Yep, my battle with the Shadow Dragon. The actual confrontation took at least 45 minutes, but 25 of them were the final confrontation. 25 gruelling, desperate minutes of frantic spellcasting, slicing, dodging, swift healing, hacking, running around in circles, rotating party members, getting wingbashed, running FASTER, spending time unconscious and expending charges of magic items. With a level 12 average party and very few 'big guns' and a party that concentrated on hand-to-hand rather than magic (Nalia and Jahiera - that was the extent of my spellcasting division). Cue a Haste, judicious use of our very under-used bows and a very desperate guerilla battle.

Damn good fun, though. Tense, you know what I mean?
