Hmmm. Piece of cake eh? I must have chosen some very inefficient strategies then, as I found him quite the challenge. Indeed, if not for the fortuitous timing of a successful Sunnis summoning, I think I'd still probably be reloading and wracking my brain for more methods to negate his dire breathweapon.
Anyway, I basically buffed up my fighters first, (yes, with prot from fire spells, thanks Dundee!) then went bezerk with Jan by making a line of traps in the centre of his chamber. I then used an Edwina simulacrum and made some skull traps, easing closer to our prey. I then threw death fog, a couple of cloud kills with Jan and Edwina to get his attention as my Avenger began to summon the lucky elemental. I'd almost lucked out and killed him in a previous battle with Chan as a tank, but this time I lucked out with Sunnis and sent him, Korgan and Minsc to keep him occupied whilst everyone else retreated in case of sudden whooshing fire.
Sunnis was surprisingly effective and I managed to get in a greater malison which worked and as we retreated back, all of the traps we set came into play, blatting ol' Salady into Near deathness. A couple more blows from the tanks and he was finally dead beneath our feet. Huzzah! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Honestly, I found him in my experience to be possibly the toughest dragon encounter, as none of the other dragons seemingly have his fire-power. Saladrex was able to still kill my party when we were cowering in deepest corners of the stairway! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
