OOC: It cannot cast spells or breathe more flame while the Inertia Staff is cramming its jaws. I agree, though, it swould take a lot more than a sword slash to cut off its hand. BTW, the chicken is Lord Raptor not Lord Shield
The dragon bashes its head against a wall until it frees the staff, which falls into its gullet. It then heals itself and the characters look exasperated
Rhazor slashes from the inside. The staff exudes negative energy, draining the dragon as it fights
