no it does not
wand of frost does 8d6 dmg, which the dragon would save against, he will only do aorund 12 dmg each round
he had a lvl 9 party, his mage would certainly be lvl 9 or lower, that means he has only 2 (specialist mage) lower resistence, or 1 lower resis and 1 breach, or 2 breaches.
since his fighters cannot/should not hit the dragon with a thac0 above 8 (lvl 9 fighter cannot have a better thac0 than 8, unless he cheated or load in items) so that means, he will not be relying on melee a lot. but he does have an archer, an archer can perfectly have a 1 thac0 at lvl 10.
I suppose he had 1 breach and 1 lower resistence
lvl 9 mage's lower resistence lasts 9 rounds, and a wand of frost does around 12 dmg each hit. also, if he has no front line, he cannot possibly move in his mage to use wand, because the dragon will dispel/wing/melee the mage. he will have mostly about 5 rounds to use wand. 5 times 12 = 60 dmg
archer will do a lot dmg to the dragon, (1d6 +1d2) X 4 in 9 rounds 162 dmg (the luckest condition, average dmg) 162 + 60 = 212 dmg, it only BARELY beats Firakaag. but if you count in that Firakaag can FULLY heal himself, you come to conclusion that he is lying.
so I want his detailed strategy, equipment, and characters
