There are lots of ways to kill dragons. Spoiler

The 1st thing you need to do is lower their magic resistance. Do this before they becoming hostile. Cast the cleric spell magic resistance on them 1st with your lowest level cleric. This significantly reduces their magic resistance. It's normally a protection spell for non-enemies (until you attack or irritate them, they aren't enemies) to increase resistance, but the spell has a warning that if the spell target's resistance is normally higher than what the spell gives, then the target's resistance will actually be LOWERED to the value of that spell. The spell confers 2% per level. For instance, if your cleric is lvl 12, then you would confer 24% magic resistance on the dragon. I'm not sure, but I think they have >90% resistance normally. Because this is not a hostile spell, the dragon will have its resistance lowered but it still won't attack. You can follow up with the mage reduce magic, and the dragon's resistance will be virtually 0. At this point, any weapon or spell will damage it. Even magic missiles. **If you want the Dragons' magic weapons, DO NOT PETRIFY or DISINTEGRATE, you will not get 2 of the best weapons in the game.** So you can use any tactics you want, from spells to hack and slash to missiles to whatever. To give yourself a great edge, set all of Yoshimo's traps right in front of the dragon before you start attacking. Once he turns hostile, the traps go off. Also, remember to beef up with plenty of protections (magic, fear, energy, fire (Firkraag),acid (Shadow),etc and spread out so they can't take out your whole party with a wing buffet.
