Heres a strat im sure mobody ever used.

WHats Required?

2 mages and some with alot of life.

What I used?

Edwin, Jan, and my RANGER

What equipment?

2 mages, nothing. You guy with lots of life gets boots of speed, and cloak of mirroring.

What to do?

Just send in the guy with lots of hp in and run around in circles, the dragon will never be able to touch you. Now have your mages pummel him with spells, lowering magic resistance is not what I used, but it might be easier. I had it on insane, so crank the dif to insane for maximum results.

What I finished with-

I had Jan finish him of with a lightning bolt after edwin pummeled hit with practically 10 melfs acid arrows.

What else?

I was a HUGE newbie back then. I didnt get all crazy when I saw the dragon cuz I thought he would be super easy. I also had Jaheria, Anomen, and Korgan in the background doing nothing. Oh, and I used this strat on Firkraag.

To make the tactic even easier

Have more mages! DO NOT make the mages get very close cuz the dragon might run after the helpless mages. IF this happens, get the guy with lots of hp to slash at the dragon to get him back.

I hope it helps, my party was between 13-14. I didnt do many quests. If your not it ch6 and you dont have boots of speed or cloak of mirroring, use substitutes.

Haste the guy with hp every now and then, and give the guy alot of protection against the type of dragon. IE, fire for firkraag, acid for someother dragon.

Oh ya, he stopped wing buffoting after I sent in a crap load of kobolds.
