Ok, it seems I solved both my problems in the time from my last post in this thread, and about 15 minutes before this one...
I found the Shadow Armour (and solved a little problem I was having whereby Renal Bloodscalp had "Nothing to say to me"), by going back down to MaeVar`s Guildhall... I hadn`t killed him yet... i`d cleared out the entire building, bar what I needed to.
Then I decided to have another crack at the Dragon, this time using something I found with this fight... I went to the Temple Ruins, new ability ready, rested to remove the fatigue, and went up to the Dragon.
Jahiera: Magic Resistance
Iffnosi: Lower Resistance
Dragon now at 0% magic resistance, only problem being that it`s awake.
Everyone runs, trying to get out of the AOE of the Wing Bufffet... they *almost* make it... WB knowcks 3 uncontious, and everyone is damamged slightly and blown into the corner.
Edwin dies, and get`s resurected with the rod I`ve been carrying for just this type of incident.
Now I use the ability i`ve been saving since Mae`var.

Iffnosi: Casts feeblemind: Thaxxl'sillia (or whatever )
Dragon now can`t cast any spells, or attack me; because it`s completely mindless.
So I start meleeing it.
Then I speed it up a bit...
Jaheira: Insect Plague.

Simple tactic, could have done it a few levels ago (having Edwin rather than my Jester memorise the feeblemind), took a while; but I just killed my first dragon.

Now using my newfound tactic, onto bigger and apparently easier goals...

Firkraag won`t know what hit him.

Ok, same party as above; in Firkraag`s dungeon... just done Samia`s quest (the King Strohm one...); and need help with the monsters just below there... the ones between where you meat Samia, and the area with the well.
I can kill them all easily, bar one: A greater wolfwere.
I can get it down as far as "Badly Injured", but it regenerates compltetelty before I can even swing my weapon.
How on earth am I meant to beat this thing ??

greater werewolves completely regen if you don't do their hp's in damage to them in one round (64) making them extremely hard if you don't have extremely melee heavy characters with bad@$$ weapons (incidentally i never had any problems with the regen bg others have reported, if it is the regen bug go to baldurdash for the patch) or use disintegrate/flesh to stone, cone of cold/wand of frost and risk the loss of loot

Greater Werewolves do not drop loot. Feel free to turn them into dust/ice/stone.

Ok, as predicted, Firkraag didn`t know what hit him... especially not after the feeblemind

Next problem: Where is the nether scroll ??
I`m in the lower tombs, in the room where lots of undead attact me, and I can`t find anything like it. I have absolutely cleared it out, and no nether scroll.

Never mind, I`ve found the scroll... how long should it be until Edwin turns into Edwina ??

I would say max... MAX... Five hours of our time and/or a few days in the game. Pause it and leave it on overnight... if you sleep. (I know that when I was still playing it for the first time, and the second and third times as well, I didn't sleep much.)
Enjoy the dialogue, it's one of the funniest sidequests in the game IMO!
