The Dragon was "adjusted" by having it's wings chewed off (can't have the "dog" flying away), but it's physical attacks were upped one level on the suggested damage table to reflect ferocity. The trolls were a little weaker than the norm, with only 75 hp and immunity to cold, as well as a "missile" attack that involved breaking off fingers and throwing them - with the fingers doing ongoing 5 until removed! It was bad strategy on their part to split up and try and seperate the gang from the dragon. The ranger was convinced he could "convince" the dragon to help them...it lied :) After the trolls were nearly killed off, it jumped the weakened party and ended up hauling the rogue off for a snack later. I had a riot, what with wiggling troll fingers trying to poke out eyes and plug noses and all. The party thought I "cheated" by having the dragon pretend to be a friend, and betraying them like that. Meh, we'll hash it out. 2 of the 6 have already asked if the dragon left a trail, and the rogue (for the moment) is playing possum...they'll be back, they need the sweet stuff! <abbr><em>Donny_the_DM´s last post: <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/thefineartofthetpk/~3/457574005/grapeshot-grapeshot-for-everyone-or.html" rel="nofollow">Grapeshot!

Ran a slightly "advanced" young white dragon being kept as a bloodhound for a gang of ice trolls last week...the group still won't return my calls! Aaah, 4E. So simple on the surface, yet dig just a little, and the complexity is astounding! <abbr><em>Donny_the_DM´s last post: <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/thefineartofthetpk/~3/457574005/grapeshot-grapeshot-for-everyone-or.html" rel="nofollow">Grapeshot!
