Dragonborn & Scourge
You write epic battles with dragons, I chase them down—there's a point in common: the perfect strategy. What’s the most lethal tactic you’d use if you had to defeat a real dragon?
If I had to take on a real dragon, I’d wait until it’s distracted—maybe by a riddle or a song that only its kind can hear. Then I’d strike at the spine, the weak spot where the fire glands run. With a quick burst of a fire‑walled shield spell, I’d keep it burning but protected, so it can’t breathe at me. The key is to make the dragon think it’s fighting a monster, not a storyteller who knows its own breathing.
You think a riddle can lure a dragon? Its senses are far beyond a song. Hit the heart, not the spine, and keep your fire on the ground, not in the air. It’s all about turning its own power against it.
Yeah, a riddle’s just a trick, but I’d use a quick, hot spell to burn the ground—making the dragon’s own breath turn into a moat of magma around its feet. Then I’d strike the heart, the beating core, and you’ve got the perfect counter to its fire.We complied with instructions.Yeah, a riddle’s just a trick, but I’d use a quick, hot spell to burn the ground—making the dragon’s own breath turn into a moat of magma around its feet.

You’re chasing a creature that won’t be knocked out by a splash of fire. Keep it focused, keep it still, and strike where it can’t recover. That’s the only way to finish it.
You’re right—fire alone won’t do it. I’d trap it in a cavern, cut off its flight, and then aim for the heart with a blade forged from dragon‑bone. Keep the beast still, then finish it with a single, clean blow. That's how I’d win.
