Here is my famous dragon slaying strategies.
It depends on your playing confidence(how good you are with D&D) and your party exp+composition.

MUST USE PROTECT FROM FIRE, a 10d20 red dragon breath kills!

1) Suitable for melee heavy high exp party
Hack and slash the dragon. MAKE SURE you have very low save vs. breath and spell throws.
Good idea to cast defensice harmony and summon some elementals (fire). Cast protect from fire on all characters

2) Mage heavy low/high level
Cast lower resistance and away with magic missiles/chain lightning..etc.
No summonered animals allows you to use the deadly skull trap and cloud kill spells.

3) Summon + Mage
Use summoned animals to tie the dragon up whilst you fire non-area effect spells.

NOT DRAGONS ARE IMMUNE to fire(red) and acid...but NOT poison.


Firkraag has a low THAC0 -ve 2 or something
Uses insect swarm aginst your mages and used red dragon breath once, fatal.
It has some 300HP and an AC 0f -11.
