is not the easiest of tasks.
Why yes, I have. [img]smile.gif[/img] You will be surprised how easy it is to kill the Improved Dragons with an archer-type unit. Stoneskins? Acid/Flame/Ice Arrows or Arrows of Dispelling. Heal? Barrage the Dragon with enough Arrows of Biting or Bolts of Biting and it will be biting the floor soon.

The most important thing is... be immuned to its' Dragon's Breath. Once you achieve that, you have for all purposes, won the battle already.

The Skull's attack rate is not the problem. The problem is that once it spots you, the Skull will use its annoying "Project Force" special ability which will repeatedly knock you off, a la Wing Buffet, and level drain you if you're not protected.
Amulet of Power, and I know about the Project Force thingy, but you have enough time to rush in, backstab, and rush out. Failing that... snipe, stealth, snipe, stealth the guardians with arrows( replace stealth with Staff of Magi if you have it), then kill the Skull.
