Unless you have a burning desire to fight wave after wave of dread wraiths, greater shadows, and allips, I might suggest skipping it since it does not advance the plot line and I would have to make it all up.

"Can you tell me what color this dragon is?"
Any chance we may have heard of him?
"He's a deep blue color. "
He's been here quite a while, no chance you've heard of him.

"Ok so no try to hide from it upon approach. Best just to go straight at it I'm guessing."
Bo loads up 6 adamantine round as well..
he will cast shield of fortification on himself when they get there.

"I will buff us with electricity resistance once we are at his lair or close."
Not sure how far the walk is, but he will buff before reaching the place.
He hits the party with the double tap, communal resist elec(30), and communal pro elec(120 points), the later before we enter the lair.
Remember protection gets wiped before resistance comes into play (not the other way around).

Wasn't sure how it added up tbh. Been playing the MM game the same though. He still will overlap as he has plenty o' spell slots..
Ok, decide how you want to approach the building. You guide mentions that's there's only the one entrance, and it's a big hole in the side of the structure.
HP 178/192 | AC 49 | T 27 | FF 43 | CMD 41 | Fort +29 | Ref +28 | Will +26 | Init +13 | Perc +28(24) | SM +20
Bo casts extended divine favor and invisibility, as well as invisibility on Obi and Jan.. He then leads the way into the hole.
"Try to stay quiet until we can maybe get the jump on him.."

Obi drops his spell resistance for a moment to let Bo cast his spell.
"Stealthy is my middle name...."
He scans the structure with his See Invisibility sight to make sure there isn't an invisible dragon perched on top.

Is the dragon really just large?
"Surrender!"
They are 10' squares (as said on the map). I had trouble shrinking down your icons. It is gargantuan.
You hit and confirm.

I see. Sry I didn't pay attention, been a rough weekend.
The dragon reeling in pain from the vicious gunshot wound, casts a spell and disappears.

"He just teleported away.. My guess is that he will be back. Let's have a look around while we can.
Bo moves forwards looking for things of interest, like a massive pile of gold..

There's actually nothing in this room. There is a large door in the SE corner.

Head that way.. Reload one round.
Sorry, it's the eastern door.
Inside is a pile of treasure which consists of 64,000 sp, 21,000 gp, 520 pp, a gold coffer worth 1,400 gp that contains 35 assorted gemstones worth a total of 12,000 gp, a silver bracelet worth 25 gp, a jade comb worth 300 gp, a pair of red silk gloves embroidered with gold thread worth 800 gp for the pair (in a glass display box itself worth 100 gp), a suit of masterwork mithral half-plate, a masterwork breastplate, a suit of +2 banded mail, a wand of lightning bolt (CL 6th, 23 charges), a leather bag containing 4 frozen potions of cure light wounds, a frozen potion of owl’s wisdom, a f lask of oil of magic vestment +4, a bejeweled ivory scroll tube worth 300 gp that contains a scroll of foresight and a scroll of mass heal, a ring of evasion, and a rod of extend metamagic.

Obi takes off his ring of feather falling and pops on that ring of evasion.
"Wonder where the lizard got to?"
HP 178/192 | AC 49 | T 27 | FF 43 | CMD 41 | Fort +29 | Ref +28 | Will +26 | Init +13 | Perc +28(24) | SM +20
"My guess is somewhere to bandage that wound I gave it.. I'm sure we will see it again."
Bo takes the red gloves, because they match his get up, and the oil of magic vestment +4.
Unless there are objections Yap will take the wand, the scrolls, and the rod..
"Someone put those gems in a pack as well. We can try to come back here and gather the rest later."
Looking that flask is only ner +1 AC for Bo, so if someone else wants it go for it.

Jan grabs the gems and the platinum.
You know, I heard once dragons can actually trace the treasure you take from their hoard. Hope that doesn't extend to extra-dimensional spaces.

Do a thorough search of the lair. If nothing else turns up or he/she doens't return by then move on to next boss..

"Yea.. Eventually. We do this here peacock feather quill thing. Let's try it.."
Bo will try and word a question to the quill that will perhaps gain info about where the dragon might be. It that's possible.

"Ran off to get help nearby. "

"It appears he went to get help. Not sure what that means, but we should probably not box ourselves in. Let's move back out into the open more unless someone has another plan."
