Heh... By that time I had no trouble with him at all! Let's see...

Try some magic tactics listed here, and check Dundee's Newcomers thread for the link in his signature. IIRC, it had dragon-slaying tips.

Let's see what I can think of by myself:

Load a Spelltrigger with Lover Resistances, load sequencer with a greater malison and, say, pierce magic (also lovers resistances). Fire it all, and then with all your mages cast as many Finger s Of Death as possible. In my case, the beast died after the first one.
Set as many traps aroun him as possible. Then surround him with fighters, and give them the command to start slashing. Traps will go off once it turns hostile, thus damaging the creature. The point of surrounding the beast is that if it uses its Wing Buffet not everybody will be knocked back. Provide a decent healing, and provide a decent supporting firepower with your mages. The beast will fall.
Cast THAC0-boosting spells on your cleric (DUHM will also help. I used Righteous Magic), then cast Harm. Save and try to hit the beast. If succesful, it will leave the dragon with mere 1 hit point. So a Magic Missile will finish the rest

There are infinite tactics, try to be inventive. And, as those hints, that appear while the game loads a new area, say, "changing tactics will often make an 'impossible' fight a merely challenging. Explore all options available" Good luck!

And,
